How's it going? Jordan, excellent. Thank you for coming on the show. Farmer John recommended we speak to this man about hash. Actually, I had the honor, I had the honor of smoking a can of gar with you that Chris Trump had provided all of us when we were all hanging out at Tetra lounge. God, that has to have been two years ago. Hanja, at least two, maybe three, maybe three. That's wild How time flies. That was a, really the

initial Rocky Mountain grow cast meetup, that's right,

man. And I'm ashamed I actually got back out there for a class or two, but I haven't done one since. We do have one lined up in June. June 15, we're doing a meetup, a barbecue and meetup in Denver, and we're going to do an after party at Tetra lounge, that same place. So funny how it all comes great circle there. Yeah, but listen, man, I'm excited to speak to you today about rosin. Okay, we do this, I'd say a handful of times a year. We do entire episodes about making hash, about washing Bubble Hash, pressing rosin. People love it. It's the future of cannabis consumption. There's lots of people, including yourself, who are just growing for rosin. Now, flour isn't even really part of the equation. It's very fascinating. And I want to dig into all of this with you today, because you are very talented and knowledgeable on this subject. And I want to see what makes you tick before we get into the specifics, though, tell us about yourself. What's your background in cannabis? What brought you into growing and what brought you into committing to doing hash full time? Oh,

yeah, that's a, that's quite the story. You know, I first started consuming cannabis in 2002 I just was a casual consumer for the longest time. And then in 2012 me and my partner moved to Colorado from where we had lived originally. She's a very extreme medical patient. She has a disease called multiple hereditary exotosis. So cannabis was a way for her to get away from opiates and escape that, that life just having to take pills day after day, to just to be happy, just to try to be alive. We came to Colorado, and immediately she was able to get off of opiates with access to the hash that was here, you know. And very, very soon into that process, we realized that it was very strange, specific about what actually worked and what didn't press. Provide her any relief at all. So that was my reasoning for actually getting into the cannabis industry in itself.

Man, that's beautiful. I think that there's a lot of reasons people get into this game, but your story is one of those that's medically driven, and I love that. So I hear the story time and time again, the very specific medical condition only some strains help, and then you can't always find those strains, right? So I assume that led you to exactly now, I gotta grow this stuff just to have medicine, right? Is that kind of how it went?

You know, actually, I got into the industry any way I could. I was a tremor for a few months, until they realized I was really trying my hardest, and then they let me roll joints. And then, you know, I'd been consuming cannabis for over 10 years at that point, so obviously I could roll a joint. And then, you know, they just started letting me be a bud tender, and the passion showed. And then they transferred me to a grow, and I had 700 plants for the very first time with me and one other person, Whoa, yeah,
