America runs on Oreoz—May’s Leafly HighLight strain (2024)

Hope you got milk.

When it’s time to fire up some late-night relaxation and munchies, America keeps turning to the indulgent, sweet, self-care strain Oreoz. On shelves nationwide, Oreoz is a Leafly Strain of the Year 2022 runner-up, as well as a top 150 strain on store menus, and a top 15 strain in search traffic. Oreoz reigns as part of the dessert strain dynasty that rules modern weed. The cross of Cookies and Cream and Secret Weapon goes great with some me-time snacks—eliciting hunger, relaxation, and smiles. That makes Oreoz our Leafly HighLight for May.

Premium Oreoz buds induce drool with this sweet, hashy, gassy vanilla taste, sometimes with tobacco and coffee notes. Oreoz has a 4.6 out of 5-star rating after 208 reviews on Leafly; our first review of Oreoz dates back to 2020. With its glacial, dark, dramatic look, Oreoz resets the bar for bag appeal; it’s highly Instagrammable weed. Notes of chocolate and diesel bloom from the best bags, and the high-THC effect can knock down even veteran smokers.

“Fire strain helps me see the field in Madden NFL better,” said one reviewer.

“Oreo’s is one of the most hard-hitting strains I’ve smoked.”
