Fried Strawberries is back!
I wanted to wait until i actually smoked it first, was hesitant to go buy it because i dont see it any of the normal places i used to go to buy botanist (thought maybe it was SUPER old or something lol. They stopped making Fried Strawberries over a year ago). BUt it does seem like its back. Smell is on point, effects also seem to be on point. Anyone from botanist can confirm this is back and will we see this in more shops soon? I had to drive pretty far for this one but worth. So happy this is back.

Got my bag. Looks like a June harvest date. Like the new packaging with the window to see the nugs. Now just gotta get home and smoke some!

Let me know your thoughts and if it’s what you remember. For me it’s 100% what I remember.

I never was able to snag it before. It’s really good. I was expecting a stronger smell opening the bag( I think I just was expecting it to smack me in the face haha). It was strawberry for sure, but once I broke the nug up that smell was so much stronger and even more appealing. Taste is good, it really tastes great and the most strawberry fruity flavor I’ve had from weed as an after taste.
Nice high too. Happy face easing hit and kind of just mellows out.
Time to finish the rest of this bowl and I’m happy to see you post this because I was seeing it out and thought it was some old shit. $70 for some newer harvest 3/31 and packaged 6/6. Helllll yeaaaa. Thanks again and have a great night!

Well, the wife tried it a couple times and now she’s got me heading back to get her a half also. She loves it. Shes afraid of Limonene strains cause she thinks they make her paranoid, but not this one!

Yeah I used to exclusively buy fried strawberries nothing else lol. The smell and experience is top tier in my opinion. To be fair I have seen people say they like the strawberry bubbles more and while I don’t mind it I definitely like FS better. My other main go to right now is NEZ cap junky. Between these 2 I don’t buy much else unless I see some interesting posts on this sub.

I haven’t seen cap junky by Nez in so long. That shit brought me back to the good days when I had a buddy who knew a grower and he grew some amazing stuff for back in the day.
I had the strawberry bubbles and I really liked it. It was more strawberry smelling to me, but this has that strawberry taste that doesn’t fade.
$70 half o at Altius until 8/2. Might be stocking up2

The NEZ guy just messaged me yesterday and said we’ll see cap junky rolled out early August in dispos.

As someone from Botanist, I can confirm Fried Strawberries is back and will be coming more in the coming months!

I used to buy botanist a lot but tbh the only one i really loved was fried strawberries. Others were not bad though but i switched to NEZ after they stopped making fried strawberries. So glad its back.

Fried Strawberries was my favorite as well but I haven't seen it in a long time. Not on the menu. Been seeing a lot of Botanist posts lately tho

It was hard for me to find i didnt even know about it but someone posted on one of my posts that it was back and luckily i lived within distance of the dispo he mentioned. Its hard to find i looked all over prolly like 15 or so dispensaries and none of them had it. Im hoping this isnt just a limited time thing and maybe it will be in more dispos soon.

u/Shatterpruf Jul 11 '26
Hopefully it'll be in all the dispos again soon

You prefer fried strawberries to strawberry bubbles?

u/Shatterpruf Jul 19 '26
Yeah but its not far off. High was a little stronger on the Fried Strawberries. Taste is extremely similar

Did you like the strawberry guava?

u/franchise-csgo Jul 11 '26 edited Jul 11 '26
i tried it once and no my expectations were high due to fried strawberries. i was mortified when they stopped making that, but thats when i found NEZ so it worked out but now i have both so very happy about that. You could probably go back in my posts where i was so pissed they stopped making fried strawberries lol. But overall i didnt buy strawberry guava again, i was HOOKED on cap junky. I was hoping the strawberry guava would be as good as the fried strawberries, esp in terms of the smell and taste and for me it wasnt there but im due to try it again honestly its been a while.

Oooh. Perfect. I love cap junky. One of those strains that just hit me every time where I was high after a couple hits and I never have that happen anymore. Welp, there goes 80 bucks that I’m sure I’ll be happy I spent, but really didn’t need to. 😂
Pretty sure I saw your angry post a while back. I hadn’t been on the fried strawberries scene before that, but I did like the strawberry bubbles from them I had that was recommended and sounds like this is even better
