Nikki Lastreto and Swami Chaitanya

Swami Select SPC

Swami and Nikki have had a love affair with cannabis since the late 1960s. From Swami’s first crop in San Francisco in 1978 and on to world travels where we observed it being grown in various places, we have always known it to be medicine for the body, mind and spirit. We now live in northern Mendocino County, the heart of the Emerald Triangle, where we consciously cultivate it legally with great pride, devoted care and lots of love.
