In honor of everything LBGTQ, a number of brands have released limited edition rainbow-themed products, available at various dispensaries and delivery services. We took a look to find some of the hottest PRIDE products on the market this year.

Kiva Camino - Camino Gummies in “Tropical Punch”


Kiva Camino are a popular go-to for those looking to enjoy strain-specific artisanal cannabis gummies.


What we love about their take on PRIDE: Kiva Camino is a go-to for unique flavors with specified vibes like Sparkling Pear (CBD/THC) for a “social” effect and Pineapple Habanero (Sativa) for an “uplifting” one. For PRIDE, the brand has rolled out a Tropical Punch flavor — the mood this product elicits? “fierce."

PLUS Products - Gummies in “Rainbow Sorbet”


PLUS Products is a leader in the cannabis gummies and mints space with an always-creative flavor palette.


What we love about their take on PRIDE: PLUS is known for innovative flavors (like its Indica Blackberry & Lemon gummies) and flavors that often have a seasonal spin (Holiday Bliss in Cranberry & Shortbread was a sell-out this past holiday season). For June, PLUS has taken its customers' tastebuds to a new level of flavor innovation with limited edition product PRIDE Rainbow Sorbet in a Sativa blend. Beyond flavor and effect, this product actually goes toward social good too. The brand has stated that “for every tin sold, PLUS will donate $1 to the San Francisco LGBT Center.”

Mr. Moxey’s - Mints in “Proud Peppermint”


These self-proclaimed "Delectable & discreet” mints with CBD/THC have been flying off dispensary shelves.


What we love about their take on PRIDE: Mr. Moxey’s mints rank high for flavor, ease of dosage and are sold in a convenient, compact tin. The company has upped its game with its “Proud Peppermint” flavor sold in a unique rainbow packaging. Like PLUS, in addition to quality, the company is doing good with the product too. $1 of each tin sold goes to Washington, Oregon and San Francisco based LGBTQ equality and advocacy groups - that’s something to be proud of.

Different Strains of Weed: How Many Are There?

Sour Diesel. Purple Kush. Amnesia Haze. If you’re a fan of cannabis, you’ve probably noticed that there are many different types to choose from, and most of them have funny names. And yes—they are all different. But, what makes them different, exactly? And how many marijuana strains are there, really? Well, let’s find out. 

What Are Cannabis Strains?

In popular culture, different cannabis cultivars are referred to as “strains.” Each individual strain is a cannabis variety that has been bred for its specific characteristics by a cannabis breeder. So, Granddaddy Purple is a strain. Harlequin is another strain. The former is a sleepy strain that produces a high percentage of the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). The latter is a mellow flower that produces both THC and cannabidiol (CBD). The plants both have different lineages and different characteristics. Hence, they are different strains. 

But, the word “strain” comes with a fair share of controversy. From a scientific perspective, referring to cannabis varieties as “strains” makes very little sense. And yet, “strain” is the word that remains in popular culture. The difference is mainly semantic—in the world of botany, different plant varieties are called cultivars, not strains. The word “strains” is usually reserved for bacteria and viruses, not plants.

Iranian Weed: Epic Mag Strain

The sprawling mountains of Iran bloom with native flora every year: elms and ironwood trees, tulips and daffodils, even something called Dwarf Eelgrass. But scattered throughout the forests and flowerbeds, like in neighboring Afghanistan and Pakistan, another flower has been thriving for thousands of years: cannabis.

Through Iranian genetics sourcing, cannabis in Iran is collected from specific regions, emphasizing the unique and wild plant varieties. Mag Landrace is just one of the Persian nation’s homegrown strains, beloved for its intense indica effects, deep green and purple hues, and abundance of trichomes, resins and oils that make it ideal for smoking and hash-making. It’s finally in the states and available for patients and casual users alike to discover and delight in, and here’s why.
