Why Medical Cannabis?
Broader Spectrum of Relief:
Treats a wide range of conditions such as: chronic pain, nausea, epilepsy, and MS - offering relief where Pharma has often proven to be less effective.
Fewer & Milder Side Effects:
Compared to pharmaceutical opioids, many patients report way less severe side effects and prefer plant based, sustainable long-term treatment.
Lower Dependency Risk:
There's a significantly lower risk of dependency and overdose compared to prescription drugs, especially opioids.
Neuroprotective Qualities:
Research indicates that compounds in marijuana may protect against neurodegenerative diseases, such as MS, Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s.
Enhanced Quality of Life:
Users often report improved sleep, reduced anxiety, and better pain management, contributing to a better overall quality of life.
Cultivation Philosophy.
All Buendía strains are meticulously cultivated by master growers in Colombia’s high-altitude mountains, soaring over 2,500 meters above sea level.
Our premium flower thrives in organic, nutrient-rich living soil (LSO), unlocking the full genetic potential of each cultivar. Grown in greenhouses with natural sunlight, well-watered, and employing sustainable practices, our cultivation boasts a zero-carbon footprint.
Every strain is hand-harvested, hang-dried, and slow cold-cured to enhance flavor and terpene profiles. Each bud is expertly hand-trimmed, with only the finest cola crowns carefully nitrogen-sealed for unmatched freshness and quality.
What Are Landrace Strains?
Landrace strains are plants indigenous to a certain region and have developed unique characteristics to adapt to their natural environment. These strains have not been crossbred with other varieties and are considered the purest form of genetics.
These strains have been cultivated for thousands of years, and each region’s unique climate and soil conditions have influenced their development. They are often named after their place of origin, like ‘Afghani’ from Afghanistan or ‘Durban Poison’ from South Africa.
Genetic Purity
With no genetic modification or crossbreeding, these strains are 100% pure and natural.
Cultural Heritage
They represent a deep connection to the historical and cultural practices of cultivation.
Unique Effects
With no breeding dilution, landrace offer unique effects specific to the cannabinoid & terpene profiles.
Robustness
Adapted over centuries to thrive in specific climatic conditions, landrace tend to be hardy and resilient.
Authentic Experience
Users can enjoy a consumption experience that is as close as possible to that of ancient use.
Unique Terpene Profiles
The distinct terpenes in landrace strains contribute to unique flavors & aromas uncommon in hybrid strains.
Potential Medical Benefits
The unaltered genetic makeup offers unique medical benefits traditionally used by indigenous cultures.
Entourage Effect
The spectrum of cannabinoids & terpenes working together manifest a complete therapeutic effect.
Conservation Efforts
As hybridization becomes more common, preserving landraces are crucial for maintaining biodiversity.
The Key Reasons We Choose Sun Grown.
Sun-grown cannabis offers several advantages over indoor cultivation. By harnessing the full spectrum of natural sunlight, these plants develop enhanced cannabinoid and terpene profiles, resulting in richer and more nuanced flavors and effects. This cultivation method also supports local ecosystems and biodiversity, as it requires minimal energy input compared to indoor grows and reduces waste and pollution by lessening dependency on artificial products.
Additionally, sun-grown cannabis often incorporates sustainable farming practices, such as permaculture design and organic inputs, further promoting environmental responsibility.
Farming at Altitude.
Studies, such as the one conducted by *Giupponi et al, indicate that plants grown at higher altitudes exhibit increased concentrations of minor cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, leading to enhanced nutritional and medicinal properties.
Increased Terpene Production
Greater aroma and flavor profiles, along with improved pest resistance.
Heightened Minor Cannabinoids
Plants have more therapeutic compounds for better health benefits.
Increased Nutritional Content
Richer in Antioxidants, contributing to better nutritional & medicinal properties.
Better Plant Resilience
Plants adapt more effectively to stress, boosting beneficial compounds.
How We Grow?
Pharmaceutical Quality Grade
Our operations meet the most stringent pharmaceutical standards, certified by international regulators and successfully audited multiple times to ensure consistent compliance, safety, and quality.
Powered by the Sunlight of the Equator
We grow our flowers in greenhouses at our farm in the highlands of Colombia, at 2500 m altitude, using minimal amounts of energy compared to indoor grows. We pride ourselves on being one of the most sustainably operating cultivators in the world.
Pristine Air, Water and Soil Conditions
We draw water from a natural aquifer and benefit from excellent air and soil conditions on our remote farm, located far from larger population centers, ensuring an environment ideal for sustainable cultivation and minimizing external contaminants.
Employing Local Farmers
Most of our employees are single mothers living in the immediate vicinity of the farm, and many of them have come to us for a safe, stable and healthy working environment where no pesticides or chemical fertilizers are being used.
