Sea of Green

Emily and Dakota Meshell are a husband and wife team who have their fingers on the pulse of the cannabis scene. They heavily influence the look and products that are offered to consumers in Colorado and beyond. Their passion for cannabis is their guiding light and as a result they have achieved success in a very competitive landscape.

Cam Mason, aka UTICA, is the embodiment of the city of Denver and its cannabis industry. Pioneering and at a crossroads. I sat down with him and the lovely Halley Cohen to discuss his life and the current state of one of our favorite haunts, Colfax Ave.

Jarell Wall came to Colorado with an idea and a dream - to elevate a fixture of the subculture, blunts. Over the last several years he and his company, Gentleman Quinn's, has done just that and proved that you can be high and high class.

Historically most commercial cannabis operations have propagated their plants via cloning. In the broader ag world that is not the case. Ryan Power of Atlas Seed is out to change that paradigm by developing quality seeds through a breeding program that emphasizes science and a deep relationship with the natural environment.

Rachel Gallagher is a powerhouse woman of weed. She has been the tip of the spear for the company 1906 for the last 7 years. Through that time she has been witness to and a part of the emerging cannabis industry. To know her is to love her and without a doubt, laugh with her.

Most people in the cannabis world have spent their time running from the law. Ironically the law, and those who practice it, are who gave birth to the modern cannabis industry.

A lot has happened since the early days of medical cannabis with more than half of the United States allowing for some level of use. Bruce Granger has been there since the very beginning and is still working in the industry that he helped to pioneer.

We like to talk to people in the industry a lot, but this week I decided to bring in a good friend of mine and long time cannabis consumer J, to get the perspective of a person who has lived through prohibition, semi-legalization and, just maybe, federal legalization.

The cannabis industry is challenging for everyone. Being a woman in cannabis has you doing everything backwards and in heels while dabbing. My friend Halley Cohen has managed to perform this trick for over a decade.

Commercial cannabis cultivation is a difficult task. This week Liam Spenser, a master grower, shares his experiences on how he came to cannabis, the current state of the industry and where he thinks this may all be headed.
