Memorable Quotes "This is a plant that I'm super passionate about.""Don't you understand that some of the best genetics in the game are going to be testing sub 25%? And that there's also this whole other thing called the entourage effect involved here. That definitely has an effect on this cerebral experience with consuming the product.""We're more on like the regional wine or like a Sierra Nevada beer space rather than a Budweiser, still a gigantic brand and they've done very well, staying true to themselves."Connect with Fog City Farms
