In my latest foray into the Missouri recreational market, I had the unique opportunity to explore Purple #43, a creation from the esteemed Local Cannabis. This venture marked my fourth encounter with Local’s offerings, each of which has consistently raised the bar in terms of quality and experience. The intriguing aspect of my journey with Local started with Orange #43, a key forebear to Purple #43. Their intertwined lineage is why they share the number 43. Purple #43, a sativa-leaning hybrid, is the offspring of the distinguished Orange #43 and Ice Cream Cake.
After speaking with Tyler Pugh, Local’s chief operating officer, I learned some details about Purple #43 that really set it apart. Pugh informed me, “Purple #43’s unique blend of terpenes produces a variety of scents, combining notes of citrus, fuel and cream. It’s particularly known for its intense resin and oil production, leading to potent and long-lasting effects. … The experience begins with a burst of energy and then smoothly transitions into a state of serene euphoria. Despite its indica roots, Purple #43 primarily shows sativa-like characteristics.”
