## Resource

Nobody knew his name. Now everyone wants his pack. Ron from Elusive has been one of the most quietly influential figures in the Los Angeles cannabis market for years. Growing for some of the biggest names in the game, hunting strains that move markets, and building a facility that cost seven figures to get right. This is the full story and it has never been told like this before. From buying a dispensary with fake paperwork, getting robbed by the same two cops every single month, blowing the power on a seven figure rebuild, to paying fifty thousand dollars for a single cut that changed everything. Ron has been through every version of this industry and came out the other side with one of the most respected brands in Los Angeles. Subscribe to First Smoke of the Day for weekly cannabis culture, growing conversations, strain drops and the realest voices in the industry. Hosted on Acast.
