While the chefs cook dinner and we work through the Z Olympics LA box, we get into one of the most real conversations about building a brand, why big names fail in Michigan and what it actually takes to make hash worth smoking. We get into why Cookies showed up with wet weed and got sent home. Why only 4 to 5 percent of cannabis on the market is actually top shelf. The post harvest secrets most growers ignore that destroy your hash before you even start washing. How one joint at a Christmas party opened every door Travis ever walked through. And what makes Michigan cannabis culture completely different from anywhere else. This one is for the growers, the rollers and the hashmakers. Subscribe to First Smoke of the Day for weekly cannabis culture and the realest conversations in the game.
