0:55
I'm your host April Pride a cannabis
0:58
plants color and the laying for the
1:00
plant itself green is from chlorophyll
1:04
also found in lettuce and other
1:05
vegetables similar to chlorophyll is
1:08
anthocyanin which is the substance that
1:11
makes weed plants turn Shades from red
1:15
to purple to Blue follow along as we
1:18
follow the Cannabis rainbow of cultivars
1:20
or strains with colors in their name but
1:25
before finding your pot of gold and a
1:27
double rainbow of course say hey to your
1:30
high guides for this
1:32
episode my name is low and I'm the
1:35
founder and CEO of Halo cannabis so I
1:38
actually usually take dry hits a hit off
1:41
a joint before I even light it or I'll
1:43
take a vape hit before I put it in the
1:45
in the device um Mario Guzman AKA
1:49
shabinsky I was like you know what she's
1:51
a woman she's in the industry um I
1:55
respect her Sher horn I'm on city
1:58
council here in lagona woods I'm also a
2:00
senior assembly woman with the
2:02
California senior legislature Anto Gomez
2:05
the founder and CEO of pleasure Peaks
2:07
and me being like a very pleasure
2:10
curious person like I need to be
2:13
creative me too Anette which is why and
2:17
how episodes like this one come to be
2:19
because when you see the world in
2:21
rainbows I'd recommend rainbow cush for
2:24
smiles and tons of laughing yep there is
2:26
a giggly pot it has a mild body high
2:29
focused mind low THC for daytime use and
2:33
it helps to treat anxiety stress and
2:36
depression because Kush strains are
2:40
really really good at just that warm
2:43
body sensation and um that ultimate like
2:47
just lift off your shoulders Kush
2:49
genetics have often been touted as pain
2:53
healers or help with um just general
2:56
relaxation Kush drains derive their name
2:59
from the the Hindu Kush mountains in
3:00
Afghanistan where growing conditions the
3:03
terar influence the structure and
3:05
chemistry of indicia plants
3:08
characterized by dense nugs and a sweet
3:10
lemon Piney Aroma kushins typically
3:13
offer a welcome and warm body Buzz with
3:16
an exceptional dose of
3:19
euphoria you will get real high is what
3:22
that means so high in fact you can
3:25
decide that the first color in the
3:27
rainbow starts with pink pink panes is
3:30
is again you know it's um it's more on
3:33
the it's a few Generations back um and
3:36
it and pink panties is it leans more on
3:38
the sativa side with pink panties a lot
3:41
of people that are heavy smokers that's
3:43
not their favorite strain but for women
3:47
it has that sativa feeling it has less
3:51
of the Inda I guess I do like the sativa
3:54
better than the Indica because I like
3:56
the creative uh and the giggly
4:00
Stu one hit off a joint and you're like
4:03
cool a good batch of of pink panties it
4:05
gives you just this feeling that
4:07
everything is all good so why the name
4:10
pink panties it's a female plant it's a
4:13
lady and so and also it had pink hairs
4:17
when it was first coming out so I
4:19
thought oh wow like the pink is very
4:21
special and it's a female so at first
4:25
amongst our small little group we called
4:26
it pink [ __ ] and then my friend um
4:29
shout out Maya Maya said hey I don't
4:32
like the sound of that I don't think
4:33
women are going to want to smoke pink
4:35
[ __ ] well how about pink panties shout
4:37
out to Maya indeed and that's Maya of
4:40
legendary om Edibles and co-creator of
4:42
Whoopi and Maya this is the woman shiny
4:45
was giving props to in his intro I just
4:47
wanted to make sure that you knew off
4:49
the bat he was a good guy despite the
4:50
unfortunate original strain name this is
4:53
a great example of what's behind a
4:55
strain name well how about pink panties
4:58
I wear pink panties let me smoke that so
5:01
what happens when you take Kush genetics
5:04
and mix it with pink there's nothing
5:07
better than pink Kush as a Canadian one
5:11
of our best well-known World known
5:14
really um cultivar is pink hush it's if
5:17
you ask any Canadian they're like this
5:19
is the greatest drain the US absolutely
5:22
knows nothing about it I was dating an
5:25
American he's just like what's pink hush
5:27
is it actually
5:28
pink in acidic environments cannabis
5:31
turns pinkish or red the varying petal
5:33
colors of hydrangea best demonstrate the
5:36
color changes when genetics and
5:37
environment interact so how does all
5:40
this pink green make us feel I feel that
5:44
pink Kush is such a loving energetic
5:48
strain that makes you just feel
5:51
encapsulated it kind of brings you out
5:54
of your body you're no longer like in
5:56
your stress you're no longer about your
5:57
worries that is so far beyond gone it's
6:00
not getting them too high it's making
6:03
them feel good and you know next time
6:05
they're going to say hey uh let's let's
6:07
you know Saturday night how about we do
6:08
that pink panties again that was great
6:10
if pink is for Netflix and chill type of
6:13
Saturday nights it must be because
6:14
Friday was a seeing red kind of night
6:18
which is exactly what happened to me
6:21
because I like to get high and red
6:23
congales is just a euphoric ey it just
6:27
that one scrambles your brain a little
6:28
bit too red congales I had to sample it
6:31
before I got on a flight and if I choose
6:35
to consume before I have to do something
6:36
I like set alarms for myself and I'm
6:39
make sure that I do what I'm supposed to
6:41
do this definitely was what I had to do
6:43
to make sure I didn't miss my flight
6:46
like I'm on mushrooms Tangi just gives
6:48
me that mushroom feeling Tangi is a
6:50
cross of California Orange remember the
6:53
balanced classic cultivar we discussed
6:54
in the fruit name episode and a skunk
6:59
known for skunk-like Aroma skunk strain
7:01
varieties or cultivars provide a
7:04
balanced and uplifting psychoactive
7:07
effect and full body buzz it makes me
7:09
melt into my body it makes me just
7:12
really let go of all of my worries I
7:15
generally think of the skunk variety
7:19
as being more like
7:24
earthy skunk smelling okay when you say
7:28
it smell smells skunky you said it
7:31
smells earthy like earthy musky and you
7:35
know what comes from the earth and
7:37
rainbows gold a little ounce of aapco
7:41
gold was pretty good the strain is
7:43
called aapco gold and I do have to say
7:46
that it just it felt so clear and uh I
7:50
felt really calm really grounded and it
7:53
was a a really terrific experience aapa
7:55
gold is a land race strain all modern
7:58
cannabis genetic deriv from Land race
8:01
strains think of these as ancestral
8:03
strains these are strains that come from
8:05
throughout the world Jamaica India
8:08
Africa Mexico Pakistan Afghanistan and
8:10
Central America what makes them
8:12
different low THC higher in CBD more
8:17
therapeutic and less intoxicating in the
8:20
20th century nearly all of the CBD was
8:22
brought out while simultaneously levels
8:24
of THC the stuff that gets you high
8:27
increased wildly like from % to
8:30
26% is it's like smoking sunshine it's
8:35
like green crack perfect to use in the
8:37
daylight hours because it keeps you
8:39
energized me being such a lazy body you
8:42
couldn't even get me to work out most
8:44
days but when I smoke cream crack it
8:47
really gets me all the energy I need
8:51
break a sweat sometimes girls don't
8:53
sweat the small stuff like you know
8:55
bothering to better the genetics of a
8:57
plant instead they take winning DNA
9:00
and give it a named match blue dream and
9:03
Snoop dream are the same some genius was
9:06
just like what I think you know
9:09
sometimes Snoop said blue dream was his
9:10
favorite or something and so he was like
9:12
let's put Snoop dream together and
9:14
semantics clearly but what about when a
9:17
strain like blue dream also known as
9:19
America's favorite strain keeps its name
9:22
but the high is somehow different the
9:24
Blue Dream from one grow may look smell
9:27
and make you feel different than a blue
9:28
dream from another grow like state to
9:31
state or whether the plant is grown
9:33
indoor versus outdoor where and how the
9:36
Cannabis is grown will actually have a
9:38
pretty big effect on how you feel when
9:40
you consume it and another one that was
9:42
a lot like that was lilac diamonds which
9:44
I picked up in Oregon on a road trip
9:47
it's like if OG Kush and headband had a
9:51
baby everything just
9:54
feels easy the only thing standing
9:57
between you and a good time is the not
9:59
so simple Act of dropping your shoulders
10:01
and that pesky to-do list inter purple
10:04
Arrow one of the best strains for
10:06
tackling pain and how do strains
10:09
confront pain they turn purple it may be
10:12
a kind of antifreeze protecting plants
10:14
from cooler climates again the purple
10:16
coloration is from the presence of
10:18
anthos sinin a group of around 400 water
10:21
soluble pigments belonging to the
10:23
category flavonoids after cannabinoids
10:26
like THC and CBD and tpes like limine
10:28
immersing which we discussed in the
10:30
fruit strain episode flavonoids are one
10:33
of the three most important components
10:36
of cannabis chab bars and purple or per
10:39
is the most important component to many
10:42
a strain name granddaddy per I mean it's
10:45
just it's a good one and you can usually
10:47
find it in every state in fact it's very
10:50
popular here on the West Coast I
10:52
recommend it for nighttime use and if if
10:56
strains were defined granddaddy per
10:58
would probably be translated to
11:00
couchlock mindfree You're Just in this
11:04
positive loving energy with this high
11:07
this is one of the strains that I didn't
11:10
fall in love with it fell in love with
11:12
me
11:13
okay super silver haze hay strains offer
11:18
a deep sense of relaxation that follows
11:21
the intense cerebral high it's like that
11:24
MDMA no coincidence that when I chose
11:27
Vander Pop's party strain I chose super
11:30
silver haze from Bondi Farms here in
11:32
Washington and yes the tricomes on the
11:34
bud give the strain a silver Hue from
11:38
which it takes its name
