We are in a time of great change, prodded on by planetary retrogrades and eclipses. In fact, we are currently feeling the energies of our next eclipse! And, that eclipse is actually a full moon, lunar eclipse-wohoo! So what does that mean? It means we get to see our proverbial shadows and the shadows of those people in our lives. Those shadows are not pretty and yet when a light is shown upon them, those shadows dissipate and we grow in ways we never thought possible.

So, with that grand build up, my weed strain choices were changed to a whole new world, to the world of concentrates-shatter, badder, crumbles, resin and on and on. How I plunged into that whole new realm of cannabis is really a story for another blog. I assure you, it is a whole other Universe of cannabis!

Lest you thought that I didn’t find any flower in my travels this week, I did pick up some “legal” flower at Ramona Cannabis Company, in Ramona California. I was there on business, Pure Ratios’ business that is and I bumped into Claybourne Co, White Buffalo.. Both of which I am well acquainted with!

First, I have consumed White Buffalo before and I remember it well. It is an 80/20 sativa dominant strain and it lives up to its bullish name. It is a cross of a sativa strain, Bay 11 and a pair of indica dominant hybrids ( Romulon x Blackberry Kush). The results of all those fancy genetics is a visually beautiful, fragrant and a kick as sativa like effect.

And, this Claybourne Co White Buffalo did not disappoint. The buds were beautifully shaped with strands of orange, purple and green hairs, which were covered with a nice coating of shiny white trichomes.

It’s aroma was like sage and berries with some pine notes. It’s flavor was sweet-berry, herbs, diesel, plums, and apple-a cornucopia for your taste buds! And, the effects were just as I remembered-instantly uplifting, elevating mind and body. With those indica parents, there is definitely a body component to this strain. So, it lifts your mood up but slowly relaxes your body.

As I eluded to, I also know the folks from Claybourne Co! I had the good fortune of working with them, when they were our licensed distributor. However just as I started this blog off with, things have changed and, they no longer work with me.

However, I wanted to give a shout out to them and a huge, shameless plug for them. The cannabis industry hasn’t evolved enough to have integrity as its buzz word. But Claybourne Co, as people, as an organization and as a cannabis cultivator, are the new standard in my book. Working with them gave me hope for the future of the Southern California cannabis industry.

Finally and perhaps mostly importantly in this weed strain of the week, their cannabis flower exceeded all expectations and rivaled any of the strains that I usually get from my not so licensed shops. If you live in Southern California ask your licensed dispensary to get Claybourne Co and you will become a local hero.

I am always blessed to meet the people I need to meet to learn the lessons that I need to learn. It is miraculous how the Universe always gives me exactly what I need-good weed.

Chill out, be open to change and create your own miracles.
