SR 71

SR 71 is Oakland cannabis history in flower form — a pure indica cut that surfaced from the SR-71 dispensary in Oaksterdam, the downtown district that defined California's early medical era. Named after the shop that opened in 2003 (later renamed Blue Sky), the genetics trace back to Hindu Kush x Purple Afghani, delivering the kind of Afghan heavy power that fueled the West Coast's purple reputation. Some credit Trichome Technologies' grower "K" with first calling it Ultraviolet before SR-71 popularized the name. Whatever the origin, the cut circulated as a clone only legend, loved for its potency and unmistakable purple profile. The aroma stacks earthy sandalwood, grape sweetness, and a touch of pine, while the smoke blends hashy Kush depth with a candy grape finish. Smokers describe SR 71 as deeply physical, euphoric, and long lasting. It hits behind the eyes, settles into the body, and keeps stress out of the picture. Higher doses lean sedative, while moderate sessions leave you blissed but not buried. SR 71 is pure indica tradition — heavy, calming, and still one of NorCal's most respected cuts.
