A new episode of Cannabis UNKNOWN every Wednesday!
Bubble hash, ice water hash, Afghani hash, Moroccan hash . . . the names are many, but hash itself is actually quite simple.

https://youtu.be/-8SZ2WWQkSY It may not look like it, but I actually pay attention to branding, and not just in the cannabis industry. At first I hated it, because whilst working at an unnamed major software/gaming company, I felt like our "brand" was one of my biggest restrictions to my creative-based job. The other companies I worked... Continue Reading →
https://youtu.be/h673J_hc958 I believe it was Biggie Smalls who said, “More money, more problems”. But I also believe it was Malcolm Forbes who said, “Money may create more problems, but I highly encourage you to take them on”.

Personally, it's always been about the spiritual benefits of cannabis, not the medical effects of marijuana for me. So I guess you could qualify me as a "recreational" marijuana user. But I consider peace of mind and expanded capacity to love to be... Continue Reading →
https://youtu.be/CtLKehLcD2I There's an old cliché in business, during a gold rush you should be selling picks and axes. There's a reason why it's a cliché. It actually happened. Ever heard of Levi Strauss? He made money during the California Gold Rush, but he didn’t make it by getting dirty. Levi sold supplies and unless you’ve... Continue Reading →
