Maui
A favorite of folks in LACA, Maui is a sweet, uplifting strain that’s a perfect antidote for social anxiety. Notes of citrus, earth, and tropical flavors are one of the pleasant benefits of Maui, making you feel relaxed, happy, and talkative. Bonus: it’s best for quelling nerves on a first date.

Killer Queen is for those who view themselves as Molly. Their demanding jobs require hours of hard work, intense focus, and the ability to maintain their cool in stressful situations.

Rainbow
Rainbow is the perfect substitute for wine when you’d like a booze-free “wine down.” Hungry, happy, and relaxed are just right for dinner party energy, so (naturally) Rainbow would make a fantastic appetizer. It’s sweet, woody, and tropical, born from the cross of Dancehall and Blueberry. It also pairs well with a blended red should you want to bring booze back into the equation.
