  • Ringo's Rose

    shares the fascinating journey of the Ringo's Rose strain, a CBD-rich cannabis variety developed by the late Lawrence Ringo. Ringo's mission was to create a strain with high CBD content and minimal THC, aiming to provide therapeutic benefits without psychoactive effects. This strain, which almost faced extinction, was saved through innovative propagation techniques, highlighting the challenges and triumphs in cannabis cultivation.

    One of the last projects that Ringo was doing for breeding that I knew about, he was busy. He had his hands in a lot of things with a lot of people towards the end of his life. But what he was working on locally was creating as potent of a CBD strain as he could with the highest CBD value.

    CBD History

    The history of CBD strains is rich with innovation and discovery, as recounts the development of classic strains like Sour Tsunami and Charlotte's Web. These strains, initially bred for high THC content, revealed unexpected medicinal properties that revolutionized the cannabis industry. The evolution of these strains underscores the importance of scientific testing and the role of unsung heroes in cannabis history.

    Ringo intentionally held back and made sure that nobody knew where Charlotte's Web came from, really, because we were all. I'm still mad about it a little bit, to be honest with you, that he hasn't gotten the real credit that he deserves for, you know, the contribution and the genetics that he just kind of launched out there and people have taken the ball and run with hard.
