What is the Sinaloa strain?
Sinaloa is a sativa cannabis strain with up to 15.0% THC, known for its energetic effects and citrus and earthy flavor profile.
Sinaloa is a rare, 100% pure sativa landrace strain from the Sinaloa region of Mexico, representing one of the foundational genetics of cannabis culture. This Mexican domesticate originates from a latitude of 25°N at an altitude of 1800 meters above sea level, where it has evolved naturally over centuries to adapt to the unique environmental conditions of northwestern Mexico. As a true landrace strain, Sinaloa naturally evolved within Mexico's distinct ecosystems and has grown indigenously in this particular geographic region, adapting to the unique characteristics of that environment without being crossbred with other varieties. For many whose early experiences were in the 1980s-90s, this is the Mexican variety that was smuggled into the USA as 'Mexi-Brick Weed,' though the actual genetics are considered amazing with effects that are super psychedelic, silly, giggly, and fun. Mexican landrace strains were named after their place of origin, and Sinaloa became popular in the 1970s and was considered an icon amongst American and European hippies. The strain showcases the classic characteristics of Mexican sativa landraces, with calyxes that are very full of glandular pointy trichomes with a medium abundance of long stigmas that end in dark amber.
