Simplistic Cannabis Blends

Old Pal Offers Classic High Quality Strains in Three Varieties

— February 5, 2019 — Lifestyle
Old Pal's Shareable Flowers cannabis range focuses on quality and simplicity. The range consists of three classic strains -- a Sativa, an Indica and a Hybrid -- and is offered in illustrated packaging that embodies a vintage aesthetic.

Priding itself on high-quality cannabis that doesn't rely on hyper-specific strain contents or fun names, the brand carries its product across California and on popular cannabis e-shop Eaze. In addition to its three minimalist cannabis varieties, Old Pal also offers signature merchandise including graphic tees, collectible artwork, scarf and patch accessories, posters, rolling papers and even a zine that spotlights the work of up-and-coming artists.

As the destigmatization of cannabis grows more common with legalization across North America, brands like Old Pal are opting for minimalist strain offerings in an effort to make smoking more accessible to those overwhelmed with options that are too specific or intimidating.
