Review: Mitten Canna Co. - Obama Runtz (Deli Style)

By Gas & Middies

Today we are reviewing some deli style flower, of a strain with a mysterious origin story and the namesake of a former American President: Obama Runtz grown by Mitten Canna Co.

Purchased at King of Budz for $22.50.

Mitten Canna Co.

Mitten Canna Co. is a legacy caregiver brand based in Jackson.

There isn’t a ton about them online.

But, CannaCribs has a dope episode featuring their grow on Youtube, if you want to learn more about them.

Obama Runtz

Origin Story

There is a great read from Leafly that goes over the history of the Obama Runtz strain.

But here is a TLDR:

  • It all started with a video filmed by an unknown kid from Atlanta that blew up:

“A n*gga walking around Magnolia talking about he got Obama Runtz.
I ain’t never heard of no Obama Runtz a day in my life.
I didn’t even know Obama condoned sh*t like that.
He had on a fat-ass 4PF [Lil Baby’s brand] chain.
I don’t even know if he’s Baby’s big homie or what, to be honest with you.”

  • Rappers started including Obama Runtz in their song lyrics further hyping up the non-existent strain.
  • Cannabis brands then started creating/marketing the strain to sell to the public riding the hype of the initial YouTube video and latter rapper mentions.

Genetics

Supposedly this is a three-way (giggity) cross of:

  • Afghani
  • OG Kush
  • Runtz

Stats

Rating

This particular rendition of Obama Runtz lives up to the hype!

I’m a big fan of strong, unique terpenes and that’s the first thing you taste here.

I taste a strong, almost herbal cream soda, and see how it could be overpowering to some taste buds.

I dig it.

Delivering a nice bang for your buck at $22, the quality on this exceeds the price point.

One of the surest signs you have some gas, is when you first try it, you immediately plot your next trip to get more.

That was me with this one, because this is:

Gas ⛽

Outro

I loved learning about the legend of this strain and seeing it go from myth to reality!

With the rise in decently priced deli style flower, I feel like Michigan is in a great spot for flower selection.

I will add, some of my favorite flower recently had been mid price point, but not mid quality.

This one punches above it’s weight and doesn’t need the Secret Service to back it up.

What do you guys think?
