Zoap Origins: An Oakland Love Story
Like many great things in cannabis, Zoap’s origin story starts in Oakland, California. Breeder Deo Farms meticulously crafted this strain through careful phenotype selection and backcrossing, creating something truly special.
The exact lineage involves OZ Kush seeds (Eddy OG × Z) that became Pink Guava, which was then crossed with Sunset Sherbert to start the “RS” (Rainbow Sherbert) line. After popping 100 Rainbow Sherbet seeds, Deo selected female #16 for its exceptional aroma and growth traits, bred it back to a Rainbow Sherbet male, and from those 100 seeds, phenotype #21 became the Zoap we know and love today.
The genius behind Zoap was creating a hybrid that perfectly balanced the candy-sweet terpene profile of Rainbow Sherbet with the tropical, funky notes of Pink Guava. The result? A strain that quickly spread from Oakland dispensaries to become one of the most talked-about cannabis strains in America.
Medical Benefits: More Than Just a Good Time
Beyond recreational use, many patients turn to Zoap to help manage various conditions. Here’s what the cannabis community reports:
- Chronic pain relief: The balanced effects and anti-inflammatory terpenes provide significant pain management
- Stress and anxiety reduction: The euphoric cerebral effects help calm racing thoughts without paranoia
- Depression: Many users report improved mood and emotional balance
- Nausea and appetite loss: Zoap stimulates hunger and settles the stomach
- Insomnia: While not overly sedating at moderate doses, higher amounts can help you unwind for sleep
Remember, everyone’s body chemistry is different, so your experience may vary. Always consult your budtender or healthcare provider to find the best strain for your specific needs.
