Cat Piss

This is a strain that may take you by surprise. I mean, who would have ever thought that they might want to smoke Cat Piss? And no, we don’t mean the real thing! This sativa strain has nothing to do with actual feline urine, though it does come with quite a pungent smell! A phenotype of Super Silver Haze, the strain is actually quite enjoyable and delivers a blissfully uplifting cerebral high. Don’t let its THC levels fool you; typically reaching just upwards of 18%, a tad bit lower than some heavy hitters out there, the strain is noted by users to be remarkably potent!

Effects

Once you get over its strange name and give this strain a chance, you’ll be surprised to find Cat Piss is quite delightful. Many users hold the strain in high regard for its strong cerebral uplift, which leaves you feeling euphoric, happy and upbeat! Because of these happy effects, it is widely used medically to help alleviate symptoms of stress, depression and anxiety. There are also energized and focused effects, as well as a moderately relaxing body high that can help users manage ADD/ADHD and fatigue, as well as relieve mild or moderate chronic pains or aches associated with arthritis, nausea, PMS, migraines or headaches, making it a pretty well rounded and balanced strain for medical users. It can give a strong case of the munchies, so just be ready to have some food nearby!

THC Content

Cat Piss is a sativa leaning strain due to its sativa typical high. Depending on the batch or phenotype, some variants of this strain offer a more balanced 50:50 ratio, however some are more sativa dominant with as much as 75% sativa to 25% indica. Its THC content averages between 11% to 18%, and despite this potency being below the 20s, the strain has been regarded by many in the cannabis community to be pretty potent. It is a phenotype of the Super Silver Haze strain, which is also a sativa dominant hybrid (with a ratio of 80% sativa to 20% indica). Super Silver Haze, also known as SSH or SS Haze, has a higher THC count, averaging between 18% to 23%. Cat Piss also happens to be the parent of Cookie Puss, with the child strain’s other parent being the famed Girl Scout Cookies (GSC) strain.

Appearance & Aroma

Cat Piss nugs are a pretty light and bright green, a shade that is almost neon with yellow undertones. Its pistils on the other hand are long and come in a vibrant, tiger orange shade, which is quite fitting for its name! It is finished with quite a generous coating of crystal trichomes, giving it a frosty appearance. Like one might assume from its name, its predominant aroma is of a strong ammonia stench, which may be admittedly off putting for some. There are also undertones of sourness, spices and even a hint of sweetness and fresh earthiness, though these in no way overpower its pungentness. When smoked, however, the blend is actually quite nice! You’ll taste a peppery spice complemented by notes of sweet and sour, as well as hints of pine. While it’s not for everyone and has more of a love it or hate it thing going on, you have nothing to fear if you’re trying this for the first time–it’s nothing like real cat piss!
