OUTSMOKEN

This weekend was a blast. We connected with @nocturnal_seeds, and we had some of the dopest cultivation conversations in recent memory.  Often peering from perspective of a 🌿🌿 consumer, we found our opinions constantly challenged by someone just as deep in the business of 🌿🌿 , but immersed at the cultivation end! This faded, high energy conversation about the ins and outs of the game went on for hours, so you don't want to miss the next few drops of Outsmoken! 📻📻

.

In today's episode, Nocturnal talks about different ways 🌿🌿 grown outside of the traditional legal infrastructure can enter the recreational market 🌱🌱  It's a fascinating take that made us question the veracity of a lot of what we see on the shelf now! Roll up, Tune in, and let us know what you think! Is he on point? 🤔🤔

@elijah__avery ///  🏖️🏖️ "There are certain spots over here in Long Beach that you can park real close to the shore, and I'll just roll down my windows and I'll smoke and enjoy the presence of the beach, the ocean air, the sound effects, feel the energy of the beach, but I'll be in my safe place, in the whip 🚗🚗  So smoking BY the beach, in the beach parking lot is one of my favorite spots." 

.

.

@donttawktome /// "Mos def, I can appreciate that. I definitely agree, smoking on the beach is SUPER trash because of the wind 🌬️🌬️ so being in an area that's not TOO windy, but you know you can still get it off? you know, that's cool..." 🔥🔥

🤔🤔 Where are your favorite places to sesh? In the car? At the beach? Hiking? A question as old as time, and with so many factors at play, the Green Grinders Club had no choice but to dive into it! Head to your favorite sesh spot, roll up, and tune into this 2 PART epsidode of Outsmoken! Catch both parts only on Anchor.fm/Outsmoken and your favorite Spotify and Apple playlists! 🙏🏿🙏🏿

@donttawktome/// "I believe CBD is legal everywhere, so I can go buy a CBD joint, yknow, out somewhere, Texas, Oklahoma's legalized now, Louisiana, whatever! Mississippi, I can get CBD products out there. And it HAS to be presented differently, because AGAIN, just like being out here,  out here people would say it was legal before it was really legal, but even though we're in this legal market, you still feel that shadow of it being illegal like what we were talking about..." 🚓🚓

.

@elijah__avery/// "very much so, it's the stigma that really kind of carries and sequesters these communities in different spots!" 🏠🏠

.

On today's Outsmoken, the Green Grinders Club discusses the polarization of the 🌿🌿 space. THC and CBD exist in completely different environments, even though they are sourced from the same plant! While many recreation shops have substantial CBD selections, stigma, practice, and slowly-changing social mores keep these worlds apart, so roll up, tune in, and enjoy as we unpack WHY that is. 🙏🏿🙏🏿

@elijah__avery/// "...whatever you wanna do, you name it, and I will pay you well to do that job. What job in the 🌿🌿 industry that I, working for one of the biggest brands in 🌿🌿 , if i wave my magic wand BOOM , you young man, you get a shot in the 🌿🌿🌿🌿 . What would be your shot?"  ⚗️⚗️

.

@donttawktome/// "shooot, CEO MOST DEF... nah i'm just playing--although that would be dope experience, CEO of a big brand like that.... but the one that I would REALLY want would be in cultivation. That's where my heart lies, that's where my interest is."🕴️🕴️

On today's OUTSMOKEN, the Green Grinders Club talks about the different roles available in this emergent industry, and what would be ideal if we had that special "in." You don't want to miss this one! Roll up, Tune in, and let us know what you think! What would be your choice? 📝📝

@elijah__avery/// I don't know if that's true for gorilla glue. I've had gorilla glue at the 25 dollar level, and then I had @inhalence 's And those are 2 DIFFERENT GORILLA GLUES that, while I can tell it was was the "same plant" the same way I can tell that 'this is a tomato and that is a tomato', the difference was like between 'Roma' and 'Beefsteak'. You know what I mean? A different experience! And I prefer.... [equivocates] 🍅🍅

.

@donttawktome/// but what I wanna know is, is that difference ONLY because of the growing conditions, or is because, yknow, as people study this more, you learn about terpene profiles and other stuff. Are those different between them or...? 🤔🤔

.

.

On today's episode, the Green Grinders Club tries to pick apart the particulars on why products with similar names express themselves differently. Strain name in the 🌿🌿 space are sometimes tenuously connected to what their genes are, so roll up, tune in, and let us know what you think! How different are the same strains from different operations? 📝📝

@elijah__avery/// Would you ever buy an $80 eighth?? 💸💸

.

@donttawktome/// Man....I mean.... I can't.... there is....Okay I would, I would definitely do it but it just depends on the circumstances. 🤔🤔

.

@elijah__avery/// What would you need from that 🌿🌿 in order for it to be worth it to you? Because I'ma tell you this, when we went to Cookies, I expected the 🌿🌿 to GLOW, you feel me? I knew I was paying top dollar prices! I came with $200 in my pocket and I was ready to spend every penny. Like I came with high expectations, but I expected so much out of my 🌿🌿 because of that. So I guess my question to you is, if you KNOW off-rip what the 🌿🌿 is gunna cost... EIGHTY DOLLARS, out the door....💸💸

.

@donttawktome/// Man, I want it to just be THE BADDEST THING SITTIN IN THE JAR! 🏺🏺

.

On today's episode of Outsmoken, the Green Grinders Club discusses the viability of 🌿🌿 priced in the luxury bracket. In a world where the average top shelf eighth goes for $60, @connected.california goes above and beyond to set themselves apart at an 80 dollar price point. Tune in and check out the club's reaction to Alien Labs' Creme de Menthe, and let us know what you think! How expensive is TOO expensive? 🙏🏿🙏🏿

@donttawktome/// "With any industry, there's going to be somebody... there's going to be multiple titans, y'know, fighting for the spot! When Coca-Cola came out, there was Pepsi, and now there's all the other brands that fall under the trees of these brands. You can look at McDonald's/Burger King, KFC/Popeyes... 🍗🍗" 

.

@elijah__avery/// "So, so if we're going to say that, then I think that we can already see our answer is that there are only four brands that are reaching out to have that level of expansion that we know exist in other states.  We've got STIIIZY, PLUG N PLAY, shorty at @jungleboys said Treebaseklear, and........😕😕"

DTTM/// "Cookies. 🍪🍪"

The driving forces that are driving brand specific genetics have wider implications for the national 🌿🌿 market. You don't wanna miss this one! Tune in, Roll Up, and let us know what you think! 🙏🏿🙏🏿

@donttawktome/// "I mean is Jungle Boys a brand for the people? yknow. If they keep hearing 'yo, you got Treebaseklear?' Instead of hating on em, which they ARE in a position to do, they're like, 'shoot, let's see if we can get some of that and put it in here.'" 💸💸

.

@elijah__avery/// "but they only keep two different brands on deck.  So the people are only EVER asking for @rawgarden and @treebaseklear? Is it--that's the only two requested brands?? 😕😕

.

@donttawktome/// "Maybe @rawgarden is one that they are cool with and then the other one is what the streets like, essentially. Now, why is there only two? That will go into how they curate their staging and everything..."  📊📊

On today's episode, the Club reflects after a recent trip to @tolucalakecollective on what their limited selection means to the large role they play in the community. You don't want to miss this one. Let us know what you think! 🙏🏿🙏🏿

🔥🔥 Have you ever had flower so good it was UNDENIABLE. That first time we had @Fig.Farms, we had that exact experience. One puff and their Animal Mints BX1 shot to the top of our rankings! With cultivation techniques and genetics being shared much more openly now, getting high quality 🌿🌿 is a breeze. But just because this rising tide has lifted all ships doesn't mean that we don't enjoy riding in the luxury liner! 🚢🚢

On today's episode of Outsmoken, @elijah__avery and @donttawktome reflect on some of the best buds they've ever broken down.

"...like you're JUNGLE BOYS you should always have your shit on deck! that blows my my mind. the biggest brand in Los Angeles doesn't have any flower on deck? that seems almost like a faux pas! "Maybe that's why the line at Cookies is so long.."

On today's episode, we get caught complaining about the lack of bomb 🌿🌿 at our favorite shops lately. Three different experiences over the span of four weeks has the Club wondering if there's issues with the supply chain or if the scarcity is artificial!
