Where The Night Shade Strain Actually Comes From It isn’t everyday I get to walk into a medical marijuana dispensary and get offered a smell from a jar filled to the top with fresh buds this purple. Developed by Barney’s Farm, the genetics of Night Shade are believed to be linked to a mix between the India (Indica) and Nepali (Sativa) strains. I have to say, the name Night Shade is very appropriate for this marijuana strain; not only is each bud a vibrant shade of purple (just like the Night Shade flower), but also the effects …

Atomic Northern Lights has a history that stems all the way back to the early 80’s. It all started when some Afghani seeds landed in the northwest of the United States and were mixed with some Thai Haze. This strain was stabilized indoors by Sensi Seeds and became what we know today as Northern Lights. This strain went untouched and went on to win three Cannabis Cups in its tour in Europe before a man who went by the name Dr. Atomic, got his hands on it and decided to make …

Flint OG Is An Extremely Deceiving Cannabis Strain This phenotype of OG Kush smells/looks like an Indica, tastes like a Sativa, and hits like a Hybrid strain. Insane. Although the genetics are unknown, I think it is safe to assume that Flint OG may have originated in the town of Flint, Michigan. However, I have a few friends that went to college in Michigan and they informed me that they used to call low quality weed “Flint” or “Flint Town Brown”. Either way, we were particularly intrigued …

At first, I assumed that most OG strains were very similar, with only tiny genetic differences separating each of them. However, I have done a complete 180° in the past few months. After experiencing delicacies like this Phantom OG from Freedom Farmers, I have begun to realize that OG strains are far more complex than I had first assumed. It is obvious to me now, that each OG phenotype is unique and should be treated as such. It would simply be incorrect to group all the OG strains out …

The Sour Tsunami strain boasts high CBD percentages. Developed by Lawrence Ringo of the Southern Humboldt Seed Collective, Sour Tsunami was bred by crossing Sour Diesel with NYC Diesel for about four years, where it was continually crossed back to a Sour Diesel clone. “Sour Tsunami is considered to be 60% Sativa and 40% Indica, with a sweet yet musky stench, typical of most CBD-rich strains.” This was known as Double Diesel, and eventually was crossed with a local’s Sativa-dominant strain known as …

Here is something you may have not have come across yet, especially if you are outside of a marijuana-friendly state. You would be correct to expect something more than your typical gram of top-shelf cannabis, with a donation ranging from $30-$60/gram. Rightly so, this Cherry AK Super Bud is first dipped into hemp oil, and then rolled in kief. “The bud… the hemp oil… and the kief, each stem from the same Cherry AK strain.” For those who don’t know, …

The Poisonberry strain has a lineage that can be linked to the mixture of Durban Poison (Sativa) and Blueberry (Indica). As always, it is important to take the time to look up the genetics of the plant you are about to medicate with to better prepare yourself, as well as make an educated donation when you are looking to ‘re-up.’ For starters, the Durban Poison strain is considered to be pure Sativa, meaning it has never been hybridized and will mainly affect your mind. On the other hand, Poisonberry also contains the …

The Candy Kush strain originates from one of the most popular strains of the year, known as Blue Dream. Its genetics also contain one of the most popular strains of all time, infamously known as OG Kush. Combine these two potent cannabis strains together, and you get a Indica-dominant Hybrid known as Candy Kush. The aroma is subtle, sweet, and sugary. The smell tends to be much more reminiscent of the Blue Dream strain than that of OG Kush. However, each bud was popcorn shaped …

LA Haze Strain: Bred By Gage Green Genetics Genetically stemming from the mixture of (LA Confidential x Kali Mist) and Afghan Haze F2, patients can expect a very ‘Sativa-like’ experience when medicating with LA Haze. This is because LA Haze is in fact, a Sativa-dominant Hybrid cannabis strain. As such, the effects of LA Haze are known to be very cerebral, euphoric and energizing. This upbeat head-high gives patients a natural remedy for treating chronic …

The Ghost Rider strain stems from the combination of Bull Rider (Sativa-dominant Hybrid) and Ghost OG (Indica-dominant Hybrid). According to recent lab-test results, the Ghost Rider strain came back with very unique and impressive numbers that are noticeably high in CBD content — sure to make this a popular “go-to” strain for patients suffering from a wide range of ailments. The Bull Rider strain in the genetics of Ghost Rider originates from San Diego and is considered to be a Sativa-dominant Hybrid. Additionally, it has been combined with Ghost OG, which …
