Exotic, or exotic weed, is a slang term for high-potency cannabis popular with street culture and rap music. It is also known as “zaza.”
“The East Coast considers many Cookies strains to be exotic.”
“I must have been smoking something exotic last night because weed never made me feel like that before.”
What is the difference between cannabis and exotic?
Just as a tiger is exotic in America but not India, the label of exotic cannabis depends on the location and audience. To a newbie, almost anything with a high THC count and colorful trichome crystals will feel exotic. But the term does not traditionally describe familiar favorites like OG Kush, Sour Diesel or Jack Herer.
The name suggests origins in the tropics or Middle East, but for many it is nothing more than a marketing tool used to classify ambiguous but potent strains whose true genealogy is unknown to the dealer.
A supplier offering an exotic strain could have anything from a fruity sativa to a dark purple indica, but the general standard for the name is a top-shelf strain that is both rare for the region and has extremely noticeable effects.
Exotic Cannabis Varieties
Exotic cannabis refers to varieties that are unusual in terms of their aroma. These cultivars are typically held tightly by the breeder and are hard to acquire. Depending on where you live and whom you know, it might be very difficult to come across these rare varieties.
In today’s oversaturated cannabis market, growers, breeders, and users are always looking for the newest and most exclusive varieties. Given their novelty, exotic varieties usually fetch a higher price than more common varieties of cannabis.
Rare cannabis varieties often become popularized in music, movies, and other forms of pop culture. Some examples include Girl Scout Cookies and OG Kush, which have been featured in countless rap songs in recent years.
Exotic cannabis varieties are known for offering above-average bag appeal. These colorful varieties often yield dense buds that display striking shades of purple, red, blue, or black. They also tend to produce more trichomes than other varieties, making them even more appealing to consumers.

Where Do Exotic Cannabis Seeds Come From?
Exotic cannabis seeds have mixed genetic lineages which reflect the name we gave them. Premium Cultivars has spent years sourcing genetics from stable mother plants to bring these exclusive cannabis seeds to the market.
Animal Mintz strain seeds are a brilliant three-way cross between Fire OG x Animal Cookies x Thin Mint Cookies that, when all these genetics are crossed, hold within them many qualities from their parents while also being something wholly different and new entirely.
While London Pound Cake seeds trace their lineage back to Spain, although the name suggests otherwise, stemming from a cross between Girl Scout Cookies and Sunset Sherbert.
The sweet Lemon Cherry Gelato strain was originally bred in the USA but its lineage is more complex. This strain’s parents are GSC and Pink Panties, which are both crosses themselves.
What Are Some Of The Best Exotic Cannabis Seeds?

Yellow Zushi
If you wanna see truly beautiful flowers then Yellow Zushi strain seeds are the way to grow. These amazing seeds grow plants with a striking golden, yellow tint combined with a smattering of purple hairs and hues. Yellow Zushi seeds aren’t the easiest cannabis seeds to grow but the results are more than worth the effort you put in. These exotic seeds are notoriously high yielding. On top of being productive, the quality of the end product is up there with the best in the biz!
Gary Payton
As to be expected of a strain named after a basketball player, Gary Payton strain seeds grow to phenomenal heights. However, Gary Payton will thrive whether grown indoors or outdoors, but just be aware of its tendency to reach for the stars when positioning lights or grow tents. Naturally, outdoors this stretching is no issue, however, you will need to provide some support so the plant doesn’t fall over. Gary Payton flowers are slick and sticky, glistening with trichomes.
Jealousy
This is a strain to be envious of, hence why these are called Jealousy strain seeds – once friends and fellow cultivators see your plants they will for sure want to scoop up a pack of their own. The Jealousy strain is a well-balanced hybrid cross between Gelato 41 and Sherbert B1, both unique strains in their own right which come together to create something even more unique: one of the best cannabis strains in the world.
Pluto
Do we even need to say it? Pluto strain seeds are out of this world! As with its namesake, the Pluto strain is mysterious with its origins virtually unknown and its appearance being on the cosmic side. To maintain the mystique around this strain, we won’t tell you our exact recipe but you can trust us when we say that Pluto seeds are far more than a sum of their individually exceptional parts. One thing isn’t a mystery, however, and that is that Pluto is an amazing strain that is growing in popularity at a rapid rate.
