Don and Aaron, two friends from Los Angeles, moved to Amsterdam in the early 2000s to start a seed bank and develop medical varieties from the elite kush clones of Southern California. With them Don and Aaron brought many of LA’s finest, including the Affie, several cuts of OG Kush, Master Kush, Bubba Kush, etc. It was a brilliant idea at precisely the right time. The California medical cannabis scene was starting to generate buzz for its extraordinary genetics. Dispensaries in West Hollywood were getting $125 for an eighth (3.5 grams) of their best Pure Kush. It was a bubble, and a relatively short-lived one. But the hype of that bubble survived the crash. And the varieties that became famous stayed famous, partially thanks to hip-hop anthems which sang the praises of OG) and Sour Diesel. Don and Aaron’s first big project was to try to re-create the Affie for the seed market, at a time when it was the toughest clone variety to acquire in Los Angeles. The result was an Affie × Afghani cross called LA Confidential. In 2004, they took third place in the indica division of the High Times Cannabis Cup. It was the highest award received by a new seed company in many years. The following year they took second place in the Indica Cup with LA Con.
