If you keep up with cannabis genetics and trending strains, you already know the names: Gary Payton, RS-11, ATF, Green Crack. These are the cultivars that build hype and move fast when they hit dispensary shelves. Purp Dragon has built their entire brand around growing these popular genetics, and Happy Time Pullman carries 11 of their flower products. For strain chasers on the Palouse, this is where you start.
The Story Behind Purp Dragon
Purp Dragon is a Washington state cannabis brand that has carved out a clear identity in a crowded market: they grow the strains that people are actually searching for. While some producers stick to a handful of house strains year after year, Purp Dragon keeps their finger on the pulse of cannabis culture and brings trending genetics to Washington shelves.
The brand is available at dispensaries across the state, from Seattle to Spokane to the Palouse, and has built shelf space at respected retailers including The Reef Cannabis, Clutch Cannabis, Mr. Greens, Cinder, and now Happy Time. That distribution speaks to consistent quality. Washington dispensary buyers are selective about what they stock, and Purp Dragon has earned their spot by delivering flower with genuine bag appeal and effects that match the genetic reputation.
Purp Dragon's approach is genetics-forward. They source and grow cultivars that have proven track records in the broader cannabis market, then execute the cultivation at a level that does justice to the genetics. The result is flower that looks, smells, and hits the way you expect premium genetics should.

Popular Purp Dragon Strains Worth Trying
The strain lineup is what draws people to Purp Dragon. Here are the heavy hitters to look for at Happy Time Pullman:
Gary Payton
Named after the NBA Hall of Famer, Gary Payton is a balanced hybrid created by crossing The Y (Snowman cut) with Snowman. This strain has won multiple cannabis cup awards, including first place at the 2022 Errl Cup. The terpene profile is led by caryophyllene, limonene, and linalool, delivering a complex flavor that mixes diesel, sweet fruit, and a peppery finish. Effects are balanced between euphoria and relaxation, making it versatile for different times of day. Purp Dragon grows Gary Payton in both 3.5g and 7g jars, and it is consistently their most requested strain.
RS-11
Also known as RS11 or Rainbow Sherbert #11, this strain is a cross of Pink Guava and OZK that took the cannabis world by storm through social media hype and then actually delivered on it. The terpene profile is complex, with limonene, caryophyllene, and myrcene creating a sweet, fruity flavor with candy-like undertones. Effects lean hybrid with a slightly indica finish, perfect for social evenings or creative sessions. RS-11 is one of the most searched strains in cannabis right now, and Purp Dragon's version lives up to the reputation.
ATF (Alaskan Thunder Funk)
A legendary sativa originating from Alaska's Matanuska Valley. ATF is one of those strains that has been around for decades and never lost its appeal. The terpene profile features terpinolene, myrcene, and pinene, producing a spicy, earthy, and slightly sweet flavor with unmistakable sativa energy. Effects are cerebral, focused, and uplifting. ATF is a classic that never goes out of style, and Purp Dragon grows a version worthy of the name.
Green Crack
Originally known as Green Cush, this sativa-dominant strain was famously renamed by Snoop Dogg. Descended from inbred Skunk #1 genetics, Green Crack is all about energy and focus. The terpene profile is dominated by myrcene with supporting terpinolene and pinene, creating a tangy, citrus-forward flavor with tropical notes. This is the strain for mornings, wake-and-bakes, and any situation where you need to be alert and engaged. Perfect for the WSU student who needs motivation for an 8 AM lecture.
Purple Punch
A sweet, sedating indica cross of Larry OG and Granddaddy Purple. Purp Dragon's version delivers the grape candy and blueberry muffin flavors this strain is known for, driven by limonene, caryophyllene, and pinene. Effects are deeply relaxing without being overly heavy, making it a popular nighttime choice.
What Sets Purp Dragon Apart
In cannabis, genetics are only half the equation. Plenty of brands grow Gary Payton or RS-11, but growing them well is a different story. Purp Dragon has earned their reputation by executing the cultivation side at a level that does justice to premium genetics. Their flower consistently delivers on bag appeal (how it looks in the jar), nose (how it smells), and effects (how it hits). That three-way consistency across multiple strains is what builds a brand.
The other advantage is selection. While most brands grow a mix of proven favorites and experimental house strains, Purp Dragon focuses specifically on the strains consumers are actively seeking. They pay attention to what is trending nationally and bring those genetics to Washington. For Pullman shoppers who follow cannabis culture and want access to the same strains making waves in California, Colorado, and beyond, Purp Dragon bridges that gap.
