A CLOSER LOOK INSIDE…
The Myrcene at 1.10% stands out the most here… It is definitely higher than I’ve seen of any batch of any strain.
This tends to eclipse the somewhat thin appearance of some of the other commonly seen terpenes.
The next terpene found in the second highest concentration, was Beta-Caryophyllene at a mere 0.24%.

Bodega Bubblegum by Strane, is a potent Indica dominant Indica/Sativa cross of Indiana Bubblegum and Stardawg offering a medium to high level of cerebral stimulation and euphoria which develops into a considerably strong and deeply relaxing, yet non-sedating Indica body high.

THE LONG WAY HOME (my toke…)
This will be the second time that I’ve purchased Bodega Bubblegum by Strane.
However, I’m fairly certain I’ve had this strain more than two times in my life.
Bodega Bubblegum’cs aroma, to my senses, is very familiar, if not nostalgic.
At just over 26% this batch of Bodega Bubblegum is some of best flower that I’ve had from Strane and definitely one of the finer strains in Maryland in general.
This is a very attractive, fragrant, and sweet tasting flower with some heady focused effects which are grounded in a deep Indica relaxation. Each time I’ve tried Bubblegum Bodega my mood is noticeably elevated, much like with Grassroots’ Birthday Cake.
I usually find that I thoroughly enjoy any strain that has Indiana Bubblegum as part of its lineage.
Bubblegum Bodega can really deliver when you are seeking to leave a bad mood behind.
