Mendocino Joe's Skunk Strain Overview
Mendocino Joe's Skunk is a cannabis strain that originated in the renowned cannabis-growing region of Mendocino County, California. The strain's exact genetic lineage is somewhat obscure, but it is believed to be a stabilized hybrid developed by local growers in the region, possibly involving classic Skunk genetics crossed with other California landrace or heirloom varieties.

The strain is characterized by its distinctive skunky aroma with earthy undertones, often accompanied by notes of citrus and pine.
