MSG, also known as Styrofoam Cup, is a hybrid weed strain made from a genetic cross between GMO and Sunset Sherbet. This strain is named after the flavor enhancer monosodium glutamate, which is often used in Asian cuisine. MSG has a savory and spicy taste with hints of garlic, cheese, and citrus. MSG is 18% THC, making this strain an ideal choice for experienced cannabis consumers. Leafly customers tell us MSG effects include relaxation, happiness, and euphoria. Medical marijuana patients often choose MSG when dealing with symptoms associated with stress, pain, and depression. Bred by Cannarado, MSG features flavors like cheese, garlic, and citrus. The dominant terpene of this strain is caryophyllene, which gives it a peppery and earthy aroma. The average price of MSG typically ranges from $10-$15 per gram. MSG is a potent and flavorful strain that can stimulate your appetite and your mood. If you’ve smoked, dabbed, or consumed MSG, tell us about your experience by leaving a strain review.

4-17-24 harvested by Classic Roots Farm, Michigan. 31.62% cannaboids, 29.14% ThcA, 2.54% Terps, 0.06% CBD. Sweet cream and vanilla smells. Appears to be an Indica hybrid with only one shoulder-spade on the side. Light green, sparkling trichomes, dark orange hairs on soft spongy buds. Diesel, Pepper, Earth tastes. Way too much diesel flavor, chemical flavor. Harsh cough with each toke. Weak indica. Do not buy...

I am ADHD and I recommend this strain to anyone who has this same issue as I. All strains help others differently. With my epilepsy and ADD it has help with mood issues also. I’m not one to give likes to very picky smoker. I recommend this one. It definitely hit the spot smells what you want

Tucson, AZ - Recently is switched to a dry herb vaporizer and tried MSG. Bought 3.5g for $40 in flower to try out and here’s how it went… I was excited for this strain after seeing it at my local premium dispensary. It was listed at 31% but didn’t really hit as much as I thought it would. (I consume on average 1.5g daily) No effects really jumped out at me which could be it why it’s a hybrid. I did feel relaxed and clear headed if anything. It’s a decent strain. Nothing that I would go out of my way to get if it popped up available again. But this WOULD be a nice “premium strain” to share with friends that casually smoke and newbies.
