Island Sweet Skunk
Island Sweet Skunk, often shorthanded as ISS, is the Federation Seed Co. Sweet Skunk phenotype that came out of British Columbia in the late 1990s and has stayed a Pacific Northwest favorite ever since. A common daytime pick for adults 21+ when you want something brighter than the modern skunk-leaning hybrid.
Flavor is sweet tropical fruit with the unmistakable skunk underbelly and a faint grapefruit finish. Myrcene leads, limonene fills in. Reliable on California and Oregon shelves, less common but increasingly available on NY menus through 2026.
