Megatron's (Calvin Johnson Jr.'s) Favorite Michigan Grown Cannabis Flower

When you’ve spent your career pushing your body to the limit, you learn pretty quickly what works (and what doesn’t) when it comes to recovery. That’s why Calvin Johnson Jr., aka Megatron, is intentional about the cannabis he consumes. As a co-founder of Primitiv and a Michigan resident, Calvin knows the importance of locally grown, high-quality flower that delivers both relief and performance support.

Keep reading as we break down some of Calvin’s personal favorite Michigan-grown brands and strains, and why they’ve earned a permanent place in his rotation. If you’re looking for flower that works as hard as you do, this list is a great place to start.

Primitiv

Founded by former NFL teammates Calvin Johnson Jr. and Rob Sims, Primitiv was built with a mission to deliver plant-based wellness backed by science, integrity, and live experience. Born out of the challenges they faced managing pain and recovery during and after their careers, Primitiv is a movement to destigmatize cannabis in sports, medicine, and everyday wellness. 

Every product is carefully selected and tested to meet high standards for quality, consistency, and effect.

Megatron’s Recs: 

  • Dirty Kush. This bold, body-focused strain delivers deep relaxation with an earthy, gassy flavor. Known for dense buds and a pungent aroma, it reflects its indica-dominant roots. Megatron turns to it for unwinding after a long day or easing physical discomfort. The effects hit steadily, calming your mind, loosening your body, and settling you into a mellow state without overwhelming sedation.
  • Purple Runtz. The sweet, candy-like aroma and deep purple hues make it a sensory standout, but it’s the calming yet clear-headed high that keeps this one in rotation. For someone constantly balancing recovery and performance like Megatron, Purple Runtz offers just the right mix of body relief and mental clarity.

Society C

Society C has made a name for itself through crafting premium cannabis products that consistently deliver on flavor, potency, and effect. Their flower is meticulously grown and carefully selected to showcase distinct terpene profiles and smooth, balanced experiences for relaxation, focus, or functional relief. 

With multiple award-winning strains in their lineup, Society C has earned a reputation for top-shelf quality and consistency.

Megatron’s Recs: 

  • Glitter Bomb. This is a visually striking, terpene-rich strain that lives up to its name with vibrant trichomes and explosive flavor. Megatron loves the balanced, euphoric high that starts with a bright mental lift before settling into a smooth, calming body buzz, as well as the notes of sweet berries, gas, and a hint of funk. Great for social settings or creative focus, Glitter Bomb hits with just the right mix of energy and ease.
  • Gastro Pop. With its loud flavor profile and deep, stoney effects, this strain hits hard and lasts long. Megatron appreciates strains that help quiet the mind and ease physical tension, and Gastro Pop checks both boxes while still delivering a unique flavor experience that stands out from the rest.

Seed Junky Genetics

Seed Junky Genetics is the definition of legacy meets innovation. Seed Junky began in a Southern California garage in the early 2000s. Founder JBeezy started with a passion for cultivation and pheno-hunting. That passion grew into one of the most influential cannabis breeding operations in the industry. 

With iconic strains like Ice Cream Cake, Wedding Cake, Kush Mints, Jealousy, and The Soap, Seed Junky has helped shape today’s cannabis landscape.

Megatron’s Recs: 

  • Permanent Marker. This hybrid combines intense flavor, eye-catching bag appeal, and powerful effects into one unforgettable strain. Megratron keeps it in his rotation for its gassy, floral, and slightly soapy terpene profile has hints of sweetness layered beneath the bold aroma. The high is equally dynamic, starting with a euphoric, heady lift that gradually melts into full-body relaxation.
  • Bubble Gum Sherb. When Megatron is looking for something a little sweeter and laidback, this strain is the one. With its nostalgic flavor and smooth, mellow effects, this strain helps him stay grounded and relaxed in a balanced way. It’s the kind of flower that’s perfect for a chill evening, low-key recovery days, or enjoying the moment.
