‘Zaza’ is a term that has gained popularity in recent years to describe certain types of cannabis. There is some confusion as to what strains of cannabis, in particular, it refers to, as it is not just a general term for all cannabis.
So what exactly is ‘Zaza’? We break down its meaning, the strains to which it refers, and some of the effects you can expect when taking ‘Zaza’.
WHAT IS ZAZA?
‘Zaza’ has become a popular term to describe cannabis strains that are exotic and potent in their form. It can also refer to a specific hybrid form of cannabis.
The word has become commonly used online due to it being included in popular rap songs where the strain is being mentioned, such as ‘Whoopty’ by rapper CJ.
What Forms Does Zaza Come In?
‘Zaza’ is a name for a specific type of hybrid cannabis strain, but is also used as a general term for exotic strains of cannabis. Here are some of the strains that you may find referred to as ‘Zaza’:
Indica-Sativa Hybrid
This hybrid form of cannabis known specifically as ‘Zaza’ has a THC level of 19%-21% and a CBD level of about 0,87% – 1.11%. Its ratio is 70% Indica and 30% Sativa.
The strain itself has a purple and green appearance, and smells of pine, diesel, and citrus. The taste is described as citrus based with hints of blueberry. It is a suitable strain for both experienced cannabis users and those who are still fairly new to the practice.
Its effects include relieving stress, improving sleep, lifting your mood, and increasing hunger levels.
Indica-Dominant Hybrid
An Indica-dominant hybrid that is very popular goes by the name Bubba Kush and can be considered a ‘Zaza’ strain of cannabis.
It has 15% – 22% THC content which is relatively high, making it ideal for experienced users. The CDB levels are extremely low.
The strain’s appearance is green with slight hints of purple and smells like coffee. It has a simple taste that has hints of sweetness and pepperiness.
Its main effects are relaxation, sedation, and increased sleepiness.
Sativa
A potent strain of sativa cannabis is the famous Malawi Gold strain which is an extremely exotic type, making it a typical ‘Zaza’ strain. The pure sativa strain is native to Malawi and has THC levels of between 9% – 13%.
The appearance of the strain is a mixture of shades of green and yellow, and it smells of floral scents and hints of banana. It has a strong taste of menthol.
Main effects include a spike in energy levels, and feeling uplifted, making it a popular anecdote for depression and anxiety.
ZAZA STRAIN EFFECTS
If you consume the official ‘Zaza’ strain, the Indica-Sativa Hybrid, you will enjoy a high-grade strain with a range of effects. It also has a high THC level of about 19%-21%, so it is better suited to the more experienced user, but can also be enjoyed by beginners.
Type of High
When smoking the ‘Zaza’ strain, you can expect a full-scale high that can last for a longer period. You should consider this when deciding when to smoke the strain so that you time it suitably around any other activities you are doing that may require a clear mind.
Its calming effect makes smoking it at night an ideal practice, especially if you are looking for an improved quality of sleep. Try to have it an hour or two before your planned sleeping time so that it has time to settle in.
Sleepiness
If you have trouble sleeping or suffer from chronic insomnia, the ‘Zaza’ strain may be just what you are looking for. It slowly calms your mind and eases any anxiety or stress that may prevent sleep, so that your body can relax to a point of sleep.
The high THC levels bring the body to a sedated state which ensures a switched-off mind and complete rest. This works well if you are looking for consecutive hours of rest and sleep, especially if you may struggle to fit in a solid 8 hours every night.
Mood Lifter
If you suffer from anxiety or depression, the ‘Zaza’ strain can assist in uplifting your mood and leaving you feeling lighter and happier.
The calming effect of the strain reduces any stress, anxiety, or negative thoughts that may be leading to your low mood. It clears the mind first, which then gives way to your body calming down, too. Your muscles relax along with your mental state and you feel an overall improvement in your mood.
This also lends itself to better sleep at night, especially if anxiety and depression are the main factors contributing to poor quality of sleep.
Builds Appetite
As with many other cannabis strains, the ‘Zaza’ strain is a fantastic way to build your appetite.
This is particularly helpful for those who have a weak appetite due to health issues, eating disorders, depression, nausea, or other reasons. It kick-starts your appetite and pushes you to eat a significant amount of food to nourish your body.
Used to Treat
The ‘Zaza’ strain’s multi-faceted effects mean that it can be used to treat several issues, such as anxiety, stress, depression, insomnia, and more.
It calms and sedates the physical body and the mind, relaxes you into a sleep state, and lifts your mood to a state of happiness. It also elevates your appetite, which is useful for nausea, eating disorders, or other forms of sickness.
CONCLUSION
The term ‘Zaza’ can be used to describe the Indica-Sativa Hybrid, or it can just refer to any exotic and/or potent form of cannabis.
The former is a popular and effective strain that many use to treat their issues with depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, low moods, and more. As with any strain, you should start slow when using it and keep an eye on the effects to make sure you’re using the right amount to get the perfect high.
