Crushers (which might sometimes go by the name Fruits  Cushers) is a balanced hybrid created by Michigan-based growers Compass Genetics. It is a combination of Florida Lemons (which is itself a cross between Florida OG and Lemon Skunk) and an unnamed cross between LSD and Purple Skirt. This background confers an unusual flavor profile and a dynamic, long-lasting high. Crushers THC content has been measured at levels ranging from 15% to 26%

Flowers of Crushers are medium to large in size and adhere in tapered, conical shapes. They have the solid internal indica structure typically seen in mostly indica strains, with broad leaves that curl closely inward. These leaves themselves are a pale shade of seafoam green and are shot through with vibrant orange pistils. Finally, a coating of sticky, cloudy white trichomes covers all visible surfaces of these craggy buds.

Aroma of the Crushers strain

The aroma that wafts up from cured flowers of Crushers may be something of an acquired taste — while consumers may initially detect fruity notes of lemon and berry, a closer inspection can pick up on whiffs of skunk and cheese as well. When these flowers are broken apart or ground up, meanwhile, they may give off more of a tangy, gasoline-like odor. All these clashing scents can combine in a harsh, acrid smoke when Fruit Crushers is combusted in a pipe or a joint. On the exhale, this smoke can taste simultaneously fruity and skunky.

Effects

It’s not long after toking on its funky smoke before users start feeling Crushers effects. At first, the strain can exert head-focused sensations like a constriction around the eyes and temples and some flushing in the cheeks. As they acclimate to these odd tics, consumers are shot into a new orbit of perception. Ideas may seem to take on a new significance or intensity and certain concepts may occupy more attention than they ordinarily might. Similarly, smokers may feel their thoughts careening from one to another in a kind of categorical free association. In social settings, all this mental stimulation can facilitate easy, free-flowing conversation — even among new acquaintances. For those looking to achieve productivity, on the other hand, Fruit Crusher can enable concentration on detailed, complicated tasks.
