The press release said that after being introduced to BFF products, Nicholson found they aided in calming his anxiety, allowing him to remain focused on his acting. The new strain, named for the actor and musician, was exclusively pheno-hunted to incorporate terpenes limonene and caryophyllene, which are associated with calm and relaxation, aimed at easing anxiety and stress. The Phonzie will hit California retail stores later this month.

"I'm a huge fan of sativa-dominate hybrids that still have a slight indica feel," says J. Alphonse Nicholson in the press release. "Chris and his team cultivated exactly what I wanted.
"From the nose to the structure The Phonzie is truly a beautiful strain. Its smooth taste gives you an excellent high that allows you to move throughout your day calm and relaxed, feeling energized and not heavy."
The release noted that Nicholson, who has dealt with anxiety his entire life, found respite from the day-to-day grind in Ball Family Farms' terpene-rich cannabis. The Phonzie, a cross between Bruce Leroy and Laura Charles, tastes like Skittles and cream and smells like a fruit basket. This release adds that the strain gives off relaxed, calm vibes with a bit of energy, allowing you to move throughout your day feeling good. It's very soothing, light, and smooth like the Fonz.
"Without terpenes, you're smoking air," says Chris Ball, CEO of Ball Family Farms, in the release. "The terpenes, flavonoids, and cannabinoids; each element is going to give you a different experience. We try and focus on that here at BFF because the entourage effect is more essential than THC alone for a top-tier product."
