What is the Ringo’s Gift strain of cannabis?
Ringo’s Gift was one of the first high-CBD strains to be intentionally bred. It was created by Lawrence Ringo of Southern Humboldt Seed collective, who sustainably grew organic cannabis in Humboldt county for over 35 years.
After realizing the worth of high-CBD strains to the medical community in 2010, Lawrence began to focus specially on producing high-CBD strains of cannabis and created a library of CBD genetics that everyone in the industry knowingly or unknowingly pick from.
Ringo’s gift takes a little extra tender love and care to grow. A lot of work must be devoted to pruning, watching out for pests, and feeding ample nutrients and water.
For outdoor cultivation, this plant can grow up to six feet tall and harvest time occurs around mid-October.
Ringo’s Gift review: Flavor, smell, appearance
Originally grown on an organic farm, this rare strain has a fresh smell and profile that makes it an essential for CBD lovers to experience.
Flavor
When inhaled, Ringo’s gift has a spicy tang with sweet and minty undertones. The profile is complex, and it is suggested that every user make their own determination on the flavors associated with their own palette.
Smell
Walking through a crop of Ringo’s Gift is like walking through a pine forest. The rich smell provided by the pinene and myrcene terpenes make this flower a breath of fresh air for those looking for a strain with earthy tones for the nostrils.
Appearance
Resembling its sativa-lineage, this strain is tall, with thin leaves, and small pockets of buds.
The flowers themselves are shades of green but, depending on growing conditions can have a deep purple hue.
Just like high-THC strains, the flowers look sugar-coated from the high percentage of CBD.
Mind and body effects of Ringo’s Gift
This soothing yet subtly cerebral strain is well matched for those who are looking for a daytime companion.
The high-CBD profile is relaxing to the body, and the hint of THC provides a little bit of extra lubricant to the mind that many seek in cannabis.
The original breeder, Lawrence Ringo, used it to explore his musical pursuits and this strain is well suited for artists and explorers of all mediums.
Providing focus and an uplifting mood, it can help give a productive and relaxed session for users.
This strain does not have a lot of THC in it, and despite having indica roots, does not give the “couch-lock” effect seen in many high-THC indicas.
Possible medical benefits of Ringo’s Gift
If the stories surrounding this strain’s medical use are true, this strain and many other high-CBD flowers have high potential for the health industry.
Many people tout this strain’s powerful effect on their lives, and it will be curious to see what the medical community does once clinical trials are initiated.

- Anxiety

Review of Ringo’s Gift adverse effects
One of the strangest things about these high-CBD strains is the lack of adverse effects associated with their use.

Dry eyes and mouth are usually the most common side effects and can be curbed with adequate hydration.
To sum it up: Ringo’s Gift review
Ringo’s gift is a wellness strain that straddles the line between medicinal benefits and recreational pleasure.
It is a quality strain for those that are THC-sensitive, and it does not provide that intense psycho-activity usually seen in the Kush and Skunk varieties.
