Buddies was founded in Grants Pass, Oregon, in early 2017 and launched in August of that same year, but the founders are from the east coast. It started with an idea shared between a couple of friends in a Charlotte, North Carolina high school—they wanted to create a brand everyone could participate in. James, now the president of Buddies Brand, and Nick moved to Washington to start building their vision from the ground up. Shane Coble, founder of Permanent Vacation, was the missing piece of the puzzle that brought that vision into reality. He moved to Washington to help them get Buddies up and running. In the beginning, Buddies focused on making crumble wax, hash, and resin, prioritizing quality and scalability. They quickly figured out terpene extraction and began experimenting with re-introducing terpene profiles to their distillate. As a result, their Sour Tangie strain won Best Vape Cartridge in Oregon’s 2018 Dope Cup.&nbsp;That spirit of experimentation can be felt throughout their product line. Take their live resin “Liquid Diamonds”, for instance. Buddies freezes their flower within an hour of harvesting it to retain the terpenes and cannabinoids so they can extract it using a BHO process and create their live resins,—that’s nothing new, it’s just the best way to make crystals. They had the crazy idea of engineering a process to reduce those crystals back down to a crystal state for more precise dosing and dabbing. Buddies is one of the few vape cartridge producers that’s operating successfully in three states with legal recreational cannabis. ﻿They have facilities in Oregon, Washington, and California that all have to stay compliant with each individual states’ regulations for cannabis production while also maintaining the consistent level of quality on which they built their brand. We respect that entrepreneurial spirit, and in the past three years, Buddies has grown from three guys with a vision to over a hundred people working to make the best cannabis extract everyone can participate in.

Sometimes you need a little pick me up that will leave you energized and ready to face the day ahead of you. This Tangelo strain is exactly that, with an energizing high that will leave you feeling like you are on top of the world. Get ready to fight stress and fatigue with even just the smallest hit from this cartridge, since the THC percentage is so high. 

While the effects of Tangelo are amazing, they don’t even begin to compare to the amazing taste and aroma of this strain. There are small notes of tropical fruit, but the most noticeable aroma is the tangerine/orange juice that just envelopes you. With its bright and pleasurable aromas, and flavors, this is a strain you are going to want to share with everyone. 

Tangelo is perfect for daytime smokers who still need the ability to focus on tasks and get things done. Creating a productive and focused high, this strain is meant to be smoked when you need a little boost to get through the day. Can be smoked alone or with friends, though it is definitely better when shared. 

In addition to helping with depression and anxiety, it will also help with any physical pain you might be feeling. Great for eliminating inflammation and soothing joints, Tangelo is ideal if you need to be up and about without feeling uncomfortable. Definitely more for experienced smokers, since those with less of a tolerance might find themselves getting more unfocused.

You ever hear of 3 Bears OG? Buckle up, Goldilocks. Instead of having to contend with a strain that's too weak or too strong (or even settling for "just right,") 3 Bears OG gives you the full gamut. It's mostly indica (but not too indica) with enough sativa to make sure you're not crashing on anyone's couch before they've had the chance to extend you an invitation.
3 Bears OG is so chill you might want to start your hibernation early. It's a three-way cross between Bear OG, Karma's Cut OG and Triangle Kush. If none of those strains sound familiar either you're in good company. 3 Bears OG is one of the craftiest of craft strains. It has a spicy, complex flavor that starts more intense than it finishes. It's flora, sure, but think more lavender than roses, and look out for that light taste of watermelon on the exhale.
The best part is you get to choose your own experience. Take a Baby Bear hit, and you'll be treated to a light curiosity and openness. Mama Bears will appreciate the enhancement to their patience, and a big Papa Bear hit will leave you couch-locked and hungry for porridge.

Chem Cookies might not sound all too appetizing, but trust us—it's worth it. It's got a sweet nuttiness with a noticeable overtone of diesel that comes off more like spicy coffee than fuel. It's an invigorating flavor to be sure, and that might fool you into thinking it's an activating high.

The stone creeps up on you slowly—so slowly, in fact, that if you take two hits of Chem Cookies before you've felt the effects of the first one, you're going to be crawling into bed for the night when it finally kicks in. This is a high that comes loaded with soothing and relaxing effects that are the perfect complement to cold, rainy days when all you want to do is lie in bed, warm and cozy, listening to the pitter-patter on your window.

If you've never ridden a motorcycle, you might not know the profound sense of serenity that can arise from being perched atop the rumbling engine of one of those magnificent machines. When the white noise of the motor drowns out all other sound, and you're teetering on the point of equilibrium, it's like being rocked in a cradle. Even the exhaust fumes become soothing.

Motorbreath seeks to invoke that same sense of boundless calm you would find on a cross-country motorcycle road trip. Two hits will leave you wanting to plop down next to a campfire with your bedroll for a pillow and just stare up at the stars for a while. It's got a gassy flavor presentation with a delightfully lemon aftertaste.

The body high from Motorbreath is also supremely relaxing. It loosens your muscles like a vibrating massager, and some people find it's the fastest way to get to sleep. Whether you're calling it an early night or staying up late to share your bed with someone special, Motorbreath is definitely a strain for after dark, when sleep already on the table.

Durban Poison is a classic landrace sativa strain, dating all the way back to Ed Rosenthal's historic trip to Amsterdam in the late 1970s. (If you don't know who Ed Rosenthal is, he's one of the people who wrote the "Marijuana Growers Guide," which kicked off the underground American cannabis cultivation boom in the mid-20th century. Without Rosenthal, weed as we know it today literally wouldn't exist.) Durban is a city in South Africa, and Durban Poison made its way to Amsterdam by means of a couple South African coffee shop owners. But enough about history—what's it feel like? Durban Poison is the closest thing cannabis gets to coffee. This is a stimulating strain, and not for the faint of heart! It hits hard, it hits fast, and once you come up, it doesn't let up. People with low tolerance will find Durban Poison overwhelming, but people with more experience are well-positioned to appreciate its energizing effects. It's great for boosts of creativity, for getting some housework done, or even running errands around town (so long as you can do so without operating a motor vehicle.) It also has an earthy, piney flavor—as you would expect from such a classic strain—well-represented by this distillate from Buddies.

Everybody should spend at least one day luxuriating like a king or queen on top of their respective throne, and this live distillate from Buddies will make you feel some kind of regal. Get ready to get comfortable and let Royal Highness soothe your heavy mind.

Even in a vape, Royal Highness has a flavor like incense, producing thick peppery clouds with an earthy nutmeg smell. It can be a little prickly on the exhale, so don’t be surprised if it makes you feel like coughing. A balanced body high floods in quickly thereafter, like slipping into a warm bath. Royal Highness offers palpable physical relief and its head effects are more steamy than foggy. You’ll feel clear-headed and energized.

Purple Queen is the height of royalty in the Purple family, with the pedigree to match. Bred from Hindu Kush and Purple Afghani, you'd be forgiven for thinking it was a landrace indica—but there's actually a little sativa in there for good measure. Of course, the thing we like best about Purple strains is the taste—it's absolutely delicious. Purple Queen starts with a mouthwateringly sweet and sour taste that turns gassy on the exhale but still finishes smooth, underscored by just a hint of grape. It's like vaping a glass of dessert wine, luxurious and decadent, and the exhale leaves you wanting to immediately take another hit. The high from Purple Queen can only be described as regal. It starts with a slow sultry build, gradually making you aware of its presence as it creeps up the back of your skull. From these humble beginnings, a radiant sense of euphoria emerges, dispelling any doubt from your mind that you were destined for anything less than absolute greatness. This feeling of calm potency—like a lioness at rest—swells to a cresting crescendo until you find yourself quite comfortably reclined and ready to drift off into ethereal contemplations of the cosmos.

Why is it so magical? If you've seen (or better yet, scaled) Mt. Hood, you know it's got two sides, and the same is true for Mt. Hood Magic. This is a Portland, Oregon native strain, bred from the cross between Northern Lights #5 and Durban Poison. Some of its phenotypes lean toward Northern Lights, others lead toward Durban Poison. This is most certainly the latter. Mt. Hood Magic—the Indica-dominant variety—is that extra burst of momentum you need to make it to the summit. It's a soaring, rushing sense of euphoria and motivation that pairs well with the sorts of outdoor activities you love here in the Pacific Northwest. It has a delicious herbal flavor that's sweet and sour at the same time, like mountain berries, and has a citrusy kick on the exhale.

Ever wonder what it would be like to just check out for the day, or maybe even the whole weekend? Grape Pie is the solution to the Sunday Scaries, perfect for a day when you've got nothing to do and you don't want to worry, like the first day of your well-deserved vacation or when the boss unexpectedly schedules you for a three-day weekend. Grape Pie has a flavorful aroma, rich with sweet sugar and tangy sour grapes. The exhale is its own tour-de-force, full of nuttiness and spice. It can be a little harsh for people who aren't used to it, but if you take quick, small hits, it shouldn't bother you. The high from Grape Pie builds like a slow breeze, giving you goosebumps and prickling up your hair. You'll feel it ripple down through your body, kneading and unwinding as it goes, until your very toes are tingling. Just like a dessert, Grape Pie will leave you feeling relaxed and euphoric, filled with a sense of quiet satisfaction. Then all you gotta do is lie back in the sun like a California raisin.

Sometimes, the present moment is just so good you want to get stuck there, and that's where Gorilla Glue #12 comes in. It's a legendary sativa leaning hybrid that earned its reputation back in the prohibition era when every cultivar had to defend its place under the grow light. The term "perfectly balanced" gets thrown around a lot with hybrids, but in this case, it's true—Gorilla Glue #12 is as close as you can get to the perfect hybrid. The high starts with a pleasant lifting sensation that opens your mind to the positive possibilities that surround you, then gives way to the best kind of body high that loosens you up and sticks you to whatever surface you might be sitting on. One hit and it widens your eyes, loosens your spine, and melts through your entire body. It’s got a light, woody flavor with hints of pine and juniper, so it shouldn’t lead to much coughing at all. Gorilla Glue #12 is named for the way it glues you to the couch, so we recommend it for activities where you wouldn’t be likely to get up anyway, such as watching a movie, playing video games, or going for a long soak in a hot tub.
