The Original Z (popularly known as "Zkittlez", aka "Skittles," "Skittlz," and "Island Skittles") is an indica hybrid marijuana strain bred from a reported mix of Grape Ape and Grapefruit that is crossed with another undisclosed strain. This sweet, tropical confection-flavored cultivar came to market from the group Terp Hogz of Northern California in the 2010s. In 2023, Terp Hogz announced the use of the name "The Original Z," as part of a settlement with a candy company over alleged trademark infringement. The Original Z won 1st Place at the 2016 Emerald Cup, the 2023 King of Z Hill, and has placed in several Cannabis Cups in San Francisco and Michigan. This strain features chunky colas that explode in a spectrum of light-green hues and emit a sweet, tropical blend of fruit flavors. The effects of The Original Z are calming, leaving consumers focused, alert, and happy while relaxing the body to help unwind any time of day.
