The iconic R&B and soulstress Erykah Badu has announced the introduction of her own cannabis strain with the help of Cookies founder, Berner.
Badu’s strain, called “The Badu” was grown by Mad Cow Genetics. According to Berner, it’s a cross of Limoncello and Jet Fuel Gelato. As they explain in this Youtube video, it carries a distinctly lemon quality in its smoke and aroma profiles, producing an even-headed feel that’s easy to maintain.
“The first time we demoed it, it was about four of us,” she says of her first time experiencing the potency of “That Badu,” “And we had one spliff, no tobacco. And we each hit it two or three times and we were like comatose. But then, the next time we did the experiment, we each hit it one time and we had such a wonderful experience.”
“It’s really nice and natural, sort of like a ballad,” Badu said in the video. “It just makes you move light and it kind of gets you through your day, and you’re not zooted.”
In addition to her self-named strain, Badu also presented with a mushroom tea box set, which she was gifted Berner. The tea box set includes two psilocybin flavors (Ginger Magic, Earl Grey Creme), and two functional flavors (Golden Focus, Bergamot Brain Boost), as well as directions on how to prepare and consume them to maximize the experience.
According to Vibe, the Badu weed strain will soon be available at Berner’s Cookies locations.
