Sour Diesel is a hybrid strain of Cannabis sativa.[1] Described as "a cross between cannabis and caffeine",[2] it is known for its "uplifting qualities"[3] and its pungent aromas of fuel and citrus.[2] Samples of the strain have tested as high as 30.6% THC,[4] and the strain is also high in the terpenes alpha-Pinene,[5] caryophyllene, and humulene.[6] In 2016 it was the fourth most popular strain in the United States, after Blue Dream, Girl Scout Cookies, and Gorilla Glue #4, according to a report by the cannabis information site Leafly.[7] Canadian medical cannabis producer Aphria has rebranded Sour Diesel as Kusawa in order to "circumvent public stigma".[8]

According to Leafly, as of 4/23/2017, an ounce of Sour Diesel can be priced in a Denver dispensary from anywhere between $120 and $180 [9]. However, Sour Diesel was formerly known as a premium strain of marijuana, with the price for one ounce rising to over $1000 on Wall Street in 2004.[2] It was selling for $240 per ounce in Denver during 2014.[1]

Origins

According to CannaSOS, Sour Diesel is a cross of Original Diesel and unknown Skunk phenotype, but the origins of the strain remains unknown.[10] One account traces its seeds to "a single bag of legendary cannabis sold at a Grateful Dead concert in Indiana in 1990", the work of an East Coast breeding collective.[2] Alternatively, American journalist Jeff Hobbs credited the strain's development to his friend Robert Peace prior to Peace's death in 2011.[11] A third version attributes it to a New York City grower known as "AJ" during the mid-1990s.[12] It includes genes from Nepal, Kashmir, and Pakistan, and is thought to be descended from Chemdawg, Super Skunk, and Northern Lights.[4] Sour Diesel is also an ancestor of the Tsunami and Sour Tsunami strains.[13]

Use in cuisine

Sour Diesel flowering

Sour Diesel is often used in cooking, in spite of its flavors sometimes being considered difficult to mask.[14] Cookbook author Jessica Catalano recommended pairing it with a porterhouse steak,[15] while a Los Angeles-based cannabis collective served it with a tomato bisque based on terpene matching.[16] It is also thought to pair well with alcohol, particularly tequila,[17] absinthe,[18] Prosecco,[19] and Scotch.[20] Sour Diesel's distinctive flavors and responsiveness to growing conditions have been used as an argument that cannabis plants can respond to terroir in the same way that grape vines do.[21][12]

Sour Diesel has appeared in works by Ryan David Jahn[22] and Toby Rogers.[23] The strain gave its name to a rap album by Doap Nixon,[24] as well as a single by Dame Grease.[25] The Flatbush Zombies single "Face-Off", a rap song about recreational drug use, also mentions Sour Diesel at the start of its second verse: "Perfect day, 10 bitches, and some sour diesel." [26] It is a favorite strain of rapper Wiz Khalifa.[27] In season 3 episode 4 of the online TV show Broad City, Sour Diesel is featured as one of the cannabis-strains in possession of one of the two main characters.[28]
