The Pineapple Express strain has thick and lumpy buds that show off the strain’s hybridized genetics: they are densely packed like indica flowers, but have the long and tapered shape characteristic of many sativa varieties. The deep green leaves are sometimes tinged with shades of red (the result of pigments activated by cold weather during the grow process) and are accented by deep orange to red pistils. This is a very resinous strain, and the sticky flowers can be very hard to break up without a grinder; the residue left behind may be difficult to clean off of surface and fingertips. The predominant smell of Pineapple Express flowers is, unsurprisingly, pineapple — but there are other, less tropical scents present like a hint of musk and some dank earthiness.
When inhaled, the smooth smoke from this strain tastes earthy and a little bit piney. On the exhale, users will detect a sugary sweetness that lingers in the mouth, although not unpleasantly.
Pineapple Express offers what can be described as a creeper of a high — smokers may have long since finished savoring the smoke’s unique taste before they notice the effects. They begin in the head, with a change in perception. Many have reported some initial psychedelic distortions like a sharpened focus on colors and sounds. As such, Pineapple Express can be a great strain to accompany a scenic walk. This alert head high is soon accompanied by a tingling relaxation in the extremities that helps users feel at ease, whatever their surroundings. The combination of cerebral focus and mellow relaxation makes Pineapple Express a versatile strain, good for chatty get-togethers or getting through a to-do list. Medically, this strain’s feeling of mental calm can be very effective in treating mood and anxiety disorders, helping patients to be more fully present and energetic. And although this strain isn’t as good as some more indica-dominant hybrids in treating physical pain, its head high can actually be useful in distraction users from the acute perception of chronic pain. The high from Pineapple Express is said to last longer than usual, providing a more economically efficient high for many consumers.

4.7/5 – I am extremely critical of this strain, I purchased this once before from another MoM and was unfortunately not impressed, it scared me away from it and never even thought to give it a second chance. Then I seen these pics, and had to give it another chance, and super happy I did!
I took of .3 of a star off for the slight leafiness to some of the smaller buds (the bit of leaf was covered in crystal and I’m not complaining at all, just explaining my rating), the larger buds were amazing to look at and really no leaf at all. The taste of this is really smooooth but with fast hitting energetic effects! You will get your housework done with a smile and still have energy to go out in the evening. This will easily put a smile on any smokers face at any time of the day!

I’ve been a huge fan of this strain for a while and have ordered it a few times from various dispensary’s and I have to be honest when I say it’s one of the best and cheapest pineapple express’s around. I got some real nice big healthy and stinky looking buds and a few small ones. Couldn’t be happier and will order again!

This was some impressive crop, one of my favourite orders so far from any MOM. Perfect texture-not too dry, not too moist, it was just right. Gorgeous, fruity pineapple aroma that really came through in the taste, providing a superb smoking experience overall. But this strain was not all about surface appeal-cracking open one of these chunky round nugs will reveal a core enveloped in trichromes. Powerful, long-lasting hybrid high. Great in a bong but excellent in a joint. I’ve ordered a dozen or so strains from this site now and out of all the zips I’ve ordered this one had the biggest nugs. One of them weighed nearly 5g. Don’t miss out on this one while it’s in stock. Easily worth up to $190. For the price it’s a definite 5 star.

Ordered this again and I can attest to the consistent quality. It’s obviously not from the same grow, but whoever they got this from knows what they are doing. Got some lovely large nugs in my bag. Wonderful tropical nose, nugs loaded with trichromes. BLG continues to bless us with amazing prices.

This strain is my other favourite from BLG after green crack. The bud is frosty, smells sweet but also piney. Expect a mostly a head high with lots of energy.
