Zkittlez: For the People

What you may expect when you try Zkittlez

You may feel:

Euphoric

Focused 

Hungry

Newcomers and connoisseurs alike truly love the Zkittlez strain. This award-winning indica hybrid is superb on its own, or via one of its many genetic “Z” crosses.

Named for its fruity smells and flavors, the Zkittlez experience may impart a focused calm, and quite possibly some serious munchies. The strain could be best enjoyed while watching a long, detailed documentary. Other times to consider a Zkittlez rip include:

Date night: Enjoy Zkittlez in place of a beer for quality time at home or out and about.

Get crafty: Try your hand at arts and crafts for the first time since summer camp in ‘09.

Get in the zone: Zkittlez could be a vibe for your next workout, sauna sesh, or fitness class.

Should you pick Zkittlez if you’re new to enjoying cannabis?

We think yes, you should. Zkittlez is an excellent choice for adults: from novice explorers finding their preferences to chronic connoisseurs hunting for an easy-to-love classic.

This strain could also be a fabulous choice for those looking to graduate from the “indica versus sativa” narrative. In other words, choose this strain while seeking to better understand how your body interacts with various terpenes, cannabinoids, and so on. Zkittlez – and countless other genetic offspring strains – can be found so universally in New York. Thus, Zkittlez could make a good “control” strain for experimentation in finding your favorite cultivars.

Zkittlez essentials: What you need to know before you try

What’s the genetic lineage of Zkittlez?

The Zkittlez strain is a cross between three strains, uniquely enough. The fruity hybrid was curated due to legacy professionals cultivating a cross between Grape Ape and Grapefruit, then breeding that with a mysterious (or likely proprietary), third indica strain. Since the cultivar’s conception, it’s won multiple prestigious cannabis awards like the Emerald Cup and various regional High Times Cannabis Cups.

What’s the cannabinoid content of Zkittlez?

Cannabinoids found in Zkittlez are THC and oftentimes, CBG. The strain contains no CBD. THC levels will vary from batch to batch with any cultivar. Expect moderate to high THC in Zkittlez, ranging from about 15% to 18%. This is a potent strain, appropriate for recreators of all experience levels.

What does the Zkittlez strain smell like? Why?

Zkittlez was aptly named for its sweet mixed fruit smell. People claim to pick up on notes of grapefruit, lime, and other citrus. Cultivars each get their unique aroma from terpenes, or naturally-produced oils found in cannabis buds. Zkittlez’ primary terpenes are Beta-Caryophyllene, Humulene, and Linalool.

What Zkittlez products can you buy in New York City?

Zkittlez and Zkittlez-derived cannabis products are something you’ll likely see en masse at licensed adult-use dispensaries in New York City.

At The Travel Agency, start your Zkittlez expedition with Hepworth’s Zkittlez Cake flower eighths or 5-pack pre-rolls. It’s important to note that these products are of a strain bred from Zkittlez, called Zkittlez Cake. It’s a slightly different hybrid crossbred with the OG favorite Wedding Cake. The added bonus for trying these Hepworth products? You’ll be directly supporting sustainable, multi-generational female farmers based right here in New York.

Zkittlez cannabis strain shopping tips

Ensure you experience no turbulence while expanding your cannabis horizons.

Testing: Make sure your products have an easily found COA, also known as a Certificate of Analysis. These test results, legally required on cannabis packaging by the State of New York, are an indicator that your purchase is quality assured. Lab testing checks product for harmful trace contamination, as well as product potency, and other important information. Checking your cannabis COAs is a fabulous way to avoid fake, unlicensed, or untested products.

Licensing: Just like every product at The Travel Agency is legally required to have traceable test results, every dispensary is required to be licensed by New York’s Office of Cannabis Management (OCM). Shopping at an unlicensed cannabis store can expose you to products that don’t disclose their ingredients.

How it’s made: It’s an exciting time for weed in the five boroughs. Take some time to understand the brands you’re drawn to and why. For instance, if you like to support women-owned brands in your day-to-day, The Travel Agency has plenty of options to shop and support.
