In this Purple Pancakes Strain review, I will walk you through my experience in using another hybrid with potent THC. This Indica-dominant isn’t too popular, but I managed to get my hand on one, so let me walk you through it.

The Purple Pancakes Strain is a hybrid from 7ACRES. It has an aromatic profile that is fitting for a delicious dessert. It has a complex, dessert-style flavor profile.

  • Lineage: Not confirmed on an official breeder page
  • Type: Indica-dominant Hybrid
  • Potency: High THC, very little CBD (levels vary by grower and batch)
  • Terpene Profile: Limonene, beta-caryophyllene, linalool (as labeled on this batch)
  • Packaging Details: Packaged on 02/01/2023, tested and reviewed on 02/18/2023 (17 days later)
  • Pricing Details: Purchased 3.5 grams for $32.95 at Ontario Cannabis Store ($9.41 per gram)

A note on numbers: THC and CBD percentages and terpene profiles vary by grower and batch, so treat the details here as one sample and check the label on the product you buy. We could not confirm this strain's parent strains on an official breeder page, so we don't list a lineage.

This product was bought in Canada, where legal cannabis is sold only through retailers authorized by provinces and territories. The minimum age is 19 in most provinces, 18 in Alberta and 21 in Quebec. In the US, marijuana is still a Schedule I drug under federal law outside a 2026 DEA rule that moved only FDA-approved products and state-licensed medical marijuana to Schedule III, and state laws differ.

Appearance: 4/5

The incredible bag appeal is one of the first things that caught my attention in this hybrid strain. The buds are light to medium green with hints of purple. In addition, the orange pistils are highly evident. It is frosty and dense, enough to make me excited about what’s to come. The buds are generously coated in trichomes.

As for the packaging, it’s pretty much the same as many of the cannabis strains I tried. It’s in a vacuum-sealed bag for freshness. I love how the pouch is resealable, which protects the buds from external elements that can ruin their quality.

Aroma: 4/5

Another thing I would like to highlight in this Purple Pancakes Strain review is its aromatic profile. I was initially thinking of something that will remind me of breakfast. However, upon opening the bag, I was reminded of a sweet and flavorful dessert instead.

The top terpene on my label was limonene, a compound also found in citrus peels, and you can smell it.

It has hints of sweet and buttery cake, which fits the name. The sweetness doesn’t overwhelm.

Flavor: 4.5/5

Berry vanilla and pancakes are the dominant flavors I observed in this cannabis strain. I can describe it as a combination of sweet and creamy, exactly how I like my pancakes. Within the first hit, the flavors are apparent. This is unlike others wherein it takes a while for the taste to show up. I guess, the aroma has contributed to its robust flavor.

Aside from sweet cake, it also has a flavor that reminded me of tropical berries. This adds tartiness to the weed. And to balance it out, there’s also fuel, which does not overpower the creaminess and sweetness of the weed.

Effects: 4/5

As an Indica-dominant strain, the Purple Pancakes strain delivers a full-body effect. I took it late in the afternoon, and within a few minutes, I experienced deep relaxation. It made me sleepy.

It’s also worth sharing that I have chronic back pain. I cannot sit or lie down for an extended period without complaining about how painful my back gets. While the effects lasted, I felt more comfortable, but that’s one person’s experience, not evidence that this strain treats pain. The FDA has not approved cannabis to treat any disease or condition, so talk to a doctor if you’re managing a health issue.

Effects differ from person to person, and NIDA notes that anxiety, panic and hallucinations are more likely with strong THC products or large amounts. Start low if you're new.

While the effect is notable, I find it quite short-lived. It would have been better if it was longer-lasting.

Overall: 4/5

Wrapping up this Purple Pancakes Strain review, it’s safe to say that it’s one of those that I will try again. The price is average. Meanwhile, the appearance, flavor, and aroma are incredible. What I like most is how relaxing the effect is.

I can suggest this purple strain to adults who are looking for relaxation. It’s like you’re relaxing on clouds with soft music playing in the background, and I’m, not even exaggerating. I just wished that the effects lasted longer.

Alternatives

If you don’t fancy the Purple Pancakes Strain, here are other alternatives that should be on your radar:

  • Cuban Linx Strain: This is a Sativa-dominant strain, making it a great alternative to the Indica-dominant Purple Pancakes Strain. It’s sweet and fruity with a diesel-lingering flavor upon exhale.
  • Animal Face Strain: While it has a lower THC compared to Purple Pancakes, it’s another equally impressive option. It’s Sativa-dominant, ideal for those who want mind and body-numbing high.
