What happens when 27 men judge 27 dabs? I found out at the 2018 Ego Clash Invitational!
Sebastian at BA Botanicals invited me to attend this Mendocino County event. Ego Clash Invitational is invite-only for the industry’s leading producers and processors. What sets this event apart from others is the judging. Every person who enters becomes a judge, then you judge everyone’s product along with your own.
The new year means new experiences. Lucky for me, Grown Rogue has strains for all of them. I recently toured this fabulous indoor facility and their outdoor farm, for a first-hand look at how Oregon is going rogue with Grown Rogue.
Grown Rogue is a self-described “seed-to-experience” company focused on the environment, community and education. All their products are Clean Green Certified, and the team only uses sustainable, organic-based practices. Genetics are also Phylos Certified (something I didn’t know about until recently), which provides a genetic library to thousands of cultivators.
What happens when two of the cannabis industry's top accessory lines combine? The result is pure gold, with Blunted Objects' ASCHE Industries collaboration.
The all gold four-piece collection is where fashion and function combine. The products are a perfect blend of Blunted Objects' bold leaves with ASCHE's dainty designs. Whether it's a high quality grinder necklace or gold leaf lighter cover, these ladies took cannabis accessories to a luxury level.
Sure I’m wearing all black for Black Friday, but I keep it green with Creatures of the Wind. I fell in love with their recent Capsule Collection after seeing it at Marley Natural’s colette pop-up in Paris.
Shane Gabier and Chris Peters of Creatures of the Wind created the line in conjunction with System magazine’s weed issue. Vintage shirts, sweatshirts and jackets feature hand-drawn cannabis embroidery. When I saw this one-of-a-kind USA shirt, I knew it was a match made in fashion heaven.
Happy Stoney Sunday! How do you wake and bake? If you're me, it involves a morning smoke sesh in Triangl swimwear with Arielle Levy.
I had the opportunity to work with Arielle during my last trip to California. She's an amazing fashion and lifestyle photographer in the San Diego area. So what does one wear when rolling out of bed and rolling up joints? I threw on this orange bikini by Triangl swimwear and one of my favorite jackets by Vintage Redeux. Glasses provided by Arielle.
Brittanie and I sampled the CBD cocktails at Gracias Madre in West Hollywood to celebrate my 30th birthday. Why not order a drink for every decade of friendship?
We unintentionally started with the Stoney Negroni. I thought I ordered us “the weed leaf” drinks. Alas, the combination of gin, vermouth and Amaro provided a perfect combination of bitter meets sweet. An orange peel with the imprint “puff, puff, pass” added a subtle citrus kick.
For today’s Trichome Tuesday I want to feature a chunky, frosty, fat purple nug by Private Reserve. Behold, the beautiful Chunk Dawg!
While I’m usually a sativa sista, I couldn’t resist this indica hybrid of Mendo Purps and San Fernando Valley OG Kush. These dense buds have a sweet grape aroma and deep purple color (we see you Mendo Purps!). I also tasted notes of lemon and pine, likely from the SFV OG.
Puff, puff, pass! Last week I swam around Seattle in Pink+Dolphin with Hollis Porter, but you might know him as @bokeh.rang.
We started at one of Hollis’ favorite spots in West Seattle. The I-beams didn’t seem so scary, until I started smoking. The thought of falling in the frigid Sound didn’t, well, sound too exciting.
Morning, noon and night — cannabis consumers love Sunset Sherbet. With its top shelf genetics and potent effects, Private Reserve’s indica-dominant hybrid is an i502 favorite.
Sunset Sherbet is the byproduct of Girl Scout Cookies (OG Kush x Cherry Pie x Durban Poison) and Pink Panties. Effects include a full-body high with jolts of cerebral energy.
At last, a CHRMD by Sarah x Cannabess reunion! I haven’t seen my best friend Sarah since November 2014. When I heard she’d be in LA, I booked a flight for an epic nail-slash-smoke-sesh.
Sarah isn’t just my best friend, she’s also the most talented nail artist I know. She did Katy Perry’s nails for the 2017 Met Gala and Vogue recently called her work “the most extreme nail art yet.”
