Forbidden Fruit Strain
Tropical fruit and pine resin with a slow, full-body settling.
Forbidden Fruit is a indica strain from Cherry Pie x Tangie, typically testing 17–23% THC and <1% CBD. It leans myrcene and limonene on the terpene side, smells like passionfruit and cherry over pine and damp earth, and most patients describe it as slow onset, full body calm, mellow head. It's a evening strain that people reach for evening, patients who want fruit flavor with indica weight, winding down — ask for it at RedBilly in Colcord or Roland, Oklahoma.

Forbidden Fruit is what happens when you cross a dessert indica with the most citrus-forward sativa on the shelf. It ends up smelling tropical and behaving heavy.
The nose is passionfruit and cherry on top with pine and damp earth underneath, and it is one of the more complex profiles we put in front of patients.
Effects arrive slowly. There is a long runway compared with most of the case, and then a full-body calm settles in rather than dropping.
The head stays mellow throughout. Patients rarely describe it as mentally busy, which is part of why it lands on evening recommendations rather than afternoon ones.
It comes from Cherry Pie crossed with Tangie. The Tangie side explains the tropical top note; the Cherry Pie side explains why the weight shows up eventually anyway.
The flower usually comes deep purple and dense with a heavy resin layer, and it is one of the better-smelling jars to open even by dessert-strain standards.
It is an occasional item in our cases. The live menu is where to check whether Colcord or Roland has it in stock today.

From behind the counter
The slow onset catches people out. I tell everybody to wait longer than they think before deciding it isn't working.
Forbidden Fruit questions we get
Is Forbidden Fruit an indica?
Yes, it is indica-dominant, from Cherry Pie crossed with Tangie.
Why does Forbidden Fruit smell tropical?
The Tangie parent contributes a high limonene load, which sits on top of the myrcene-heavy Cherry Pie base and reads as passionfruit and citrus.
How long does Forbidden Fruit take to kick in?
Patients commonly report a slower onset than with other indicas in the case. Individual response varies, so waiting before redosing is sensible.
How strong is Forbidden Fruit?
Typical published testing lands in the 17–23% THC range.
