Papaya Strain
Tropical fruit on the nose and a heavier body than the smell suggests.
Papaya is a indica strain from Citral #13 x Ice #2, typically testing 18–23% THC and <1% CBD. It leans myrcene and caryophyllene on the terpene side, smells like ripe tropical fruit and mango skin over a soured earthiness, and most patients describe it as body-forward, calm, slow thinking. It's a evening strain that people reach for evening, patients who want body over head, winding down — ask for it at RedBilly in Colcord or Roland, Oklahoma.

Papaya is one of the more misleading jars on our shelf, and we say so up front. It smells tropical and bright, and it smokes like an indica.
The cross is Citral #13 with Ice #2. The fruit comes from the Citral side and the weight comes from the Ice side, and the weight is what most patients remember.
Effects sit in the body. Patients describe warmth through the limbs, slower thinking, and a comfortable heaviness that builds over ten or fifteen minutes rather than arriving at once.
That gradual build is a fair reason to wait before taking more. Patients who dose it like a sativa because of the smell usually end up further along than they planned.
Myrcene leads with pinene behind it, which explains the soured earthiness sitting under all that mango and keeps the profile from being one-note.
Published testing lands in the high teens to low twenties, moderate enough for most patients while still delivering a full indica body effect.
Papaya rotates by grower at both stores. The live menu shows what is actually stocked rather than what usually is.

It smells like a morning strain and smokes like a nightcap. I tell everybody that before they buy it.
Papaya questions we get
Is Papaya indica or sativa?
Indica-dominant. The tropical smell reads sativa but the effects are body-forward and settling.
How strong is Papaya?
Published ranges typically land in the 18–23% THC range, moderate to upper-middle for a current shelf.
What does Papaya taste like?
Ripe tropical fruit and mango skin with a soured earthiness underneath that comes through more in the smoke than the jar.
When should I smoke Papaya?
Evening. The body effect builds gradually and gets heavier the longer you sit with it.
