Utterly sticky and packed with trichomes, the Pink Buffalo from The Bakerie in Los Angeles offers a sultry and comforting high. Its dense, round pebble nugs showcase reds, deep purple, light greens, and subtle sparkly yellow hairs.

A cross between the Bakerie’s Gelato 41 and Zkittlez, this strain’s fruity notes are complex, and its Zkittlez genetics gift it a profound, tangy, gassy terpene profile that is immediately present on your palette upon dry hit.

With Pink Buffalo, expect to find heavy-handed cannabinoids (usually clocking in at over 30%) that offer this cultivar a unique, emphatic, pungent, and palatable smoke. The resulting effect is delightful and relaxing, like a warm hug, and I drifted off into sleep with this Indica-leaning strain.
