The White Widow strain is both famous and sought after. It’s a balanced hybrid that traces its webs back to the Netherlands. It’s the lovechild of a Brazilian sativa landrace strain and a resin-heavy South Indian indica.

White Widow has spun her hazy webs through every Dutch coffeeshop since the 1990s. White Russian, White Rhino, and Blue Widow have all grown from this original heavy hitter and are killer strains in their own right.

Strain Effects

You can expect a wave of energy and euphoria to break over you after a few hits of White Widow. If you struggle with motivation or your mood saps away any desire to get up and go, this could be your new favourite strain. Samplers report a washing away of social awkwardness as the strain promotes conversation. It’s also a great one for creatives.

It’s a fairly balanced hybrid but leans slightly into its sativa genetics. If you’re prone to paranoia, you might want to keep some CBD gummies on hand to balance the effect. White Widow can give you cottonmouth and dry eyes, so keep hydrated.

Appearance, Flavour, and Scent

White Widow’s buds are white with crystal and sticky resin. This is a sure sign of a heavy-hitting strain. It’s a wonderful outdoors strain, perfect for a stroll in a wooded area. The flavours of herb, spice, earth, and wood dancing together on every hit is the perfect combination to enjoy in nature.
