Who are the Jungle Boys?

The Jungle Boys are a group of farmers affiliated with the Group TLC. Market pioneers active since 2005—well before legalization—they are brilliant breeders who love the plant and are committed to sharing their 13 years of expertise with newcomers. They offer consulting services to support new cannabis companies emerging as legalization takes hold. The Jungle Boys are leaders in cultivation, and their products are branded with a design that embodies the Californian spirit.

Culture and Business

Based in Los Angeles, the TLC collective's installations include Jungle Boys who is in charge of the crop, Oil Refinery which processes the plant into concentrates and Juice Rosin that handles the rosin. This enables them to offer a wide range of products homemade. The plants are grown by hand, and special care is taken with each one. For example, the team takes the time to let their weed dry for 14 to 16 days.

The Jungle Boys are particularly known for growing high-quality varieties including some market stars that need no introduction, such as the Girl Scout Cookies, made in California, the Gelato, the OG Skywalker. These varieties are the "first steps" for breeders and a must-have for connoisseurs, and serve as the foundation for creating new varieties, some of which have won the High Times Cannabis Cup.

The Jungle Boys are also known for creating their own strains, such as the line Exotiks created in collaboration with rapper Berner. Their latest product line includes the Jungle Cake, the Strawberry Shortcake and the Wedding Cake which easily exceed 25% of THC: «This strain is a beast,» says Ivan, a representative of the TLC Collective. Featured in SmokeBox, he counts it among his favorites along with the Sunday Driver. «We have more than 550 varieties in our collection. A large portion of them are seeds that we develop ourselves. That’s what sets us apart from others (…) We have many of our own varieties, and we collaborate with many different breeders.».

Their reputation extends far beyond California. In Las Vegas, the dispensary Reef Dispensaries, known for marketing the variety created by Wiz Khalifa, has reached an agreement with them. The Vegas dispensary chain will receive seeds and cuttings so it can grow its own products Jungle Boys. The TLC collective also started out as a dispensary and will transition into a retail store in accordance with California’s regulations governing the recreational cannabis industry. Rumor has it that some of their batches are even making their way to Europe!
