// Origin
Born in California, bred in Amsterdam. Don Morris and Aaron Yarkoni left the LA underground in 2003 with $200 and an obsession for elite genetics. They settled in Amsterdam — the only legal cannabis marketplace at the time — and founded DNA Genetics in 2004. They brought with them a next-level library of California genetics that the cannabis world had never seen, and immediately began reshaping the global standard for what a top-shelf strain could be.
