Tokes On NY: Ep. 4 – Just Say Yes with Catherine Hiller | A Life in Cannabis

Breaking it down with Full Melt NYC

We Want To Hear From You! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2472064/fan_mail/new] I sat down with Colt of Full Melt NYC to chat hash and the NY market. We chat about what makes great hash rosin, the importance of branding, the grind behind the perfect small batch, and what it actually takes to stand out in New York’s evolving market. From pheno hunts and “sandy” trichomes to the reality of rosin margins and building a brand from the ground up… this one gets deep.  We also get into the heart of it. Why do people do this? The medicinal side, the recovery stories, the passion, the pain, and the purpose behind the plant. If you care about craft, culture, and keeping it real in NY cannabis… this one hits. This one is grounded in New York soul.
