Maltese Orange

Maltese Orange Strain Effects

Maltese Orange is a Sativa known for its orange, spicy taste that delivers a potent cocktail of effects. New users should be aware that the cerebral effects of this strain have been called “almost trippy”.

A strong sense of euphoria, which raises the user’s mood and produces a strong fuzzy disconnect from reality, is typical. The happy feeling users experience on this strain may be accompanied by a mild body-numbing effect.

Users should be prepared for a strong attack of the munchies although snacks do not need to be on-hand because of the energy Maltese Orange generates.

This is a great strain for getting out and getting things done as the “trippy-ness” wears off in approximately 20-40 minutes after its onset. As with most Sativa strains, common negative side effects include cottonmouth, dry eyes, anxiety, paranoia and headache.

Maltese Orange Flavor & Aroma

Properly cured, flowers of Maltese Orange emit a sharp citrus tang. Hanging out underneath is a fruity berry scent, possibly passed on from grandparent strain Blueberry.

These flowers have a relative lack of dank or spicy odors, even when ground up or broken open. When burnt in a joint or a pipe, Maltese Orange gives off a smooth and easy smoke. There’s an undeniable aftertaste of orange on the exhale; some smokers also report hints of vanilla hanging out on the palate.

How does it look?

Maltese Orange stands out with large, solid flowers that are almost cylindrical in shape, tapering slightly from base to tip. The densely-packed leaves are a mossy shade of green.

Bright orange pistils stand out vibrantly against the leaves while plenty of translucent white trichomes give the flowers a silvery sheen. This coexistence of orange pistils and white trichomes within these buds seems to suggest that the flowers’ color scheme is more of a reason for this strain’s name than its actual flavor.

Suggested Activities

For a sativa, Maltese Orange offers a relatively slow, creeping high. Several minutes after savoring this bud’s unique taste, smokers will feel a constriction of blood vessels around the eyes and temples. Eventually, smokers also notice an uptick in freely-associative thought. Users are typically still able to converse or to carry on with any complicated analytical or creative tasks in front of them.

As the high wears on, a gradual feeling of physical relaxation creeps in, banishing muscular tension and allowing consumers to breathe more deeply and easily. This combination of mental and physical effects can take the edge off of a long day, eliminating stressors and allowing for some mellow introspective time.

Relaxing but not sleepy, Maltese Orange rarely leads to couchlock. It is also free from the sharp, disorienting comedown from euphoria that may come with some purer sativas. Because of its versatile and even-handed effects, this bud is as enjoyable for a wake-and-bake as it is for a nighttime treat.
