Mimosa
Also known as: Purple Mimosa
Breeder: Symbiotic Genetics
Named after the brunch cocktail for its bright citrus character, Mimosa delivers an uplifting, clear-headed experience balanced by gentle body relaxation from its indica parentage. Created in just a two-light setup in the back of a Sacramento dispensary, it became a phenomenon when Jungle Boys test-grew and popularized the genetics in LA. Often described as the ideal 'wake and bake' strain.

Named during a smoke session — 'We were smoking a joint of it, and it was very orangey and citrusy... Michael just looked at me and said, How about Mimosa?'
