The legend of 420 goes all the way back to Fall of 1971 in San Rafael, CA. It begins with five homies (Dave Reddix, Larry Schwartz, Steve Capper, Mark Gravitch and Jeffrey Noel) from Marin County, CA named the Waldos.
One of the five Waldos had a friend whose brother was in the Coast Guard. That brother had been growing lil’ patches of cannabis in secret for years on the Point Reyes Peninsula. For some reason, the cadet got spooked that he may be caught; so instead of harvesting his last patch, he gave the Waldos a treasure map to where the patch was located, along with permission to keep… Read more
People are in hot pursuit of a good night’s rest as demonstrated by the growth in global market share for sleep aids, which is expected to reach $84.9 billion by 2021, according to studies conducted by Business Communications Company (BCC) Research Inc. Quality daily sleep is critical to maintaining optimal health and immune function, not to mention fueling our fast-pace life in the digital age. Experts recommend adults get between seven and nine hours of peaceful rest per night, but that can be difficult when you lay down at the end of a long day with a tense body and racing mind. With the… Read more
In the cannabis community, 7/10 has become an unofficial second holiday; the first being 4/20 (or 4:20 if you celebrate on the daily). If 4/20 is cannabis Christmas, 7/10 is like cannabis Flag Day. It’s not really that widely celebrated, but extraction enthusiasts, like flag enthusiasts, really want it to be taken seriously.
So what’s the deal with 710? How did it get started? The story of 710 can’t be told without first telling the story of 420.

It started with one plant.
Let’s go back, way back, way before the days we partnered with our favorite beer company, Lagunitas, to create a vape cartridge that tastes like beer. Way before the days of coeds getting cross-faded. We’re talking around 27 million years ago. Oh yeah, that far back.
Around that time, cannabis and hops (humulus) started evolving from one common ancestor into two species. Today, we call that plant family “Cannabaceae.”
The two plants still have a lot in common, both have jagged-edged leaves, have many of the same terpenes, offer benefits, have similar seed and… Read more
The process of distillation has been practiced for many centuries. Similar to producing spirits from fermented grain, we can distill our cannabis. Starting with a solution containing cannabis we want to isolate, we then apply heat until the desired ingredient evaporates, capture and isolate it in another container, then let it cool until it condenses back into a liquid, separated from unwanted additives or impurities.
Here’s what that process looks like:
Step 1: The first step in our distillation process is to decarboxylate our winterized cannabis oil. We start… Read more
