Freeborn Selections basically took the stank of GMO and force-fed it a root beer float until it cried uncle. The result is a genetic mash-up that’s half couch-lock ogre, half creative pixie, and 100% guaranteed to make you smell like you spilled gasoline on a sarsaparilla-soaked carpet.

Medical Uses (a.k.a. Doctor’s Note for Couch Surfing)
