In some places, the legal age to consume cannabis is 18 with a medical card; some places it’s 21 with valid ID. That means young cannabis consumers, especially those of college age, are all over the place. Both groups are fully legal and justified, however the cannabis industry still runs from addressing these age groups due to the stigma surrounding “kids and weed.”

It’s silly, and because it’s silly, I’ve become more and more curious about younger consumers and the products they consume. After looking at Leafly’s data for the year-over-year growth of search interest in strains, I’ve put together a list of the 7 most trending strains among people 18-24 years old.

1. Mimosa

Cannabinoid profile: THC-dominant (19-23% on average)

Mimosa is a cross of Clementine and Purple Punch. It has beautiful purple buds and a strong flavor of orange terpenes with a fruit punch kick on the smoke. It makes sense why this is the most searched strain among younger consumers—it’s absolutely delicious.
