The Hot Lanta strain gets its name from the famous nickname for Atlanta, Georgia. It was bred from two popular dessert-like strains: Georgia Pie and Pavé. The parent strains give it frosty green buds and a menthol, cream, and "gas" (pungent) smell.
It is a balanced hybrid (meaning it mixes energizing and calming effects) known for its peppery spice and citrus flavors.
