Why are American strains so strong?

In US states such as Colorado, Washington and California, cannabis has become legal step by step since 2012.

The strains that come out of it, such as Gelato and Runtz, reach 25 to 30% THC, where the classic Dutch strains from the nineties sit at 15 to 20%. The taste is different too: the Cookies and Gelato lines were bred for sweet, creamy terpenes such as caryophyllene and limonene. That genetics is in our Goldline, for € 5.80 to € 12.50 per seed.
