THE STRAIN ATLAS — THE SOUTHWEST Cannabis in the Southwest is shaped by sun and stone — bright, spicy, and desert‑cured. Strains steep under relentless light, carrying citrus heat and canyon clarity.

Cannabis here grows like moss — slow, rich, and rain-fed. In Cascadia, the plant is ritual, not commodity. Terpenes steep in fog. Strains like Blueberry and Dutch Treat carry cedar, citrus, and cerebral clarity. This is forest-bound cannabis: introspective, sticky, and tuned for long walks, deep books, and quiet rebellion.
