You’re running low on time. The cool moms of America deserve some fine, trendy, fragrant weed for Mother’s Day and Memorial Day campouts. They’ve earned some Pink Runtz.
Why? It’s a battle out there. Moms need something pretty, fragrant, and relaxing that lightens the mood. Bring on that strawberry, sweet, grapefruit taste. Cue the giggly, talkative, happy effects—Pink Runtz wins our Leafly HighLight strain for May, Mother’s Day, Memorial Day, and beyond.
Around since at least 2020, Pink Runtz scores an average 4.6 out of 5 points after 334 ratings.
It’s got the high THC that moms need after unloading all those freakin’ groceries all by herself again, good God.
“The very first hit had the knot in my shoulder unwinding,” says one review.
One in four Pink Runtz smokers is hitting it for tension, mood, and life’s doo-doo.
“I’ve never been so happy and smiling while unclogging a toilet,” said another reviewer.
“My 13-year-old kid clogged the toilet. Here I am smiling, happy as a lark while I plunge this toilet with a rubber plunger. Probably in my top 5 all-time favorites.”
Pink Runtz packs flavor and a punch. So drink some water first, stay seated, and put your phone on airplane mode. It’s a relative of Leafly Strain of the Year 2020, Runtz.
“The smell is like a fruity pebbles almost. Crazy smell,” said one reviewer.
“Euphoric antidepressant. Great for social connection, being present, and open. Instant happiness,” said another.

Other highlights this May
Can’t buy our HighLight? Don’t cry, dry your eyes—with three related or seasonal picks.
Pink Zaza
Impress the most picky weed snob mom at the campout with this jar of fuego. Pink Runtz keeps evolving with Pink Zaza, popularized by high-end indoor flower growers SOG Army in California. It’s Georgie Pie x Pink Runtz for dessert-on-candy terps.
Pink Guava
One of the stand-out strains from 4/20 in San Francisco—the flawless Pink Guava from Sense Cannabis. Allegedly some Nepali Pink x Guava, it smells, tastes and feels like a refined variety of Guava Gelato. A little candy. A little dessert. The fuel notes add to the loudness. Again, if she already loves Runtz and Gelato, this conjures her best memory of it.
Pink Boost Goddess
Keep the pink theme going for your goddess with this highly regarded sativa hybrid. Pink Boost Goddess—the award-winning heirloom strain from Northern California—turns super-pink in flower. It’s got a mellow, energetic, focused effect that works with yoga, hiking, cooking, and even chores. Scoop up perfectly cured, super-affordable jars of 2023 full-sun sativa hybrids during this peak season. Smoke sungrown in the sun, family.
