If you feel like you know the real story of the cannabis scene exploding in Europe in the early 90s and 2000s, prepare to rewrite your history books with this episode with one of the true godfathers of herb.Blackleaf is joined by international cannabis icon and lore keeper, Julian of TH Seeds, to hear his first-hand accounts of trapping indoor grows in Paris, moving packs to Amsterdam during its hay day, learning under Scott Blakey aka Shantibaba himself, and winning over 18 cannabis cups over his career since the early 1990s.Julian dives deep into the formation of the famous Greenhouse Seeds, arguably the most successful cannabis business in the world, and winner of over 42 High Times Cannabis Cups since 1985. Along the way, you’ll hear never-before-heard origin stories of other legendary seed banks like Mr. Nice and Archive Seed Bank, and the relationship that Mr. Nice, Julian, Arjan, and Neville all shared during those times.Blackleaf comes swinging with some huge questions during this episode such as whether or not Skunk is dead and whether good weed needs to even be over 15-18% THC. Julian responds with his in-depth opinion on the European weed market, highlighting the booming Barcelona market, and reassuring Blackleaf that iconic cultivars like Skunk, Haze, G13, White Widow, and White Rhino all still have original cuts floating around Europe from the OGs that are either still on shelves or could be revived.Throughout this pod, Julian weighs in heavily on his opinions on the state of the American weed market, claiming it moves too quickly and doesn’t pay enough homage to the time-honored commercial genetics that has spawned the designer hybrids we see come and go so quickly today, as well as why Barcelona has become the new hub for all of the seasoned Dutch growers.This is hands-down one of the most interesting guests we’ve ever had on FSOTD in terms of stake in the culture. Julian easily has over 30 years of experience hunting genetics, feminizing seeds, cultivating fire weed, and is now working with his partners to help enormous commercial grows around Europe hunt their own proprietary genetics and maximize their systems.Subscribe to our channel and the FSOTD.com site to keep up with other key players and enjoy conversations with originators of the culture you can’t find anywhere else.

Mandee Bence (@mandeebence) is the real secret weapon of this episode, y’all.

They also give vital advice on building your first portfolio, establishing connections via LinkedIn and social with buyers, and faking it until you make it in the most masterful way possible.

If you’ve seen any of the headlines about Michigan’s legal weed market surpassing California’s, you’d be crazy not to soak up the game from this pod.PackGods and Blackleaf get an insider’s look at the booming market in the midwest from Hytek founders and cultivators, Chocolate and Tyler (@hytekdetroit.) From inside Hytek’s cushy creative space, you’ll get to hear some of the wildest stories you’ve never heard about what’s going down right now in Detroit and the surrounding areas.Hytek co-founder, Chocolate, goes in with a full clip of hot takes on the current state of the Michigan market from the beginning of the episode and throughout. You’ll hear him make bold claims like Michigan only getting connoisseur-grade flower within the last three years. Or that live resin carts will always be better than live rosin carts.Throughout the episode, Chocolate and Tyler provide invaluable intel on the booming border town dispensaries in Michigan that are essentially moving millions monthly to out-of-state trappers. Tyler affirms these numbers by highlighting Michigan’s extremely low taxation on recreational products right now, also bringing up that there is no cap on purchase quantities. Blackleaf jokes that he go in and accidentally buy five pounds of five different flavors. If you’ve been wondering about the profitability of pre-packaged flower versus bulk flower in Michigan’s market, Chocolate and Tyler drop immense game on what’s been working for them with their cultivation space and distro. According to these two, the deli-style dispensaries we remember in California from back in the Prop 215 days are the current wave in the Midwest. Midwest customers are apparently eating up the ability to look at fresh jars of bulk flower and see each nug weighed out for their bags. And this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of all the secrets these two let out about Detroit’s market…we didn’t even get into the cheap land they’ve been able to scoop up.You’d be a fool not to absorb every tidbit possible from this interview with one of the biggest cultivators currently selling out of hype strains like Popz 41 across countless Michigan retailers.Subscribe to our channel and the FSOTD.com site to keep up with other key players and enjoy conversations with tastemakers from the culture you can’t find anywhere else.

Get ready to feel inspired when you hear the story of Jesse and Ty from Exotic Matter founded in Michigan back in 2009.The Exotic Matter (@_exotic_matter) story is one of pure discovery and unbridled passion for the plant. Today, they are dominating the rec market across Michigan, recently opening their own storefront, The Trap, in Muskegon, boasting the cheapest prices in the city. It all began with Jesse’s dream and uncontrollable urge to start growing a few plants wherever he could stash them. When he met local underground growers online and was able to gain entry to their private forums, Jesse found himself exchanging seeds in the mail while he was simultaneously learning how to clone and find his way.Jesse was always hungry to take the next big step and move away from his residential trap 4-lighters to a bigger commercial situation with staff. To get the knowledge he needed, Jessie spent time earning his stripes helping other cultivators run upwards of 150 lights until he and his partner found their sweet spot. He chronicles the growing pains of having to go from his various garage grows to a full-fledged commercial facility with 20 staff members. It all paid off when Jesse’s family gave him the green light to build a massive outdoor grow on their 300-year-old family land that sits on an ancient glacial riverbed and empties into the Great Lakes of Michigan within the past several years. They’ve been cranking flower for fresh frozen and rosin pressing like gangbusters with no intention of stopping. BlackLeaf & PackGods remark on the impressive HQ they host the episode in as well as the flower presented to them.BlackLeaf & PackGods can’t get enough of their Blue Yuzu strain in this pod, it doesn’t take long for them to start complimenting the smoke. Jesse even comments on Michigan’s lack of enforcement on how much product you can buy at their shop in Muskegon legally. There is no limit! BlackLeaf postulates picking up 5 P’s of his favorite flavors and walking out the door with a big smile.If you’re curious about what exactly is going on in Michigan’s recreational market and who’s pumping out the most cutting-edge genetics and grabbing the best from Cali, you need to tap in with this conversation. Exotic Matter is sitting at the center of the culture in the Great Lakes State and steadily getting louder. They call themselves the “Keepers of the Fire” for a reason.Subscribe to our channel and the FSOTD.com site to keep up with new content and conversations with tastemakers and pioneers from the culture you can’t find anywhere else.

Try not to choke on your smoke between all the wild takes and unbelievable stories during this episode.Our team is still reeling from the hilarious honor of hosting the notoriously disruptive kings of cannabis comedy, the Black Market Vikings, in our studio. The guys sit down with OG jokesters Jack Rawson (@CJ_Humboldt) and Jeremy Sanders (@JayHumboldt) for a tell-all that takes more twists and gut-busting turns than you can even imagine. The Black Market Vikings have been shaking up the California cannabis scene from the jump, and it all began with CJ Humboldt trapping and scrounging for primo bag seeds around Humboldt County in 1996. We’ve all heard the legends about how pumping and jumping the Emerald Triangle was during the beginning of the Prop 215 era. If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to be a young buck back then with something to prove and plenty of good smoke in your lungs—you can’t miss this part of the pod.CJ and Jay chronicle the beginning of Black Market Vikings in the wake of legalization and California’s rapidly shifting market and finding their niche in outlandish cannabis comedy. You’ll hear CJ drop gems about everything from going viral for their “That Weed Is Trash” skit to narrowly surviving a nasty car crash while simultaneously getting roadhead. Yes, you read that right. And that’s just scraping the surface of the strange stories and success these two have seen despite facing countless obstacles and rough situations while growing up. Following the success of their YouTube channel and overall social media presence, Black Market Vikings further got their foothold in the culture when they began dropping crazy genetics that they didn’t even grow! Find out how CJ and Jay have built a weed brand without having to do any of the growing themselves. Learn the origin story of hype cultivars like White Lobster and their hilariously popular “Yamagucci Coochie” strain. We highkey recommend not skipping a single second of this conversation not only for the comedic relief, but the sheer audacity that some unique individuals have to stake their claim in the cannabis industry by literally any means necessary.

Stories From a Past Life: Freeway RickyEveryone thinks their life could be a movie. Today's guest would probably be right.Thank you for joining us for another thrilling episode of First Smoke of the Day! You're in for a treat this week as we sit down with one of our most genuinely interesting guests yet: the mythical Freeway Rick.In the 80s and 90s, Freeway Rick was THE kingpin in the California drug world, moving hundreds of millions of dollars worth of cocaine during his career. But his story isn't at all like the dramatic portrayals of drug lords in crime movies. Rick was never drawn to violence or power; he was just an ambitious young man trying to pull himself out of poverty through one of the few opportunities life afforded him.But it all came crashing down when he was finally caught and sentenced to life. While imprisoned, Rick resolved to improve himself and make amends for his part in the cocaine trade, starting with giving himself the education he was denied. He learned to read and write and eventually began studying law to appeal his sentence. His efforts paid off in the end; Rick eventually won his appeal, securing his release after over 20 years behind bars.Now an author, actor, and advocate for prison reform, Rick shares his unique point of view through books, documentaries, and interviews, warning others away from his troubled path. But his story doesn't end there.Rick is now making waves in the legal cannabis industry, leveraging his considerable skills to build a brighter future for himself and his community. His dispensary, Freeway Rick's, is a testament to Rick's determination and belief in second chances. Settle in for a rare and entertaining look into one of the most prominent figures of the 80s drug trade as Rick shares some larger-than-life stories about his rise, fall, and path to redemption, along with some interesting insights into how the current legal industry compares with the black market of his day.

THC Club saw the opportunity to strike at an untapped market and took it. Since then, they have opened an insane eighteen locations throughout Houston, becoming industry leaders in the Texas legal market and trend-setters in the THCa movement.Tune in to discover how THC Club is pioneering hemp products and how THCa is changing the conversation about cannabis in prohibition states.Did this change your mind about THCa?

There is a man named Heisenbern. He’s known as the “Walter White” of weed around his parts. It all started way back when having the top terp’d out strain that no one else had was a game changer. Ohhh wait, that's still exactly the same today. That’s where this story starts and where our man Heisenbern comes in. His flavors are mind stamping palette quenchers that always blow minds. Flavors with twists on original dank you’ve known to love but always a special pheno or cross that ALWAYS has his own style. Combos of flavors and terps that our whole team loves smoking every time we can get ahold of BTY’s strains. From the Strawberry Creamsicle “Fresa” one of my all time favorites this year to the all time banger ZCubed and a special pheno at that. Such insane flavors but paired with quality and some of our all time favorite smoke ! He has some of the best flavors we have had the pleasure of Sesh’n and White ashes for days. Heisenbern welcomed the first smoke of the day team into his home with Fire Smoke and Home cooked Traditional Mexican Food. He has built such a dope team around him and we talk about what that’s like. Trying to build all that he represents, the aspirations and goals. Very few smokers have the FLAVORS FOR DAYS like the man Heisenbern. Big smoke and bigger joints with neon white ash anytime he’s around. Welcome Heisenbern BTY to the First Smoke of the Day Family.

The best-set up ever!Mark of Jack Herer Cup, DeJaun of Green House Secret Farmers and the cannabis entrepreneur Captain Hooter are joining us today to talk about the best coffeeshops in Amsterdam, the Jack Herer Cup, strains and how we missed hanging out together during the pandemic. We also discussed about the experience of growing in Amsterdam, and how in Holland it is legal to sell growing equipment, for cannabis cultivation. Many of the home grown shops have small marijuana gardens on site, to help you see how easy it is. There are plenty of shops here in Amsterdam where you can see Mother Nature in full bloom. As known worldwide, smoking in a coffeeshop in Amsterdam is absolutely legal. However, it’s a bit different with growing and storing weed legally. Cannabis production for commercial purposes is forbidden. It’s also illegal for coffeeshops to store more than 500g. Besides, coffeeshops can only sell the maximum of 5g weed to a single customer. Keep track of this conversation and stay tuned for this amazing guest packed episode just for you all, the First Smoke Family!Connect with the guestsInstagram - Mark from Jack Herer CupInstagram - DeJaun of Green House Secret FarmersInstagram - Captain HooterThank you so much for tuning into First Smoke of The Day.
