Thanks for picking up The Concentrate Issue of the Leaf!
Dab like an Egyptian would be the perfect Weird Al remix of the ’80s classic by the Bangles, and it’s the vibe I get when looking at our amazing cover this month. Which begs the question: Did the peop le who built the once-largest structure in the world also get high?
I’ll skip a long lecture about the improbability of people cutt ing and moving 2.3 million stone blocks (weighing an average of 2 tons each) without alien help or a pyramid potentially being a giant energy conductor and certainly not a tomb. But who's gonna refute those assertions anyway? The Egyptians were the first to document the healing and euphoric effects of the poppy plant. T hey would milk the flower for a delicious nectar that’s full of naturally occurring opiates. Sipping poppy tea, they’d celebrate the renewal of nature with rituals that included dancing and orgies. These were the first plant-resin parties, w hich they viewed as a gift in plant form from their deities.
Not too dissimilar from the process of squeezing resin from Can nabis, which was known as a medicinal plant in ancient times, is it that much of a stretch to assume they were smoking some hash too? Egypt was the bridge between the far East and the West at the time, facilitating trade along the Silk Road, which was surely traversed by wagons and cargos of hashish. While some historians believe that hash came to Egypt later in the 12th century by way of mystics from Syria, I’d like to believe that their documented medicinal use of Cannabis — da ting back to the earliest roots of Egyptian culture — included proce ssing the plant into a hash or rosin. How else would they have the wherew ithal to milk poppies, which eventually led to morphine, a drug that made surgeries possible and changed the misery of battlefield medica l tents during the Civil War and every war since?
Powerful medicines come from plants, and much of today’s pharmacopeia is generated by isolating compounds from holistic and natural medicines that were known to humans for thousands of years. From willow bark leading to aspirin or moldy bread giving the w orld the gift of penicillin, nature has been taking care of us for a very long t ime.
"THE EGYPTIANS WERE THE FIRST TO DOCUMENT THE HEALING AND EUPHORIC EFFECTS OF THE POPPY PLANT. THEY WOULD MILK THE FLOWER FOR A DELICIOUS NECTAR THAT’S FULL OF NATURALLY OCCURRING OPIATES. ”
I believe the Egyptians knew this, as people of the ancient pas t were incredibly connected with the natural world. They also had much more free time without the distractions of social media, daytime reruns of “Ridiculousness” and “Is It Cake?” on YouTube, so I’m sure somebody was trying to squish weed into resin to get a little higher. Which has nothing to do with why we chose this amazing cover image, but I digress. It could be the 75 concentrate reviews I wrote last week talking! So load up a dab, take a big inhale and enjoy the fruits of our labor: the best dabs we could find in each Leaf, reviewed with love and gratitude to God for the benefits of our favorite ancient plant, Cannabis.
TEXAS GOVERNOR VETOES BAN ON THC, CANNABIS
TEXAS GOV. Greg Abbott vetoed a ban on THC from hemp that was spearheaded by his lieutenant governor, exposing a rift and offering hope to Cannabis users and businesses in the Lone Star State.
Texans have enjoyed several years of a thriving Cannabis industry that has sprouted under the THCA and Delta 8 loopholes that have caused weed sales to proliferate around the country. Since the farm bill of 2018 established “Cannabis” as having Delta 9 THC, entrepreneurial folks have been using test results showing that weed has no THC and only THCA before smoking as evidence that it’s hemp, not Cannabis. This technical distinction is simply that when combusted, THCA converts to Delta 9 THC, which delivers the high we all love.
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick has been sipping the prohibitionist tea, claiming there are countless “families who have seen their loved ones’ lives destroyed by these very dangerous drugs.” The dangerous drugs he is talking about aren’t meth or fentanyl. It’s weed. Lt. Gov. Patrick and a cabal of ignorant lawmakers sought a complete ban on hemp and THC, which cleared the Senate and House and went all the way to the governor's desk. At a recent press conference, Lt. Gov. Patrick doubled down on his claims saying, “You might go into a store and buy [a THC lollipop] and not even know that you’re getting your kid high on drugs and hooked for life.”
Luckily, Gov. Abbott was as sick of the lies and Drug War bullshit as the average Texan is. With 53,000 jobs on the line, billions in sales and many businesses growing because of hemp and Cannabis, Abbott has seen the writing on the wall and wants a piece of the growing industry to take roots in Texas.
“Texas must enact a regulatory framework that protects public safety, aligns with federal law, has a fully funded enforcement structure and can take effect without delay,” Gov. Abbott said after announcing the veto. For those in the know, this sounds like a plan to legalize Cannabis, which he called for in a special legislative session starting July 21. For a state legislature that only meets every two years, this special session is a big use of resources and indicates that legalization could be coming soon to the Lone Star State.
MORE THAN 300 NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS ASSISTED IN A DEA OPERATION TARGETING ILLEGAL MARIJUANA FARMS IN THE COACHELLA VALLEY ON JUN. 18.
NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS
SENT FOR LA RIOTS RAID
WEED FARM INSTEAD
TROOPS SENT TO LOS ANGELES to combat the rising lawlessness and riots found themselves hundreds of miles away protecting Drug Enforcement Administration and immigration agents as they raided Cannabis farms suspected of being illegal.
While it might take the National Guard or Marines to break up a major protest, it seems like overkill to send those same troops out to a weed farm, no matter how illegal it is. Around 315 troops found themselves in the Coachella Valley raiding weed farms instead, looking for illegal activity and labor. Around 75 workers were detained pending verification of immigration status. While the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals approved the use of troops to stop violent protests, it's unlikely that they’d approve this use, which is essentially sending a military force to raid an agricultural farm.
The raids occurred on a 112-degree day and spread across nearly 1,000 acres of land, which was too much for the freedomhating DEA to handle.
“Due to the vast magnitude of the operation, we needed partners to safeguard not just our personnel but also the individuals either working or living in the premises,” the DEA spokesperson said, noting that they found two men padlocked inside a trailer.
It is unclear how the arrest of 75 farmworkers is going to win the War on Drugs or stop the violence from cartels that trade fentanyl and push human trafficking across the border with Mexico. But one thing is clear: While the attention of the people is focused on larger societal issues of immigration and potential World War III, the War on Drugs is happily chugging along and grinding lives up for a plant in a conflict that has lasted longer than all prior U.S. wars combined.
CANNABIS USERS 'TOO
DANGEROUS TO HAVE GUNS'
THE LARGEST constitutional rights fight coming to America is that of Cannabis users, who have been denied their constitutional rights to bear arms based on a Drug Enforcement Administration classification and fear that marijuana makes people violent.
The Second Amendment of the Constitution reads, “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
This language is clear and states that people’s right to bear arms should not be taken away for any purpose. Court cases have narrowed this in what many consider infringements, but no attack on this essential liberty casts a wider net than those restricting freedom to Cannabis users. According to federal law, illegal drug users cannot possess firearms, and Cannabis falls into this category.
This disturbing use of lawfare against citizens rights has been defended in court based on the fact that drug users can quit at any time.
Federal law “bars their possession of firearms only temporarily and leaves it within their power to lift the restriction at any time; anyone who stops habitually using illegal drugs can resume possessing firearms.”
Does this mean that when smoking a joint, a legal background-checked firearm owner is suddenly committing a federal crime?
Solicitor General D. John Sauer has insisted on the Biden administration’s interpretation, saying “users of illegal drugs [including marijuana] pose a clear danger of misusing firearms.”
There are three major cases challenging the constitutional validity of these laws. In U.S. v. Cooper, the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a three-year prison sentence for a Cannabis user convicted of firearms violations simply for using the plant.
“Nothing in our tradition allows disarmament simply because [the defendant] belongs to a category of people, drug users, that Congress has categorically deemed dangerous,” the ruling said.
In a time where so much societal focus is on the potential loss of rights, here is the largest class action group of all, facing the loss of the right to bear arms and secure personal protection and freedom. Cannabis users consist of all adult ages and demographics, vote blue and red, pay taxes and have categorically lost their most fundamental rights for using a plant that is legal in most of the country.
Continuing this illegal prohibition of rights is akin to Congress saying we choose Pepsi over Coke (instead of alcohol and pharmaceuticals over weed), and everyone who drinks Coke has now lost their freedom. For this writer and Diet Coke lover, it's a wonder if more people would protest the loss of a fizzy beverage than their most fundamental freedom.

3 RD ANNUAL AWARDS PARTY
The third annual Northwest Leaf Bowl continued a legacy as the largest free event in Washington’s Cannabis industry, gathering 2,000plus attendees to celebrate award-winning Cannabis in a display of responsible freedom made possible by a partnership with our venue sponsor Commencement Bay Cannabis.
Nestled under the majestic snowcapped peak of Mount Rainier, the event was held in a parking lot festival format next to CBC, with Cannabis brands, art vendors, food trucks, free Redbull Italian sodas at the PRC Hospitality Booth and tons of Cannabis shared by consenting adults! Attendees to this free, private event presented by Advanced Nutrients had tickets registered in advance, and after a big line built up, were free to roam around the event and experience the sights, tastes and smells of food trucks and delicious terps wafting in the crisp spring air. Other free attractions included a free Axe Throwing Experience by Rove Brands, puff putt mini golf, a Prismatic Brands lounge and the Constellation Cannabis dab bar experience.
As the event progressed, Tacoma local comedian, influencer and Cannabis lover Chris Crayzie took the stage to present over 100 awards for best flowers, concentrates, edibles, topicals and more. Chris’ electric stage presence along with our beautiful presenter and judge MF Jane kept the crowd hyped to see what brands were leaving the event with new swagger and the glory of a Leaf Bowl award.
While the stars of the show are always the winners, the biggest hit at the event was the ability to purchase and consume Cannabis on-site. The Leaf Bowl was the first partnership between a tribal cannabis enterprise and a private entity, Leaf Magazines, to throw a joint event featuring these freedoms on full display. The onsite sales experience by CBC featured a pop-up dispensary with discounted products for sale, and the line was long for the entire event, as attendees stocked up on their favorites from the show.
Consumption of Cannabis should not be controversial after a decade of legalization and billions of dollars of pot sold in Washington state, but the Legislature and the Liquor Control Board have done nothing to address a glaring issue in the Cannabis industry.
There was a steady flow of guests arriving all day — all of whom were in great spirits to come together and celebrate Washington's amazing Cannabis community.
For the first time, our NW Leaf Bowl was held outside this year, giving everyone more space to breathe and blaze.
Attendees were free to roam around the event and experience the sights, tastes and smells of food trucks and delicious terps wafting in the crisp spring air.
The state says it's fine to buy weed (as they collect a 47% tax on each purchase) but has not created a pathway that allows adults to gather and consume it in the same way as alcohol drinkers.
Through their successful chain of retail stores, Commencement Bay Cannabis, the CBC team had already proven the model of on-site event sales, which gave the Leaf team the inspiration to manifest a big dream: a Northwest Leaf Bowl on tribal land, featuring the ability to buy discounted Cannabis from our vendors on-site through the tribal pop-up dispensary and consume those products legally in celebration of the plant. We are proud to have thrown this event safely while supporting tribal art and food vendors, the greater Cannabis industry community and consumers in Washington.
The Leaf Magazines team would like to thank the Puyallup Tribe and Commencement Bay Cannabis for giving us the chance to throw this meaningful event
and demonstrate to the community and state that Cannabis events are safer than alcohol — and more fun! We would also like to thank our sponsors, including our Presenting Sponsor Advanced Nutrients, our Venue Sponsor Commencement Bay Cannabis, Lounge Sponsor Prismatic Brands, Hospitality Sponsor PRC, Photo Booth Sponsor Joint Rivers, Ax Throwing Sponsor Rove Brands, Stage Sponsor Danks, and our Dab Lounge Experience Sponsor Constellation Cannabis. This event would not be possible without House Of Cannabis handling our intake of entries from all our supporting brands, which is a little like herding stoned cats. And finally, we want to thank our readers and those who attended the Northwest Leaf Bowl. With your help and love, we’ve made it the biggest hit yet, and we’re ready to pack another big Bowl for next year!

MANDY WALTER
Meet Mandy: the budtender, musician and Cannabis enthusiast! For the past five years, Mandy has been a steady, smiling presence behind the counter, always offering guidance, great energy and genuine care to everyone who walks through the doors at PRC. Born and raised in Boise, Idaho, she made the move to Washington in 2015, where she found both healing and purpose in the Cannabis industry.
“I GOT INTO CANNABIS thanks to the family friend Tim,” Mandy said. “Quality Cannabis really helped me manage my anxiety, and when the chance to work in the industry came up, I took it. I’ve loved this job ever since.” Mandy’s preferred intake methods? Smoking flowers and enjoying high-quality edibles. Ask Mandy for a recommendation, and she’ll light you up talking about Svin Gardens’ One Piece, a super stoney, sticky and heavy strain, as well as Skagit Organics’ RSO, which she calls “a truly amazing oil” that works topically or as an edible.
When she’s not working, music is her jam — literally. Mandy plays violin and cello with local powerhouse Savanna Woods, calling it “a huge honor” to perform with such a talented artist.
“QUALITY CANNABIS REALLY HELPED ME MANAGE MY ANXIETY, AND WHEN THE CHANCE TO WORK IN THE INDUSTRY CAME UP, I TOOK IT.”
She also treasures quiet time at home with her family.
So why PRC, Mandy?

210 CANNABIS
PAT, JAY, NONI & HAN
“WHAT REALLY GOT ME WAS THE GREAT SELECTION. WANT HIGHEND, SMALLBATCH ROSIN? THEY GOT IT, BUT THEY ALSO STOCK $2.10 PREROLLS.”
CO.
I’ve been to 210 Cannabis Co. a few times now, and every time I stop by, I’m reminded why I keep coming back. It’s right off Interstate 5 at Exit 210, tucked next to River Rock and not far from the Angel of the Winds Casino. The clean building, sharp layout and glowing green sign always pull me in.
THE FIRST TIME I walked in, I didn’t know what to expect. I’d heard it was owned by the Stillaguamish Tribe, and that already had my respect, but the experience was even better than I expected. The staff was chill, helpful and easy to talk to, and there was no pressure. I remember one of the budtenders breaking down the difference between their regular flower and the 210 Reserve, the stuff grown in living soil by the tribe. I picked some up, and it was fire! What really got me was the great selection. Want high-end, small-batch rosin? They got it, but they also stock $2.10 prerolls. I almost laughed when I saw the price, thinking it was a typo. But they were legit — full gram, rolled tight and smooth. I grabbed a handful, and they quickly became my go-to for road trips or quick sessions.
Every time I’ve been back, the place has been consistent. Good vibes, solid product, fair prices and a sense that you’re supporting something meaningful. This isn’t just another chain — it’s the Stillaguamish Tribe’s shop, and you can feel that purpose behind it.
Now, when I’m headed down south or even just passing through Arlington, I make it a point to stop at 210. It’s not just a dispensary anymore. For me, it’s a regular part of the trip.

White Gummy
“While it tastes nothing like gummy bears, it'll swipe you in the nose like an angry bear ready for his Scooby Snacks.”
Bright purple buds rip out of the jar with such ferocity, it reminds us of Mac Dre, as we growl like a bear and prepare to go White Gummy dummy with each delicious hit of Method’'s madness.
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, a jar of weed comes along so loud that it disrupts senses, and this is one such cut. The White Gummy is a cross of Gummiez x White Runtz by Compound Genetics, and while it tastes nothing like gummy bears, it’ll swipe you in the nose like an angry bear ready for his Scooby Snacks.
The original gummy bears were the dancing bears of European traveling circuses, whose trainers would lead them to do tricks and dance while putting themselves in harm’s way. If you’ve ever taken a really big bong hit of overwhelmingly powerful weed, like this White Gummy, then you know how to do the dancing bear dance. It’s a slightly hunched shuffle with an open mouthed smile, as a precarious sense of balance adds to the authenticity of this sure-to-be new social media trend.
Gummy bears were first called Dancing Bears in this tradition before becoming Golden Bears, with a history dating back to 1922 in Germany (where Haribo was founded). Today, Haribo’s kitchens crank out 100,000,000 gummies a day, which tells us that stoners aren’t the only ones who love gummies!
Opening a jar of this flower unleashes the beast, as ferocious sour sugared gummy notes battle with dark Z and ripe, rubber, gassy, lemon cookies to see which flavor dominates the scene. Each bud is perfectly trimmed, completely frosted in trichomes and beautifully purple-tinged. Breaking it up highlights an excellent cure, with a thick density and gentle stickiness, which burns with an easy smoothness indicative of clean growing practices.
Effects grab the mind ferociously, gripping the chest in a warm floaty embrace before slamming into the frontal lobes, melting into a goofy, melty mind state.
Sounds and sensations hit harder, and a desire to move takes hold, as a supremely stoned, happy-go-lucky daze delivers the mind and body to the dance floor — like the dancing bears of old.

Mad Mark “Amnesia” BHO
Forgetting things is both a tragedy and a skill. When it’s keys, sad. But forgetting being mad or letting go of negativity is priceless, and weed offers the pathway to a trouble-free mind. That’s why Mad Mark grows such great weed! Amnesia is the ultimate mind melter, sending a rush of hazy citrus and pine with a tart, gassy exhale straight to the dome, clouding the mind in stoney bliss and imparting a delightful sense of forgetfulness that’s perfect to end a day. madmarkfarms.com @madmarkfarms

WOMEN WHO WASH
GET TO KNOW TWO OF THE CANNABIS INDUSTRY’S HASHANISTAS
OREGON
Athena Snow cannonballed into the solventless scene with the kind of commitment that can’t be taught. Now, after years of a behindthe-scenes hustle that has not gone unnoticed by her fellow hash makers, she’s preparing to launch what may be Oregon’s only entirely woman-run, recreational hash brand, from seed selection to single-source solventless.
ATHENA SNOW
@SIMONELLITONY ORIGINALLY from Sacramento, Athena landed in Talent, Oregon, six years ago with her wife, Becca, who now works full time at BonaFide. She started washing hash at an indoor farm when she hopped on the opportunity to head their new solventless lab. Hungry to learn and eager for opportunity, Athena soaked up every resource she could find and leveled up with a hands-on intensive from legendary maker and consultant Nikka T. Her skills spoke loud and clear at the 2023 Smoking Jacket when a last-minute product mishap threatened her original entry, and a quick-thinking collaboration with BonaFide flower became one of the event’s standouts, gaining her further notoriety.
RAISED IN a conservative Christian household in Yakima and Arlington, Jayme was taught that Cannabis was strictly off-limits. But during her college years at Eastern Washington University — where she played women’s rugby — her world began to expand. “Cannabis became central to our postgame rituals,” she said. “It calmed the adrenaline, soothed our bodies and built community.”
As an athlete, she quickly discovered its deeper value: Cannabis helped her recover and gain strength. “I was never the bulkiest on the team, to my surprise the munchies effect became an unexpected ally for my weight gain goals.”
In those early days, Jayme began selling herb, earning trust as the approachable dealer and giving her access to bulk supply.
Her first swing at extraction was an experiment with the old-school hair-straightener method; she was captivated by the plant’s complexity. Discovering legends like Frenchy Cannoli and Dr. Raphael Mechoulam — revered as the Father of Cannabis Research — sparked a wave of passion.
As she gained more medicinal knowledge around the plant, a childhood Christian proverb echoed in her heart: “God’s provisions are the ultimate remedy for negative forces.” Jayme realized her path was her passion, and it was divinely aligned.

Meet Jayme Arvidson-Bakker
Kathman: Washington’s soulful washer, newlywed lesbian and proud hashanista rooted in the sacred science of solventless extraction.
“I call myself an organic chemist,” she said, smiling.
“I work with the elements: earth, air, fire and water.”
If there is one thing she can say about women in this space, it is that, “Women share a deep connection with this feminine plant. We deserve a seat at the table and a voice that’s respected.”
Looking to the future, Athena will launch The Hash Coven by early 2026, and plans are already brewing. With her hopes to nurture educational events and community connection, this brand won’t just conjure up top-tier hash and rosin, but it will also provide a safe space for women in hash to grow together. @21ATHENA @THEHASHCOVEN
Jayme entered the legal market in 2017 as a budtender, and in 2019 began refining her extraction craft with Soulshine.
Today, she works at Royal Tree Gardens as their sole solventless extractor, mentored by the gifted Aaron Munday (@rosin_hashelhoff).
This season, look for her Trop Cherry and Biscotti Chunk Rosin by Royal Tree Gardens on shelves now — crafted with love, integrity and OG soul. @JBWOLF12 @ROYALTREEGARDENS_SOLVENTLESS

When it comes to smoking hash, we've come a long way from butter knives on the stove. Those blackened paddles were once a mainstay. And while smoking devices continually evolve, arguably, the dab tool has stayed closer to the world of craft. Here are some of the ways people are putting their unique spin on this essential yet classic object.
True dream-makers, these German crafters launched in 2021 with a goal to tailor custom dab tools to match the headiest pieces popping up in private collections. I personally have a magnetic Apex Ancillary tool from DMK with the disembodied heads from “Spirited Away.” dmk710.com @dmk_710 Allow 7-14 business days for shipping.
Made in limited batches of 10, these highly prized tools from glass legends Mothership are finally out to the public. Made from stainless steel and with some serious heft, they look like a Space Age communicator. @mothership_glass | MothershipGlass.com
the terpshank
These handcrafted, stainless steel tools are modeled off of a hand-forged cheese knife. Their creator, Bubba, told Leaf Magazine, “I really liked the aesthetic of the shaping and instantly knew I wanted to turn it around.” These are the luxury vehicles of the hash community. @bubbasface - Watch Instagram for new drops, or catch him in person at trade shows
cellini & co. canablades
Handcrafted in the Bay Area, Cellini & Company are the Ollivanders of dab tools. Started in 2018, Cellini himself produces each one in his workshop, matching the perfect combinations of shaped wooden handles, brass fittings and stainless steel tips. celliniandco.com @cellini_co
These are miniature versions of classic weapons from around the world. We asked him what was the craziest recreation he’s ever made. “I’d have to say the Dragon Spear,” he answered. “It’s a solid, hand-carved piece of gold-dyed curly maple with a tanzanite eye, custom-fitted to a 7,500-year-old black bog oak staff.” @canablades @canatools DM for purchase.
snuff glass
A favorite with photographers, Snuff attributes this reputation to focusing on how a tool looks from a macro level as well as in your hand. “I use my eye for detail to create something that contains visually pleasing subtle nuances,” they told the Leaf. @snuffglass | Watch Instagram for new drops.

Jred
In the quiet Pacific Northwest summers, long before the name "Jred" meant anything in the glass world, it started like so many good stories: with a spark of curiosity and a friend who didn’t like being watched.
JARED "JRED" BETTY’S entry into glassblowing wasn’t through formal training or some prestigious art school. It began with admiration. His friend was making some of the coolest bubblers and pipes he’d ever seen. Jred started buying pieces to resell them, but something deeper was brewing. Watching glass take shape, even in glimpses, made something click. “I could do that,” he thought. And when his friend, who trained under Bob Badtram, finally let him watch a small part of the process, it was enough. The seed was planted, and from there, it was hustle and heat. Alongside a close friend, now known as Fresh Pyrex Glass, Jred took the plunge. The two split the cost of their first oxygen and propane tanks and got their hands on a pair of first-run GTT torches. They set up a hot shop behind Fresh’s grandfather’s house. The summer of ’97 was full of melted glass and magic.

WHAT SETS JRED APART is an obsessive commitment to perfect form and technical challenge.
From classic bongs and pipes to intricate recyclers and filla work, he constantly pushes to refine difficult techniques rather than chase trends.
“I’m really just trying to challenge myself,” he said. “If it’s hard, I want to try it. I want my patterns clean, my shapes proper. That’s what inspires me.” His pieces aren’t just beautiful; they work beautifully. That balance has earned him a loyal following of collectors and smokers who respect both craftsmanship and performance.
One of Jred’s most recognized contributions to the glass world came from experimentation.
At the time, he was working on a tech recycler and had an idea for a new percolator design. Midbuild, it struck him: That same concept might work for a quartz nail. He built it, fired it up and tested it, finding it worked better than expected. The Diamond Knot was born.
Its efficient heat retention and vaporization mechanics made it a game-changer for hash oil users. It quickly took off, and not just because it looked cool. It performed like nothing else at the time. A happy accident turned into a lasting legacy.
Soon after came the Diamond Loop, a recycler design incorporated into a quartz bucket with Diamond Knot diffusion.
Today, Jred lives in Stanwood, Washington, with his family. The complex is a slice of heaven where the kids can be kids, play in the pond, skate the ramp, ride the trails or just enjoy the sunset that sits in the shadows of the legendary Pilchuck Glass School. This is truly a dream location, nestled in an area known for its rich glass culture and creative energy. Whether he’s traveling or enjoying the beautiful PNW, Jred stays at the torch, building the kind of work that doesn’t need a loud introduction — it speaks for itself.

Exploring the carefully curated creations of this month's cover artist
Hailing from the seaside town of Brighton, United Kingdom, is creative coder, 3D artist and developer DrBaph. They studied computer science at Middlesex University before moving on to Northbrook College and University of Brighton, where they achieved a level 5 certification (foundation degree) in illustration followed by a level 6 certification (bachelor’s degree with honors) in illustration. During that time and in the nearly ten years following their graduation, DrBaph has created everything from intricate hash rosin renderings to 3D models of abstract art and architecture.
SUCCESSFULLY MERGING the natural beauty of Cannabis extracts with the combined intelligence of humans and machines takes time and practice. Using rough sketches that evolve to a liquid simulation engine, they are able to “mimic the natural flow of rosin.”
Upon first looking at a piece of their art, you wouldn’t be able to tell if it was hand-sculpted using hash rosin or digitally produced. Dancing on that line is something DrBaph has perfected, creating limitless potential for their art.
You may have seen some of their creations for companies in the Cannabis space, including Puffco’s Puffcon
Block Party, Glob Mops, Terp Burps and many more. Attention to detail is one of DrBaph’s main mantras, working layer by layer on their art to create depth, lighting and movement intricacies that exist in hash rosin. Whether they are whipping up a psychedelic piece of hash art (like the cover of this magazine) or creating something fun (like a buttery rosin jam loaded waffle), it’s easy to see why people on social media around the world have flocked to this artist.
Art is meant to stimulate thought and reflection and push the boundaries of what we can create. Inspiration can be drawn from a number of sources, but
"Taking something we are so familiar with, rosin, and showing it to us in an unfamiliar way is just the kind of stimulation DrBaph is generating with these pieces."
discovering a new form of art is a sure way to light that creative fire. Taking something we are so familiar with, rosin, and showing it to us in an unfamiliar way is just the kind of stimulation DrBaph is generating with these pieces. Whether you create art for yourself or to share with the world, just the act of creating something can take away the stresses of daily life. Thank you to DrBaph for lighting a fire in our minds and inspiring artists around the world! DRBAPH.COM
