This week, JP sits down with Old Man Dave, one of the true OGs of New York City cannabis culture. Now in his 80s, Dave has lived a life most people only hear about in stories. From moving weight during the golden era of NYC cannabis to navigating the ups and downs that came with it, Dave has seen it all. Through multiple chapters of life, relationships, business ventures, and run-ins with the law, Dave remained connected to the culture that helped shape New York. 🎵 With deep ties to the music industry, Dave was a regular around the legendary D&D Studios, rubbing shoulders with icons like DJ Premier and witnessing history firsthand.

Episode 182: They Accidentally Ended Up in Humboldt… and Changed Cannabis Forever- Humboldt Seed Co

Episode 182 of the Good PizzZa Podcast, we sit down with Nat and Benjamin from Humboldt Seed Company — one of the most respected cannabis seed companies in the world. But before Humboldt Seed Co. became a global name in cannabis genetics… both of these guys were just figuring life out. Benjamin actually wound up in California almost by accident after spending nearly 10 years riding trains across America — exploring life, traveling the country, and living outside the norm. Nat’s journey west looked completely different. He was heading toward California with his girlfriend at the time… until she dumped him on the way. Suddenly, he found himself at a crossroads — either go back home to the East Coast or keep pushing west. Thankfully… he kept going. Eventually, these two crossed paths living in a commune in Humboldt County, California — and the rest is history. Founded by Nathaniel Pennington in 2001, Humboldt Seed Company became known for building strong, reliable cannabis genetics while helping push the science and art of breeding forward. Benjamin has also played a major role in helping expand Humboldt Seed Co. internationally — building relationships and helping bring their genetics across the world through partnerships, exports, research, and global cannabis networking. His work has helped push Humboldt Seed Co. far beyond California into places like Europe, South America, Jamaica, and other emerging markets. They’re also doing some really cool stuff outside of Cannabis. They’re creating seeds and collecting genetics from all over the world of actual vegetables and herbs that you can cook with outside of just the cannabis seeds that they’re known for.  In this episode we get into: 🔥 The wild journeys that brought them to Humboldt 🔥 Riding trains across America for a decade 🔥 Living in communes in Northern California 🔥 Building Humboldt Seed Co. from the ground up 🔥 Massive pheno hunts and selecting keepers 🔥 Breeding stable genetics for growers worldwide 🔥 International cannabis expansion and global seed markets This episode is about adventure, genetics, risk-taking, and how two people from completely different paths wound up helping shape modern cannabis breeding. Real Humboldt story. Real genetics. No Cuts. Real culture. ⸻ 📍 Follow & Support Y’all know what time it is… Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we’re about to take this journey with Humboldt Seed Co.! ✌🏼❤️🍕 JP ⸻ 🔥 Big up my sponsors! @grovebags @buckmountaincannabis @cadre.verde @bambinas.sac @millspaysthebillsamsterdam @flowermillusa @dr.dabber Get a DISCOUNT at www.grovebags.com PROMO CODE: GOODPIZZZA Grab a Flower Mill with the Good PizzZa discount: https://www.flowermillusa.com/discount/GOODPIZZZA?ref=GOODPIZZZA Promo Code: GOODPIZZZA ⸻ 💨 Dr Dabber Discount www.drdabber.com PROMO CODE: GOODPIZZZA15 ⸻ 🍕 GRAB SOME SWAG www.goodpizzza.com ⸻ #HumboldtSeedCompany #CannabisGenetics #PhenoHunting #HumboldtCounty #BlueberryMuffin #JellyDonutz #CannabisCulture #GoodPizzZaPodcast Support the show [https://www.patreon.com/goodpizzza] Shop Merch: goodpizzza.com [https://goodpizzza.com] Instagram: @ [https://instagram.com/good.p1zzza]_goodpizzza_ Instagram: @goodpizzzapodcast [https://instagram.com/goodpizzzapodcast] Show some love: patreon.com/goodpizzza [https://patreon.com/goodpizzza]
