Hello fellow cannabis-brethren. Thanks for being patient with me...sorry about the delay in response!! So to address MadSativa...scotisativa90 hit it on the head regarding your question: A4 is the ONLY US Government strain in existence. What does this mean?

#1- It does not even come close to comparing with Armageddon or G-13...A4 is in a class all by itself. It is an F1 phenotype hybrid from an Indica dominant breed (over Sativa...no Ruderalis known to be present). There are some theories that it has the strong sativa-based strain "Grapefruit" in its breed; however, that is simply a theory. What I CAN tell you...A4 is like NO medicinal strain you have seen...nor will you ever. It packs a SERIOUS pain-relief punch (due in GREAT part, to its UBER-powerful anti-inflammatory properties); loosens the body up beyond belief. Unlike most high CBD strains that have a whopping drowsy or "down/sedated" effect, A4 provides ALL that "CBD-relief" while keeping you functional. I like to call it "the best of both worlds."

#2-The records on this one are sealed. I have come into possession of some original documents from that gov't study; PROVING that this strain was bred under the authority of a US Gov't funded contract. Unfortunately, coming across lineage info is about as hard as finding a needle in an acre-sized haystack. When the gov't shut the project down; my partner held onto the strain (per his legal rights under Prop 215/SB 420)...under the condition of a non-disclosure agreement. What he did NOT get to keep was any details on the breeding of the A4 strain. I WILL find out...its only a matter of time!!

#3-A4 is NOT a strain that is available to medical patients...in seed, clone, teen, mother...nada. There is a certain degree of protection we maintain over this strain for VERY specific reasons!! There are a LOT of growers/breeders out there who CLAIM to have A4 and/or CLAIM to sell A4 seeds...unless a patient acquired cured flowers through us (via a broker or direct supply...available at certain CA-clubs), that patient has NOT obtained actual A4. There are WAY too many so-called A4 strains that have floated around the market...there is only ONE real A4. Keep in mind...this strain has been available at numerous clubs over the past 3 years (NorCal and SoCal)...brokered out from my partner.

So...no clones availble. Sorry guys!! What we WILL be offering very soon...a HYBRID of the A4 strain bred with Thailand's oldest F1 strain. This Thai strain has NEVER been available on the US market...its somewhat of a Thai-secret! Testing above 35% THC, this Thai strain will be a perfect way to boost the Sativa-effect of the A4. I will certainly let everyone know once we have it available (and we hope to have clones for patients as well). Please visit me @ facebook.com/EpsilonCo

GREENELEPHANT!! I feel your pain...I spent a great part of my childhood in Hamtramick (Detroit), where my mom grew up. I can only imagine the changes Michigan has faced dealing with maintaining a stable med-cannabis system! Although I cannot source A4 seeds out to you, I CAN point you in the correct direction regarding the proper strain. If you visit me on facebook, please send me a private message describing (if you choose to) your condition. I actually do this for a living: intakes with patients to determine their treatment needs and create a "treatment" plan with the appropriate strains. You MAY want a low THC/high cbd strain...but in all reality, your condition will determine what strain will work best. What I do here at Epsilon is formulate COMBINATIONS of strains to target certain conditions. We've been successful in treating over 3 dozen terminally ill patients to date...so PLEASE; let me try to point you in the right direction!

For any NorCal patient in the Sacramento area...come by ONE LOVE WELLNESS collective (1841 El Camino Ave, Sac) this week: 4/20 through 4/23 from noon-6pm. Epsilon will be there to answer questions about our products and the ever-so-special A4 strain!! This event will be the LARGEST cannabis expo in Sacramento to date: lots of great performers and over 30 top-notch vendors.
