New Kamala OG & Orange President Strains Mark 2024 Election

Fast Buds Releases Two New Cannabis Strains, Kamala OG and Orange President, for 2024 Election

Fast Buds, a renowned global producer of auto-flowering cannabis genetics, has launched two exclusive cannabis strains in honor of the 2024 U.S. Presidential election. The limited-edition strains—Orange President and Kamala OG—symbolize the political figures they are named after: former President Donald Trump and sitting Vice President Kamala Harris. This playful approach combines cannabis culture with political commentary, reflecting the contrasting personalities of these figures.

“At Fast Buds, we believe that cannabis culture thrives on creativity and conversation,” said Eugene Boukreev, head of marketing at Fast Buds. “The launch of Orange President and Kamala OG is our playful way of celebrating not just the political landscape, but also the diversity and unique characteristics that reflect different perspectives.”

These strains are not just a marketing gimmick; they are designed to ignite conversation about cannabis legalization and the political climate, while offering a distinctive experience for cannabis enthusiasts.

A Closer Look: Orange President Auto

The Orange President Auto strain captures attention with its vibrant orange-haired trichomes and potent effects. A Sativa-dominant strain, it offers a striking profile with 26% THC, delivering a blend of sweet and zesty citrus flavors. Known for its uplifting, energizing high, this cultivar appeals to recreational users looking for a bright and invigorating experience.

“Orange President embodies the boldness and energy that its name suggests,” Boukreev noted, referencing the strain’s namesake. The citrus-forward terpenes match the fiery personality of former President Donald Trump, offering a heady mix of flavor and intensity. This strain promises to keep users engaged and alert, making it a popular choice for daytime use.

Kamala OG Auto: A Sativa for Productivity

In contrast, Kamala OG Auto takes inspiration from Vice President Kamala Harris, known for her focus and productivity. This Sativa-dominant hybrid features 24% THC, with a smooth balance of sweet and sour flavors, including notes of tangy fruit cocktail. With its cerebral and creative high, Kamala OG offers a perfect companion for those with busy schedules or creative pursuits.

“Kamala OG reflects the traits of a high-performing individual—it’s productive, creative, and balanced,” said Boukreev. Cannabis enthusiasts who value focus and clarity will find this strain a fitting tribute to the vice president’s trailblazing career.

Cannabis and Politics: A Growing Intersection

The introduction of these strains comes during a pivotal moment for cannabis policy in the U.S. In 2024, cannabis legalization is taking center stage, with growing bipartisan support for federal reform. According to a report by Data For Progress, 66% of U.S. voters now support nationwide cannabis legalization—a significant increase from previous years. Vice President Harris has publicly advocated for making cannabis legalization “the law of the land,” further aligning with the pro-reform movement.

Boukreev believes the strains reflect the current political environment. “Just as presidential candidates represent different views and visions, these strains offer distinct profiles and effects that allow consumers to choose what resonates with them,” he explained. “Cannabis has always been a catalyst for debate and community building, and we wanted to infuse that spirit with a bit of lighthearted fun during such an important election year.”

Auto-flower Innovation

Both strains are created using auto-flowering technology, a breakthrough in cannabis cultivation that allows plants to flower independently of light cycles. Auto-flower seeds are popular among both novice and experienced growers because they require less maintenance and can be harvested in as little as 10 weeks. The ease of growth, combined with the quick turnaround, makes these strains an appealing option for home growers looking for convenience without sacrificing potency.

Fast Buds has already opened pre-orders for both Orange President and Kamala OG on their official website. The official release date is scheduled for November 7, 2024, just days before the Presidential election. Cannabis enthusiasts will soon be able to see these cultivars come to life, with Fast Buds promising to share community updates—including photos and videos—of the plants as they progress.

With the release of Kamala OG and Orange President, Fast Buds has managed to merge two seemingly unrelated worlds: politics and cannabis culture. As discussions about cannabis legalization continue to heat up in the political sphere, these strains offer a unique way to engage with the conversation while enjoying the high-quality genetics that Fast Buds is known for.
