Not all gassy strains come in hot and punch you in the throat.
This week on Cannabis School, we break down E85 from Buzz, a gas-forward flower that is way smoother and more balanced than the name might make you think. No, it does not hit like the worst gas station decision you could make for your car. This one is actually pretty damn nice.
Using the Storz & Bickel Volcano, we found E85 to be smooth, mild on flavor, and surprisingly easy to enjoy for a gas strain. The aroma leans gassy, but it is not an over-the-top diesel bomb. The flavor stays pretty mellow, and the whole ride feels more polished than harsh.
Where this strain really starts to stand out is in the cannabinoid and terpene profile.
Top Terpenes:
Limonene
Beta-Caryophyllene
Linalool
Alpha-Pinene
Beta-Pinene
Notable Cannabinoids:
CBGA: 10.2 mg/g
CBG: 1 mg/g
CBD: 0.9 mg/g
That combo matters.
Higher CBG and CBGA levels can be especially interesting for people looking at cannabis for daytime pain support, especially in colder months when joints start acting like they are collecting rent. This episode gets into exactly that, how certain strains can help with pain without dropping you on the couch, and why those minor cannabinoids deserve a lot more attention than they usually get.
We also get into topicals, homemade balm, tinctures, dabs, vaporizing, and why finding the right cannabis protocol is about way more than just smoking flower and hoping for the best.

How E85 Felt for Us:
This one came across as:
Energetic
Happy
Creative
Focused
Chatty
Social
Smooth
It has enough lift to keep you engaged, enough calm to stay comfortable, and enough clarity that it feels useful instead of foggy. That makes it a really solid option for a Saturday strain, a social strain, or even a daytime work strain depending on what you are doing.
It is not sleepy.
It is not heavy.
It is not one of those gas strains that makes you regret the inhale.
It is just smooth, functional, and easy to like.
Best Fit For:
Daytime use
Social hangs
Saturday errands and projects
Creative sessions
People looking for a smoother gas strain
Consumers curious about CBG-rich flower
Things to Note:
Heavy cottonmouth showed up
Slight dry eyes
Smooth vapor, very little coughing
Mild gas flavor, not overpowering
E85 from Buzz is one of those strains that reminds you why looking past THC percentage and into terpenes and cannabinoids actually matters. It is smooth, chatty, mood-lifting, and has enough pain-support potential to make it especially interesting for daytime consumers.
