ABOUT THE BRANDS:
ROYAL HUMBOLDT
Royal Humboldt encompasses cannabis hand-crafted in Humboldt County, California. The area is densely forested, mountainous and rural, with about 110 miles of coastline. Humboldt County is known for its cultural attributes associated with the cultivation and proliferation of cannabis. David Samuels of The New Yorker describes the county as "the heartland of high-grade marijuana farming in California." During the1970s and 1980s, Humboldt County saw a large migration of the Bay Area counter-culture to its region. Many came looking to purchase cheap land, and ended up growing marijuana to finance their land ownership. The rural culture and hippie scene eventually collaborated to create a “rural hippie community” in which marijuana became the center of the economy. The Royal Humboldt brand represents the highest quality product resulting from this unique economy and passionate community. More info here.
MENDOCANN
Mendocann is a class of cannabis strains all cultivated within Mendocino County, California. This appellation is known for the Pacific Ocean coastline, redwood forests, wine production, microbrew, liberal views and cannabis, of course! The notable historic and recreational attraction of the "Skunk Train" connects Fort Bragg with Willits in Mendocino County via a steam-locomotive engine. The ideal climate and geology of the area make Mendocino county recognized as a premier cannabis growing region. More info here.
KRONIC KUSH
Kush refers to a subset of strains of Cannabis Indica, and all of its many hybrid decendents. The origins of Kush are landrace plants mainly in Afghanistan, Northern Pakistan, North-Western India and Himalayan Mountain range. The strains were brought to the United States in the mid-to-late 1970s. Long prized for its medicinal properties, this is the bud known for its long-lasting, “couch-lock” effects, intense flavor and skunky and lemon-fuel odors. Kronic Kush is likely to make a name for itself as one of the most sought-after brands in OrganiCann’s repertoire. More info here.
