About Pineapple Express
A tropical-scented hybrid that became famous through a film before it was widely grown.
Pineapple Express crosses Trainwreck with Hawaiian material for a distinctly fruity aroma over a sativa-leaning effect.
Its fame preceded its availability, which means a great deal of material has carried the name without much connection to the original cross.
