Strain Description

If you’re after a layered cannabis experience that takes you on a journey, Top Gun is the one. You’d assume with a name like that, this strain would be a straight shooter, but that’d be a negative, Ghost Rider. 

The Top Gun strain experience is a bit of a roller coaster, focused and uplifting at first, then fading into a stony, lazy haze, and finally, sleepy sedation, so you’ve got to be ready for the ride. 

This versatility makes Top Gun a frequent pick in THCA flower selections for those seeking a balanced evening strain.

With high THC levels that manage not to be overwhelming, this Top Gun weed strain is an excellent choice for users who enjoy the warm and weighty waves of an indica, but not the undertow-like intensity that usually accompanies stronger ones. 

Perfect for some alone time, this bud is the ultimate guide for a solo night in, where users can indulge in the ultimate Top Gun strain review. 

The flavor here will also keep you guessing. Quizzically blended from Atlas Star and Cotton Candy, Top Gun is sugary sweet, with bursts of fresh-squeezed orange and a strong undercurrent of diesel and soaked earth, a unique and interesting blend that keeps you guessing as much as the strain itself does. 

If you’re lucky enough to find this interesting indica dominant strain you can guarantee you’ll be flying high with cannabis’ best wingman.
