Happy Rancher, also known as Jolly Rancher, is an enigmatic evenly-balanced hybrid strain of cannabis. The history behind this strain, including genetics and original breeder, are currently unknown. That hasn’t stopped the cannabis communities where this plant is sold from giving it quite the reputation and following. In fact, many consume Happy Rancher despite the mystery behind it because it’s just that good. The name is reportedly quite apt, as puff after puff of this bud pushes your mood higher and higher towards the sky.

Happy Rancher Buds are often oversized, forest green nugs which often take the shapes of spades and peppers. This is likely due to the plant’s evenly balanced genetics which makes it a breeze to grow for amateur growers. These buds are covered in bright orange and yellow pistils which wrap and wind themselves around the surface of the nug, giving it quite some depth. There aren’t too many trichomes, however, and those that are present are mostly found on the interior of the bud once it’s been snapped open. This bud has been grown quite easily both indoors and outdoors, as it produces strong stalks that can hold up the oversized flowers that it produces during the flowering period. Experienced growers can change the chemical balance of the soil this strain is grown in which makes the terpene profile in this unique flower really pop in the final product. These buds smell quite powerful, as they reek of skunk, citrus and peppery herbs. The flavor is quite similar without much of the skunk taste being present and more peppery citrus contained in the aftertaste.

The effects of Happy Rancher are often described as slow to start.

The result is an incredibly potent high that explodes down the back of the neck throughout the body, almost instantly relaxing any aches or pains you might be experiencing. Those who consume this bud slowly are treated to a euphoric heady high that leaves their mood drastically improved. This upbeat and creative high will have artists producing beautiful art in just about any medium they choose.
