About These Strains

Colombian Gold

Sativa 25/75 — THC 17–21%

Colombian Gold is some seriously old-school marijuana. A close relative of the even more famous Acapulco Gold, this strain was born in the Santa Marta mountains of Colombia and exploded across the United States in the 1960s.

Its popularity has since faded dramatically, but it remains an effective tool for treating muscle spasms and chronic pain.

Dream Queen

Sativa 30/70 — THC 19–22%

Dream Queen is the potent and popular progeny of two legendary strains, Blue Dream and Space Queen. It's a sativa-dominant hybrid with a sativa/indica ratio of between 70:30 and meaning a creative, euphoric, happy head high driven by THC levels that can exceed 19% in some tests.

This strain has a fairly high CBD content, roughly 0.5%, but that's not high enough to recommend it as a front-line form of treatment for seizure disorders or other conditions that respond to CBD preparations.
