WB: Why cannabis? How did you discover the plant?
This is an excerpt from an email I received. Reprinting it is relevant because reading the words help paint a picture of passion in growing truly exceptional cannabis.
I recently read your article ‘Cut & Dry Platinum Bubba Kush Aka: Play Charms My Palate’ on Forbes and found it very insightful in regards to your explanation of effects, taste notes and Cut & Dry’s approach to growing. Would you be interested in expanding on the subject of unique cultivars as they pertain to standing out in an oversaturated market? Did you know there’s only around twelve cultivars and their various hybrids based on terpene distinction and THC/CBD/CBG analysis in the modern market? Regardless of unique names, plant genetics in the industry are fairly homogeneous. Why? Most cultivators want to maximize profit by minimizing the time it takes to flip crops and cutting corners (like pheno-hunting) they think consumers won’t notice.

I love good wood! WARREN BOBROW: IPHONE XR
During college in Boston I smoked a tobacco pipe. Not just any pipe, but a really lovely, handmade Dunhill Bruyere that I enjoyed very much, it made me feel less like a poor college student, and more like a gentleman, living on Beacon Hill. It offered an air of class when I had very little more than an apartment in a student ghetto on the back side of Beacon Hill.

When a cannabis equipment company thinks enough of their consumer to charge their rechargeable device before the sale, that gets my attention. I like to open the box and not have to wait an hour to charge my new cannabis tool.
And it’s small, smaller than the mouse on my iMac. And much lighter too. Elegant and smooth to the touch. It also has a nice rubberized edge that makes it resistant to slipping out of my hand. Nice touch.

About five years ago I made my way on assignment down to Louisville, Kentucky for the Running of the Roses at Churchill Downs. It was not one of the high points of my journalistic experience. Primarily because of my lodging arrangements. I was initially staying near the airport.

This was the Press Release *below* that got my attention. I loved the design immediately. Reminded me of a hand-crafted German camera part, or a business-first part in an aircraft’s landing gear. Cleverly designed at the top, your friend’s lighter just snaps right in- as long as it’s the slightly oval shape of a BIC lighter. A square lighter probably won’t work as well, but no matter, do you have a light?

Years ago when I was working in the rum business I would rely upon the good nature of fellow bartenders who had their medical cannabis cards in California. One of the places that always was on my must-visit list is the formerly medical only dispensary named SPARC. Located in an unambiguous neighborhood, you should take your head out of your cell phone screen when walking there. Pay attention to where you are going and be aware of others who may be taking a rest right where you are walking.
