The first thing you might think of when hearing the name of this strain is the immensely talented and energetic drummer from the Beatles, and you wouldn’t be wrong. Ringo Starr was part of an incredible gift to the world of music and culture, and the name of this strain certainly lives up to that image. However, it’s not actually named after him at all, as you’re about to find out.
What is Ringo’s Gift?
Overall, this is a powerful and sought-after strain for its versatility and exceptional effectiveness at satisfying a wide range of needs. The strain is actually named after Lawrence Ringo, a tremendous and tireless contributor and advocate in the CBD and marijuana world. It’s made by crossing ACDC and Harle Tsu, and offers an often-balanced CBD to THC ratio, while being a 60% sativa-leaning hybrid.
With the range of CBD to THC being so varied, it’s easy to see why this strain, with its multiple phenotypes, is a much sought-after strain for its variety of uses and applications.
As for its appearance, the flower looks like mint. It has the same color and a similar size but has the signature brown/orange pistils. The light, airy, popcorn-like buds are pretty standard and spherical. They might seem a little sparse, but properly grown plant will deliver a potent cannabis flower. They’ve a thick, glistening appearance due to the crystal-like coating of the trichomes, as expected with a CBD-rich strain.

Ringo’s Gift: A Crowd Pleaser, Like the Legend Himself
Even though this strain isn’t named after the musician, most of us conjure up the picture of a powerful contributor who changed the world and culture, but is often in the background, in favor of the more public, visible ambassadors to the industry. Powerful, consistent and giving define the musician, the founder of the strain and the strain itself, which is one that is always appealing, and always delivers.
