Tokin’ With the Infamous
For this month’s Tokin’ with the Infamous, I smoked out with edible master, Brett Long of Leaf of Life Lollies on the high holiday of 4/20 at the Red Dragon Brotherz 2nd Annual Las Vegas Cannabis Championship. Let’s just say there were too many top shelf strains to be named, and we smoked them all. Literally. All of them. And that was before we got into the edibles… Hopper: How long have you been making edibles? Brett: We’re in our second year of edibles. We’ve been making topicals for going on five years now. Hopper: Right on. Did you already have a passion for cooking, and adding cannabis was the logical thing to do?
Brett: Last year we won third place in edibles at the Las Vegas Cannabis Championship.

Hopper: I remember that. Good times. Brett: Also, last year we were voted the best toffee brittle by Edibles List Magazine. That was a real honor. Hopper: That’s huge. Brett: Yeah, we took a lot of pride in that one. This year we’re going to try to get to Chalice. We’re gonna try to collab with Pheno Finders, on the jerk spiced bacon we make. We want to enter that in the World Cup in Jamaica this year.
Brett: Absolutely. Our recipes are based on family recipes. We took the candy we ate as kids, that our grandmas made and just started medicating it.
Hopper: Wow. You know what they say … Everything is better with bacon! Brett: Absolutely! In-N-Out, going on a Double Double, yeah! Hopper: Are edibles your preferred way to medicate? Would you rather smoke, dab, or all of the above? Me, I’m an all of the above guy. Brett: I’m an all of the above guy, too. It depends on the situation. We try to make our edibles better for everyone all around at a lower dosage, so that they can have a little or eat more. Hopper: You’ve been crushing the award scene lately. What cups/awards have you taken?
Hopper: What else do you have coming up in the future? Like you said, things are moving fast. Brett: We’ve been working with a company called Quality Fresh Glass that puts on little Sesh’s. We’re trying to get into medicated catering. Hopper: You gotta let me know when one of those events are coming up. I definitely want to come out and support. Brett: Definitely. We are looking at another Big Bear event in June possibly.
Hopper: You’re known for your award winning brittle, what other goodies do you have to offer? Speaking of, I just tried your new jalapeno brittle. It was epic! So is the medicated bacon. Brett: Yeah, some friends of ours begged us to start cooking and we worked on it for a long time. Once we felt comfortable with it, we took it out. The first Sesh we took it to sold out in an hour and a half or so. It was gone that fast. It’s to the point now where we only take it to special events because we can’t produce it fast enough.
medicine should be tested. I believe that they need to know what’s in their medicine. We’re also big on child-proof packaging and things like that.
Hopper: Big Bear is always nice, I wouldn’t mind heading up. Brett: We just did one there, and it went really well.
Hopper & Brett Hopper: Hell yeah, that sounds dope! Brett: We’re looking at some big things this year. Hopper: That’s huge. Just keep it growing. No pun intended! Haha! Brett: I think our biggest thing coming up this year is becoming Nevada compliant. That’s going to be huge for us, working with Red Dragon Brotherz. We are very blessed to have had all of our packaging approved by the state. We got our state card for Nevada, and we’re just waiting on that facility. Hopper: Are you happy with the cannabis community as it is now? Brett: Well, I personally feel there should be some changes. Hopper: That goes to my next questionWhat would you like to see changed? Brett: I’m a big proponent of the patients. I believe that people’s
Hopper: It’s been another great sesh, it’s always nice to hang out with you. Are there any shoutouts you wanna throw before we head out? Brett: Always, Red Dragon Brotherz. You can’t beat what they’re doing for the patients. They are truly patients over profits. Hopper: True that. They are the real deal. Brett: It’s nice to be connected with people that believe in that philosophy. Also, a shout out to my local place that I like to hang out at, The Hippie Lounge in Hemet, California. Hopper: Next time I’m up that way, I’ll have to swing by and hang out. Brett: Absolutely, we can sesh at any time! Hopper: For sure, so until next time, we’ll leave it on that note. Nice tokin’ with you, brother! Peace!
