White Widow is one of the most popular strains served in coffeeshops in Amsterdam and looked as the best strain in the world.. This strain gets its name because of the high amount of trichomes it produces (the buds are covered in trichomes which give the buds a white colour). White Widow has won the most cannabis cups than any other strain, giving White Widow its reputation as one of the most potent stains of marijuana. It smells sweet like chemical berries, and the resin is so sweet and sticky it sticks to your fingers like cheese pulling away from a hot pizza. These traits are common phenotypes of the legendary White Widow and all of her close brothers and sisters.
