Cat Piss — Shrubz Cannabis Strain Review

I recently tried Cat Piss by Shrubz, a local, woman-owned micro-grow, and the flower immediately stood out. The buds were reddish, hairy, extremely trichome-dense, and noticeably frosty, giving them a really attractive, resin-heavy appearance.

It’s aroma was pretty interesting. I picked up a strong lemon-lime soda / Sprite-like smell, followed by just a slight hint of that funky, ammonia-like “cat piss” aroma the strain is known for. I smoked it in a joint, and the flavor changed quite a bit from the nose. There was a little citrus zest up front, but the smoke was predominantly woody and peppery.

The effects were very uplifting and energetic. I felt extremely motivated, alert, and ready to get things done. I’m typically an indica person, so the strong sativa-style rush was actually a little intense for me—but someone looking for an energetic daytime experience may appreciate that quality.

The terpene profile is also interesting. It’s high in beta-myrcene, a terpene common for its potentially relaxing and analgesic properties. It also contains alpha-pinene (beta-pinene more indica effects), which is often associated with a fresh pine aroma and a more alert and wired experience. This strain also includes a slight bit of CBG, providing you with the surge of motivation needed to bang out some tasks on that to-do list! 

Cat Piss from Shrubz delivered gorgeous frosty flower, a funky citrus-forward nose, woody-peppery smoke, and a seriously energetic experience. For me, it was almost too stimulating—but if motivation and an upbeat daytime effect are what you’re after, this one definitely made an impression. Blaze up, it’s 4:20 somewhere.
