Girl Scout Cookies are out (and not just because the actual Girl Scouts have sent a cease-and-desist). And OG Kush? Not even in the running.
Gorilla Glue No. 4, Jack Herer and Bubba Kush are the most popular marijuana strains among California cannabis consumers who used the popular web-based delivery app Eaze, according to an annual review of user data published by the platform.
Eaze is the self-styled Uber of marijuana. Its not quite worth $70 billion, nor was its CEO forced to resign from Donald Trumps team of economic advisers. But it is a smartphone-hailed delivery platform that will send a sack, an edible or a vape cartridge your way all speedy-like.

*Sales of marijuana floweryou know, budare way down, dipping from 75 percent of all sales to 57 percent;
*But marijuana flower is still king. By far, Eaze sells more flower than anything else, but vaporizers (17 percent) and edibles (11 percent) are slowly growing to compete with flower sales in northern California (where 57 percent of purchases are flower);
*April 20 is the biggest day of the year for cannabis sales (which: yeah), followed by the day before Thanksgiving and then Halloween;
*Hybrids and sativas are the most popular strains, with only two indica-dominant varieties scoring in the top 10of all strains sold;
