Intros Hello from Bullrider

[Bullrider]

Hey all,
Thought it was only right to introduce myself before jumping into the forums…

I’m G, and I’m one of the people responsible for bringing Bullrider to patients in the UK from Canada. I’ve been following conversations around Afghani Bullrider, and wanted to be transparent about that from day one.

I’m a big fan of what the MedBud team have built and I know this is a patient-first space, so I want to be respectful of that from the outset. I’m not here to spam the forum or push brand hype. Just here to listen, learn, answer questions where helpful, and better understand honest patient feedback!

Looking fwd to being part of the conversation!

Welcome G and respect. Been a big fan of canadian canna culture and the activism people like jeff n michelle had done to get it where it is at the moment. Always wanted to try bullrider and afghani bullrider as they are legendary strains.
Bullrider said to be g13 skunk1 looking at pine but terpinolene maybe g13 haze but rumoured to be hawaiian haze x to a very frosty afghan#1 male to make afghani bullrider.
There will be two types of markets here in a way , one following hype cali strains that can dictate price and popularity and old skool bc bud medicinal strains i see this will fall into a bc medicinal old skool type even though originating in us thats the way i see it.

Strains like this needs to be set apart and appreciated as a good medicine its just the terpinolene in the profile makes people compare it to uk street haze like amnesia and coin the term HAZEGATE . I think that terpene will dictate how fast it moves and price but hopefully a few old skool heads appreciate it for what it is and not just a haze compared to cookies.

If Mamedica® stock it will try but price would be an issue as on the top end of budget and market.

Edit- just noticed price is £6.95 n not £89 which is alot better obv depending on IPS quality and hopefully a terpene COA to reveal its Sativa influence from terpinolene cos thats why patients say HAZEGATE as they couldnt see terp influence!!

You know your stuff - and appreciate you shouting out Jeff and Michelle. Noah "40" Shebib (Founder and Owner of Bullrider) worked with Jeff Tek for several years to breed the truest expression of Afghani Bullrider, specifically for patients in Canada and now the UK.

Given its history and how it was used by Noah and others, Afghani Bullrider will definitely fall under the medicinal old skool vs cali-hype.

Let me see what I can do about getting my hands on the terp COA and analysis. I will definitely reply back and share here if I can. Will keep you posted.

Thanks for putting me onto HAZEGATE haha. I heard about it in one of the YT analysis vids and was like "Afghani Bullrider is definitely not a haze", but def interesting to hear about the correlation between hazegate and certain terpenes like terpinolene.

Great to see you on the forums @Bullrider, I've just marked your account as an official company representative.

Incidentally I grabbed 10g of the latest batch from IPS - and it's quickly become my go-to day-time med. I will grab more.

Obviously the strain's lineage is somewhat legendary, but to me, it comes across as some kinda Blueberry x Skunk #1 cross, definitely has classic traits of south asian landrace Indicas, but also fruity undertones that kinda remind me of Blue Cheese a little, but more kushy, and less gassy.

I don't pick up on anything hazey in the strain whatsoever, it's something I typically avoid.

Afghani Bullrider will definitely fall under the medicinal old skool vs cali-hype.

100% agree.

Let me see what I can do about getting my hands on the terp COA and analysis. I will definitely reply back and share here if I can. Will keep you posted.

Hugely appreciated, @Tim Henley here prompted me I'd handed over our email thread to him prematurely. It's a bank holiday here today, but I'll check through tomorrow to make sure we'll all up-to-date on information.

Welcome We're keen to see more official company reps on the forum.

Welcome! Good to see you here. I haven't tried this yet, I medicate for pain and insomnia.. and go for a daytime cultivar, an evening and a "knockout" which is becoming hard to find owing to the very unclear and" back back" crossed genetics that are prevalent these days. It didn't review as being particularly sleepy so I left it, I need T28 up GMO-Perm Marker power it seems.

I began my journey with hash in 72 and stayed with it until the quality vanished, had a job where I could visit countries of production - randomly, so I did 70-80s Maroc and the Lebanon several times where I pressed hash with some of the most wonderful people on the planet, old farming families. Tried to get to the Kush area, but was thwarted by tribal fighting, they obviously hadn't been smoking enough.

So I prefer purer genetics if I must use flower, there are a surprising number of patients who crave older cultivars, and I'm pre the soap bar and "cali" decades!

I would like a good solid not messed about with Northern Lights, as well as a Kush that is a Kush, not messed around to add some smell, yield or other quality, a Mazar-i-Sharif type perhaps which is very hashy ofc.

So there's my first shopping list for you!

EDIT - longer flowering to give browner Trichs! That applies to most products. Curing, mostly a disaster for MC too short and just wrong, transportation, takes way way too long partly red tape. If you can do anything about those I'll hug you.

@Muiredach Glad to hear you've had positive experiences with Afghani Bullrider for your day-time-medication. I think you and I discussed this previously, but this is how AB was intended and is similar to many other patient experiences including Noah's.

I'll get you some more clarity on the lineage as well, but it's definitely the original Afghani Bullrider genetics that carried over from the legacy market in Canada to the legal medical/rec markets in Canada and now to the medical market in the UK!

Appreciate what you guys are doing here and you keeping the Afghani Bullrider strain information - and the Bullrider lore - accurate for patients!

Thanks for putting me onto HAZEGATE haha. I heard about it in one of the YT analysis vids and was like "Afghani Bullrider is definitely not a haze", but def interesting to hear about the correlation between hazegate and certain terpenes like terpinolene.

They both done alot of work and global canna community aknowledge n respect. Be interesting to hear the expressions of the regular line fems v the s1s that jeff worked with i bet there was a few recessive combos in there. Yeah i heard about that and being so good for ms and michelles chrons and i think data like that is vital and can cut corners with what conditions been tried n tested for.

The bullrider said to be pure afghan or Indica and x to afgh1 which even more Indica. This bullrider and afghani bull reminds me so much of trainwreck where its a line and not a cut ok arcata and the cut that will become afghani bullrider but i think a line is better.
The pine lemon can intertwine and contribute to a haze profile but it really looks like terpinolene was in bullrider but whos bullrider and i think some afghans inc afghan #1 can have some terpinolene in there , seen it described as a lemon haze but very interested in this profile cos even if terpinolene in there and depending on % its a contributor to fruit profiles in small amounts along with Limonene , my guess terpinolene, Limonene,Myrcene , Pinene maybe in that order.

The hazegate and terpinolene being a main terp was throwing alot of people off so now i hope patients can see terp and decide if to stimulating for them, these were a Sativa up high profile that was labled as Indica but chemotype to me showed Sativa, think growers phenotypes was used instead of chemotype profile but Sativa v Indica is crazy as ye know its stimulating v sedation or terpinolene v Myrcene lol in a way nld v bld now used.

Leafly has terpinolene afghani as main terpene and going by all the strains in the past all turned out to be terpinolene being hazy but i expect an uppy fruity strain as muiredach describes and sounds a nice strain for me.i will ask Mamedica® to stock it.

Hopefully strains like this stay instead of 100 cookie Hybrids.
