“This past year has been a great learning experience... You have to evolve,” Wallace told Forbes.



“We can no longer stand idly by while our people struggle in the face of unjust laws,” Think Big’s leadership state’s on the company website.

“The war on cannabis has destroyed so many lives. As a company that believes in the healing power of cannabis, we have a responsibility to fight for change. We can no longer stand idly by while our people struggle in the face of unjust marijuana laws and environmental policies that disproportionately target people of color. That’s why we support organizations that advocate for social and criminal justice reform, including the fights against mass incarceration and climate change.”

What Is Acapulco Gold Cannabis?
 
Acapulco Gold is a legendary sativa-dominant cannabis strain that originated in Mexico's Guerrero region during the 1960s. Known for its distinctive golden-colored buds and potent cerebral effects, this landrace strain has maintained its reputation as one of the most sought-after varieties among cannabis connoisseurs.
The strain typically contains 18-25% THC with minimal CBD (under 2%), making it primarily psychoactive rather than therapeutic in the traditional CBD sense.

        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.
