Purple Runtz Cannabis Strain Review
Purple Runtz is a balanced hybrid that blends candy-sweet flavor with a blissed-out, floaty high that hits both the head and body in all the right ways. Bred from legendary dessert strains Zkittlez and Gelato #33, this cultivar delivers bright, mood-lifting effects at first, then eases into a tingly, deeply relaxed body calm without instantly knocking you out.
At Kush Era, Purple Runtz is available as a cannabis gift with qualifying delivery orders in Washington DC, making it an easy pick when you want something tasty, euphoric, and pleasantly mellow. Let’s get into our Purple Runtz cannabis strain review.
Strain Details
- Type: Hybrid (50% Indica / 50% Sativa). Expect a balanced experience that starts in the head with uplift and gradually melts into a relaxed, body-focused calm.
- THC Percentage: 17% to 19%. A comfortably potent range that feels euphoric and satisfying without being overwhelming for most regular smokers.
- Genetics: Zkittlez × Gelato #33. A dessert-style cross that combines fruity candy terps with creamy, relaxing hybrid effects.

Aroma & Flavor
Purple Runtz comes with the kind of candy-shop aroma that stops you mid-roll. Open the bag and you are hit with sweet grape candy and tropical fruit, like a handful of mixed gummies and tart berry chews. Underneath the sweetness, there are sour citrus accents and a faint earthy base that keeps the nose from feeling too artificial.
On the inhale, you get a rush of sugary grape, berry, and tropical fruit notes that taste almost like a fruity candy mix. As you exhale, the flavor deepens into sour citrus and berry with light earthy tones that linger on the tongue. The smoke is typically smooth and flavorful, making Purple Runtz a great choice for people who care as much about taste as they do about the high. If you gravitate toward strains that live in the candy-dessert lane, this one fits right in.
Effects & Experience
Purple Runtz is all about feel-good balance. The high usually kicks in with a bright, mood-lifting head buzz that makes everything feel a little lighter. Stress softens, your mood drifts toward euphoric, and you may feel more talkative or tuned in to music, shows, or conversation. It is an easy-going, happy onset — not too racy, not too sleepy.
As the session continues, that head buzz transitions into a tingly, blissful body feel. Limbs start to feel warm and floaty, tension melts away, and your whole body settles into a deeply relaxed but not immediately sedated state. You can still hold a conversation or finish a movie, but you will definitely notice that loose, unwound feeling setting in. Many smokers describe Purple Runtz as the perfect “in-between” strain — calming and floaty without instantly putting you to sleep, especially at moderate doses. Paired with delivery from Kush Era, it becomes an easy go-to for evenings, chill hangs, or creative downtime in Washington DC.
Lineage & Background
- Zkittlez: A fan-favorite strain known for its rainbow candy terp profile and relaxing, mood-lifting hybrid effects. It brings fruity sweetness, bright flavor, and a mellow, feel-good high to Purple Runtz.
- Gelato #33: A celebrated dessert hybrid prized for its creamy, sweet flavor and balanced, euphoric effects. It adds depth to the flavor and helps shape Purple Runtz’s floaty, relaxing body buzz.
Together, Zkittlez and Gelato #33 create Purple Runtz — a strain that feels like a candy-coated hybrid built for good vibes. It preserves the dessert-style flavor of its parents while offering a balanced, approachable high that fits a wide range of sessions, from after-work chill time to weekend kickbacks in DC.
