Travis Dauria - The Higher Function

On this episode of Terp Trends, we’re bringing together two worlds that ride waves: surfing and hash. Our guest today is Travis Dauria, an educator with Higher Function, where he’s known for breaking down premium concentrate education and elevating budtender knowledge across the East Coast. Travis is as passionate about hash as he is about surfing, and that’s saying something. When he’s not in the classroom or on the sales floor teaching about terpenes and solventless, you can find him chasing waves down at the Jersey Shore. His career spans time in cultivation, concentrates, and retail, giving him a 360° perspective of the cannabis industry. Today, we’ll dig into the art of hash, the parallels between surf culture and cannabis culture, and why education is the backbone of this industry. Travis’s mission is clear: help both staff and consumers ride the wave of knowledge with confidence.
