Blue dream is a jack of all trades hybrid strain for me. it's everywhere, cheap, tastes good, smells good, looks good and has good effects. the best part is that both indica and sativa effects can be felt. it's not my absolute favorite strain but I will never say no to blue dream!
Blue dream is definitely a strain that will quickly make it to your favorites list! With that being said, this strain can be used during both day and night. I noticed that if you smoke a little bit, you'll get more sativa effects and If you smoke a good bit, the indica effects take over. This strain is great for pain, stress/anxiety, appetite issues, sleep issues and much more! No matter how much you smoke, you'll feel great and euphoric! I always have to pick this up when I find some! Great strain 4/5! :)
TL:DR - This is easily the best strain I have ever enjoyed, judging by any metric. I'm not only able to tolerate - but have been able to enjoy Blue Dream. It is the strain that has utterly convinced me that there can indeed be marked differences between strains of the same cannabis subspecies. The effects listed on the Leafly strain info are remarkably accurate. Blue Dream is a good strain for happiness, depression, mood, vigilance, creativity, and those who need to medicate and stay functional.
You want more info after that TL:DR? Here you go:
I stopped smoking pot a long time ago. It must be about 15 years now since I was last able to truly enjoy it. There was a gradual shift from enjoyment to being riddled with anxiety, hellish introspection, and a mental self-flagellation of an uncommonly robust nature, which had begun to make me question if I had some deep-seated masochistic tendencies I had buried and forgot about. Shit sucked.
So I stopped smoking.
Flash forward 15 years, five surgeries, and I find myself recently emerged from a decade's long addiction to fentanyl, hydromorphone, and good ol' trusty heroin when I ran through my Rx before I was supposed to. You can see how pain management might be a tricky issue. I've been experimenting with flower and concentrates over the last year without much consistency in how they work and how I handle it. But there's been enough of a glow in a few experiences to keep me searching for something that will work.
Nearly all I had been smoking and vaping were indicas, or indica-dominant hybrids, since the commonly accepted rule of thumb is that sativas are bad for anxiety, indicas are good. So, I was trying those types over and over again and I absolutely hated it. Many days I would rather be in pain then be high since, not only did I feel worse than before I smoked, but it would absolutely wreck my fucking day.
I had all but given up on finding something that I could use and was weighing the pros and cons of attempting to be responsible with pain management via prescription opioids, again.
On a last-ditch attempt at finding something that would work, I picked up a gram of Blue Dream and one of Tangerine Dream (No intention of keeping a theme, there) and I rolled the dice on a gram of Atomic Northern Lights. after reading the information on, and reviews of, those three.
Blue Dream was the one I had my sights on first.
My tolerance is low. Very low. So I pinched off ~0.05gm and loaded into a one-hitter. As I'm putting the buds back into the jar, I catch myself sticking my nose in it and inhaling deeply, thoroughly, and getting lost in the aroma. A little grassy, a vague hint of the spice cabinet, and a good measure of the nectar-laden flowers of fruit trees. It also has that extra-special something to it that always defines high-quality cannabis for me. If you've ever smelled the stuff they used to import in quantities ranging from the shitload to the fuckton (I think those are imperial units), in addition to medical, you'll know what I'm talking about.
I light the pipe, inhale, hold for ~2 seconds, exhale, and put it away.
The taste of this is really good. I grew up on brick weed though so anything that tastes better than that brown-frown garbage is always a treat for me. However, I'm not particularly fond of the taste of smoke on anything but food. That said, this is pretty good. Smooth. Enjoyable. Nothing to complain about, but nothing I'm going to base a recommendation on, either.
The high itself though, is like, the best shit ever!
The literature says that this is a potent strain, but it's so gentle on the psyche I'm starting to think I can try other strains in the same range and not have a bad experience.
After I exhale, I'll get that initial shift in perception both visually and internally and it begins to build slowly over the next 10-20 minutes from there.
There are mild waves of euphoria and - I feel weird saying all this since I never used to believe it, but it's true - relaxation that wash over you. Real euphoria. Happy, smiling, God-it's-good-to-be-alive type euphoria. In no way do I feel lazy, nor stupid in the head. That is such a drastic departure from everything else I've tried that I almost begin to suspect I've taken on a placebo-effect from reading the reviews.
But I haven't.
I can't quite tell if this gives me energy, or if puts me into the proper mindset to be productive. It doesn't stimulate as much as it give vigilance. Either way, I love it. I no longer feel like a lazy bastard, sleeping and eating Cheetos while giggling at Netflix. Don't get me wrong, I used to love that, and I know a lot of you do, too. I'm not knocking it, I'm just not able to do it and not feel anxiety.
That initial energy and bliss that I get tapers off after the first hour or so to a nice midpoint that feels more like contentment or satisfaction with life, than it does euphoria. Which I actually enjoy. I don't want to be tits-to-the-wind for 6 hours at a time. A good hour of being goofy-level happy is good for me. Any more than that and I start noticing parallels to how I would act under the forceful euphoria of opioids. Nothing bad, just a little more social lubrication than I want for that long a time.
I - completely - agree that this is a good strain for depression, mood, vigilance, creativity, and those who need to medicate and stay functional.
Blue Dream is - truly - enjoyable. While it's not as good on pain as the Tangerine Dream or the ATL I picked up at the same time, it is wonderful in its own way. I don't focus on it, and I'm too damn happy to really give a shit if I hurt, too.
This is the strain which has eased a freight train of anxiety and uncertainty about my medical options in dealing with this aging, broken, body and the possibility of walking straight back into the addiction I worked so hard to escape from.
I will be keeping a supply of this on-hand to reach for whenever I need to be able to function socially, professionally, intellectually, or any other "lly" I'm missing there.
I can't recommend it enough!
This is the only strain I feel safe vaping before I work. Calmly eases my anxiety and depression without taking any of the sharpness from my mind or distracting me. Makes me feel poised, ready, and confident to take on my day.
Just an all around incredible high. I love analyzing highs and this was by far my favorite to enjoy and contemplate. This is the most flawless 50/50 hybrid imaginable. You are able to control the high whatever way you like. Helped my anxiety, my depression and my headaches. Best of both indica and sativa. Strongly recommend to anyone :)
Super common strain over here on the east coast, a lot of this strain even gets sold under different names but are textbook examples of blue dream. And its popular for good reason.
The balance between cerebral and body are awesome. Relaxing but not a knock-out punch. Uplifted without anxiety or paranoia. Awesome for mid-day or evening use but not bad for morning either in smaller amounts.
Smells of sweet blueberries with herbal undertones.
Most nugs are big, fluffy, and conical.
The best blue dream ive encountered, however, was solid as a rock.
Either way this is a highly recommendable strain and its easy to see how it became an instant classic.
This strain was a staple in Bay Area weed culture in the 2010's. I can't remember who WASN'T smoking it. This is a common but classic strain with strong medicinal and spiritual properties. Recently I've been getting buds with a rich rosey lemon phenotype. It really is one of the most delightful weed scents that I've ever smelled.
Blue Dream is very relaxing and provides an uplifted almost philosophical high. I started pairing this bud with my yoga not too long ago and it really helps to deepen my practice and mind-body connection. Meditation and Blue Dream go hand in hand as well. The reason I'm giving this only 4 stars instead of 5 is because this has a very high THC content and can be very strong, catching you by surprise at times. I've gotten paranoid a few times and in higher doses you can really feel the Haze which isn't always conducive to focusing and getting lots of work done.

-----------INTRODUCTION---------
To start this off I'll say this strain is wonderous. So I hit up my dealer asking what he's got and he tells me he has Blue Dream. I quickly text back that I'll take some but I say it in a way that'll make me seem like I haven't lost my cool. So I get home from work and my grandma sends me to the store to grab some groceries. I say okay then immediately go upstairs to my room to grind up this beauty and stuff it into my acrylic bong. As I sat there demolishing the perfectly packed nugget of Blue Dream I couldn't help but notice the amount of crystals it had. Now along with my acrylic bong I have a matching acrylic grinder that does not have fancy chambers and luxuries of that nature. No, my single bottom-and-top-cap-with-teeth grinder doesn't collect keif. So I think to myself a little nug wouldn't hurt. I refrain from grinding and collect a small nug which I so carefully place on top of the screen in the bowl of the bong and I toke away. One smooth hit and I was able to fill the chamber of this 12" acrylic bong and take an additional hit from the smoke in the chamber. I grab my keys and I embark on an adventure.
--------THE STONED MAN---------
I really hope you guys get my Hobbit reference just then. Anyways, so I walk out to my truck and I feel the tingles happening behind my head, and I thought "nice cerebral buzz" and it was. I drive over to my local grocery store and i feel the effects intesify. The focus, the increased view of my peripheral vision, the energy coming from no where making my mind make decisions effectivly and quickly. I parked and walked inside, at this point my eyes are heavy (not from sleep). I pace myself looking at the different isles. I walk looking for a particular item and when i get to the isle it should be at, theres nothing there. I walk around the store twice looking for assistance only to come back to the isle i was at and asking an employee there. I ask a clerk where it would be and he takes me to an isle close by and hands me the item. I say thanks and walk away. Granted, this doesnt sound like much, but it took me about 20 minutes to ask someone for assistance, at one point i stood still staring at a girl because i thought she worked at the store but couldnt figure out, i later found out she did in fact work there. So i get one item and i go get the rest of the stuff. I continue admiring the store and i end up at the check out lane. I get checked out and the effects are now slowly wearing off. I go to by truck and the ride home is amazing. Looking at all the lights on houses was so invigorating.
------------THE END------------
Finally back home i walk in hand my grandma the groceries and she asked for her change. I gave her everything in my wallet (close to $150 and I walked away. Her change was only $8. I come back and I grab the money I count it and correct my error. And by now effects are at their faint, but euphoria was still present.
----------THE VERDICT-----------
A++
This strain delivered intense euphoric and body high on a small dose. Being a frequent smoker I like running into strains that have more potency than usual strains. I would definitely recommend this strain. Last thing I'd like to add is that when I was walking to my truck I was carrying 2 jugs of bleach in one hand. I'll usually do this in short distances but I had parked far back. So the walk was a couple of minutes. The strain gave me the focus to look past the pain I started getting from holding the jugs of bleach in both hands, which leads me to conclude that this could be a great sativa for working out.
