A Powerful Medical Strain

Bred by the Southern Humboldt Seed Collective, Harley Tsu is a hybrid with large amounts of CBD. Medical patients seek out this strain because of the high CBD content. The amount of CBD is 20 times higher than it has THC.

Combining these two CBD strains created a super effect CBD strain that is meant to combat pain.
