Pineapple Express became a household name after the 2008 Seth Rogen movie, but the strain itself is a genuinely excellent sativa-dominant hybrid that predates the film. A cross between Trainwreck and Hawaiian, Pineapple Express delivers a long-lasting energetic buzz with tropical fruit flavors that taste like a vacation. At Quality Control Dispensary in Brooklyn and Staten Island, Pineapple Express appears regularly on our menu and remains a top pick for daytime consumers who want functional, happy energy.

The tropical pineapple and mango flavors make every session feel like a mini-escape.
