Frankenstein

The True Story of ‘Johnny Potseed’ and ‘Frankenstein’ is as follows,
He was born in the late 40s and grew up on family farmland, where a rather large amount of marijuana was grown every year by his grandfather. Enjoying playing and being in the company of the elders while they were working with the various crops, he would toddle alongside them as they worked the rows. At about 3-4 yrs old he wanted to ‘help’ so they gave him a cut-down garden hoe and let him ‘work’ alongside them… at first cutting down more ‘weed’ than weeds, he was patiently taught which ones to look out for and which were unwanted.
His first toke was at the age of 8, sneaking behind the barn with a ‘borrowed’ pipe… and the rest, as they say, is history! In his mid-teens (early 1960s) he started to roam the country, sowing the beautiful plant he loved in any place he found that it might flourish. Also, in a few places that he knew it wouldn’t, but… that was more a gesture of defiance. Like planting on the grounds of the Washington Memorial and the Lincoln Memorial, or any square/park in the centers of many towns across the USA.
All during the 60s and 70s up into the first of the 80s, he wandered the country, planting and sometimes cultivating and harvesting, the sweet leaf. Selling what he grew as well as working different jobs here and there when he needed…
By the mid-70s, because of his nationwide planting practices, he was called Johnny Potseed by many, and the nickname took hold. Becoming considered a ‘Master Grower’ in the Western part of the USA circa mid 70’, he continued to hone his growing/breeding skills.
In the early 80s, he met and married a young lady, who became the mother of 3 great children. When she became pregnant with their first child in the early 80’s he moved from growing outdoors to indoors. After about 20 yrs. in early 2000, there was an accident and he became permanently disabled. So, to have the meds he needed, he decided to breed his own. After taking a while for research, he picked & ordered seeds of 7 strains from the list of top 20 consistent world class strains. Taking 3&1/2 years of very intensive growing and crossing of the strains, and exhaustive log-keeping, and then another year and a half to stabilize and breed true. A total of 5 years of blood, sweat, and tears went into the making of his ideal medicinal/recreational strain, high in both THC as well as CBD. He named it ‘Frankenstein’ after the similar idea of the famous movie monster, having been made from pieces of several men. This blend is one that never grows old and can be smoked daily for years without the user becoming inured to.
He has been known to be the breeder of Frankenstein by many people 'in the know' nationwide ever since it's creation.
The culmination of now over 65 years’ growing/breeding experience, ‘Frankenstein’ was created and now is being shared with the world. Enjoy!
