Potency profile
Lab-reported ranges across multiple harvests. Individual batches will vary; always check the COA on the package.
Mid-to-high potency sativa. The range reflects phenotype variation — start low and work up for new users.

Pineapple Express leans clearly sativa but carries a real indica foundation. Uplifting and energizing up front, with a mellow body ease that runs throughout.
