An Interview With Randy Smith, Erudite CEO Of Sunday Goods

uncaptioned image

The Pharm KING LAWRENCE

There is a deeply mystical air about Randy Smith. He could be meditating on his next amazing thing that he’s postulating on creating from thin air it seems. Is it real estate? Ultra-high end Cannabis? Or is it being a part of something larger, and therefore truly amazing in my view? Sure, he’s on one hundred different levels all at the same time with absolute grasp of all the people, places, things and details, but that’s only a very small part of this highly pragmatic and enthusiastic man. I see him in many different roles, enjoying all their nuances and education. How did I surmise this? Well, from my short time in his presence I learned that Randy is full of boundless excitement and that youthful quality of a ready smile backed up by the kind of person who, in his case you’d want to chill out just and talk about the good old’ Grateful Dead.

My favorite kind of friend is that one never met. And nothing left to do but smile, smile, smile.

Peak Extracts: Tantalizingly Authentic Cannabis Terroir

uncaptioned image

Land Race Strain. Very Exotic and Rare! Lush! WARREN BOBROW: IPHONE X

Peak Extracts Five Ten Cartridge comes filled with some of the most strain specific, terroir authentic cultivars that I’ve tasted in recent memory. But before I get too far ahead of myself, it wasn’t that many hours since my plane departed from Portland, Oregon. I was out there, not as a journalist, but as a mixologist. This was an unexpected bit of work, and it came at a fine time because I hadn’t been to Portland, Oregon in many months. My last trip out there was amazing. Filled with a series of deep-dives into the periphery of the legal cannabis business. There was so much that I wanted to do, see, eat and smoke, BUT there just wasn’t enough time to see the people I wanted to see, (I’m sorry), nor was I able to get that sit down meal at Pok Pok. I did get take-out, and it was delicious with those wings leading the charge to my palate.

Cobra Extracts: Ultra Sophisticated Delivery and Potency

Handsome: Cobra Extracts Battery and 510 Cart (Hidden) WARREN BOBROW: IPHONE X

Luxury European cars are often distinguishable by their distinctively elegant, elongated and heavy key fobs. The ones on German cars in particular seem to stand out by their pure lines and shining chrome accents. When I was sent by forces unknown to write my thoughts about the Cobra Extracts delivery system and their respective gourmet quality oils, I was very intrigued. But being so busy these days comes at a cost with my package containing the Cobra Extracts dispenser and the two 510 carts. I had some travel scheduled and wasn’t planning on making the trip without at least something to lessen the indignities of air travel. That something was to be my fully-charged, easy to conceal in my dob kit alongside my keys-Cobra Extracts oil dispensing implement.

Cultivating Professional Communications and Distributing Critical News for the Cannabis Industry

Cynthia Salarizadeh is a very intriguing entrepreneur. She has great interest in demystifying cannabis while minimizing the harmful stigma that follows this much maligned, healing herb. I came upon Cynthia through a dear friend who knew that meeting her would propel my own personal career into a realm of new discovery. Cynthia is all about the undiscovered, the unique, and certainly the top of the house in the cannabis industry. To hear her speak of her many deep successes and her companies brings great inspiration. She is a unique person who is filled with the intense desire for self-made success. Certainly not only to her own bemusement, but dipping deeply into real happiness of others. Through this much maligned, medicinal herb, cannabis, Cynthia has the intellect and the humility to break the deeply rooted stereotypes surrounding cannabis. Someone has to take the lead. Cynthia has achieved what many have only dreamed of achieving. It is a great pleasure to share with you a new kind of entrepreneur. Humble, forthright and kind, Cynthia Salarizadeh is going places by being herself.

Kristi Knoblich Palmer: Co-Founder: Kiva Confections-Cannabis Taste-Maker

Kristi Knoblich PalmerKIVA CONFECTIONS

I first became acquainted with Kiva Confections when a friend of mine passed me one of their tiny blueberry/chocolate confections. You know the ones, the tiny infused blueberries are offered in a lovely tin, enrobed in lusciously smooth chocolate, without a tinge of the grittiness that sometimes plagues lesser brands of THC infused chocolates. These tiny gems come micro-dosed, as not to overwhelm the beginner by too much THC, too fast. You’d have to eat a couple handfuls to really get buzzed, and I don’t think that’s the reasoning behind these infused treats. They do pack a nice buzz, so start slowly as I always recommend. Try one, wait an hour or so if you need more, take more. Otherwise sit back and enjoy the good feeling. The chocolates are beguiling too from a product standpoint. They are soft across the tongue and teeth, well blended buttery and rich to the mouth. The blueberries are perfectly ripe and plump. A gorgeous treat that also gets you buzzed. A win/win for people like myself who enjoy medicating without drawing attention to ourselves. When you light up a joint, no matter what state (of mind, or otherwise), you are in- it’s going to attract all kinds of attention. But pluck a couple Kiva Blueberries into your mouth and all is better. It’s uncanny to think that everything should be sweet- Kiva is well balanced in the flavor quotient. Not too sweet, just right.

Sunday Goods: Cosmically Intellectual: Luxury Cannabis Products

Sjoerd Broeks, Director of Cultivation WARREN BOBROW: IPHONE X

Visiting one of the largest indoor grows of cannabis in the USA is terribly humbling to say the very least. There are what we call Seven Wonders of the Earth, but whatever greatness is described as the Natural Wonders, I have to say without any hesitation that the vast, three-hundred, thousand sq. ft. indoor growing space at the Pharm, is without a doubt the most impressive thing I’ve ever seen in my life. It was absolutely stunning. And, in reverence to the universe, the entire indoor space is lit by the sun. Each intensely lit day, offering medicine to the plants, and then in turn to consumers. I would also without any hesitation like to be on record, describing myself as cannabis snob. (A burden, I know!) That would mean that I’m probably not known to scoff at cannabis, but it’s been a very long time since I’ve enjoyed the intrinsic experience of smoking really fine cannabis. This would be, in simple terms, getting a buzz, even feeling something. Nothing wrong with that at all. Not to dismiss my New Jersey medical cannabis providers who do a very nice job with the rules as they are in New Jersey. Or the multitude of fantastic micro-craft growers who have tantalized my intellectualism and my verbosity with their hand nurtured wares. All are remarkable because it’s so very hard to be completely objective in this space. It’s not like wine where you can buy it on every corner, and then again it’s exactly like wine, if you live in Arizona.
