Exploring the Boston Cannabis Dispensary Experience: More Than Just a Purchase
April 21, 2025Massachusetts is home to more than 400 weed dispensaries, and the state has continued to blaze the way in cannabis offerings and the hobbyist community....
Most weed enthusiasts associate popular cannabis strains with big names, such as Blue Dream, Jack Herer, and others. However, focusing on the most famous options causes people to miss out on beloved, albeit less well-known, choices. The Soap is one such choice, and if you have been craving something new, this hybrid weed could be exactly what you’re looking for.
Whether you’ve tried The Soap already and know you’re a big fan or want to see what all the hype is about, be sure to get your cannabis from a dispensary you can trust. That way, you know for sure that you’re getting the true The Soap experience!
Originally bred by Berner’s Cookies and Seed Junky Genetics, The Soap is a hybrid strain with a high level of THC. It was created by crossing two notable varieties of the Mints line: Animal Mints (of Ice House Genetics) and Kush Mints (from Mr. Nice Seeds). It differs from the similarly named line, Zoap, so don’t get confused!
As its name suggests, The Soap is a fresh, crisp strain with some unexpected twists. Due to its double Mint heritage, it features a highly noticeable minty tinge in both taste and aroma, which is often accompanied by earthy pine notes.
However, depending on the plant, some hints of a diesel-like sharp cheese may also accompany the hit, which can take new users by surprise. In general, though, expect something rosy and brightly floral with mint highlights. Some people describe the earthiness less as pine and more like an herbal tea.
Thanks to its blend of flavors, The Soap can be an interesting choice for gummies and candies. It also works very well in infused drinks as long as the bud has less of the cheese flavor.
The Soap is not necessarily a strain for beginners, or at least not in large amounts. At 24% THC, this hybrid doesn’t skimp on the powerful Sativa high nor the deep relaxation of its Indica genetics. Expect a high that hits fairly quickly and has some staying power; don’t take more than a hit at a time to make sure you ease into the experience.
Even after just an introductory puff, expect to start feeling the effects, which typically include a heightened level of arousal and energy. Despite this, the Indica may make your body feel profoundly relaxed, so this is a great strain for staying in and getting things done. Many users report greater focus that helps them accomplish things they’ve put on the back burner, but what you’ll want to focus on depends on the effects you get.
It can be hard to know exactly what to expect from The Soap until you find a dispensary that provides a consistent product you like. The THC content and flavor of this strain can vary, sometimes substantially.
Depending on the producer, the THC may rise to 30% or above, making it suitable only for highly experienced users. Additionally, and especially with the higher-THC plants, the flavor can dip away from the classic mint and more toward a heavy diesel with a challenging, sharp cheese flavor.
That being said, many people heartily recommend The Soap because it’s possible to get the strain without these unwanted attributes and because it’s a great blend of Sativa and Indica properties. If it doesn’t sit right with you, expect a bit of anxiety and dry mouth until your body can process it.
However, taking it slow should prevent most unwanted side effects. In fact, this strain is commonly used for medical marijuana patients, specifically for anxiety and depression, so the dosage matters. Until you know how much THC your dispensary’s The Soap contains, treat it like an edible: low, slow, and with plenty of time to see how you react. This approach will help you get the most out of your experience.
