Where The Soap Comes From
Leafly describes The Soap as a cross of Animal Mints and Kush Mints, and credits Seed Junky Genetics and Berner’s Cookies as the breeders. I could not find a second independent source for the lineage or breeder, since AllBud did not have a usable page for it, so treat the details as Leafly’s.
Both parents are listed on our directory as well, Animal Mints and Kush Mints. The name is a nod to the strain’s distinctive soapy, floral smell. Leafly lists Bubble Bath and French Laundry as strains descended from it.
Our earlier post called it a sativa, but both the database listing and the genetics point to a hybrid with an energetic bent rather than a true sativa.
The Soap Effects: What It Feels Like
Leafly reviewers list aroused, focused and energetic as the top effects, with euphoric, relaxed and creative also mentioned. That is a head-forward profile, bright and alert, with only a mild body effect.
Because the THC reports vary widely, from 19% in the description to 27% in some reviews, dose carefully. Leafly’s negative effects list includes anxiety and paranoia, which can show up with strong, uplifting strains.
The Soap Terpenes, Aroma and Flavor
The Soap lives up to its name. Leafly flavors include rose, mint and tea, and reviewers describe a floral, soapy character mixed with sour diesel or skunk. The description adds mint, pine and cheese.
Caryophyllene leads the terpene list, followed by limonene and linalool. Linalool is a floral terpene, which fits the rose and soap impression.
- Beta-caryophyllene: peppery and spicy, also found in black pepper and cloves
- Limonene: bright citrus, also found in lemon and orange peel
- Linalool: floral and lavender-like
Terpene levels vary from grower to grower and batch to batch, so check the lab label on the package. Learn more in our guide to cannabis terpenes.
Side Effects and How to Use The Soap
Dry mouth, dry eyes, anxiety and paranoia are the most commonly reported negatives. If you are prone to anxiety with strong THC, start with a small amount and choose a lower-potency batch.
If you are new to The Soap, start with one small inhalation or 2.5 mg in an edible and wait before taking more; see our dosing guide.
Do People Use The Soap for Medical Reasons?
Leafly readers most often say they use The Soap for anxiety, depression and stress. That is user-reported, not a medical finding, and the strain’s energetic reputation may not suit everyone with anxiety.
These are user reports, not clinical findings. For what research actually supports, see our cannabis health and research section, and talk to your doctor before using cannabis for a health condition.
