Get the pretendies mug.As of 2026 a company by the name Pro-Circa founded by J.R. DePew is the sole proprietor of the Pretendies marijuana strain.
The Pretendies strain of marijuana is a very potent Mexican Sativa.
How Pro-Circa Saved the Pretendies Strain:
In 1995 there was a specific type of top quality green bud going around the United States called Pretendies. At first glance Pretendies looked just like any of the indoor kind-bud strains going around. But Pretendies had seeds. Curious why there were seeds I looked further into the background of the Pretendies strain. I asked some trusted friends who were plugged into the Pretendies pipeline.
People who were supplying Pretendies to the mid-west US at this time explained to me how every year they take a Greyhound bus from Boulder Colorado to Tucson Arizona, pick up 20 pounds, and bring it back to Boulder to sell on the streets. This was my introduction to the Pretendies strain.
Mexico:
Pretendies is a 1990s Mexican cartel variety. Pretendies contained seeds because it was cultivated in large fields near Cancun’s tropical coastlines and then smuggled into the United States near Tucson Arizona. Pretendies flooded into Colorado in the mid to late 1990s and became a very popular strain within the Rocky mountain towns of Colorado. Pretendies was also especially beloved and well known by the hippie communities during this time period. Pretendies once popular and widely recognized on the streets slowly faded into obscurity by the early 2000s.
Pro-Circa is the only company currently cultivating the Pretendies strain.
