NYC Diesel Strain
Grapefruit over diesel with a talkative, upbeat lift.
NYC Diesel is a sativa strain from Mexican sativa x Afghani, typically testing 18–23% THC and <1% CBD. It leans limonene and myrcene on the terpene side, smells like ruby grapefruit over sharp diesel, and most patients describe it as talkative, upbeat, alert. It's a daytime strain that people reach for daytime, company, creative work — ask for it at RedBilly in Colcord or Roland, Oklahoma.

NYC Diesel is the fruit-forward end of the diesel family, and the grapefruit note is distinct enough that patients recognize it blind.
Underneath the citrus is the sharp fuel character that the diesel lines are known for, so it is unmistakably part of that group.
The effect is talkative and upbeat with only a mild body presence, which is why it works for social situations and daytime tasks.
The Afghani side keeps it from being purely cerebral, giving it a small amount of grounding that the pure hazes lack.
Limonene leads the profile, and the citrus reads more like real grapefruit than the candy-sweet fruit terpenes on newer strains.
Potency in the high teens to low twenties makes it manageable for patients who find the strongest sativas uncomfortable.
It has been on menus for a long time and holds up against newer crosses on flavor alone.
Availability rotates with the grow cycle at Colcord and Roland. The live menu shows exactly what is in the case today.
