Sour Tsunami

๐ŸŒฟ Cultivation First mentioned: Ep. 216

A pioneering high-CBD cannabis strain bred by Lawrence Ringo in Southern Humboldt County, California. It was one of the first intentionally bred high-cannabinoid ratio varieties, exhibiting a roughly 3:1 CBD:THC profile.

Harry Rose described being essentially the first patient to try Sour Tsunami medicinally, calling himself the 'guinea pig' for the original strain. Samantha Miller tested Ringo's genetics and identified the unusual minor cannabinoid profiles, which led to recognizing the strain's therapeutic potential. Rose credits this strain with saving his life from severe autoimmune disease.
