This young red vine is originally from Terence McKenna's farm in Hawaii and it continues to flourish in his memory today at the farm adjacent to his. Before Terence passed in early 2000, he gifted this strain to the person who continutes to grow this unique strain today. This vine is easier to shred than mature vine, but contains the same active components that has made this vine so famous, and is about pencil-thick.
