Nope... I was going to explain in the intro to Future 86 post lol but since you asked... It was named after a road... In Orange County, NY... The last time I smoked with my father, I was smoking this strain and we were driving on a road that has had a sign on it for like the last 20 years... "Future 86" you know one of those Interstate signs? So this particular road is supposed to be "I-86" sometime in the Future LOL Leave it to NY!!
Future 86 is very near and dear to me because my Father was very sick at the time and was in a Nursing Home... I couldn't move him here to WV due to the doctor in NY saying he wasn't fit for the long road trip. He was a life long toker... up until he got sick and wicked depressed. He had had a few strokes and couldn't walk right anymore. It messed with the part of your brain the controls your balance. Anyway He knew I'd have smoke on me when I went up to see him. I went there and soon as he got a moment alone with me he asks "you bring any doobage?" So after begging the RN to let me take him out.. She had to call the Doc and get "approval"... I load him up in a wheel chair, get him in the car and off we went. We drove around for a few hours, smoked a few Future 86 joints (back then it was called Cream Diesel... I'll explain) and rocked out to some classic rock and some hard rock lol our favorite past times... smoking, driving, and rocking out lol We were on this road "Future 86" and just before that he was telling me how proud he was of me growing my own, having a friend create such a great strain, and raving how good he felt...
This was a guy that had clammed up... was depressed... very short with me. After a few tokes he was soaring and laughing... Singing... It was absolutely AMAZING. I knew at that moment that was going to be the last time we'd ever smoke together again. Bittersweet is not the word... I have to stop now... Water works are starting up...
back to that road... we were driving and coming up the the infamous sign... "Future 86". he looks at it and says "Future 86. That would be a good name for a strain".
that was in October 2012. He went to the Love & Light in January 2013.
That friend he was praising, that created "such a great strain!", is none other than AFN's Own DubV. He created the cross and named it Cream Diesel. I was the first to grow it out... After hearing how my Father had been after he smoked it... and obviously due to my tremendous loss... and in his love for a friend gifted me the strain in my Father's honor. With his blessings I renamed it Future 86 and am going to continue his work in my Dad's honor and now also in Dub's honor for giving us such an incredible gift. It's more than just what he did. It's also a tremendous strain that has potential to help a great many people. and I will continue that journey. In both their names!
Himalayan Blue Diesel x Cream Caramel x Auto AK = Future 86
