High Rise

Meet High Rise

High Rise is a 60% sativa / 40% indica hybrid bred by Connected Cannabis Co., engineered specifically for daytime motivation without sacrificing a smooth, balanced comedown. Since its debut in the 2010s (created in 2019), it has become a go-to daytime flower for consumers who want energy, clarity, and a touch of euphoria all in one jar.

🧬 Genetic Heritage & Lineage

High Rise's genetics read like a cannabis breeder's dream team. It's a cross of the legendary Granddaddy Purple (GDP) with Tom Hill Haze, further stabilized with Lemon Tree #15. GDP contributes deep-rooted indica structure and its signature grape-forward aromatics, while Tom Hill Haze injects sativa-leaning vigor and cerebral lift. Lemon Tree #15 rounds things out with bright citrus zest and terpene complexity. The result is a Type II chemovar — THC-dominant but genetically diverse enough to express a wide effects range, from creative to clear-headed to relaxed.

👃 Terpene Profile & Aromatics

High Rise is anchored by Limonene as its dominant terpene, giving the flower a bright, zesty citrus backbone. Supporting players include Myrcene (earthy, grounding), Caryophyllene (peppery, spicy depth), Linalool (soft floral sweetness), Ocimene (herbal brightness), and Alpha-Pinene (sharp, forest-like clarity). With a total terpene content around 3.72%, this is a fragrant, expressive flower. Cracking open a jar, you'll first notice sweet citrus and grape-like sweetness, followed by earthy, pungent undertones, with subtle floral and spicy accents rounding out the profile.

👅 Flavor Experience

The flavor journey mirrors the aroma closely. On the inhale, expect citrus and berry notes up front, transitioning into a sweet, fruity mid-palate. As the smoke lingers, herbal, pine, and vanilla nuances emerge, finishing with a soft earthy exhale. It's a layered, evolving taste experience that keeps each session interesting from first hit to last.

🎯 Effects & Experience

High Rise effects lean bright and functional. Expect energetic, uplifted, and clear-headed sensations early on, often accompanied by a creative and focused headspace. As the session progresses, a gentle relaxed, balanced, and happy undertone settles in — enough to soften edges without dragging you toward the couch. This is a strain built for staying engaged, not checked out.

🎮 Use Cases & Activities

You'll find High Rise excels for creative work, focus-intensive tasks, social engagement, and general daytime activities. Whether you're tackling a project, meeting friends, or just want to feel motivated and present, this strain's balanced sativa-forward profile supports sustained clarity.

💚 Medical & Therapeutic Potential

Many consumers reach for High Rise to help manage anxiety and stress, thanks to the calming influence of Linalool paired with uplifting Limonene. The Caryophyllene content may also support pain management for those dealing with general physical discomfort — all without heavy sedation.

👁️ Visual Characteristics

High Rise buds typically show deep forest green coloring with hints of purple undertones inherited from its GDP lineage, wrapped in a frosty, high-density trichome coating. Fiery orange pistils weave through dense, resinous flower structure, making for an eye-catching, sticky-to-the-touch bud.

🏆 Awards & Recognition

The High Rise brand has picked up multiple accolades, including recognitions as a Best Wellness Product across 2023–2025 and Gold and Silver Medals at the High Spirits Awards, reflecting strong consumer and industry reception.

⚠️ Consumer Considerations

With THC ranging from 17% to 35%, High Rise can pack a punch — newer consumers should start low. Expect typical mild side effects like dry mouth and dry eyes. This is a strain best suited for consumers seeking an active, clear-headed daytime experience rather than deep sedation.
