About Forbidden Fruit

A cross of Cherry Pie and Tangie, Forbidden Fruit is an indica variety. The effects people mention most are feeling sleepy, relaxed and hungry.

THC and potency

Public lab results give a good picture of its strength: 58 flower samples tested between 2020 and 2022 came in at a median of 15.6% total THC (the middle half ranged from 14.2% to 17.3%). CBD is typically negligible (under 0.5%). That is in line with most flower on Canadian shelves. Potency varies by grower and batch, so always check the label.

Aroma, flavour and terpenes

In lab tests its dominant terpene is myrcene, followed by pinene and caryophyllene. Myrcene is known for earthy, musky notes with a ripe-fruit edge, while pinene adds sharp, fresh pine. Total terpene content measured a median of 1%. Consumers most often describe the flavour as grapefruit, tropical and mango.

Reported effects

Beyond feeling sleepy, reviewers also mention feeling giggly and aroused. Some consumers say they reach for it when dealing with stress, anxiety and pain. The side effects mentioned most are dry eyes, paranoia and headaches. These are personal reports, not medical advice.
