Dear Stoner: Are older strains making a comeback? I saw Sour Diesel and Grapefruit in a Denver dispensary yesterday, and it felt like 2014 again.

Dear Garden Groover: Don’t call it a comeback; they’ve been here for years. Well, actually, maybe you can call it a comeback in evolved legal markets. Commercial demands and growing schedules pushed out Colorado’s weed genetics from the 2010s, like Cough and a very long list of Hazes, which didn’t bloom fast enough or had subpar THC potency for today’s inflated expectations. Not only that, but the legal pot industry quickly faced trend issues similar to that of craft beer, which spiraled out of control with elaborate pastry stouts and milkshake IPAs. Today’s dispensary shoppers want weed that smells like candy or Fruity Pebbles instead of anything gassy.
Sour Diesel is making a comeback in Denver, much thanks to growers like Meraki and Single Source.
