TL;DR | Quick Summary
What a weed-salad is
A weed-salad is a combination of multiple strains blended into one experience. The point is not to “boost the high”, but to fine-tune the character of the effect and create a new nuance from familiar profiles.
Think of it like blending perfume or curating a playlist: a new chord from known notes.
Why people mix strains
-
one strain feels too linear
-
desire for more depth or more lightness
-
different strains offer different parts of the state you want
-
curiosity about how profiles interact
-
creating a personalized tone of the experience
How to choose combinations
1. Based on intention
-
Relaxation + clarity → AC/DC CBD × Big Detroit Energy
-
Mood + body warmth → Runtz × Blueberry Bang Bang
-
Physical comfort + gentle creativity → Banana Hammock RBX1 × Pink Bubblegum
-
Euphoria + grounding → Trop Cherry Gas × AC/DC CBD
-
Deep evening unwinding → Sensi Star × Banana Hammock RBX1
2. Based on terpene direction
-
Pinene + Terpinolene → clarity and mental brightness
-
Caryophyllene + Linalool → calm and emotional quietness
-
CBD as a stabilizer → balance within THC-forward profiles
Principles of mixing
-
Simplicity wins. Two-profile mixes feel clearer and more coherent.
-
One main profile, one directional profile. The main one sets the body, the second shapes the mood.
-
Understanding profiles matters more than theory.
-
Listen to your body. It shows whether the blend aligns with you.
-
A mix won’t “fix” an incompatible strain. It enhances a good match; it doesn’t mask a mismatch.
