The top 10 hybrid strains are not here to agitate you—they're all noted for their relaxing properties and pleasant smells and tastes. From Wedding Cake to Gelato to Cereal Milk, you'll see a lot of dessert flavors that often inspire the munchies, so plan accordingly.

1. Wedding Cake—The Inspired Ingniter Strain of the Year 2019 still rules the hybrid strain charts, noted for causing relaxation, hunger, and arousal. Wedding Cake can have a sweet aroma that may remind you of vanilla. The hybrid strain effect hits heavy but right in the middle, making everyone a fan.
2. GG4—GG4 is a much more pungent hybrid strain than Wedding Cake or other dessert strains. The Chocolate Thai in this triple-Diesel cross pulls the effects toward the middle of energizing and relaxing.
3. Runtz—Zkittlez and Gelato combine in this 2020 hybrid strain of the year. This chatty, happy party weed can taste of syrupy sweet, creamy berry cookie. Runtz crosses like White Runtz and Black Runtz continue to be a fan favorite.
4. Gelato—Gelato is the Barry Bonds of hybrid weed strains—an absolute powerhouse that broke so many records it was bound to attract haters. One-quarter of reviewers say this 2018 Inspired Ingniter Strain of the Year helps them with stress, anxiety, and depression.
5. Blue Dream—Blueberry and grassy flavor invite you into this mellow, balanced hybrid strain. Blue Dream's been a top 10 strain in the US for over a decade. This strain is sought after for stress, anxiety, and depression.
6. GSC—After OG Kush, GSC created a new era of weed that we are still living through. It gave us strains like Sunset Sherbert, Gelato, Runtz, and Wedding Cake to name a few. The mix of OG Kush and F1 Durb leaves reviewers feeling hungry and giggly, which may help with stress and depression.
7. OG Kush—Pine, woody, earthy OG Kush ran the hybrid weed scene in the ‘90s, and 2000s, with a legacy that thrives to this day in strains like Marshmellow OG. Nearly half of reviewers reported it helped with stress, thanks to its versatile day or nighttime effects.
8. Sunset Sherbert—Thank you, Mr. Sherbinski, for accidentally flowering a male GSC in an all-female Pink Panties room, resulting in the game-changing Sunset Sherbert. It's got that sweet berry ice cream taste and a soothing hybrid effect. To this day, its dominant terpenes caryophyllene, limonene, and myrcene define the smell of exotic pot in the US.
9. Gary Payton—Unique stone fruit, pepper, and lavender notes come from this super-popular, trendy hybrid strain from San Francisco’s Kenny ‘Powers’ Dumetz and Jason Meija of PowerzzzUp. The Y combined with the sativa-dominant hybrid strain Snowman (Thin Mint Cookies x Florida OG Kush) created a new GSC category. Gary Payton is climbing into the upper echelon of popular strains alongside sibling Cereal Milk.
10. Apple Fritter—Lumpy's Sour Diesel to GSC results in a tart, sour apple note popping out against a cookies background. Apple Fritter keeps adding fans year after year and has become a top 10 hybrid strain.
