For the last few years, we have been tracking and adding an increasing number of cannabis-related events to our Events Calendar , and with more yearly and monthly events come even more variety. Expect that variety to expand even further in future. In the last couple months, we have attended several events from Afroman concert to Great Harvest 2023 , and we are scheduled to attend The Herban Legend Cup next week.

This week, the new craft grow team at IC Collective dropped five new strains as part of its Illinois launch. I picked up to review three eighths of flower (Cali Sour, Fox River Chem, and Alley Cat) and a gram of Pheno Hunt #2 live rosin. Of course, I chose to review first the strain most likely to fit our Work Sativa series, Cali Sour. Cali Sour is a sativa-leaning hybrid cross of Cali Chem (Cookies N Chem and Chem 91) and Sour Diesel.

In the pre-legalization days, the High Times Cannabis Cup was a way for breeders to highlight their newest, most exciting strains. While the Cup has changed dramatically from those days, a tiny bit of that spirit lives on as some cultivators submit their new “headline cultivars” for consideration. White Grapefruit Cookies from Seed & Strain , as part of the Sativa Flower Kit, is one of those cultivars.

The U.S. cannabis industry is still in its infancy, even though states began engaging with legalization in one form or another in the late 1990s. Today, many opportunities exist for individuals and businesses that want to engage in the industry. Some want to directly own licensed businesses, while others prefer to keep the industry at an arm’s length and merely profit from it.
