The rare, balanced strain (50/50) known as Beyond Blue Dream was made from a combination of two mainstays: Super Silver Haze and Blue Dream. It has a mid-high potency (testing around 23% THC on average) and has a strong herbal, fruity scent, that smacks you in the face with pungency. This strain is a creativity booster, one we recommend for afternoons inside when you want to replace a painful body or racing mind with full relaxation and cerebral awareness.

Beyond Blue Dream grows in heart-shaped nugs whose buds are long and dense. As for color, they usually present as dark forest green but turn deep blue as you go deeper, with thin amber pistils and thick, frosted trichomes that are plentiful and blue-white. The strain’s flavor is thick with a palette of sweet blueberries while the exhale is rich and sour. The aroma is more pungent and earthy, with an overarching herbiness that leads to a spicy finish.

Herbal, pungent, fruity, earthy, sour — this is what users receive when they go all-in on their blue dreams. Trained palettes may be able to taste floral undertones that are even subtler, as well as hints of lime, strawberry, apricot, and lemon. It all stems from a terpene profile that includes quite a few components. The main ones are myrcene, linalool, pinene, limonene, bisabolol, and terpineol. In lesser amounts, there’s also camphene, carene, geraniol, and caryophyllene.

The strain’s effects begin with relaxing, mind-altering dreaminess, very similar to Super Silver Haze. Beyond Blue Dream sends you out, drifting on a sleepy shore. You’ll only want to kick back into your happiness and make the most of euphoria — this isn’t a strain for focusing but for phasing out. Beyond Blue Dream can make you feel creative but not energetic, resulting in an afternoon best spent doing your art, knitting, reading, walking around your town, or other low-key relaxing tasks. Some users report feeling nervous on the strain, likely due to its euphoria-triggering effects and 25% maximum THC.

We don’t recommend this strain for headaches as some users have reported that the strain’s mind-expanding impact can have negative effects on those whose heads are already pounding. However, for a physically demanding week, Beyond Blue Dream could be a perfect ending.
