Master growers at Oregon Cannabis Authority spend immense amounts of time and energy when cultivating their strains, and one of their buds in particular has become a fan favorite. Sidetracked is a sativa-dominant strain that’s the result of crossing Silver Train and Gorilla Glue #4, and with parents like those, you know she’s potent and produces super fun effects.

At a minimum, Sidetracked comes in at 27% THC, so only experienced users should venture into her world. Nugs tend to be very dense and dark green in color but are accented by bright orange pistils and super chunky white trichomes. It takes a true cannabis lover to be able to handle her flavors and aromas, but if you’re committed, you’ll enjoy her blend of skunk, earth, and diesel.

Some recommend smoking Sidetracked during the day, although if you were to use this as a wake and bake bud, you’d likely get fired that afternoon. Instead, indulge in the latter portion of the day when your invigorating high can get you through the rest of your tasks. This initial creative and focused space brings on massive amounts of joy, but soon after you’ll fade away into a puddle of human. A body buzz will accompany your relaxation, and it’s highly unlikely that you’ll be able to do much of anything except sit and feel amazing.

When medical issues have you down, sometimes numbing and escaping them is the best way to go. Sidetracked is just the strain to do that with too, as her effects are strong and long-lasting. Depression and stress are eased with just a few tokes of this special bud, allowing your mood to lift and all worries to vanish. Bodily pain is expelled as well, and thanks to her massive amounts of THC, individuals who experience appetite issues may find her munchies to be incredibly appealing.

Sidetracked is an ideal bud to have on hand at all times, leading many to want to grow her themselves. However, the team at Oregon Cannabis Authority is rather secretive about their methods, and even trying to obtain seeds for purchase doesn’t seem to be an option. Sometimes you’ll end up with a seed hitching a ride on one of your nugs, and if that’s the case, consult an expert grower before going any further.

The name says it all with this potent plant, as your comedown will leave you so unfocused you may even have a hard time remembering your own name. Yet sometimes in life, that’s just what we need to truly relax and feel refreshed the next day. Spend some time with Sidetracked to see just how long your energy lasts before you head into sedation, and make sure to have blankets and pillows ready for when that time comes.
