Dirty Sprite (aka “Dirty Sprite Breath”) is a hybrid strain of cannabis developed by a team from California called Blackleaf. There is little information about the genetic composition of the strain since the team has decided to keep it a secret — though many guess that it is a cross between popular strains Mendo Breath and Lemon Tree.
Dirty Sprite is a sativa-dominant hybrid strain. The THC level can range from 17-22%, and it generally tests for a total of 18.1% of other cannabinoids, including less than 0.5% CBD.
The dominant terpenes of this strain include myrcene, adding to the earthy undertones of this strain. Dirty Sprite also typically contains Limonene, Caryophyllene, and Linalool.
On smoking, the strain has sweet, citrus notes combined with a musky, earthy flavor — similar to a dirty glass of lemon-lime soda. Many cannabis users say that the aroma of the strain is too sweet for them, while some say that aroma just adds to the flavor when smoked.
The high induces calm and euphoric relaxation. Because Dirty Sprite can calm the mind, many also use it to help improve focus and concentration. Thanks to its terpene make-up, the strain can also be used to combat chronic pain and relieve anxiety.
Dirty Sprite is most known for causing an instant euphoric and uplifting high. Cannabis enthusiasts report that this head high is typically followed by a tingly and relaxing body high.
Because of these qualities, this cannabis strain is most often used in the medicinal realm to help combat symptoms of depression, anxiety, and insomnia, as well as providing pain relief.
