Strain Spotlight — Kraken Black Pepper by Western Cultured

December 2, 2015

Feel Spicy with Kraken Black Pepper

Kraken Black Pepper by Western Cultured marks my first time growing the cannabis classic — Girl Scout Cookies. With its rich, peppery aroma, there’s no surprise how this strain got its appropriate name. If you like the Cookies lineage, you’ll want to add this to your lineup.

I know what you’re thinking. Why rename a classic? Well for starters, Kraken Black Pepper is a cross between two classics, Girl Scout Cookies and OG Kush. Additionally, despite the popular genetics, many companies have chosen to rename or cross their GSC strains in order to prevent lawsuits from Girl Scouts of America.

Boots, Buds and Vance Creek Bridge

October 19, 2015

Fifty pairs of boots, thirty vintage jackets, eight half-gram joints, four models, two outfits each and one northwest bridge went into last Friday’s photo adventure. Western Cultured collaborated with Fauxy Furr Vintage to shoot its first ever editorial at Vance Creek Bridge.

Fauxy Furr Vintage specializes in boots, furs and wool jackets. The company started in 2005 as a resale booth at local markets and expanded nationwide thanks to Etsy. Chrysta Colebourn, founder, describes Fauxy Furr Vintage as, “boho meets glam.”

High at Mount Pilchuck

September 8, 2015

Last night the Western Cultured crew hiked Mount Pilchuck to watch the super moon eclipse. This hike has been on our radar, so what better location to watch an eclipse rise?

Mount Pilchuck is a stunning hike. The geology, pun intended, rocks. Leaves have started to turn orange, adding pops of color to an otherwise green trail. The elevation isn't realized until you come around the last bend and see granite cliffs. Even still, we pushed the envelope and climbed to the furthest peak, unsure if the pit in our stomachs was vertigo or a strong connection to mother nature.

La Push it Real Good

August 22, 2015

La Push, Wash. is so remote, we went three days without cell reception. This allowed for long talks, late nights, afternoon hikes, sunset surfs and smoking a ton of Western Cultured pre-rolls. When you're off the grid, you get to know people.

We spent our days lounging at Second Beach and Third Beach. Large driftwood warmed by the sun was perfect for naps. When the guys weren't catching waves, they were catching fish, which fed our crew both nights. We built a massive bonfire, danced, watched the stars and felt appreciative for moments like these.

Slightly Stoopid and Stick Figure at Marymoor Park

August 5, 2015

Smokin’ Love, Collie Man, Fat Spliffs and Burning Ocean — if you listen to reggae, you’re no stranger to these classics. Two of my favorite bands, Stick Figure and Slightly Stoopid, performed at Marymoor Park last night, and Western Cultured gave both bands a very northwest welcome, with bags of SeaTown Lemon Haze.

Stick Figure opened the show. My cousin K-Bong crushed it on the keyboard, Kevin jammed on bass and Kyle, from Slightly Stoopid, joined the Scott for a duet. The crowd sang K-Bong happy birthday, since he turned 30 a few days before. No Stick Figure concert is complete without an appearance from Cocoa the Tour Dog, who happily lounged on stage.

Cannabess Hikes Lake Blanca

July 6, 2015
lake blanca

While most people recover after Independence Day, I hit the trail to hike Lake Blanca. This blue beauty has been on my bucket list and nothing, not even a patriotic hangover, could hold me back.

I arrived at the trailhead around 9 AM and temperatures already topped the 80's. The 3300-foot incline felt like forever. Sweat dripped into my eyes. I pushed onward, encouraged others and eventually made trail friends with some equally hungover hikers.

Whidbey Island for Western Cultured

June 1, 2015

Here’s to the peaks and valleys, friends both new and old, long hikes and late nights, big talk and small talk, and the adventures that lie ahead. For whatever is up next we’ll be there to light up the moment. Enjoy the finest craft flower, cultured in the land where it all began.

The Western Cultured crew spent Thursday evening on Whidbey Island. We grilled oysters, roasted marshmellows, played fetch with the dogs, took over five hundred photos, smoked joint after joint and made unforgettable memories.

Strain Spotlight — Super Lemon Haze by Western Cultured

May 27, 2015

If you could only smoke one strain for the rest of your life, what strain would you choose? For me, I’d pick something energizing, citrus flavored and filled with aroma. Is your mouth watering yet? Mine is for Super Lemon Haze by Western Cultured!

Super Lemon Haze, also dubbed SLH, is a classic sativa. This strain is widely known for its popular genetics, Super Silver Haze crossed with Lemon Skunk. Any good SLH will have a strong lemon aroma when you open the bag.

    What happens when engineers smoke pot? They automa What happens when engineers smoke pot? They automate the perfect infused pre-roll!

@piccplatform’s process is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. The ground full-flower goes down a conveyer belt, gets weighed, then put into a cone. Air is puffed into the cone so flower is evenly distributed. Next, the cone is packed and punched with what’s dubbed the “hash hole.” Then the pre-roll moves down the belt to be infused with high quality extracts like hash rosin or liquid diamond sauce. Finally it’s packaged and sealed, so it can be sent to your favorite i502 retailer.

The time and engineering Picc spent to perfect the pre-roll is not only mind blowing, but worth it. I’ve smoked more of these than I can count and every single one has the same even burn, delicious flavor and hard hitting high.

Want to see what their team is working on next? Head to my stories to see their new Hydra machine, which is getting a few final tweaks before heading to their production facility!

Have you ever seen a pre-roll process like this? How many people and how many years do you think it took to design their machine? 🍁🤯⚙️ #cannabess

#TBT to this amazing outdoor tub sesh. I smoke in a lot of scenic spots but this is definitely one for the books. I’ve had this location saved for several years, so to kick back, relax and light up in the rain felt like a dream.

Where’s a smoke spot on your bucket list? 🍁🛀🏼💨 #Cannabess

    Walking into the weekend with a little help from Walking into the weekend with a little help  from  @bodhi.high.extracts!

It might be spring, but it certainly feels like summer with temps in the upper 90s, which made me think of this shoot we did last year. It was (no joke) 115 on the day we shot this, and by the time we got to our location it was still 106 outside. I couldn’t stop sweating! 

So here’s a fun flashback because who doesn’t love #FashionFriday? Have a wonderful weekend and let me know where you’re smoking, vaping or dabbing. I’ll be on the river paddling around with my mom! ☀️💨 #cannabess

    How our Cabo trips started versus how they go afte How our Cabo trips started versus how they go after getting into the industry:

Photo 1 - Taken in 2006 when I thought my mom was sleeping. This turned out to be my first pipe purchase.

Photo 2 - Taken in 2019 wearing one of my favorite swimwear brands, @seaqueenswim, and puffing clouds with the help of @vessel_brand.

Talk about an evolution in both my swimwear and cannabis consumption! Do you ever look back at old photos just to see how far you’ve come? Seeing the first photo always gives me a laugh. Never in a million years would I (or my mom) guess I’d eventually work in weed! 🍁😂👙 #Cannabess

    COVID is officially over. Last month President Bid COVID is officially over. Last month President Biden signed a resolution to terminate the national emergency and days ago the @WHO declared an end to the global health emergency. After three years it’s beginning to look like life before COVID, but for many people life has changed forever. I’m one of those people.

You might’ve noticed a decrease in the frequency of my content and there’s a reason for that. The pandemic and subsequent erosion of freedom made me feel like I need to use my voice for more. I set a goal to get at least one paid gig in the political realm and it turned out to be so much more. In September 2021, I expanded from pot to politics and joined the team at @reasonmagazine.

Reason advocates for free minds and free markets. They cover topics including the drug war, criminal justice, school choice, government, spending, sex work, crypto, free speech and more. If you’ve become disillusioned by the duopoly I highly recommend you check out their site.

So thank you Reason for the work you do. Thank you for helping me find my tribe when I needed it most. Thank you for trusting me with your platforms and allowing me the creative freedom to grow our libertarian audience.

But there’s one more group I also must thank: The liberals, socialists and communists who perpetuate cancel culture. Not only did you (once again) fail to take down my career, you unintentionally helped increase my income. The pandemic is over, my COVID predictions came true and brands are still working with me. So thank you!

    It’s not a time warp, just a very groovy smoke s It’s not a time warp, just a very groovy smoke sesh with @budmasterblunts!

I am constantly stuffing cones, so when Budmaster asked if I wanted to try their terpene-infused wraps and cones, I couldn’t wait to puff, puff, pass the Blue Dream.

These cones add a subtle flavor to your flower but what stands out most is how slow they burn. I felt like this joint burned FOR-EV-ER. They’re perfect for photo shoots, solo smoke sessions or if you want to share with friends.

Budmaster’s organic papers are made with all natural ingredients, like chamomile leaves, and are tobacco and nicotine free. They’re such a game changer from what I used to smoke in college. So while our shoot might look like we’re stepping back in time, Budmaster’s papers are a major leap forward for rolling and stuffing technology.

Tap the link in bio to read more about our 60s-inspired shoot then head to my stories for a link to shop. Now the real question: Are you team Blue Dream or Purple Punch? 💜🍁💙 #Cannabess

    #TBT to the 2023 Craft Cup! I always love industry #TBT to the 2023 Craft Cup! I always love industry events, but this one holds a special place in my heart.

I’m a strong supporter of sungrown and craft farms, so to have this many brands I love in one location is a treat. Sungrown and craft farms are not only more sustainable, they are often small or family run businesses. These are the people who touch the plant from seed to sale. They’re also most impacted by erroneous government policies which do more harm than good. I believe you vote with your dollar, which is why I like giving mine to these farms.

Beyond the businesses, the 2023 Craft Cup was filled with so many smiling faces, some I haven’t seen since pre-pandemic. It was a wonderful day to connect with the community and served as a reminder why I’m here. I’m thankful to be in an industry with so many lovely humans and I look forward to future events. Thanks to the @washsungrown team for having me shoot and everyone I connected with at the Cup! 📸🙏🏼🏆

    Happy #EarthDay! Our planet is pretty dope. Natur Happy #EarthDay!

Our planet is pretty dope. Nature is without a doubt my favorite place to enjoy this plant. From vibrant teal rivers to rocky mountain peaks, and scalding hot springs to open meadows, something about herb makes me appreciate Mother Nature even more. So have an excellent environmental day, but remember to care for the planet the other 364 too. 

Where’s your favorite spot for a nature sesh? 🌲🌎⛰️ #cannabess

    Happy 4/20! I hope everyone has the highest of hol Happy 4/20! I hope everyone has the highest of holidays. 

Whether c@nn@b!$ is a side hobby or a full-time hustle, you are welcome and wanted in this space. I think back to celebrating 4/20 before legalization and the evolution of this industry still blows me away. I look forward to celebrating all weekend long and will be back in Washington to partake in a few events. What does your 4/20 look like and what’s everyone consuming? 🌿🙌🏼💚 #cannabess
