10 best weed drinks of 2022 – L.A. Cannabis News

Klaus infused cocktails

Klaus, a canned cannabis cocktail, is crafted for flavor chasers by mixologist Warren Bobrow. The intense flavor of their THC drink is absolutely cocktail-like and ideal to serve over ice, though you can enjoy it straight from the can as well. The tart, tangy, and ginger flavors would likely appeal to those who usually order margaritas or daiquiris. With 10 milligrams of THC in each can, it was fast-acting and provided me with a potent — but not overwhelming — high. Currently available in one flavor, the Mezzrole, with two more flavors coming soon, each $12 can is priced like a craft cocktail.

You can find Klaus cocktails at two Solful locations in Northern California: Santa Rosa and Sebastopol. So if you’re in Sonoma County, be sure to check them out.

Warren Bobrow, known as the Cocktail Whisperer, is an Emerson grad who became a TV engineer in New York City, worked at Danceteria—a famous NYC nightclub—in their video lounge, a dishwasher in York Harbor, Maine, and a certified chef/saucier. After the loss of his fresh pasta business in Hurricane Hugo, he worked in banking for 20 years before reinventing himself—becoming a six-time author, bar back to bartender and master mixologist. He is also a former rum judge for both the Ministry of Rum and the Rum XP.

Warren now works in the cannabis industry full-time as a journalist for Skunk Magazine, Different Leaf Magazine and Cannabis Cactus Magazine. He is the co-founder and master mixologist for Klaus, a Terpene-Forward/THC infused craft cocktail for the California regulated market. No liquor! Warren has enjoyed the bemusing qualities of cannabis since 1972.

We spoke with Warren for our Higher Calling series, where we chat with leaders in the cannabis space.


Warren, tell us …

Where you grew up, and where you live now.

I grew up on my family’s biodynamic/organic horse farm in Morris Township, New Jersey. After college and working as a cook around the country, owning and losing my first business during Hurricane Hugo and an ill-fated trip to Arizona to cook at the Scottsdale Princess Hotel, I found myself back in Morristown in 1992. I embarked on an inappropriate but necessary career in banking. Fortunately, I lost that job after almost two decades of pain. I didn’t belong there even for one day! Morristown is where I live today.

Your current role in the cannabis industry, and where you’re based.

I wear many hats in the cannabis industry. I’m a deep-dive canna-journalist for Skunk Magazine, Cannabis Cactus Magazine and Different Leaf Magazine, drawing deeply from my own experiences of smoking cannabis for the first time at age 12 at a Grateful Dead concert in New Jersey in 1972. I co-founded my second company, Klaus, named for my 1800s German drinking gnome that I’ve traveled much of the world with during my former career working in on/off premise liquor. Klaus is a good little guy, liked by most and he loves cannabis drinks, certainly more than getting drunk. No hangovers now!

A story about the positive impact cannabis has had on your life.

I am the poster child for medical cannabis. The only thing that I inherited from my late father was his glaucoma. Before I discovered medical cannabis, my eye pressure was so high that I literally was eating 50 Advil per month to lessen the headaches that centered behind my eyes. Since I got into the New Jersey Medicinal Marijuana Program, my eye pressure has reduced to below normal, without drugs! Medical cannabis restored my vision! My ophthalmologist uses my success with cannabis in his discussions regarding the viability of medical cannabis in treating glaucoma. Win/win!

A favorite flower, edible, product, or brand.

Favorite flowers are always sun-grown, biodynamic/organic and dry farmed. This is not always available to me on the East Coast with our shorter growing season, but the outdoor grown cannabis that I’ve enjoyed from Oregon, Maine, Northern California and Massachusetts certainly has opened my mind to the concept of terroir. Why should viticulturists have all the fun? Genetics and strains, most exciting!

My favorite indoor grown flowers are probably from Green Bodhi in Oregon. Consistently charming and intellectual, these mindfully grown herbs have opened my mind and allowed me to write what flows. Of course I’d be remiss not to mention Wonderbrett, Swami Select, the former Brotherly Love (dammit, I loved their flower), Sunrise Mountain Farms, Aster Farms and Hopper.

I’m really a hash head, but good luck finding Middle Eastern style temple ball hash in the U.S. The market is expanding in this regard. Unfortunately, the untimely death of Frenchy Cannoli has left a void in this regard, but the quality hash from Sitka has filled the need that I have for craft hash over science lab hash. Writing about cannabis for my pleasure has opened many doors in the genre of cannabis. It’s really exciting!

The biggest challenge cannabis marketers face today.

There are many challenges in marketing for any vice level product. We have the stigmas. I have myself to thank for knowing this one, inside and out. Growing up in New Jersey, surrounded by ultra affluence and heavy drinking, I took a job at a local wine store in my teens, which opened my eyes to the concept of appellation. Of course my upbringing, traveling all over Europe, the Ivory Coast, and Brazil for my cultural education made me into the well-rounded person I am today. Cannabis, although important to me, was still a forbidden topic and still is today, no matter what the law says in New Jersey. Several of my peers in prep school were expelled for smoking weed. Ruined their young lives, no matter how wealthy and influential their parents were at the time in the ’70s.

Stigmas exist through the grassroots support of liquor companies that are none too happy about the proliferation of “legal” cannabis, taking away their right (since prohibition) to print money and deeply profit from selling watered-down spirits to the masses. Your favorite vodka? 80 proof, 40 percent alcohol. The remainder? Water. Expensive water.

Several years ago, I attended a seminar at the Wine & Spirits Wholesalers of America Convention called “What About Cannabis?” It was standing room only. I had just written my fourth book, Cannabis Cocktails, Mocktails and Tonics. I was working for a Russian liquor company, Marussia Beverages. Mention cannabis to the Russians—or to any professional drinker—and there is a certain curiosity that melts into outright disgust. In 2018, I quit the liquor business completely and haven’t suffered an occupational hazard.

One thing you’re excited about right now in cannabis branding, partnerships or marketing.

Cannabis-fueled beverages. It stands to reason that I would choose a career based on my passion for the plant and my deep understanding of cannabis as more than just a metaphor. That authenticity is what drives me. When you do what you love and obviously are passionate about it, you’re driven. As a trained restaurant and bar professional, I’m in a unique position to do what I love. After all, I’m certainly only one of the few individuals in the world who started as a bar back on my climb towards authenticity.

Having written six books didn’t hurt either. Nor did a rum-fueled experience that took me around the globe seeking authentic craft spirits. Why would I want to do anything else? I have a natural affinity for that tangle of flavors that pour down your gullet and make you happy. That’s called hospitality and it’s something that I do well in life.

A cannabis trade/social justice organization that you support.

Last Prisoner Project. No one should be in prison for cannabis. Period.

A recent project you’re proud of.

It’s an ongoing project. The conception in 2015 that I would write my fourth book—Cannabis Cocktails—then develop the scientific technology to allow for the commercialization of a craft cannabis beverage. Not just another sparkling water with fruit flavors added, but a craft mocktail that is based on real ingredients. My drink has only three ingredients plus the Terpene-Forward THC emulsion. What makes my drink better than my competition is the simple fact that Klaus tastes like and smells like the strain from which it emanates.

Please name a cannabis beverage on the market today that tastes like cannabis. That’s why Klaus is unlike anything that has ever been manufactured prior. This is gastro-molecular canna-mixology that’s light years ahead of the cannabis beverage industry.

Someone else’s project you admired recently.

I love what Luke Anderson has done with the microdosed beverage, CANN. I admire him as a fellow craftsman in beverages, for his education in Boston (me too!) and as a deeply placed visionary in his field. What he has accomplished in a short time is pretty fantastic, especially in a deeply regulated market.

Someone you admire in cannabis who’s doing great things.

I admire the work being done with Intentional Horticulture from my friend and spiritual mentor, John Bayes from Green Bodhi in Oregon. His work in mindful and the deeply spiritual propagation of cannabis has influenced my work at the core level. Smoke some of his cannabis and your mind will be opened. Some of the best writing I’ve done in years was influenced by his carefully tended cultivars.

What you’d be doing if you weren’t in the cannabis industry.

That’s a good question. I’ve failed at least eight times in my life—careers, marriage, bankruptcy, being disowned and ostracized by my own family. They have no idea of my successes or what brought me here to be able to work with the plant. It’s taken me some real time to get here. Much anguish, difficulty and disappointment before finding myself able to follow my dreams and passion. I will say there is no other job or life that I would rather want. It’s taken me 60 years to get here to occupy a small role within the cannabis business. I get to be me. In cannabis! What a dream come true story!

Higher Calling is a weekly series, publishing on Thursdays, where we chat with folks in the cannabis industry about their personal history and taste in cannabis and the future of cannabis marketing. For more about Higher Calling, and our Clio Cannabis program, please get in touch.

FIVE QUESTIONS WITH SUSIE PLASCENCIA FROM HUMO: MEXICAN-AMERICAN OWNED: GOURMET LATINO CANNABIS

BYWARREN BOBROW03/03/2022

Five Questions with Susie Plascencia from Humo: Mexican-American Owned: Gourmet Latino Cannabis         

I’m always intrigued by authentic cannabis brands grown in conjunction with nature. Sometimes they are more than just indoor grown under lights. I crave sun-grown flowers that are bursting with passion. This description holds true for the richly esoteric strains grown in the proprietary “Smart” Greenhouse holistically powered by Posibl in Monterey County, California, the parent company of Humo. It stands to reason that Humo would possess state-of-the-art growing methods from their rich history in Latino culture. It is my pleasure to share with you the words and emotions from the source herself, brand partner Susie Plascencia. That is, quite succinctly…Humo. HUMO is by la raza, pa’ la raza. A Spanish term for smoke, humo is the unmistakable result of cannabis when ignited. HUMO is on a mission to eliminate the stigma surrounding cannabis in the Latino community by celebrating its rich cultural history with the plant and normalizing its daily use. As a Mexican-American-owned company, HUMO aims to provide meaningful representation in an industry that has caused disproportionate harm to Latino communities for decades. 

1. Please tell me about yourself, what do you do for work? Where are you from? Live now? What did you want to be when you grew up?  

I was born and raised in Los Angeles and still live in the city. My family immigrated to the US from Jalisco, Mexico. I’m an entrepreneur and marketing expert. I’m a Brand Partner for Humo, California’s Mexican American-owned cannabis brand centered on the culture of the Latino community. Not seeing Latinas represented in professional positions of power affected my desire to seek entrepreneurship as a career path. However, I’ve always had a natural talent for communication and a calling for leadership, so studying marketing and earning a master’s degree in journalism helped me hone my skills as a creative storyteller. Becoming an entrepreneur and brand developer are roles I’ve grown into throughout my career. Still, I often feel I am what I’ve always been – a communicator and a leader.

2. What are you working on right now? Do you have a six and twelve-month goal? What makes your company different from its peers?

Right now, I’m focusing on the growth of Humo, and its expansion throughout California. Within six months, we’d like to welcome new strains to our menu and our 12-month goal is for Humo to be available at dispensaries from San Diego to San Francisco. Our mission-focused ethos is what sets Humo apart from our peers in the cannabis industry. As a Mexican American and woman-led brand, we aim to eliminate the stigma around cannabis use in the Latino community by celebrating our rich cultural history with the plant, normalizing its daily use, and offering premium and affordable flower that’s sustainably grown in a Smart Greenhouse powered by our parent company POSIBL.

3. What obstacles currently stand in your way, and how do you anticipate removing them? Do you have a mentor or teacher who is valuable in your path? 

As a brand, the challenges we currently face are actually also our strengths. The average cannabis consumer knows about indoor and outdoor cultivation but still isn’t familiar with a greenhouse approach.

This challenge becomes a strength because it presents us with an opportunity to not only share information about the brand with our community but also educate them on the great benefits of sustainably grown flower. Personally, the most important and valuable teachers in my path have been struggle and hardship. Having to work extremely hard to get to where I am in my career has filled me with a level of gratitude and appreciation that fuels me to continue achieving and help pave the way for others.

4. Indoor or outdoor-grown cannabis? Favorite strain right now? 

Neither indoor nor outdoor — Humo’s craft cannabis is sustainably grown in a Smart Greenhouse powered by our parent company, POSIBL. Their proprietary greenhouse technology features best-in-class climate control that requires less water per pound of flower and is three times more efficient than indoor grows. My favorite strain right now is the Cajeta. It’s an indica-leaning hybrid that’s a cross between OGKB and Mendo Montage. This flower’s creamy vanilla and caramel flavor profile inspired its name, which is one of Mexico’s most beloved goat’s milk caramel confections. 

5. What is your passion? 

I want to help create dream jobs in cannabis. I’m passionate about creating career opportunities in the cannabis industry for women of color and communities impacted by the War on Drugs.

Five Captivating Questions for Nick Saad Co-Founder Sitka™

Traditional, Middle Eastern craft hashish is something very rare in the USA. There are only a handful of hashish connoisseurs who are even knowledgeable enough to produce traditional European/Middle Eastern style hashish. The commercial marketplace has quickly become a wasteland of high-priced “ice-water” finely powdered hash that enterprising dab-heads get super high on. More concentrated cannabis flavor and aromatics are apparent in each dab of powdered hash. It does nothing for me.

I much prefer the traditional hash of my travels around the globe throughout my life.

While working as a journalist who specializes in cannabis, I’ve tried to focus on reviewing Organic and Biodynamic cannabis flowers. I’ve always hoped that someday the arcane talent and knowledge to make European/Middle Eastern style hashish would come back into vogue.

Decades went by while I waited for traditional hash to arrive, the hash from my somewhat misguided teen years in the 1970’s. Hash was plentiful then, I remember coveting little chunks of black Nepalese hashish from a friend’s dad who brought it back from a pilgrimage to Nepal. Stamped in gold and oozing with sticky oil, this represented a smokable art form. One that I’ve finally found with Sitka.  

I had some decent old-world style hash in Jamaica back in the 1990’s… They have a way of extracting hash oil that resembles the distillation of rum, but I digress.

Traditional hashish is part of global history. Study the history of hashish and you start to learn about the earth in a manner not taught in prep school. The early adventurers and explorers of the globe sailed to the furthest reaches known to man. With them, they took elixirs to make the long sea voyages a bit easier to take. Buccaneers for example were probably not smoking just tobacco in their pipes. I’d take a guess that it was weed! Maybe even hashish? After all their ropes to haul the sails were made from the fibers from hemp, I’m sure they didn’t just throw out the flowers if they were already smoking tobacco or distilling alcohol from sugar cane molasses. They like to get messed up to forget their pain.

As a former sailor I learned there are moments that stretch into weeks without wind or good humor. Discovering the globe comes with vices. Rum wasn’t the only thing that sailors partook on their long sea voyages. Hashish was and still is a commodity, like molasses, just a different set of rules. Some legal, others less than legal.

Is it a wonder why the global rum industry dates back to the 1762 in Amsterdam, the European capital of weed?

What binds the tradition together is time.

When I smoked Sitka for the first time it was like being a young man again, smoking history, experiencing, and deepening my nearly fifty year relationship with the plant.

Please allow me the pleasure of introducing you to Nick Saad.

Nick Saad
Warren Bobrow=WB: Why hash over flower? Do you take a craft approach to the plant?

Nick Saad=NS: There isn’t a right answer, just a preference of what you’re looking for at the time.

This question to me is like asking why Wine over Beer, or Espresso over Coffee.

Hashish is basically a concentrated version of flower which makes it more potent in Cannabinoids. but also, more limited in flavor varieties as hashish’s flavor profile changes from bright and flowery to spicy and earthy. Overall hashish tends to have a much more mellow effect on the user, rarely bending into the Anxious/Paranoid realm. It also has a much fuller robust & spicy flavor than flower. Flower can come in all flavors of the rainbow, while hashish tends to always have a bit of a “hashy” flavor unique to itself, which can be a comforting and trusted flavor and consistent experience one can crave. So, strangely I’m concluding that Hashish while it can come in. many forms and slight variations it offers Potency, Consistency, & Reliability.

WB: Who was your mentor? Inspiration?

NS: I never had a mentor; I’ve been self-taught in almost everything I’ve done professionally. I have always looked at that as a disadvantage or some insecurity; namely, the fact that I didn’t have a chance to study under someone. Now I feel that was a blessing. The best way for me to have learned was to have had the freedom to learn, make mistakes, learn, & repeat. I’d say my inspirations have always been other self-taught makers and craftsmen. I can say I’ve drawn inspiration from family, coming from a line of self-taught makers and craftsmen from farming to plastics, to footwear, to toys. Anybody who can put his or her focus and creativity, make something out of nothing is incredibly inspiring to me.

WB: First time you smoked real hash? With whom?

NS: Sheesh. It must have been around 1998 when A friend of mine showed up with a little brown chunk wrapped in aluminum foil and showed me hashish. back then we didn’t know crap about pot strains, and hashish was literally foreign to us as we’ve only ever experienced flower in the states. I remember being in awe as it bloomed when we kissed it with a lighter flame to soften it. Then we rolled it into a horrendous spliff that got us much higher than we expected. I loved the experience but wouldn’t get to meet hashish again till 16 years later when I created my own in Seattle!

WB: Please tell me about your company.  Six and twelve month goals?

NS: We have smoking paraphernalia and other ancillary products in development to complement the famed Sitka dome, all of which are for sale on Sitkashop.com.  That’s a really fun process, collaborating with craftsmen from the Pacific Northwest. We also find that some items can be made overseas. Part of the joy in making the journey abroad is to source products more affordably for our consumer. Plans for Sitka® long term?  Continue expansion beyond Washington and California while always maintaining the quality of our output.  Come check us out at the Hall of Flowers in Santa Rosa or Palm Springs this year and at sitkagold.com and Instagram etc.

WB: What is your passion?

NS: To be honest… Right now my 2 year old son is my passion.

The Way to Bliss is Time Enough

420Waldos:  Why is a very important wristwatch for a very important time, and date so intriguing? And what is that time again? It is of course, 4:20 pm on 4/20. And what is it about this wristwatch that makes it irresistible? Tucked into that magic time, 4:20 is a little cannabis leaf. A smile ensues, followed by a belly laugh. But it’s not just serious fun watching the seconds tick by, it’s the importance of time itself, and the minutes and hours that move, like clockwork towards 4:20.

Here are the group of people who created the historically relevant name of 4:20 and they all have a verifiable and deeply fascinating back-story that involves a clandestine meeting. What time? That time of course, the most famous stoner time in the world. Four Twenty….
The day of that time of 4:20 is 4/20 of course. This rigorously documented history is true to the plant and with every sale of the 4:20 Waldo wristwatch,

(a fascinating story, click to the link, please read…) a portion of the proceeds goes towards the quest of the national legalization of cannabis.

As I gaze wistfully at this very special wristwatch on my wrist, as the hands of time gracefully move ever so much closer to that infamous little green cannabis leaf, I smile. That distinctive green cannabis leaf is of course located precisely at 4:20. I can take pause in knowing that this time is very special for everyone who knows the deeply inner meaning of 4:20 on 4/20. Not even my own Swiss wristwatch gently reminds me of 4:20 during the day, or night…

Fortunately, 4:20 comes twice a day. I can rest assured that the quality in this little glow in the dark- wristwatch will bring a smile to the wearer often and a fun conversation to all others. A win/win, good job to the history of 4:20 Waldo… on 4/20!

Introducing the North Coast Co.

Republic of North Coast “Box Pressed” Cannabis Cigars

Brilliance from the far north. One puff at a time.

North Coast Cannabis Co. Cannabis driven brilliance from “up north” and quite far away…

www.northcoast.co

There is an East Coast, there is a West Coast, but did you know that there is a North Coast? Well friends, there is a North Coast and it’s located up north in Michigan. What are they growing up in these northern climes? Some of the best cannabis in the country that you haven’t smoked yet is happening, right now in Detroit.

I was immediately charmed by the names of the blunts, cannarillos and joints. Each hand rolled version is carefully constructed from the finest locally grown artisanal herbs to offer the finest terroir of the place.

@fatheadfarms Banana Mac x Strawberries and Cream Donut- soft across the palate with bursts of beguiling fruit flavors. Comes on slowly but don’t let this subtle sweetness fool you, this is high test weed for sure. No beginners allowed!

@organic_mechanic78
It shouldn’t take too long to decide what blend is your favorite. Mine is the Organic Mechanic78 in a plethora of Candy rain donut. It weaves a story from that fog between your ears. Of course, that would be your brain. Stoned again. What?

@kentargal
@hash.freak
GMO and Key Lime Pie donut
Delicate Kentargal is not, but don’t let that strange name fool you. There is serious power in each metered draw. Each thrust into your lungs mesmerizes the body and sequesters your mind into droplets of stone fruit jam and oily citrus skin. Magnificent effort that took several hours from my mind and deposited them into the future tense.

@trichome_heavy
Katana Kush blunt
There are ways to an end and the trichome heavy Katana Kush blunt reminds me of each one. It’s hard to remain focused with this blunt. The mind just gets wiped away, without smothering the personality. Take a hit, or five. You’ll get pasted all over your couch. Enjoyable work this represents.

@pure_clouds
Bahama mama blunt
Pure Clouds offers remarkable aromatics of baby skunk, citrus, pine needle oil and crushed stones. Then of course there is the stone. Where did my brain go? Into the pure clouds of your intimate memories.

Thank you.  WB.
