Penis Envy
From McKenna's Amazonian collection, developed by Steven Pollock 1970s
High potency Lab-tested Advanced to grow
The most famous high-potency cubensis. Consistently 1.5-2x average potency in lab analyses. Deeply introspective with strong body load. Poor spore dropper — usually cloned. NOT for beginners.
