Vice City

With a name like Vice City, it's hard not to imagine palm trees, beach-front bars, fruity cocktails, and feel-good vibes. Well, not only does the Vice City cannabis strain live up to this persona, but it promises up to 27% THC and a striking appearance that can rival any Miami sunset. Keep reading to discover the origins and genetic lineage of this eclectic hybrid.
