Rene is an exceedingly rare sativa-dominant hybrid, typically categorized as 80% sativa / 20% indica (with some references listing 85/15). It comes from a cross between Skunk #1 and Himalayan Sativa, a pairing that favors a bright, cerebral lift. Named to honor cannabis activist Renee Boje, this cultivar carries a storied lineage that blends classic potency with a distinctly energetic, social profile.
In the jar the buds are small and grape-shaped, bright neon green, threaded with rich amber pistils and a frosty coat of light milky amber trichomes, with resin droplets that catch the light. The aroma is a surprisingly sweet musky rose with earthy hints; on tasting, the bud delivers a sweet, earthy flavor with a spicy, pungent aftertaste, particularly noticeable when vaped.
The Rene high arrives as a clear, uplifting rush that can feel euphoric and giggly, often making conversations flow and social interactions feel easy. It tends to sharpen motivation while leaving the mind a touch spacey, hopping from one topic to the next with ease. Medically, it may help with chronic pain, inflammation, appetite loss, muscle spasms or tremors, and mood-related issues, while its citrusy and piney notes complement the overall sweet-earthy profile.
