You got to love some of the names that people will name their strain of bud. Imagine someone handing you a joint and you ask what is it and they say, “It’s that Cat Piss.”
It gets crazier when it comes to strains, named after people. I’d be more likely to choose Beastmode named after Marshawn Lynch before I inhaled Charlie Sheen.
Medicine Man, the popular dispensary is about to upstage everyone with their new strain. I’m sure the namesake ain’t too happy.

They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery — but in 2018, imitation can also be simple mockery. Count a Denver dispensary chain’s decision to name a marijuana strain after United States Attorney General Jeff Sessions among the latter.
Inspired by the AG’s public remarks and his recent rescission of nine years’ worth of federal protective guidelines for marijuana businesses and users, Medicine Man‘s Jeff Sesh-ons is a sativa-leaning hybrid of Jet Fuel and Bio Diesel. The combination of genetics from Colorado-based 303 Seeds would usually equate to another strain called Rocket Fuel, but the Medicine Man grow produced a phenotype with different characteristics, so the staff was mulling over what to name it.

“We have a little fun with some strains occasionally,” says Bradley Roddy, director of retail operations for Medicine Man, who explains that the cultivation team will test out different female plants of the same genetics to decide which ones have the most desirable qualities to continue growing for future harvests. “Rocket Fuel had three strong candidates, but when they run side by side, they can taste and smell different.”
With the phenotype closest to the original Rocket Fuel already bearing its name, the two other varieties couldn’t be sold until they were given new identities. Roddy had one in mind for the second. “At the time we named it, Jeff Sessions was all up in the news,” he says. “It’s topical and kind of fun. You may see more strains like that.”
We all know how Jeff Sessions feel about weed so I’m sure he’s not too impressed with any of this. Read the full story here
