THE ENLIGHTENED VOICE
ABOUT THE COVER
For the 2024 Concentrates Issue cover, the team dreamed up a dab like no other and passed the torch to the terrifically talented Mark Archer from Windham, Maine. He fired it up on a flawless Toro “Grail” (banger), roasted some rosin, and the rest is history. "Creating with hash rosin is one of my favorite things to do," says Archer. "When the Leaf approached me with the cover concept, I was absolutely stoked to try and bring the idea to life. Thankfully with the help of a fresh Toro Glass Grail and after a few (messy) days of trials, the hashterpiece before you was born."

Editor’s Note
Thanks for picking up The Concentrates Issue of the Leaf!
We live in a glorious time of Cannabis freedom where we can consume our plant discreetly, in style, and with the simple push of a button or inhale and be high as a balloon. Concentrates are the essential extracts of the plant, delivering the purest form of Cannabinoids and terpenes for our pleasure in the form of dabs, cartridges, precursors for edibles, or topical products that have endless applications. This bounty of drinks and dabs in the dispensary has all come in the last decade or so of experimentation that has radically changed how we consume and share our favorite plant.
I often reminisce on times when smoking weed meant multiple hand washings, a shower of Axe Body Spray, and a triple piece of gum which definitely didn’t make me sound like a slurring stoned goofball when I stepped back onto the sales floor at Big 5 Sporting Goods. There, I would be fired for getting high, even if all the disgruntled shoe fetchers knew which water bottle was full of the manager's vodka in the breakroom fridge.
"IF THE PEN IS MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD, COULD THE DAB PEN REPLACE BOTH IN THE FUTURE?"
Indeed, the smell of weed is what got folks in trouble, which is why the dab pen has really changed the game. Even the flavored cartridges, which high-brow rosin smokers look down on in snobby judgment, have a magical place in the modern world of getting high. How else might one get pleasantly baked in front of the bank, outside of church, or anywhere else you might want to blast off without the exhale smelling like piney-kushy-gassy skunks frolicking in the breeze?
Smoking a flavored pen lumps stoners in with the nicotine vapers, who are largely ignored. But, instead of inhaling cancer-causing chemicals, we’re celebrating the plant on the go and at home, with a perfectly timed and temperature-controlled glob of single-source cured resin.
Inside this issue of the Leaf you’ll find a curated selection of some of the finest resins, rosins, pens and extracts that represent the many ways the plant can be transformed into unique highs and medicinal products that are all safer than alcohol.
Cannabis is the healthy choice! The many reviews and all the pontificating and puffing make me wonder. If the pen is mightier than the sword, could the dab pen replace both in the future?
Albert Einstein famously said, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.” Given the choice, I believe it would be preferable if we all just got stoned.

MARYLAND GOVERNOR ISSUES HISTORIC PARDONS FOR 175,000 CANNABIS CONVICTIONS
Maryland leads the way in drug war reparations with the historic pardons issued by Gov. Wes Moore freeing 175,000 from the burden of a drug conviction.
“Today, we take a big step enacting the kind of policies that can reverse the harm of the past and to help us to work together to build a brighter future," said Moore.
"This is a big deal. This is a really big deal.”
“...more than 150,000 convictions for simple possession, and over 18,000 paraphernalia charges.”
The pardons are largely for misdemeanor charges, with more than 150,000 convictions for simple possession, and over 18,000 paraphernalia-related charges. These backdated pardons cover arrests prior to Cannabis being legalized in the state in 2023, which linger on criminal records and can limit employment, housing or other opportunities. While 24 states have legalized Cannabis, none have taken such a significant action to right the wrongs of the war on drugs.
"We cannot celebrate the benefits of legalization if we do not address the consequences of criminalization," Moore said to WBALTV.
"That rollout [of legalization] must go hand in hand with pardoning past conduct, and Maryland is going to lead by example."
A pardon is not an expungement, but it will be noted on an individual's criminal record that the charge has been pardoned. This provides a legal shield against discrimination, meaning people can honestly say they have not been convicted of a Cannabis-related crime. While many of the early states to legalize focused solely on tax revenue generation and creating new rules that burdened the Cannabis industry, it appears that Maryland is truly living up to the goal of progressive legalization.

MICHIGAN OFFICIALLY SELLS
MORE POT BY METRIC TRACKED VOLUME THAN CALIFORNIA
California has led the world in production, sales and export of Cannabis for decades, but California’s market domination might be changing, at least in legal tracked sales.
Michigan legalized Cannabis five years ago, but the Wolverine State has been growing weed in the woods for a long time.
Ann Arbor, Michigan decriminalized Cannabis in 1974, making it one of the few free cities for stoners pre-legalization. We know Michigan loves weed, but are they really selling more than California?
According to point of sale data from BDSA, a Cannabis market intelligence company, Michigan is selling more grams of flower and units of products like vapes and dabs than California. Headset (another top data firm) also confirms that Michigan is selling more units than California, at least legally.
In terms of overall sales by cash value, CA is leading the way with $5.1bn in annual sales, versus Michigan’s $3bn in estimated recreational sales. While it isn’t a contest, that’s a ton of pot, jobs and tax revenue to support the state.
Our take is that the analysis is only as good as the data given, which makes the sensational headlines about Michigan selling more pot than California wrong. By many estimates the illegal Cannabis market is two to three times as large in California as the legal market, which isn’t accounted for in traceability systems. The West Coast is still the top dog when it comes to growing, selling and shipping pot, but as demand shifts to local, legal weed in new markets, it’s clear that states like Michigan, New York and Texas will one day sell much more weed than the Golden State.
LEGALIZATION
MINNESOTA CRACKS DOWN ON WEED SALES AHEAD OF LEGAL MARKET LAUNCH IN 2025
IN
Minnesota, weed is illegal to sell in flower form until the legal market launches next year, prompting police to continue the war on drugs as sales continue in retail locations around the state. Police raids netted 120 pounds of illegal flower from 91 retail locations, which sounds like a lot of risk, gas money and overtime for cops to fill a few tote bins full of weed that is illegal simply because it isn’t taxed or tracked yet. The Office of Cannabis Management (OCM) is responsible for regulating the market, and they were acting on reports of Cannabis being sold as hemp.
2024 CA STATE FAIR TO OFFER CANNABIS CONSUMPTION AND SALES
Judges of this year's pie contests will have the added advantage of really tasting the home-cooked flavor after visiting an onsite consumption lounge at the fairground.
Visitors to the fair won’t have to get high in their cars or hit the vape pen discreetly, as this year’s offerings include a 30,000square-foot consumption lounge where people can buy and try Cannabis from around the state. Similar to an Amazon store in Seattle, but likely with better security, customers will be able to scan QR codes and purchase Cannabis thanks to Embarc’s onsite retail license.
“...a major milestone in the state fair’s 170-year history.”
“This initiative spotlights the significant role of cannabis in California’s agricultural industry, marking a major milestone in the state fair’s 170-year history,” James Leitz, executive producer of the fair’s Cannabis competition and exhibit, said in a release.
the 2024 ballot.
The Hemp Bill passed by Congress allows sale of hemp products with less than 0.3% THC, which includes high potency Cannabis flower, as the predominant Cannabinoid is THCA until it’s heated and smoked. This loophole has allowed “illegal” Cannabis dispensaries to flourish in states around the country that haven’t legalized.
The OCM of Minnesota has been on the warpath, seizing 320,000 edibles so far this year, and raiding many shops for selling hot hemp products that will soon be legal to sell. They also warn that retailers who violate the law will face fines of up to $1,000,000. There’s no word if they expect this to stop all Cannabis use in the state until it’s actually legal to buy next year, but the OCM wants those in fear of illegal weed to know that they are doing “targeted” and “complaintbased” enforcement until licenses become available.
“Expanding the competition to include all form factors and providing patrons the opportunity to directly engage with and consume winning brands is transformational for public understanding of the plant.”
This year’s fair will also have a Cannabis category, where growers can enter their best flower in the hunt for a blue ribbon, or in this case, a gold medal. Our hot take? Go for the fair food, stay for the dabs, but avoid the rollercoaster after a trip to the ice cream cart.

KEVIN KINSELLA
KEVIN KINSELLA has worked at the same register from day one at Nature’s Care and Wellness, leading to his nickname “Kevin on 11.” He never thought when he started that he would get the level of notoriety that he has at the store. He was Employee of the Month at his store in April and won a Grow West sales contest. Feeling an immense amount of support from his coworkers gives Kevin pride in his job and enables him to put his best foot forward every day. Next time you’re in Nature’s Care and Wellness, be sure to ask for Kevin on 11!
IS THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY DIFFERENT THAN YOU EXPECTED IT TO BE? When I first entered the industry, it felt a little overwhelming. Now that I’ve been in it for a while, I can see how change is coming. At first, I felt like a little fish in a big ocean, but as I kept learning and working here, I noticed how much room for growth and improvement there is in the Cannabis industry.
WHAT PUTS A SMILE ON YOUR FACE? My job and making people’s day puts a huge smile on my face. Every day, little things like bringing people happiness are what make me happy. I recently picked up playing golf too, so I’ve been getting on the course more lately.
ARE YOU A BIG DABBER? You know what’s crazy? I’m not. I’m a huge flower guy, actually. I will dab here and there, but I really don’t want my tolerance to get too high.
CAN YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY LONG TERM? Thinking about it, I’m still in my learning phase right now. If I keep learning more and more, I will feel a higher level of confidence skyrocketing into other positions. But currently, I am more than happy talking about the product and working on a customerfocused level to build relationships with the people who come into the store.
WHAT DO YOUR PARENTS THINK ABOUT CANNABIS? My mom is the opposite of what I am for Cannabis; she would always get anxious whenever she tried it. She fully respects the medical aspect and what I do for work. My dad, on the other hand, has been getting more into it over the years. He told me about him and his friends on a fishing trip in Canada sitting around the campfire smoking joints. I’m dying to get out there with him.
IF YOU COULD SMOKE WITH ANY CELEBRITY WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY? For a celebrity who’s alive, I’d have to say Snoop Dogg, which would probably be anyone’s first choice. Also, Wiz Khalifa has a contagious laugh, so I’d love to smoke with him. For a celebrity that is no longer with us, I’d have to say Tupac, just so we could have a conversation.
PATIENTS OF THE MONTH
Jonathan & Caroline Crandall
JONATHAN AND CAROLINE CRANDALL are life partners as well as business partners. The couple celebrated the grand opening of their medical Cannabis dispensary, Green Theory, this past April. The shop is located on the outskirts of the Georgetown neighbor hood in Washington, D.C., and was something Jonathan had envisioned as a job since he was a teenager. He started using Cannabis to help with anxiety, not knowing much about it other than it made him feel better.
“This is where I wish I was back then,” he said about opening the dispensary. “I never really thought of it as an actual possibility because we can’t make the laws ourselves.”
Caroline, however, had not been involved in the industry until recently. Although she started smoking casually in high school, she said she did not become more involved in the industry until last year. She left her position at The Washington Post to help take on more of the business side of the shop, utilizing skills she acquired from her previous jobs and her master’s degree in analytics.
“We’re still relatively young at this point. I feel like if you’re going to take a leap of faith in life, let’s do it and try and see,” she said. It required a few different paths to get to opening a dispensary. In 2017, Jonathan started The Highlands and would go to different pop-ups to sell various Cannabis products under D.C.’s Initiative 71 marijuana law, which is where vendors can offer Cannabis as a gift with the purchase of another product. Because there were only a handful of medical dispensaries and licenses available, the gifting market took over.
“It got pretty relaxed where people were ultimately selling weed with no regulation,” he said.
Not too long after he started the Cannabis delivery company Dessert First, D.C. announced it would be opening up licensing opportunities to I-71 gifters. Jonathan and Caroline jumped at the opportunity before the gifting scene was shut down.
“We became the first I-71 gifters to fully convert and open as a medical dispensary in D.C.,” he said.
The couple got their medical cards in preparation for opening the store and began
going to different dispensaries to try products and conduct marketing research. Before Green Theory’s grand opening, there were only six medical dispensaries open in D.C., and Caroline said there isn’t much information about D.C. medical Cannabis because of the small number of medical stores open.
“Any time anyone gives us any guidance, we jump on that because we’re out here flying blind because the I-71 market is so different,” she said.
Caroline also said the shop will focus on being compliant. While they were visiting local dispensaries, she said they observed how diligent the shops were at correctly labeling products, which is a change for them coming from the gifting market.
“As we’re starting out, we’re slowly building up our customer base and have all this overhead. It’s really nice to not be alone in this, so we’ve definitely been leaning on each other in that aspect,” Jonathan said.
With the dispensary now open, Jonathan and Caroline have their own goals for what they hope to bring to the D.C. Cannabis community and to those who are visiting from beyond the district.
“It’s awesomeforusto getthisopportunity tobecomelegal andcompliantwith thegovernmentand dosomethingwe bothbelievein.”
“It’s awesome for us to get this opportunity to become legal and compliant with the government and do something we both believe in,” she said.
When they aren’t working, the two enjoy indulging in indica-leaning hybrids or full indica strains. Jonathan said he loves the classics like Master Kush and Blueberry, while Caroline said her favorite strain is Gushers, preferring to vape her Cannabis.
In addition to wanting to introduce more analytics into the market, Caroline wants the shop to be inviting to the community, which she said includes a lot of female and older visitors. She said this became important to her after having a conversation with her mom.
“It could be uncomfortable walking into a male-dominated smoke shop,” she said. “They’re looking for a store that seems trustworthy, and I want to show our sincerity to the community by the way our store looks.”
While Jonathan’s main goal is accessibility and making sure his products are safely tested for his customers, he also said he hopes that by opening the dispensary, he can help with opioid harm reduction.
“Throughout my whole life I’ve had friends pass away from that,” he said. “I’ve also had friends who got completely off of it through edibles and using Cannabis in general.”
The two have built a strong support system through the process of opening the shop, saying that with all of the challenges and stress, they’re lucky nothing has gotten out of hand. greentheorydc.com @greentheorydmv
HAVING RECENTLY OPENED ON MAY 18, THE NEWEST VERILIFE LOCATION IN MARYLAND IS A SIGHT TO BEHOLD. This store is much more than meets the eye from the outside. I was blown away by the size and layout of the sales floor from the second I stepped through the doors. A big open space allows budtenders and patients/customers to interact and walk through the different products on the menu. They are trying to foster relationships with their customers that make them feel good about their purchases and where they are making them. General manager James Copek helps to cultivate an environment of inclusivity and comfortability, so stop by Verilife the next time you are in Silver Spring.
SETTING AND VIBE
Vibes-wise, this store reminded me of dispensaries on the West Coast with its impressive layout and dedicated employees. As I was browsing through the menu, several employees asked me if I had tried specific products and got me hyped about things I should try. They have kiosks available for people who want to use them, but the budtenders strongly encourage the creation of a relationship between them and their customers. They truly want to help people find a product that works for them as opposed to selling whatever is on sale or needs to be moved.
FLOWER
With over 68 strains available during my visit, I was very impressed with the inventory this store has built in the little time it has been open. Eighths, half-ounces and even full-ounces can be bought in single containers. If you are a fan of flower from matter. and LivWell, then this store has the selection for you, in addition to a ton of other brands from all over the state. They also have a huge selection of both traditional and infused pre-rolls.
CONCENTRATES
Can we get a whoop-whoop for adult-use customers being able to purchase concentrates now? Finally Maryland has come to its senses and is allowing 21+ customers to purchase loose concentrates and infused pre-rolls — something that has been long overdue. This is a great store to stock up on your first haul with brands like #HASH, Nature’s Heritage and SunMed Labs on the menu.
EDIBLES
Every fruit under the sun can be found as a gummy flavor at Verilife, with a ton of options from Betty’s Eddies and Bubby’s Baked Goods. They also featured dark chocolate from Dixie and several varieties of Curio Wellness’ famous chews. I was really excited to see the winner of the 2024 Maryland Leaf Bowl gummy category on the menu: Do Drops “Pride” Starfruit Chews.
"WITH OVER 68 STRAINS AVAILABLE DURING MY VISIT, I WAS VERY IMPRESSED WITH THE INVENTORY THIS STORE HAS BUILT IN THE LITTLE TIME IT HAS BEEN OPEN."
Before I even had time to look up the cross on this strain, I could tell there was some Mimosa in the mix as soon as I smelled it. It was nice to confirm my belief as this strain is Banana OG x Mimosa V6, which creates a strong citrusy aroma with hints of sweet banana to balance it out. I rolled up a joint and went for a walk, feeling a powerful uptick in my energy and mental clarity after just a few puffs. This makes Rated-R a perfect daytime strain for getting things done with a comfortable feeling throughout my body.
INTERVIEW
Owner & Lead Cultivator
Andras Kirschne r
CANNABIS
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS.
That was the message relayed by District Cannabis owner Andras Kirschner after celebrating a monumental win at this year’s National Cannabis Championship.
“I’m really proud,” said Andras, hoisting a title belt into the air like a prized fighter.
District Cannabis’ indicadominant hybrid strain of Layer Cake was dubbed the top Cannabis strain at the 8th Annual National Cannabis Festival in Washington, D.C. on April 20. Swamp Boys Seeds was credited for providing the genetics, crossing crowd favorites like Wedding Cake, Triangle Kush and Skunk No. 1.
The win followed a clean sweep of the 2024 Maryland Leaf Bowl category for Mixedlight/Greenhouse Flower, capturing a triple crown of championships with strains like Gelato Cake, Devil Driver and Cherry Limeade Cake. Greenhouse production has been a staple of District Cannabis since opening its doors in 2015, relying on a warehouse design Andras fashioned as a young cultivator on the West Coast.
“WE’VE HIRED some great people in this organization, and that has really allowed me to focus on what I love to do,” said Andras, who delights in being a hands-on owner, serving as the organization’s head grower.
The 46-year-old was drawn to Cannabis at a young age, crafting a thesis paper in high school on why the plant should be legal. While in college, Andras was invited to tour an underground Cannabis operation in Vermont. The visit inspired him to begin a small grow in his college dorm room, and he’s been cultivating ever since.
“In 1997, I started like a lot of people,” he said, letting out a nostalgic laugh. “With two lights and a closet!”
After earning a bachelor’s degree in sustainable agriculture from the University of Maine, Andras put his newfound skills to use on an 80-acre organic vegetable farm in Vermont. However, his desire to grow Cannabis remained larger than his will to grow vegetables. So Andras followed an ageold American pastime, traveling West to chase his dreams.
to encourage more Cannabis companies to mirror healthy practices. The focus of the endeavor revolves around making a conscious effort to use less fertil izers. As more large-scale Cannabis grows come online around the world, Andras warns against the overuse of fertilizers, explaining their overall scarcity and the larger importance of growing food for the populace.
“Of course, we want to make great Cannabis and share it with as many people as we can,” he said. “But our higher purpose is trying to do good for the world. At this point, we’ve been doing this long enough where we don’t feel like we need to keep ‘The How’ a secret. We want to tell people what we’ve learned and help people grow Cannabis on a global scale.”
“Our higher purpose is trying to do good for the world … We want to tell people what we’ve learned and help people grow Cannabis on a global scale.”
“Back then, it was pretty much illegal everywhere,” Andras said. “But Cali? That was the land of the free. They were the only state that was allowing it.”
While working in California, a chance encounter with a National Geographic article altered Andras’ career path, encouraging him to mimic the growing practices of Dutch greenhouses.
“I read about this little tiny country that was producing the majority of the veggies for Europe,” Andras said, referring to the Netherlands – the largest exporter of fresh vegetables in the world. “I thought, ‘These guys know what they’re doing.’ Right then, I knew that was going to be the future of Cannabis.”
As he climbed the career ladder, Andras was given more freedom to design his own grows. Greenhouse practices, he explains, allow for “much more efficiency in capturing drain water,” recycling nutrient-rich H2O back into the plants, while saving natural resources.
“I’m always thinking about sustainability,” he said. “And I very much consider what we’re doing [at District Cannabis] sustainable agriculture.”
District Cannabis is currently collaborating with a data analytics platform called Let’s Grow in an effort
Such philanthropy was part of Andras’ upbringing, he said. But, it’s also been a building block of District Cannabis, molded by late co-owner Ed Weidenfeld. Ed served as a lawyer to the Ronald Reagan administration in the 1980s but later rebuked such hardline conservative stances on Cannabis as he publicly shared his struggles with Parkinson’s disease. While Ed succumbed to his battle in December 2022, his presence remains felt throughout the organization.
“Ed was a great friend and mentor,” Andras said. “He would talk to everybody and give anybody the time of day. He always said, ‘Try to help people as best as you can without expecting anything in return.’ Generally, that’s a really good rule to live your life by.”
District Cannabis opened up its “flagship dispensary” this past month in the Union Market neighborhood of Washington, D.C. A close friend of Ed’s was credited with the design. The team remains focused on carrying out Ed’s mission: making Cannabis accessible to as many people as possible.
Andras and his team are working around the clock to bring new strains to the market with the potential of bringing home more awards for their craftsmanship.
“We pheno-hunted a lot of strains last year,” he said, noting a trifecta of strains – Jungle Boy Strange, Beach Cake and Florida Wedding – are set to hit the market this month.
“A lot of people say you can’t grow high-quality Cannabis on a commercial scale. I think [District Cannabis] is evidence of the contrary.”

MULE FUEL
“Gas heads and connoisseurs alike should puff on this smoke for a wonderfully palatable experience.”
CULTIVATED BY BELUSHI'S FARM
SUNMED GROWERS secured the right to cultivate one of Cannabis culture’s great celebrity advocate brands, Belushi’s Farm, and have come right out of the gate with the heavily delicious Mule Fuel cultivar.
Mule Fuel, a cross between GMO and Mendo Montage, is one of the most Myrcene-dominant cultivars to hit the Maryland market in quite some time. Lovers of the heavier side of the Cannabis terpene spectrum will flock to Mule Fuel’s robust Myrcene profile for all its gassy glory.
Gas heads and connoisseurs alike should puff on this smoke for a wonderfully palatable experience.
When I say gassy, I am not being flippant. With over 50% Myrcene content in this terp profile, Mule Fuel exudes diesel and fuel notes all over the olfactory system.
As one takes the time to waft the jar of nugs to fully examine the aroma, the Fuel breaks open to reveal cedar and citrus notes that pop like twinkling stars in a gaseous universe.
And what an experience it is. This cultivar is not for the energetic at heart. The dominance of Myrcene lends itself to the heaviest side of the spectrum, offering users a comfortable couched experience that heals the mind and body.
With chronic pain myself, I actively seek out some of the heaviest Myrcene profiles I can find because they, quite frankly, make some of the most potent pain-relieving effects. SunMed’s Mule Fuel is just such potent medicine and is a wonderful addition to any patient’s or toker’s stash box.

RYTHM Perfect Pair #6 Live Resin
Live concentrates from RYTHM are always an exciting item to see on dispensary menus. Perfect Pair #6 is a cross between Smarties and Devil Driver. Popping the lid off unleashed a sweet and floral smell reminiscent of mango. On the exhale, notes of earthiness come through stronger than the sweetness. After a dab, I felt a nice kick of energy and a smooth relaxed mental clarity. @rythm_official 84.18% Total Cannabinoids and 9.19% Total Terpenes
Evermore Cannabis
Company Orange Drizzle Live Resin
Cake Badder
Mimosa and Wedding Cake come together to form this batch of deliciously citrusy Live Resin Cake Badder. You can’t help but notice the violently loud level of orange fragrance coming out of this jar. I tend to feel confident that citrusy strains will give me a good level of energy, and the Wedding Cake settles that to calm it down a bit. The mouthfeel is velvety with that same orange smell lingering after a dab. @evermorebrands | 88.03% Total Cannabinoids and 7.062% Total Terpenes
RYTHM Afternoon
Delight #4 Live Resin
The taste was true to the initial smell, bringing an essence of citrus, earth and pepper to the tip of my tongue. Bright gold and shiny liquid best describe the looks of this oil. Excellent for writing reviews, this concentrate sparked my creative nature and cleared my head. @rythm_official 79.31% Total Cannabinoids and 12.47% Total Terpenes
Evermore Cannabis Company
Lucky Orchard Live Resin Sauce
“Lucky” is a great way to describe what the Maryland Cannabis market is to have this strain available. Apple Fritter x Runtz is the cross here, and when I popped off the lid, a sweet, tropical, honey-like scent escaped from the jar. There is definitely a hint of gas in there as well from the Runtz. The flavor was gassy and skunky with a strong balance of citrus. After a dab, I felt a heady calmness behind my eyes. @evermorebrands | 77.8% Total Cannabinoids and 9.307% Total Terpenes
Culta Romscotti Live Resin Badder
I couldn’t wait to dive into this luscious golden pool of viscous oil. Popping open the jar revealed a slew of caramel-like butterscotch terpenes.
On the exhale, a sharp cologne-like scent accompanies the sweetness. The relaxation that settled into my bones after just a couple of dabs is something I seek out in dabs like this. @cultaig | 72.82% THC
Culta Blue Java Live Resin Badder
Culta’s live resin has constantly been getting more impressive over the years. This batch of Blue Java smelled like berries and stone fruit when taking off the lid. The exhale was more of a caramel apple flavor with pineapple-like sweetness. After a dab, I felt heavy relaxation which made it perfect for dabbing after work for me. @cultaig | 80.66% Total Cannabinoids and 7.43% Total Terpenes
Alchemist Concentrates
Gorilla Glue Gelato Live Resin Sugar
Alchemist has consistently come correct with fire concentrates from very early on. The nose reminded me of a lemon-lime snowball. The consistency was also reminiscent of a snowball, with little glistening chunks of golden ice. Live resin has a ripe fragrance that can be consistently smelled underlying every batch. At almost 2% Limonene, the citrus terps popped through on the exhale. @alchemistmd_ 87.48% Total Cannabinoids and 5.695% Total Terpenes
Beezle Brands Grape Kush Live Resin Budder
Consistency-wise, this is exactly what I expect when buying live resin budder. The grape terpene profile was strong on both the nose and smoke. I felt serene and slightly euphoric after taking a dab. Kudos to Beezle for always coming correct with their products and putting their supporters above all else.

SunMed Labs Golden Pineapple x Pie Hoe Live Resin Batter Baller Jar
SunMed has become the king of releasing their concentrates in 3.5-gram baller jars. I have seen them come out with so many different strains in this larger offering that it’s what I’ve come to expect from this brand. The consistency was a golden saucy oil with a little bit of firmness. The golden pineapple is reminiscent of Jack Herer terps, combining Golden Goat and Pineapple Kush for a truly tropical dab that set me in a comfortable headspace. @sunmed.labs | 83.09% Total Cannabinoids and 12.46% Total Terpenes
SunMed Labs Golden GMO Skywalker x Powdered Donuts Live Resin Batter
From highest to lowest terpene levels in this batch, we have Terpinolene, beta-Myrcene, trans-Caryophyllene and Limonene, creating a funky and sharp smell that cannot be mistaken. We all know how powerful GMO terps are, and in this case, the terpinolene almost masks and blends with them, making them even funkier. For me, this was the perfect saucy batter for my daytime smoke, giving me clean energy to keep powering through a busy day. @sunmed.labs | 81.46% Total Cannabinoids and 12.62% Total Terpenes
Verano Ice Cream Candy Live Resin Badder
As I turned this jar from side to side examining the oil, it pooled up on either end of the jar in a bright golden puddle. Imagine the smell of a fresh ice cream cake blended with sweet Smarties-like terpenes flooding your nose. High in Limonene and Ocimene, the citrusy nature of this batch cannot be denied. After a dab, I felt my anxiety slowly wash away as I slipped into a comfortable buzz. @veranobrands 79.47% Total Cannabinoids and 10.81% Total Terpenes
MPX Spritzer Cured Resin Sugar
A delightful and powerful dose of Terpinolene filled my nose when I unscrewed this jar, taking me back to the first time I smoked Jack Herer. Runtz x Grape Pie x MAC is the cross here, and I feel like the MAC (Miracle Alien Cookies) profile speaks the loudest in this room. I felt uplifted with a strong sense of happiness after taking a dab. @mpx.us | 84.55% Total Cannabinoids and 9.091% Total Terpenes
Nature's Heritage
Sour Pink Lychee
Live Sugar
At over 3% Myrcene, that terpene alone makes up close to 50% of the entire profile. For that reason, I knew I would use this for pain relief and relaxation, both of which were truly effective in my case. The smell of this chunky golden oil was piney and peppery with a tropical candy-like undertone. The flavor was stronger on the sweet candy side of things with some citrusy essence lingering in the background. @naturesheritage_ | 87.13% Total Cannabinoids and 6.63% Total Terpenes
Verano Yum Yum Live Sugar
Terpinolene steals the show in this strain, and Yum Yum is a perfect way to describe the smell and flavor of this oil. As a live sugar, this is a bit more on the firm side while still having a nice glistening terp layer to coat it all. I took a dab of this after a long day of weeding in the garden, and my back pain was quickly in the rearview mirror 30 minutes after dabbing.

The Big Smooth Live Budder
What do you get when you cross OG Blueberry with Cookies and Cream? A jar of dabs that is sweet like baked goods and tropical fruit. The nose can be described as Zkittlez-like sweetness with little bits of freshly baked cookies in there too. The flavor reminded me of biting into a freshly baked blueberry muffin. A blend of creativity and calmness came over me while dabbing on this one. @naturesheritage_ | 91.48% Total Cannabinoids and 8.16% Total Terpenes
HYDROCARBON
Grassroots Garlic Cookies Live Sugar
There is no mistaking GMO terps when you get anywhere near this strain. A combo of garlic and diesel fuel filled my nose every time I busted this jar open for a dab. That garlic flavor continued to linger as my deep relaxation began to set in. I always use this strain at night or on the weekends because it puts me on my ass every time. @grassrootscannabisco | 84.16% Total Cannabinoids and 8.14% Total Terpenes

Double Tangie
Banana Live Budder
Winner of the 2024 Maryland Leaf Bowl
Crumble/Sugar category, this one speaks for itself. Fruit terps lovers rejoice as you’ll have memories of a fresh smoothie when popping off the lid. Crossing Banana Sherbert with Tangie from the illustrious DNA genetics, this is truly a strain to go after in all forms. The most noticeable effect was a boost in my productivity when smoking this strain. @naturesheritage_ 89.04% Total Cannabinoids and 7.17% Total Terpenes
RYTHM Cherry
Maui Wowie
The consistency of this oil was somewhere between a badder and a sugar with a shiny amber hue to it. Maui Wowie takes me back to the days of watching “Half Baked” starring Dave Chappelle. I was definitely full-baked after a dab of this, exhaling a blend of sweet terpenes similar to cherries and freshly baked cherry pie with that dough flavor lingering. @rythm_official | 83.23% Total Cannabinoids and 8.52% Total Terpenes
Grassroots
Raymond Berry Runtz Live Sugar
A beautifully chunky and saucy live sugar fills this jar with terpenes reminiscent of my first time smelling Runtz. It tends to be on the gassy or fruity side, but this batch was a perfect blend of the two greater goods. Reminiscent of the candy coating on mini M&Ms, I was salivating when I unscrewed the lid of this jar. After a dab, I felt a calm mental clarity while ready to tackle a busy day. @grassrootscannabisco 85.78% Total Cannabinoids and 8.32% Total Terpenes
MPX Mandarin Cookies Diamonds
You read that right: just diamonds! These have a very slight terpene layer on top to coat the little diamond chunks and add some flavor. At over 96% THCA, these were my go-to when I had nothing to do for the rest of the day. There is a slight orange essence from that layer of terpenes, and the flavor reminded me of smoking CBD isolate. @mpx.us | 97.11% Total Cannabinoids and 0.251% Total Terpenes
MPX Chasca
Cured Resin Jam
This strain combines Chemdog 91 and Super Silver Haze and was brought to us by Lucky Dog Seed Company. The floral and chem aroma coming out of this jar got me hyped to take a dab — a homage to old-school terps. There was a strong note of citrus on the exhale, and my anxiety was at an all-time low after a couple of dabs. @mpx.us | 90.40% Total Cannabinoids and 7.866% Total Terpenes
Grand Daddy Purple and Chemdawg joined forces to create a skunky grape blend that had me smelling it over and over again. On the exhale, the skunky flavor came through strongly with hints of sweet fruit on the back end. I regularly use this strain before bed to get my head in the right space for a good night's sleep. @veranobrands

RYTHM
Animal Face
Cured Concentrate
This strain brings together Face Off OG and Animal Mints for a more than gassy blend of terpenes filling my nose. This cured concentrate was full of terpenes, giving it a looser consistency, dripping from the dabber into my banger. The effects for me were definitely on the stonier side, giving me a little tingly sensation behind my eyes and moving down into my extremities. @rythm_official | 83.87% Total Cannabinoids and 7.82% Total Terpenes
Live Budder
Bred by Humboldt Seed Company, this strain crosses Truffula Tree and Shishkaberry. The mix forms this insane berry sensation in my nostrils as I stare into this deep reservoir of delicious oil. The flavor matches the smell perfectly, and I noticed an uplifted and talkative nature about myself after dabbing. @grassrootscannabisco

MPX THCA Isolate
For those days when I want to tune out and throw on my favorite TV show or movie, I will mix some THCA isolate into my regimen. Close to 100% THC and no terpenes, this is for effects alone. My favorite way to consume this product is to mix it in with a flavorful dab or sprinkle it into a joint or on a bong hit. After just a hit of this product, I am usually about halfway to the moon. @mpx.us | 98.08%

MPX Mandarin Cookies
Diamonds & Sauce
Take the Mandarin Cookies review you just read, and add in some terpenes from the same batch to get this product. The succulent terpene drip mixed in with the diamonds leads to an experience of flavor and high that is just right. This batch had a strong citrus flavor with hidden notes of gas and baked goods. After a dab, I felt a heady high creep in behind my eyes, but it did not give me any couchlock. @mpx.us | 75.55% Total Cannabinoids and 10.866% Total Terpenes
Kings and Queens
Glitterbomb Live Resin
Badder
The appearance of this live resin matches its strain name: glittery, golden, and basically bursting out of the jar. A cross of Grape Gas x OG Kush Breath Blueberry Headband is a mouthful to say and had me salivating at a dab. After a dab, I felt a euphoric and spacey vibe set in, and as an indica lover, this was perfect for me. @vireohealth | 86.55% Total Cannabinoids and 2.08% Total Terpenes
Kings and Queens
Super Lemon Haze
Live Resin Badder
Classic of any SLH, Terpinolene runs wild in this strain, giving it an aroma reminiscent of fruit stripe gum and zesty lemons. That smell translates directly to the same flavor, which had me puckering after a dab. This badder was a little bit more firm than some of the others I have seen from K&Q, making it easy to get on the dabber. I felt a pep in my step after taking a dab, making this my perfect smoke for outdoor activities, like hiking in the woods.
@vireohealth | 81.13% Total Cannabinoids and 8.62% Total Terpenes
Kings and Queens White Grapefruit Cookies Live Resin Badder
This saucy badder was absolutely drilling citrus terps into my brain when I popped off the lid. A cross between Lemonberry and Tropicana Cookies creates an exotic flavor that I always love my dabs to have. When I put it on the dabber, there was a little glistening terpene layer coating the badder. After a couple of dabs, I felt an immediate high come on that lasted for hours. @vireohealth

MPX Huckleberry Soda #5 Shatter
Huckleberry Soda #5 grown by Evermore Cannabis Company is a classic extract from MPX that has been running for a good amount of time in Maryland due to its popularity. Crossing Huckleberry Hound and Black Cherry Soda made a strain that is known for its deliciously sweet and unmistakable flavor. After a dab, I felt a calmness wash over my body while a stimulated mind ran off with energy. @mpx.us 86.99% Total Cannabinoids and 4.015% Total Terpenes
MPX Strawberry Cookies Shatter
Another classic grown by Evermore and extracted by MPX, Maryland Cannabis consumers have been going after this strain since it came to the market early on. The lineage is Strawberry Fields x Animal Cookies, which is sweet, fruity, and nutty all at the same time. The smell is reminiscent of freshly picked berries and comes through strong on the exhale. I found this to be the perfect strain for my bedtime routine, sending my mind off into a state of deep relaxation. @mpx.us

Super Boof Live Resin Badder
Another cross with Tropicana Cookies, this one mixes in Black Cherry Punch, and the smells are fighting for dominance in the jar.

District Cannabis Yuzu Live Batter
Have you ever had Yuzuade from Ekiben in Baltimore? The smell and flavor of this batter took me right back to the first time I ever tried that beverage. It has a strong lemony yuzu flavor, with a creamsicle-lavender-like essence lingering. This batch got me that type of high I felt when I first started smoking weed, including the fits of laughter. @districtcnbs.us

Good old shatter in parchment paper is where this dabbing thing all started, and we can’t forget where we came from. Lucky for us, SunMed is doing the product justice with a nice clean amber shatter. A cross between The Big Dirty and Pineapple Sorbet produces a sweet flowery sorbet-like aroma and flavor. The high for me was energetic and exciting and settled in rather quickly. @sunmed.labs | 90.92% Total Cannabinoids and 4.42% Total Terpenes
District Cannabis Kill Shot Live Batter
Fuel-like aromas dominate my senses when I open this jar, but the sweet herbaceous candy-like flavor is definitely not to be forgotten. The bright and vibrant batter was easy to get on the dabber and maintained its golden color even when melting. On the exhale, I could notice a peppery flavor with a trace of that same sweetness I smelled. @districtcnbs.us | 81.8% Total Cannabinoids and 5.17% Total Terpenes
District Cannabis Hazy Face Live Batter
Over 14% total terpene content — does that make anyone else’s mouth water as much as it does mine? The color of this oil was a bright amber that pooled around the jar as I swirled it, marveling at its glory. Terpinolene is the star in this movie, blasting exactly the smell I expected right in my face. This is a great sativa strain, always giving me the energy I need to grind out a busy day with a smile on my face.

Eden Solventless Dutch Hawaiian Cold Cure Rosin
True to its name, this batch of cold cure hash rosin brings delicious tropical fruit vibes to the dab sesh. The smell reminds me of stopping at a fresh fruit stand on the way to the beach. The exhale is smooth and has that clean rosin flavor I always look for in a dab. The fruity flavors pop and have the room smelling like a smoothie shop for hours. I felt an electric energy that got me pumped up to get some work done. @edensolventlessmd | 84.32% Total Cannabinoids and 6.255% Total Terpenes
Temple Forgotten Haze Temple Ball
This hash seriously knocks my socks off due to its consistency and rarity in the Maryland market. If you have smoked ice water hash that is dabbable, you know how awesome this product truly is. It takes me back to my first days trying 5-star hash in Colorado. It has that quintessential greasiness consistency-wise and a smell and taste like reverse osmosis water and terps. Hash for the people. @alchemistmd_ | 66.89% Total Cannabinoids and 3.142% Terpenes

Trop Cherries Live Rosin
The first time I ever enjoyed hash rosin was Trop Cherries from a good homie out in Colorado. This jar takes me back to that first time, with a clean dabbing experience that puts me in the best mood. Sweet and citrusy, this blend of terpenes sets something off in my brain, and I genuinely could smoke this every day and be stoked. I use this strain before workouts to give me a clear head and strong energy. @beezlebrands_md
AMBER SOCOM Live Hash Rosin
Gas has entered the building with this hash rosin from AMBER, gLeaf’s newest hash line. When dabbing, Cookies and Cream was the strain that came to mind with its creamy and diesel-like aroma and flavor. After a dab, I was in a relaxed state that was perfect for my bedtime routine. Kudos to AMBER for bringing some more fire rosin to the market in Maryland! @amberxtracts

Beezle Brands The Soap Live Rosin
This strain has one of my favorite terpene profiles available on the market, and Beezle Brands did it justice as always. The scent of diesel fuel and baked goods erupts from the jar the second I unscrew the lid. Translating directly to the dab, the exact same senses are triggered when taking a dab. I tend to lean on this strain during anxious stressful times, and a dab gave me smooth brain vibes as anticipated. @beezlebrands_md
Evermore Cannabis
Company Ice Cream
Runtz Cold Cure
Live Rosin
Popping the lid off this jar, I was immediately smacked in the face with a baked goods smell mixed with vanilla ice cream. From a consistency standpoint, this batch is a perfect wet rosin with a little bit of firmness. The exhale tasted like a sweet mix of sugar cookie and Smarties Candy, which had me going back for dab after dab. The high is light at first, but a strong stoney effect settles in and remains for a few hours at least. @evermorebrands 86.89% Total Cannabinoids and 6.522% Total Terpenes
Eden Solventless Spumoni Moroccan Hash Spumoni took the W in the 2018 High Times Cannabis Cup. A classic solventless extract, this batch of Moroccan hash smells like tropical fruit and cologne.

AMBER Gushers and Cream
Live Hash Rosin
This stuff is wet and terpy and made my nose tingle when I took off the lid. A nice golden amber saucy wet badder fills up the jar. The smell reminds me of a creamsicle coated with Nerds or fruit chews. The flavor is classic Cookies and Cream with hints of Gelato and Runtz. After a dab, I felt a euphoric and happy feeling slip over my body and into my mind. @amberxtracts 82.35% Total Cannabinoids and 9.25% Total Terpenes

Classical smells of sweet chem and skunk filled my nose when I opened this jar. A bit firmer than some of the other rosins I’ve seen from AMBER but as deliciously terpy as the wet ones.

This bubble hash is similar to the kief from Nature’s Heritage but different in the fact that it’s a little bit more dense and less dry. I use it the same way as the kief, on top of bong hits. I also like to grab a micron screen and press it into rosin myself as it is easy and fun. The berry terps run strong with this batch, spewing aromas of freshly picked berries. @naturesheritage_

With smells of sweet blueberry and tropical sunset terps, this jar of hash made its way with me on a boat trip more than once. The exhale is a mix of skunky and sweet flavors.

Sandy kief is always nice to throw on top of a bowl or bong pack for some extra kick. The little wooden lid came off this jar and I knew it was Mimosa before even looking at the strain based on the smell alone. I find that when topping weed with kief it becomes a little more stoney and spacey, also accompanied by pain-relieving properties for me personally. You get a little more flavor on the exhale too, which is great when smoking flower. @naturesheritage_ | 38.99% Total Cannabinoids and 1.35% Total Terpenes

I never thought we would see the day that Maryland consistently had rosin cartridges, but here we are. These are very on point from the presentation to the flavor and high. Both of these strains are classics from Evermore and come through nicely in a rosin cart rendition. The Sunset Octane is gassy with a little bit of clean fruit flavor. The ICC is straight up gas, and true to the way this strain smells as a flower. After a hit, I felt deeply rooted relaxation in all of my limbs, and for an on-the-go product, that is pretty special. @evermorebrands | 77-86% Total Cannabinoids and 5.6-11.1% Total Terpenes

I took one before going out on a buddy’s boat, and I basically just laid out in the sun all day feeling more relaxed than ever before. @evermorebrands | 100mg THC per capsule 1,000mg THC per package

Strain-specific RSO is making waves for its desired effects from the terpenes of a particular strain. SunMed puts its RSO in a hefty glass syringe, which makes it easy to get out with no bending or heavy amount of force needed. This feature is extremely important considering many people using RSO need a product that is easy to use.

The citrus flavor reminded me of lemon bars or a peppermint lemon stick in the middle of the summer. I like the discreet portability of these cartridges, looking like a standard vape everyone carries around these days and masking the fact that you have Cannabis on the go. @select.better | 87% Total Cannabinoids and 2-5% Total Terpenes.
A big blend of some fire strains from Culta gives us this classic colored RSO that is what I expect from this product. The first time I was exposed to RSO it was very dark in color, and I was told that this was a good sign. Big ups to Culta for bringing that same product to market. This particular batch was high in Caryophyllene which has very similar proposed effects to what people seek to achieve with RSO (pain relief, mental and physical relaxation). I took 0.1 grams before going to sleep, and I did not wake up a single time throughout the night. @cultaig 77.47% Total Cannabinoids and 3.6% Total Terpenes

Singapore Sling
RSO Dropper
The RSO from Grassroots has become a crowd favorite in Maryland, consistently dropping in dispensaries for years. Singapore Sling is a cross between Creamsicle and Tropicana Banana, brought to us by Tiki Madman. This is a perfect strain to turn into RSO because it has some uplifting effects to accompany the heavy-slumped relaxation. It also consistently pumps out high numbers of THC, which are ever important when producing a powerful and effective RSO. @grassrootscannabisco | 81.13% Total Cannabinoids and 3.89% Total Terpenes

CREATIVE CONCENTRATION
THE ART OF DAB SCULPTING
“HASH ART” hearkens to the hard work and passion behind the people pumping out delicious dabs. By catering to each product’s unique characteristics, artists look to provide a peek past the limitations of two-dimensional mediums like social media. The art form teases us to talk about consistency, color and texture in ways traditional product staging and styling can struggle to showcase. Additionally, it invites nonconsumers to explore extracts and concentrates in a friendly, new light. And it’s friggin’ fun! While we’re not attributing the origins of “hash art” to any one person or project — folks, like @ca_organic, were making magical creations with concentrates and extracts over a decade ago — it is worth noting that a few creatives have stepped into the spotlight over the last several years to spark the conversation of sculpture. It’s a style that, in our community, is still fairly fresh. However, it continues to grow as brands and artists alike look to captivate consumers in a sea of social media and marketing monotony.
IN THIS LIGHT, for the 2024 Concentrates and Extracts Issue cover, the team dreamed up a dab like no other and passed the torch to the terrifically talented Mark Archer (@thecuratorco.me) from Windham, Maine. He fired it up on a flawless Toro “Grail” (banger), roasted some rosin, and the rest is history. Archer’s “Dabman” became a star in recent years, but he has since found his footing in a few more styles of “sculpting,” all while developing a stunning set of self-taught photography skills. Intrigued by his journey, we spoke with him about the inspiration behind that delightful little Dabman, the loving labor poured into his craft, and more.
How did you find your way into dab art and sculpting? I was trying to find a way to separate myself after seeing a lot of weed photography becoming more popular around the time. Pretty much everyone was doing basic dabber shots and a lot of the same stuff. I thought, ‘What can I do in this medium to detach myself and make this more appealing.’ That’s when the first ‘Dabman’ was born.
Can you share a little bit about the work behind crafting the cover image? I had to make the word ‘Leaf’ out of hash, and then I had to make that pot leaf individually out of ‘snakes.’ Then I had to shoot that and superimpose it there because it would have been impossible to get the definition of the leaf otherwise. I shot the drips separately in single frames with a high aperture and then put it all together.
That sounds complicated, and all before you’ve even picked up your camera! What’s a common misconception about creative work of this caliber? Sometimes people think that you’re just taking a picture. When I first got into it, people would ask, ‘Why would I pay a photographer when I could do it with my cell phone?’ I’ve spent thousands of dollars on my camera body alone. And taught myself everything. Learning all the programs and techniques takes years to really get down. I went to college for business and marketing, and I try to explain to people that major companies put a large portion of their expenditures into marketing because the product is almost less important than how you present it. In order to get it into someone’s hands, perceived value is everything.
What can this type of creative perspective offer consumers and producers? I think it’s a way to draw new eyes to cultivators and hash makers that wouldn’t have been seen otherwise because of how saturated the market is with traditional Cannabis photography styles. When you’re used to seeing the same thing over and over, it becomes mindless. And when you mold the hash — especially when you’re shooting on a macro scale — you’re showing people a bunch of characteristics about it, while also giving them a palpable piece of media that they’re probably going to remember.

But this community offers boundless ideas, and with a handful of products and consistencies circulating, the medium provides a plethora of playful options. Many familiar with Archer’s work will recognize our next two talented artists: Alex Dubs (known as @workdubs), and Tony Rinaldo (known as @loud_n_errl_).
On top of crafting our 2023 Concentrate Issue cover, North Carolina artist Alex Dubs dives into an array of lifelike creatures and more. Her art form often features figures ranging from flowers to animals, but you’ll even find wonderfully woven blunts and delicately designed bowls of kief in her collection.
Alex: I made a little hash rosin flower, and looking back, it was very basic, but I’m proud of it. I’ve now learned how to manipulate the hash using the heat from my fingers instead of fighting with it, so my flower petals are a lot more advanced and I can create more than just basic shapes now.
Tony: My first post (in 2014-ish) was a nipple made of shatter on top of half an Oil Slick container. I called it ‘Errleola.’ I think we would all agree that my skills have grown tremendously since then! Ha!
What draws you to this art form? Alex: There’s something very peaceful about making Cannabis art. I’m reminded of the Buddhist sand mandalas. It’s the process of creation and then destruction that’s almost spiritualistic. Instead of framing art to hang on the wall and look at, it’s something temporary and meant to be enjoyed. I can take a picture to memorialize it, but my favorite part is consuming it. To dream something
up, create it with your hands, just to combust and consume it — it’s a very refreshing form of art to me.
Why tackle creations outside of the typical jar and dab shot? Tony: They get you thinking and show the product in ways traditional staging and styling doesn’t. For example, they can show you multiple products at once where traditional often offers one at a time. Creative marketing, staging and styling are only limited to the imagination of the people creating it.

AS THE SUMMER HEAT and humidity intensify, I steer clear of using the oven and opt for cool beverages and no-heat meals. The top of the stove is OK, but I avoid turning on my oven until September. Obviously, I can’t always get away with this, but I try. I’m infusing with Girl Scout Cookies grown legally by my friend Teresa. It’s a lovely hybrid that leans indica, always uplifting and mellow. It’s a keeper. The recipes are guidelines; you can change ingredients, like shrimp instead of crab, and try a hummus with black beans instead of chickpeas. It’s summer, let’s chill out.

4. Place the spaghetti in a large bowl and toss with the sauce, crab and cheese.
5. Serve topped with a sprinkle of Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon.
YUMMY GUMMIES
Bubble Hash Backstory
Before rosin was all the rage, the most popular form of “solventless” concentrate was water-extracted “ice” or “bubble” hash (so named because it bubbles up when smoked). But unlike charas and dry sift, which were known about for millenia, bubble hash didn’t really enter the stoner zeitgeist until the 1990s — thanks to the entrepreneurial endeavors of a cadre of Cannabis icons.
SADU SAM’S SECRET
By most accounts, the history of bubble hash begins with two of the most notorious Cannabis breeders of all time: Holland’s Nevil Schoenmachers and David Watson, aka “Sam the Skunkman” or “Sadu Sam” from Santa Cruz. Legend has it that during their interactions in Amsterdam sometime during the early 1980s, Nevil shared with Sam the secret of how to separate resin glands (trichomes) from Cannabis by agitating it in cold water. He’d allegedly learned this method from an “unknown American” from the Emerald Triangle, who Sam reportedly suspected may have actually been a Canadian named Montreal Mike — an acquaintance of theirs who’d visited the top hashish capitals on the fabled Hippie Trail.
In any case, Skunkman decided to cash in on this valuable new knowledge. He self-published a little manual entitled “Sadu Sam’s Secret” that provided step-by-step instructions for the “hash washing” technique: crushing buds up into a container of cold water, shaking or stirring it briskly, letting it settle, then pouring it through a coffee filter. He then designed a small ad that offered an “amazing natural and organic resin separating technique” using “only 2 common household items” for just $10 and began running it in High Times’ August 1987 issue.
Though many stoners who ordered Sam’s booklet undoubtedly learned the method, it would take nearly a decade for water hash to really take off — thanks in part to the 1998 book “Hashish” by Sam’s pal, botanist/author Robert Connell Clarke that included the technique, and a valuable new tool from the infamous Hash Queen of Amsterdam.
ICE-O-LATION INNOVATION
By the mid-1990s, Mila Jansen was already renowned in the hash community for her invention of the Pollinator — a portable clothes drier-like machine that tumbled the resin glands off of Cannabis (for more on Mila, see Cannthropology - July 2022 at leafmagazines.com). Thus, when a Swiss inventor from Laytonville, California named Reinhard Delp attended the High Times Cannabis Cup in November 1997 seeking to market his new hash-making device, it was the Hash Queen he reached out to. At a private meeting at her house, Delp demonstrated to her his patented Ice-Cold Extractor: a funnel-shaped stainless-steel drum filled with ice water that used pressurized air to separate mature resin heads from the flower.
After signing a contract with Delp to sell his machine, Mila later showed it to two of her friends: a hash smuggler named Eldon and an entrepreneur named Mark Rose. Allegedly, after seeing it in action, Eldon pointed out that the same result could be achieved with just a couple of nylon bags with different screens (Mila denies this claim, saying the idea was hers). Rose then reportedly came up with the name “Ice-O-Later” (since they were using ice to isolate the resin glands) and later inked a deal with Mila for his company ACME Nepal to manufacture their re-envisioning of Delp’s invention. Mila’s Ice-OLator bags premiered at the 1998 Cannabis Cup, kickstarting a long run of award-winning Ice-O-Later hashes over the next several years.
Despite their product’s success, their partnership barely lasted a year; Mila split with Mark, retained ownership of the brand and apparently shifted production to Turkey. And although the Ice-O-Lator bags were a revelation in the field, like any prototype, they had their limitations: reportedly allowing some unwanted plant material into the hash and losing more mature trichome heads into the wash. Luckily, these issues would soon be addressed by an enterprising young Canadian who was about to make some serious waves in the world of water hash.

THE BUBBLEMAN COMETH
A hemp grower/entrepreneur hailing from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Marcus Gary Richardson began smoking Nepalese, Moroccan and Afghani hash smuggled in through Montréal and Vancouver in his late teens. It wasn’t until attending the 1995 Cup that he’d first tried bubble hash, courtesy of his mentor-to-be, Rob Clarke.
“It blew my mind,” Richardson remembers. “It just completely changed my life.”
In 1997, Richardson moved to Vancouver, where he started growing for the newly-opened BC Compassion Club and became a big player in the Cannabis market there. That is, until one day in 1998, when he was arrested at a roadblock with around 16.5 pounds of weed and $6,000 in cash — leading him to rethink his career as a Cannabis cultivator: “It was devastating to me. I was really good at it, and I didn’t know what else I could possibly do. And so, my wife just said, ‘Is it possible you can do something with Cannabis that maybe wouldn’t get us put in jail?’”
After a friend showed him the Ice-O-Lator system, Richardson had a flash of inspiration; at the 1999 Cup, he decided to approach Mila with an offer to buy 1,000 sets of bags and become her official distributor in Canada. Unfortunately, that meeting did not go as he’d hoped.
“She was having a very bad day,” Richardson recounts. “We did not have a good conversation.”
He returned home crestfallen, thinking he’d blown his big opportunity. But then, his wife suggested an option he hadn’t considered:
“She said, ‘Why don’t we just make our own bags?’” he recalls. “I looked at her like she was from another planet. I’m like, ‘What are you talking about? I don’t know how to sew!’ And she’s like, ‘Well … I’ll learn.”
But if Richardson was going to create his own water extraction set, he wasn’t about to just make a knock-off of the Ice-O-Lator bags — he’d need to improve on the concept. So rather than just two bags with screens of different micron sizes, he offered three. By March 1999, Richardson had started a new company called Fresh Headies and launched his new ice extraction system, called simply “Bubble Bags.” For the product’s slogan, he borrowed a phrase first coined by Skunkman that he’d learned from Clarke years earlier: “If it doesn’t bubble, it’s not worth the trouble.”
For Bubble Bags’ slogan, Richardson borrowed a phrase first coined by Skunkman that he’d learned from Clarke years earlier: “If it doesn’t bubble, it isn’t worth the trouble.”
Richardson began selling his Bubble Bags on the internet, which, at the time, was still a novel thing that not many people were taking advantage of — that is, except for the clandestine Cannabis community, of course.
“For the first time, thousands of people were gathering on websites such as Cannabis World, Cannabis Culture and Overgrow, and talking about things that were very secretive for many decades prior,” he explains.
Through one of these online forums, Richardson was contacted by Mila’s former associate, Mark Rose, who offered to be his manufacturing partner. Together, they then sourced top-quality materials, such as resilient, specially-coated parachute thread and superior silkscreens from Switzerland. Richardson also gradually expanded the set to eight bags, including the 90- and 120-micron screens able to produce the “caviar of bubble hashes:” 5- and 6-star-rated full melts. As a result, Bubble Bags became the new industry standard for making water hash, and Richardson earned a new nickname: “Bubbleman.”
TROUBLE IN THE BUBBLE
Unfortunately, though, Bubbleman’s successes drew disdain from those whose ideas he’d developed upon. In 2001, Delp sued Richardson for patent infringement: a legal battle that would last nearly a decade before being settled out of court.
“I worked out a deal and paid him six figures for the lease of his patent,” Richardson claims. “So I know how to do business the right way.”
Sadly, Delp passed away in October 2017 without receiving proper public recognition for his invention or the revolution it helped spark.
Even worse, Mila told everyone that Marcus had ripped off her intellectual property (even though, according to him, she herself had “borrowed” the idea from Delp).
“People thought I had stolen the idea from Mila,” Richardson laments. “So for a very long time in the community, I was looked down upon.” She became further aggravated in December 2002 when High Times writer Kyle Kushman — unaware of their schism or who Mila even was at the time — published the article “Bubble All the Way” that sang the praises of Bubbleman’s product with no mention of where the concept had originated and included photos (provided by legendary breeder Soma) that she believed were of her bags rather than Bubbleman’s. As a result, the Hash Queen called them out in person
at the Cannabis Cup that year — interrupting Kushman’s live “Grow Show” seminar to voice her grievance publicly. Despite Mila’s animosity towards him, however, Richardson says he harbored no hard feelings towards her.
“In her defense, I would’ve hated me as well,” he acquiesces. “She’s a strong woman and a legend in the community, and I respect that. I respect that she was fighting for what was hers, and I respect her hustle … all I wanted was for everything to be good.”
Thankfully, these two luminaries have since come to peacefully coexist in the international hash community that they helped create.
FULL-MELT FUTURE
With the explosion of butane hash oil (no pun intended) in the 2010s, bubble hash might’ve fallen by the wayside had it not been for the next wave of extract artists who innovated dabbable new forms of water hash by using fresh frozen flower and more complex equipment, enabling them to freeze-dry extracts and manipulate them into textures desirable for dabbing. Perhaps the most notable of these water hash wizards is Essential Extracts founder (and Mila protégé) Nick “Nikka T” Tanem, who coined the term “solventless.” After traveling to Amsterdam in 2003 to apprentice under the Queen herself, Nikka T brought the skills he’d learned back to the US — helping to set the standard, and the stage, for the next decade and beyond.
Today, there are countless concentrate companies across the globe producing some of the finest quality solventless hash that’s ever been made — each of them another ripple in the ice water, another aquatic echo of the stupendous splashes made by those original entrepreneurs of extraction and forerunners of full-melt.

MARCUS RICHARDSON
WE ALL KNOW what this means, right? But in case you’ve been held hostage in the lobby of a dental office for the past decade tortured with easy-listening music and nine-month-old gossip magazines, it’s an acronym for Laughing My Fucking Ass Off. Which implies that someone is overcome with a howling expression of jubilation. And this reflex is so genuine that it goes beyond the ability to contain one’s composure. This is not a giggle. This is not a smirk. This is a response to something that is so inherently funny that it results in a physical burst of happiness, expressed without restraint. The person is not just laughing, they are laughing hysterically.
However, he or she who uses this language, almost always through texting, is only chuckling … maybe.
They are not laughing hysterically at all. They are pretending to do so by transmuting their emotions into modern terminology that seemingly does it for them, while the inherent expression of this joy — at whatever level — is still largely restrained within their mind and body. Kind of like being held captive in the lobby of a dental office.
Imagine standing in front of someone and telling them that you are laughing your fucking ass off. They would say, “No you aren’t.” The reply would be, “Right, but I think it’s really funny.” And the other person would say, “Then why aren’t you laughing?”
Yet, when an emogenius sends this expression through their mobile device, they intend to have us believe they are a fun-loving, outgoing friend who drinks up life with an outlandish sense of humor. Realistically, however, this person spends an average of 8-12 hours a day being occupied by a digital screen, and experiences very little to no reaction at all.
Just because you say something doesn’t make it true. By the way, Cannabis is my best friend forever.
