Pure Michigan already has a large number of followers in the USA (Michigan); It is a very popular strain in dispensaries mainly due to its prominent presence at the most important events.

Oreoz can reach 30% THC and produces very tight buds with a dark and rocky appearance, from which an excellent resin with an exquisite texture emanates for the production of any type of concentrate, making it a plant with prodigious attributes for production. of flowers and extracts, a hybrid with clear commercial intentions.
