Jef Tek’s Tribute Strain: Afghani Bullrider
Bullrider gets its name from Afghani Bullrider, a high-mycrene cannabis strain engineered by master grower Jef Tek. Above all, 40 credits the strain’s ability to help manage symptoms related to his journey with multiple sclerosis.
“My involvement with Bullrider stems from the urge to help consumers access high-grade strains with the same recreational therapeutic benefits that I’ve been able to enjoy. It’s not just another cannabis brand, Bullrider has a deep reverence for quality cannabis and its medicinal properties which I’ve always been extremely passionate about.”
Noah “40” Shebib
Jef Tek has a long work history inside and outside of the cannabis industry. For instance, among other jobs he was a cannabis writer before a cannabis grower. Above all, Jef’s journey in cannabis stems from his love for the plant and late wife and medicinal cannabis activist, Michelle Rainey.
