Warren Bobrow=WB: Where are you from? Why cannabis? Did you go to business school? Who is your mentor?

Derek Peterson=DP: I was born and raised in Massachusetts. Cannabis was always part of the culture in the Northeast and I never took to binge drinking alongside my peers in high school and college. I used cannabis recreationally in my younger years, but it wasn’t until an extraordinary surfing accident later in life that led me to truly understand and appreciate medical cannabis. I fractured a vertebrae in my neck and have used cannabis to manage the daily residual pain from that injury for the past 13 years. I put myself through Pepperdine studying finance and business. As a college student I tended bar to pay my bills and it was there that I met a gentleman named Mike Zacarro who worked in finance and encouraged me to intern for him while I finished my degree.

Saka Pink was carefully selected as the perfect mixer for this wonderfully well balanced sipper.It should be served ideally in a coupe glass, which you may remember also used to be used for Champagne.If you are still using them for Champagne, STOP NOW!Only use it for this cocktail.For Champagne, use a Burgundy glass.. much, much better.

How Top Cannabis Influencers Are Transforming the World of Cannabis Cuisine

Top cannabis influencers are having a real impact on the future direction of cannabis cuisine. Here are some of them.

The Cocktail Whisperer: Warren Bobrow

One of the most visible cannabis influencers from the world of wine and spirits, Warren Bobrow, is a high-profile mixologist who most people simply know as “The Cocktail Whisperer” (www.cocktailwhisperer.com). His primary goal is to transform the world of mixology by infusing (literally) elements of cannabis cuisine. At the first-ever Cannabis Drinks Expo in San Francisco in July 2019, Warren Bobrow was one of the high-profile presenters at the event, showing audience members how he goes about creating some of his most famous cannabis cocktail creations. The importance of this cannot be understated, especially with the growing potential for “cannabis consumption lounges” to become as normal as your neighborhood wine bar. Imagine the buzz that could be created on social media, as mixologists around the nation follow the lead of Warren Bobrow and begin to create cannabis-infused cocktails of their own.

Warren Bobrow=WB: Why cannabis? Where are you from? When was the first time that you discovered our plant? Btw: Love the name, I came out of Biodynamic/Organic wine as well… Fumé means something to me.

Eric Sklar=ES: As a serial entrepreneur, I saw the incredible opportunities and challenges of creating a new business in a brand-new industry and I couldn’t resist taking the plunge. Brand creation has been the foundation of my career to date. Forming the organization behind the brands has been my life’s work. This was an opportunity to bring both of those skill sets to a new industry; that only happens once in a generation and I wasn’t going to miss the boat. And, like all the industries I have worked in before, I love the product.

Five Questions With Hip Cannabis Entrepreneur: Mario Guzman, Founder Of SHERBINSKIS

I recently had the great honor of tasting SHERBINSKIS Cannabis while attending the yearly Emerald Cup. The Emerald Cup is unlike any other event I’ve ever had the honor of attending. How can this be explained? It is like a massive state fair, but only for cannabis, and you can buy anything that is displayed for awards- within reason and weight legality of course! I traveled out from New Jersey to attend the Granddaddy of all cannabis harvest fairs in the world, but not just around the corner. I knew that I had limited time to spend searching for SHERBINSKIS, even though there was a plethora of dispensaries that carry this ultra-luxe brand, I just couldn’t figure out when I could get away from the task at hand, covering the Emerald Cup for Forbes Vices .

1. Tinley High Horse Spicy Ginger & Lime Sparkling Tonic. This is tasty stuff, I played with it recently and feel it would be best mixed with an extremely high quality craft rum like Foursquarein a rocks glass with a twist of lime. No, I’m not directly advocating mixing THC with craft spirits, but it wouldn’t hurt. After all, I wrote the first book on combining craft spirits and gourmet THC, named Cannabis Cocktails. It would be a memorable, stony beverage. HIGH HORSE™ Spicy Ginger, Lime & Pineapple Jack Sativa “Our stubbornly good recipe, crafted as a non-alcoholic tonic with a kick of ginger extract, lime essences and premium sativa cannabis for a social, euphoric effect.”

Edie Parker The “Coco Chanel” Of Ultra-Luxury Cannabis With Full Tasting Notes

Edie Parker Flowers

PHOTO COURTESY: EDIE PARKER

I’m a massive fan of luxury cannabis. You could say that a quest as deep deserves a path in life. Mine involves ultra-luxury cannabis and this one like my passion for Biodynamic and Organic wine need to be explored with care and passion. Thus is my goal in the cannabis industry. Sure I like to write about the obscure and the nearly impossible to source. But at the end of the day, I’m also looking for products that resonate intrinsically with my design savvy. The external branding of Edie Parker Cannabis is every bit as tangible as going into Bergdorf Goodman in NYC and purchasing several tens of thousands of dollars in luxury cosmetics without batting an eyebrow? Or is it an eyelash, I’m not quite sure, because I’ve never spent that much on cosmetics, or clothing for that matter. But I digress. Edie Parker Cannabis comes enrobed in a range of boudoir pleasing designs. They are tastefully boxed in boldly striped containers. Inside, tiny flowers seem to cascade through your consciousness, they are frivolity and fun, all boxed together. Open them at the bottom so you might collect all of them and display the colorful packages next to your finest perfumes and creams. Luxury is the name of the game with Edie Parker.
