In response to the growing consumer interest in light cannabis, Country Cannabis is releasing Mendocino Train as a rare 2:1 CBD to THC flower. Recently, Country Cannabis placed 3rd for Best Non-Infused Pre-Roll at the prestigious Emerald Cup, and as Country founder Jamie Feaster says, "We know consumers want well-balanced cannabis that helps them be more productive. This award confirms that 'light cannabis' deserves a place on every dispensary shelf."
Mendocino Train can be found in a pouch made with more than 80% post-consumer recycled material and the 30% cannabinoids (called "the Train" by the team) delivers an enjoyable everyday experience.
This light, smokable cannabis blend was inspired by the historic Mendocino 'Skunk Train' in Fort Bragg, CA.
