Another response from Berkley Bio over FB: Thank

I wish I had a seed bank with all the strains. I was referring to all of the strains that have been identified and listed by all the different seedbanks.

Interesting that you mention the mystery oil. I think that you are referring to extractions done with CO2, nitrogen and the like. In truth, many people dwell on the technology used to do the initial extraction from the plant, as opposed to the refinement and purification done after the initial extraction. If one is going to just do an initial extraction, a better product is created using non-butane methods. However, if care and effort is used to clean up the oil after it has been extracted, it matters little what initial solvent is used.

You ask about the guys I work with. I work with Art almost every day on different things. Kevin and Jeff work on the business aspects, which I have very little to do with.

I can tell you this about our team, though. Every one of us is committed to see this develop into a powerful ongoing company, garnering a substantial chunk of the emerging world market for cannabis. We have everything to do this at our disposal, and anyone observing what we have done thus far should feel competent that we are in this for the duration.

We have made great progress with our concentrates lately, and are nearing the end phases of what I believe will be the "game changer" you mention.

You are correct on the landrace term. It refers to the original strains which gave birth to all the new strains. Old favorites such as Panama Red, Acapulco Gold, Lake Chapala Colitas, even the famed Skunk #1, which probably now qualifies as a landrace strain itself, even though it was the first "official" work of breeders, winning the very first High Times cannabis cup.

Let me add one more thing. Sovereign, like virtually every endeavor which has offered services or products to dispensaries, has "flown under the radar" until last week, for obvious reasons. Like many companies in this arena, they did everything they could do to remain within state law, which is why a search will find some sort of business entity tied to them, but a bare minimum of promotion and publicity. The concept that one can do a google search for a company that had to remain 'underground' , and base one's opinions of the company on what they find on the internet, is a bit skewed. Anyone in the mmj world in California is quite familiar with Sovereign OG, and, like me, find it to be an extremely worthy accomplishment.
