Old School Weed Strains

Cannabis is undoubtedly one of the most diverse and interesting plant groups on the planet. Aside from the major distinctions of indica vs. sativa, cultivators and plant scientists have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to bring hundreds of new strains to consumers. 

Each of these offers unique genetics that are easily distinguishable and equally easy to appreciate. However, whether because of nostalgia or just stellar quality, several old-school strains have stood the test of time, earning their place in cannabis history.
