Have you ever had a month where everything lines up perfectly? From pay days to due dates and important gatherings, the month just seems like it’s smooth sailing? That’s the precise feeling I had leading up to this month’s weed haul. Not only was the month going smoothly, but pay day happened the day before I ran to the store.
I was prepared to pay more and try out another tier—that’s how much of a good mood I was in. That would change once I saw my options, though. As always, I barged into the store, excited to make my latest purchase when I stumbled upon a staggering amount of Runtz strains.
This time around, Tier 1 had one option, which was plain old Runtz, and Tier 2 had two Runtz options. A low chuckle rumbled in my throat as my eyes darted between all the Runtz strains.
The dude at the counter asked me if I was looking for anything in particular, but I was too overwhelmed with the options. Everything was new, and I was really interested in this new strain they had: Obama Runtz. All I could comment on was the overwhelming amount of Runtz selections, and he must’ve known exactly what was going through my mind.
Well, say no more, my dear friend.
I’ll take half an ounce of that, please and thank you.
Obama Runtz Overview
| THC: 14-18% | Effects: Sociable, euphoria, calm, physical tingles, sleepy |
| Strain: Indica-Hybrid | Good for: depression, stress, insomnia, nausea or appetite loss |
Picking the second option was a little more difficult. That came down to personal preference, but let me clearly preface this by saying that I was pleased with my purchase. Of course, since the guy at the store recommended the Obama Runtz — and I’ve already reviewed two other variations — you have to know I would write about that strain first.
I’m going to give the ending away right: I understood why people were coming back for Obama Runtz.
In truth, they looked and smelled like many other similar strains. The nugs were darker compared to the other strain I got. These buds were more of a deep, dark forest green, but the buds were beautiful. Each nugget had dark grey and purple undertones. Soft fuzzy orange hairs cover each bud and the nuggets had pale-white, almost clear-like, crystals that were glistening in the room light. If I had to compare this strain to any of the others, I think the Rainbow Runtz is the most similar looking one.
Tier 2 and Tier 3 Strains Oct.
While the buds didn’t smell like straight dirt, there was a woody and earthy scent to the baggie. I noticed this in the taste as well. However, the quality that really put this strain over the edge was the sweet and fruity taste (and smell) the strain had. Almost instantly I could tell this strain apart from the others I’ve tried. With the first inhale, my mouth was filled with a berry or cherry like flavor.
Obama Runtz Is a Three-Way Hybrid

The strain also had a hint of a floral scent mixed in there as well. When I exhaled, I experienced the same flavoring. It was delicious, and like I said, based on the flavoring alone, I can see why the strain became so popular. Interesting enough, unlike the other strains I’ve reviewed, this isn’t any typical hybrid.
According to Allbud, Obama Runtz has upwards of 18% THC, and is a three-way indica-dominant hybrid strain created by combining:
- Afghani (pure Indica)
- OG Kush (50/50 Chemdawg and Hindu Kush)
- Runtz (50/50 Gelato and Zkittlez)
So basically, the Obama Runtz is the Platinum Kush strain I tried last month, mixed with the Runtz and again, everything seems to be making more sense. I enjoyed the Platinum Kush last month and I’ve enjoyed the Runtz I’ve tried too.
Overall, I found this strain to give a good body high while tasting amazing. It was great right before a yoga session and helped me loosen up even more. A joint before bed would have me out like a light, but I would stay away from using this strain for an early wake and bake session. The bag lasted us just as long as my normal run, so they were definitely worth the price. Plus, this strain can help you manage anxiety, stress, depression, and anxiety. Some effects include body tingling, being more sociable, feeling sleepy, or calm and euphoric.
Obama Runtz Personal Rating
While these nuggets were beautiful, I think to this day the Firestarter and Ghost Face (not reviewed on the site) are the prettiest looking buds I’ve seen. The Obama Runtz does outshine the Platinum Kush in this department though and it earns a solid 8 out of 10. Both the Aroma and Flavor were powerful and memorable. The hint of sweetness mixed with the traditional earthy taste was an outstanding combination.
Overall, the rest of the categories were pretty on par with the rest of the strains in this Tier. The quality was a 6 out of 10, as there were a few stems (as expected) but it broke up about the same as the other strains. As a result, the Quality and Burn both earned a 6 out of 10. The High Strength was also in line with what I expected, so it earned a 7, which brings the overall total to 7.5 out of 10.
Final conclusion: It was a great strain that tasted amazing! I would buy again.

Hello fellow gardeners! My name is Jaye and I'm a cannamom to a beautiful little girl. For about ten years, I’ve been on the search for holistic approaches for pain and mental health management. The cannabis stigma blinded me, like many other moms, women, and people. However, I knew I needed a more holistic approach for day-to-day management. So I dove into research and started my cannabis and gardening journey. Today I can run after my kid, be in a better mood, and get through the day being my best self. Now I'm on a mission to help other moms and women improve their wellbeing through cannabis, mindfulness, and other holistic approaches.
