Offendo

Straight out of the woods of western Washington comes a strain that is smelly enough to be mistaken for a ripe Bigfoot, with a buzz that’s the perfect way to kick off a season of change. Offensively loud and funky, the Offendo is shown here in the grow just a few days before harvest. 

Canna Organix is situated in Sequim near Olympic National Park in an area known locally as the “Blue Hole.” This nickname comes from the rain shadow effect of the Olympic Mountains, which means that Sequim has a fraction of the rain at only 12 to 16 inches per year. Consider that nearby Forks — hometown of the vampire “Twilight” saga — receives 120 or more inches of rain per year!

Apart from the interesting PNW facts, the weather is relevant because Canna Organix grows using supplementally lit greenhouses, taking advantage of the 300 days of rain-free weather to grow using natural sunlight. The farm also utilizes living soil practices and grows with organic methods that produce clean, tasty flowers that power the lineup of jars, joints, concentrates (like live resin and RSO) and cartridges that can be found all over the state.

With beautiful and chunky nugs, a light green color and a heavy coating of frosty trichomes and red hairs, this flower looks as beautiful in bud as it does in the garden. The first notes from the bag are bright and ripe, with rich red berries, chocolate, coffee and heavy GMO notes dominating the senses. 

Breaking open a dense but fluffy nug releases a creamy Gelato funk that brings orange zest and a fuel-mint zing that teases the senses. This strain lives up to the name Offendo, with a dank and robust bag appeal that would turn up the nose of a nonstoner, but gets our mouth watering as we break up the bud.

Ripping a bowl releases a smooth and sweet smoke that burns quickly to a white ash, sending a rush of heady, chillaxed euphoria straight to the frontal lobes. The flower tastes amazing when smoked, as notes of citrus, chocolate and the ever-present GMO coat the palate with tingly terpenes while the effects build up. 

The first bowl slows time and thought, and the second and third bowls add layers of stickiness to the fingers and load the mind and body like a triple-decker cake of baked. With a superbly easy smoke, we ripped through bowls, savoring the flavor and the feeling of our minds melting into a puddled body below. 

Despite the name, we found the Offendo to be the ultimate stress reliever, as it calms muscles and mental tension, relieving us of all ancillary thoughts until only weed, food and music remain. In a time when people are so easily offended and sensitive, perhaps getting baked to the point where those thoughts slip away is truly the ultimate medicine.
