Joint Doctor’s Lowryder: a genetic legend.

The creation of Lowryder has been a lengthy process. Lowryder came out of a desire to breed innovative cannabis seeds, coupled with the limitations presented by confined spaces (and time) in often-changing locations, both indoor and out. Growing up on a farm, the Joint Doctor took an early interest in marijuana cultivation. Taking a stash of seeds with him to college, he supplied his hobby by growing small plants in his dorm room and the adjacent woodlot. These “extra-curricular” activities, in time, turned out to be the beginning of a lengthy and illustrious career in cannabis research.

Later, while traveling, the Joint Doctor visited ganja plantations, studied wild patches of marijuana, ogled at towering hemp fields, and even took an interest in ornamental hemp, learning a great deal about the incredible diversity of this species. He soon became convinced that nearly anything is possible in the cannabis-breeding sector. To create new, better varieties, he reasoned, all that was needed was some diverse sources of high-quality genetics, a keen eye for observation, lots of time and patience, and as it turns out, a bit of luck.

Great things come in small packages.

The Joint Doctor writes, “I have always been attracted to novel and unusual characteristics in plants. Living on a farm, I started playing around with unusual varieties of food crops with seeds brought from exotic places at about the same time I started experimenting with cannabis - over 20 years ago. Later on, I attempted to create smaller strains of cannabis for myself, to grow in small spaces, using unrelated genetics. I think that making the most of small spaces is a strong recurring theme, especially in Europe. At one point during my travels, I visited a friend whose family lived in a typically small and cramped working-class apartment. The previous summer, when I had first stopped by to visit, I turned his open-minded mom on to her first taste of marijuana – totally unprejudiced, she was immediately taken by the weed’s euphoric effects, exclaiming, ‘I like this better than vodka!’”
