If fruity cannabis is what you are looking for, then the Member Berry strain is what you must look out for. An iconic strain with one of the best genetic lineages of all time. So stick around and learn more about the iconic strain.
Overview Of Member Berry Strain
I certainly love my job. Every week, I get to ‘review’ a new strain and present my opinion in the form of a blog. This week, I got to try out the all-new strain from Ethos Genetics, the Member Berry strain. And I have several things to say.
The Member Berry strain is an amazing Indica-dominant strain that has some really award-winning genetics, I will get to that later on. It is definitely one of the best strains that boasts a whopping 25%. In fact, some phenotypes can even boast 30% THC.
Right after ‘reviewing’ the strain, I realized that this strain is one of the best from the Ethos Genetics grow house.
Genetic Mapping Of Member Berry Strain
Understanding a strain’s genetic mapping is one of the most seminal points that you need to remember. Understanding the Member Berry Strain’s genetic lineage will help you understand some of the most fundamental things about the strain.
The Member Berry strain is a product of crossing two iconic strains, namely the Mandarin Sunset and Skunk Berry. Both of these strains have had an amazing impact on the cannabis industry and even went on to win several awards. Hence, understanding these strains is very important.
Here is an individual look into the parent strains of the Member Berry strain.
Mandarin Sunset
Mandarin Sunset was an earth-shattering strain when it came out. This strain is a product of crossing the Orange Skunk Strain with the Herijuana strain. Users claim that the Mandarin Sunset strain is a sweet-tasting marijuana with a hint of spiciness. The strain is known to produce a thick cloud of spicy and creamy smoke.
At first look, the buds of the strain look a little like the buds of the iconic Purple Haze or Jealousy strain. The purple hues of the buds will make your eyes light up. Moreover, the strain is also known to produce a deep and relaxing effect on the overall psyche of the human mind. The best part is that these characteristics have also made their way to the strain of the day.
Skunk Berry
The Skunk Berry is like perfection. It is a skunky weed with a berry-ish undertone. As per flavors, you cannot go better than this. It is an award-winning strain that is also one of my favorite strains of all time, alongside the likes of Lemon Haze, Cheetah Piss, Durban Poison, and Purple Punch.
Skunk Berry managed to win the 2012 award for best hybrid and, in 2016, the best hybrid for recreational usage. This strain is definitely one of the only strains that has the ability to keep you alert and high at the same time. However, I personally felt that the sedation was a little too much at some points.
Characteristics Of Member Berry Strain
With that, I am done going gaga over the parent strain. It is time that I look at the strain from an objective standpoint. This is because it will help me to educate you and prepare you for the things that you need to look out for.
This section will look at three primary characteristics that set this strain apart from most other strains in existence. These characteristics include terpene profile, aroma/flavor profile, and appearance. Understanding these characteristics will enable you to identify this strain in a sea of somewhat similar cannabis strains.
Terpenes
Apart from cannabinoids, cannabis plants are also full of other chemicals like then terpenes. These terpenes are very important in understanding the effects, the aroma, the flavor, etc. Hence, here are some of the most important terpenes that can be found in the Member Berry strain.
- Carene (0.03%): Carene can be found in trace amounts and has a citrusy aroma to it. This terpene is usually found in rosemary and pine trees.
- Pinene (0.02%): Pinene is one of the most common terpenes in nature. This terpene can be found in basil, nutmeg, rosemary, etc. It has a sweet undertone.
- Myrcene (0.39%): This is the most abundantly found terpene in the strain. It has a musky aftertaste similar to cloves and spices. It is also responsible for providing relaxing effects to the strain.
- Humulene (0.03%): This terpene has a spicy aroma and feel. Moreover, it is the only terpene with anti-bacterial properties.
- Limonene (0.12%): Limonene is the third most common terpene in the Member Berry strain. As the name suggests, the strain can be found in several citrusy fruits like tangerine, orange, lemon, etc.
- Linalool (0.24%): This is the second most abundant terpene of the Member Berry Strain. However, linalool is very rare in cannabis. It has a sweet lavender-like strain scent that adds flavor to the aroma profile of the strain.
- Valancene (0.08%): Valencene terpene is primarily found in the Valencia Oranges. The terpene is sweet and citrusy in nature.
- Caryophyllene (0.1%): Caryophyllene is the most common terpene that can be found in several kitchen spices. It is known for its slight sedative and relaxing effects.
Terpenes make up around 1.01% of the complete chemical makeup. Still, it determines several different aspects of the strain.
Aroma & Flavor
I do not know about you, but the aroma and flavor of a strain are very important to me. I can never enjoy a strain that does not taste or smell good. It is a known fact that I love skunky weed. That is what I prefer. Howevevr, reviewing this train has made me change my opinion about sweet and fruity weed as well.
The very first thing I noticed about the strain is its aroma profile. The strain has one of the best dual-note aroma. The aroma of the strain goes from sweet berries to the notes of sharp citrusy flavoring. As a result, the strain will manage to mesmerize you with its comforting and invigorating aroma profile. I can safely say that the aroma drew me in.
Subsequently, the flavor profile of the strain mimics the aroma profile. I personally picked up hints of pine, berry, lime, and wet moss flavorings. This made ‘reviewing’ a unique experience.
Appearance
Even though I know that most of you guys do not care about its looks, I like my cannabis to be pretty. I see no harm in it and encourage people to talk more about the overall aesthetic of a cannabis plant.
The first thing you will note is that the bud is a complex interplay of vibrant hues. I identified hues such as forest green, purple, and orange. All these colors come into play and make up for a visual marvel.
The buds of this strain are longer than most other indica-plants. Regardless of the size, the buds are beautifully tucked in and are structurally robust. Therefore, you should definitely take a good look at the strain to understand its beauty.
Effects And Usages Of Member Berry Strain
The characteristics of a strain are very important things to know. But the effects and usage of the strain are what we cannabis connoisseurs live for. What is a pot review that does not talk about the good and the bad parts of the experience? Not my review!
The Member Berry strain is an Indica-dominant strain. As a result, I wanted to review this strain in the evening. The strain starts acting on your cerebral and makes you cerebrally high. A sense of alertness, heightened focus, better clarity, and understanding characterize this cerebral high.
Around 15 minutes into the experience, the mind high subsided, and I started feeling the effects of body high. This is when I started feeling a little drowsy. However, it was not strong enough to knock me out completely. It was a gradual high that went for a prolonged period of time.
For me, the whole experience lasted for around 1 to 2 hours. During this period, I went through rows of emotions. Therefore, It was more like a roller coaster ride with its certain highs and lows.
Medical Usage
I found some interesting details about the Member Berry strain after scouring the internet for research purposes. According to several researchers, member Berry boasts a THC percentage of around 25% to 30%. As a result, this strain can be used in order to treat several medical conditions.
Going by my general understanding, Member Berry extracts can be used in order to treat patients who are suffering from conditions like ADHD, OCD, Anxiety, BPD, Anorexia, insomnia, etc. This is because the strain has the ability to de-clutter and make people feel centered.
Due to its indica lineage, the strain also has the ability to relax muscles and work as an analgesic. Several users claimed that the strain has the capability to be one of the best analgesic medical strains in existence.

The Member Berry strain is a perfect strain for an end-of-the-day smoke session. In other words, it will help you relax and unwind after a long day of toil and hard work.
I kind of enjoyed the high of this amazing new strain. The strain really made me feel relaxed and calm. My partner, on the other hand, felt that the strain was a tad bit too much to handle. So, you need to keep your consumption moderate in order to avoid adverse effects.
Adverse Effects
In my opinion, the strain was mostly a smooth sailing experience. However, it was not at all devoid of any adverse effects. 28 % THC is not a joke. People can get really woozy and might need assistance.
Several users claim that they were knocked out for hours and that it was too much to handle. Here are some of the most common adverse effects of the strain:
- Paranoia
- Anxiety
- Loss of motor function
- Disorientation
- Fatigue
- Nausea
- Dry eyes
