Farmer Felon

It’s a beautiful day when you can wake up to a First Place win in one of the biggest cannabis competitions in the world. For Farmer and the Felon, these days (and trophies) seem to keep coming.

California has used felon firefighters for almost a century. In a given year, 30 to 40% of California’s firefighters are prisoners. They do the necessary jobs of felling trees, hacking through dense underbrush and climbing mountainous terrain to clear flammable brush and set down fire breaks.

If you’ve ever wondered how new cannabis strains get made, then you’ve come to the right place. Because we’re about to get to the nitty gritty of breeding strains, pheno hunts, and why we have the thousands of cannabis hybrids that we all smoke today.

Katree Darriel Saunders is another victim of America's failed war on Drugs. In 2011, she was arrested due to Las Vegas’ Operation Chronic Problem, in what was truly just the entire Vegas medical cannabis community's attempt to help patients find safe alternatives to opioid addiction. Now, a decade later, she’s still paying for it.

As part of Women’s History Month, Farmer and The Felon presents a special collaboration with Valerie Leveroni Corral and WAMM Phytotherapies—a new organization that’s deeply rooted in cannabis history.

We are happy to announce that Farmer and the Felon's Lemon Sponge Cake won 1st Place Best Sungrown Flower at the High Times Cannabis Cup SoCal: People's Choice Edition 2020.

“In my opinion, the entire industry making billions is built off the backs of those who did it illegally. There would be no legal industry had not folks been doing it illegal for the last 60 years. There would be no market for it, no one would’ve been smoking it, no one would’ve been consuming it.” - Evelyn LaChapelle

A lot of people think the THC percentage on a product is the end-all-be-all of quality, and that’s wrong. There are so many more components of the cannabis plant and experience. And when it comes to the nuanced effects that people seek from the plant, THC percentage is never going to be the sole determiner  that leads you to high quality products.

This year, consumers ran through the gamut of Farmer and the Felon strains to enjoy a good smoke while giving back at the same time. There are a few standouts that make up the Best of the Best, however. Here are your top five favorite strains of 2020!
