Orange soda strain makes poo smell like stanky citrus
You'll say, 'This ain't right.' But you'll love it.

Even my poop smelled like oranges after smoking Orange Soda Pop weed strain.
I bought a quarter of the cannabis for $36 at Xclusive Cannabis on Smith Road in Denver. It has a delightful orange pop taste, much like Sunkist. It lingers on your tongue when you exhale and gives you a wonderful, euphoric high.
According to Leafly, Orange Soda is a cross between Grandma’s Sugar Cookies and Tangie, both yummy strains. I find the Orange Soda cannabis to be dreamy-delicious, some of the best pot I’ve had in a long time. According to Leafly Orange Soda leans sativa, and I have to agree. Instead of feeling stoned, you feel a calm rush of Euphoria. You know the feeling when you’ve experienced it.
What shocked me most about the weed is what it did to my poop. It smelled like skunky oranges after I had consumed an eighth of the product in about five hours’ time. I don’t think I’ve ever noticed my poop smelling like weed even though I am a regular smoker.
According to UbieHealth.com, “Poop that smells like weed may be related to how certain plant chemicals, like those in cannabis, change the way your gut works.” The aromatic compounds of the plant, the terpenes, vary by strain on how they might make your poop smell. The dominant terpene in Orange Soda is myrcene, my favorite.
According to Leafly, Myrcene is the most likely cannabis terpene to be dominant in flower. “A strain’s “dominant” terpene is simply the terpene present at the highest level. In modern commercial cannabis, only a limited number of terpenes show up as dominant even though there are many more cannabis terpenes in a strain’s overall profile.”
Strain leaves its signature
What nobody tells you about citrus heavy strains like Orange Soda is that the experience doesn’t end when the high fades. The terpenes linger, hitchhiking through your bloodstream like tiny aromatic stowaways, determined to leave their signature on every exit ramp of your metabolism. And honestly, there’s something almost poetic about that — the idea that a plant can leave a calling card in your gut long after the bowl is cashed.
Because once you start thinking about it, the whole digestive system is basically a terpene remix studio. You inhale or ingest these bright, candy shop molecules — limonene, valencene, terpinolene — and your body does what bodies do: It breaks them down, repackages them, and sends them on their way. Some get burned for energy. Some get exhaled. Some get sweated out during a late night fridge raid. And some, apparently, decide to express themselves through your lower intestine like they’re auditioning for a citrus funk opera.
It’s wild how we pretend weed is this clean, isolated experience — smoke, vibe, snack, sleep — when in reality it’s a full body collaboration. A biochemical handshake between plant and person. Orange Soda doesn’t just make your room smell like a tangerine got mugged in an alley; it infiltrates the microbiome, nudges the bacteria, whispers something zesty to the enzymes, and suddenly your next bathroom trip smells like a Florida grove after a thunderstorm. Not rotten. Not sickly. Just… aggressively citrus with a hint of “why is this happening.”
Sensory takeover
And maybe that’s the real story: cannabis isn’t just psychoactive. It’s aromatic in ways we don’t talk about. It’s a sensory takeover. A full spectrum experience that doesn’t care about polite boundaries. Orange Soda doesn’t just get you high — it follows you into the most private corners of your biology and leaves a little neon orange graffiti on the wall.
