The flowers of this strain are a bright neon green with orange hair-like pistils, coated in a pretty layer of translucent golden amber trichomes, a suitable appearance for its delectable flavour. While you can of course assume that the predominant flavour of Orange Poison Franchise Genetics is of fruity orange, it does get more complex than that. The aroma is actually a bit dank, and there are undertones of earthiness and spices. However, upon smoking and exhaling, you would taste the sweetness and tanginess of citrus and oranges, as well as a bit of wood–similar to pine–with a hint of fresh herbs. A delectable medley that is refreshing and sweet!
