“A strain that is effective for one symptom may not be beneficial for another.”

Guided by lush visuals and easy-to- read stats, Greatest Hits provides practical insights about properties, aroma, and effects to help you select exactly what you want to use or grow.

These strains are the foundation of today’s most popular cannabis products.

“Marijuana is an amazing plant. It’s the proverbial outlaw that is now gaining respectability,” Rosenthal adds. “It has been outlawed, condemned and eradicated many times, and despite these hardships it comes back to change society.”
