Dr. Greenthumb’s brand, headed by rapper B Real, has just launched a new cannabis strain in Florida. Known as “Latin Lingo,” the strain pays homage to Cypress Hill’s 1992 single of the same name. It is described as a mix of sweet fruit and old-school gas, featuring Jet Fuel Gelato and a lemon cherry cross. The launch represents B Real’s first foray into the Florida cannabis market, highlighting his roots and close ties to the state’s large Hispanic and Latino population.
The “Latin Lingo” strain is described as a fusion of sweet fruit and old school gas. “The Jet Fuel Gelato brings the creamy gas, but the lemon cherry cross in this particular pheno really shines. It reminded me of the shaved ice desserts, piragua, some Latin lingo for you right there,” B Real told Benzinga.
The name also highlights the rapper’s roots and the close ties that he and Cypress Hill share with Florida, a state known for its large Hispanic and Latino population.
The strain will be sold exclusively at Cookies Miami for the time being. B Real, however, hinted at broader plans for the future, stating, “We’ve always had big plans for Florida.”
The company has big plans for the new strain and will sell it not only at its Miami store but also at a new Orlando store opening in April. Daniel Firtel, TRP’s president, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, noting B Real’s legendary status in the cannabis, hip hop, and Latin culture.
According to Firtel, “This first strain is just the beginning, and the Florida medical patients can expect some great products being introduced in the near future.” With TRP’s dedication to bringing quality cannabis products to the Florida market and B Real’s passion for the industry, the partnership is sure to be a success.
