Crunch Berriez: the strain that named itself 🥣
⚠️ before fiya: exotic genetix had a blueberry × triple og called crunch berries, while an unrelated @oopzallberryz version appeared by 2021. but it was when the flavor & name perfectly aligned, that the market really took notice.
🥊 gas roots: by 2022, @FiyaFarmer had selected gassius clay, ([gelonade × do-si-dos] × illmatic), with backpack boyz & 5points. crossing it with billy kimber og produced kimber slice, blending purple chem with old-school og gas.
🍬 sweet retreat: fiya & doja selected #5 from a zangria × illmatic hunt. a pheno that instantly stood out for it’s unique dessert terps; which would later go on to parent fun dip, d•lish, sugar factory & crunch berriez.
🚚 week 5: during the initial crunch berriez pheno hunt, fiya says an unexpected property inspection during week 5 of flower left him with a choice - make the decision to throw out the pheno hunt, or throw a hail mary & load everything up into a uhaul in the middle of the night… a uhaul was rented. pheno hunt saved.
🥣 names itself: the winning cut delivered sugary berry cereal & gas terps. “usually i have to sit with a strain for awhile before a name pops into my head, but naming this pheno was easy… the terps did the talking right from the jump. it smelled just like captain crunch cereal” @FiyaFarmer explained.
📦 2023–24: the earliest clear public listing found dates to march 11, 2023. its major 2024 rollout joined @FiyaFarmer , backpack boyz, 5points, doja pak & the finest farms. cereal-box packaging drew attention, & the flower within met the high expectations of this collaboration. an independent review by leafly scored the flower 95/100, one of their highest scores given.
🌱 2025: the clone spreads worldwide. growers all over the world bring those cereal flavored terps to their market. crunch berriez begins winning awards around the globe.
🏆 legacy: crunch berriez turned years of linked keeper hunts into a clone that made all the work worthwhile. this strain carries @FiyaFarmer’s selection work from small rooms into major collaborations & worldwide gardens; all of which unfolded step by step in front of the public eye.

ROAD RUNNING: when bikers rode, the weed followed 🪽
🏍️ outlaw roots: the hells angels rose from california biker culture, with oakland becoming the symbolic power center under sonny barger. by the 1960s & 70s, road clubs overlapped with music, counterculture, weed, speed & outlaw cash.
🌿 not first: bikers didn’t invent the weed trade. Hippies, smugglers, farmers & street dealers were already moving it. what clubs added was muscle: protection, fear, territory, collections & wholesale control.
🧩 the patch as power: a full-patch club could make the rules in a region. who could sell, who owed tribute, who got protected & who got pushed out. support clubs, puppet crews & hangarounds carried risk while senior members stayed insulated.
🇨🇦 canada: in 1977, quebec’s popeyes mc patched over to the hells angels, giving the club a canadian beachhead. from there, biker influence spread through quebec, b.c., ontario, atlantic canada & the prairies.
⚔️ quebec biker war: the 1990s war between the hells angels & rock machine was not just biker pride. it was a drug territory war over bars, street networks & regional distribution. maurice “mom” boucher became the face of that violent era.
🌲 b.c. bud economy: british columbia’s indoor & rural grow scene helped create the b.c. bud reputation. bikers did not control every grow, but they helped turn canadian cannabis into a cross-border wholesale commodity.
🔁 weed south, coke north: one major pattern was barter. canadian cannabis moved into u.s. markets, while cocaine, cash & connections moved back north. cases tied hells angels-linked networks to b.c. bud, montreal warehouses, u.s. buyers & cartel cocaine supply.
🛣️ hidden corridors: the story touched b.c. to the pacific northwest, quebec to the northeast, montreal warehouses, native border routes near akwesasne, ports, truckers, mafia links, asian grow networks & independent smugglers.
🪦 legacy: bikers changed weed by making it harder, more territorial & more organized. even strain lore felt the shadow, with cuts like hells angels og tied to orange county H.A.-linked grow circles, though not proven as an official club breeding project.

GUZ: the $50k pheno they laughed at 🐕🌿
🧬 breeder’s base: jamie launched @surefireselect in 2017. boston roots sent sherbanger f1 seeds. jamie selected a male, crossed it to lemon up & kept 2 females: #2 became blueberry lemonade; #1 became GUZ’s seed parent.
🔗 the tastemaker: before the ZOO or GUZ, a mutual friend brought Ran (@elusive_la) to (@b_eazyllc hollywood office. bobby passed on his flowr, but Gabe (@packs2future) kept the connection alive. Ran’s aquanaut batches later changed bobby’s mind, forming the partnership GUZ needed.
🧪 mystery pollen: in late 2023, @surefireselect traded a lemon up cut (@kushington415) for a giraffe puzzy cut (@doja.pak1 & @jbeezysjg) & supposed giraffe puzzy pollen, no strings attached. he crossed it into lemon up × sherbanger #1. @jbeezysjg later admitted it was something else. GUZ’s paternal line remains disputed.
🌱 almost lost: @surefireselect made about 14 hybrids & dedicated his 12-light room to the hunt. he hunted #19, later named GUZ. he broke its backup branch to a tiny node & struggled to root it. #19 nearly vanished before evaluation.
👃 the outlier: @b_eazyllc publicly asked breeders for genetics & took up to 4 meetings a day. inspired by Blue Zushi & RS11, he wanted a market-changing exclusive genetic. @packs2future brought about 10 phenos. 19 held lemon as a back note but smelled unlike anything else. bobby took 7 grams home, shared none & missed it when he returned to zebraz.
💰 2nd chance: @surefireselect asked $60k, partly hoping @B_Eazyllc would pass. @packs2future tried roughly 25k–30k, but Bobby walked. weeks later, he blindly selected 19 again. fearing another brand would take it, he paid $50k & got roasted online. @elusive_la also chose 19 by smell.
🐕 animal TBA to GUZ: 19 first dropped as animal tba 19. bobby planned to call it lionz, “king of the jungle,” but renamed it after his dog while smoking it. @elusive_la grew the official flower: bred by @surefireselect & branded by @b_eazyllc. @packs2future connected it.
🏆 legacy: GUZ is 1 of the streets’ most exclusive & in-demand strains. in 2026, it won CA @Zalympix people’s choice best terps/best smell & industry most unique. fire your plug if they don’t have it.
ALWAYS. SOLD. OUT.

TOAD VENOM: from battleground pond. to cathedral city crown 🐸
🧬 roots trace to @SinCitySeeds, home of Sin Mint Cookie Zkittlez, not Sin Mint Cookies, which later fathered Toad Venom. the spark hit in Battleground, WA, where standout phenos made it undeniable.
✈️ after seeing those phenos, Jake, then @WCCcanna, today @ronin_seeds, flew home w/ 4 grams during covid, opened the overhead bin & the smell was so loud an attendant threatened to ground the plane. he knew it was special.
🌱 the work moved through Jake in a collab hunt w/ @805hasfire. 805 worked the males, while Jake’s team, Ronin Seeds w/ Cannapy Builders, provided the females. Ronin Seeds doesn’t sell seeds. it was built to supply elite genetics to select cultivation partners.
🪴 during a move, the male plants snapped in half. 1 rebounded w/ unusual vigor & became the Sinmint F1 male, the pollinator that pushed the project forward.
🧪 by late 2020, the seeds were created. at that stage, it didn’t really have a name. it was simply known as Animal Face × selected Sinmint male.
🐉 in 2021, seeds were shared w/ trusted hunters. Derrick hunted the line at @GreenDragonLA’s Cathedral City facility, selected a keeper, returned it to Ronin, then Jake took the cut to a project in OK.
🐸 “what’s a sinful animal?” that question led Jake’s circle to Toad Venom. before the later Becky name through Green Dragon, the cut first appeared in OK, but after the partnership broke down, Jake brought it to LA.
📈 OK proved the cut. CA made it nuclear. @thehashtribe shaped rollout & branding, @lakushklinic moved the wave, @BigSmokebags pushed bags through legacy distribution, & the green emoji bag became legend.
🍬 Toad Venom’s range comes from the selected Sin Mint Cookie Zkittlez male, not just Sin Mint, showing candy notes, purple expressions & various looks.
🤝 the rise was a chain effort. @SinCitySeeds supplied the lane. @ronin_seeds & @WCCcanna drove breeding. Derrick & @GreenDragonLA selected the pheno. Cannapy Builders, @805hasfire, @thehashtribe, @lakushklinic, @TheFirmcannabis & more carried it forward.
🌊🐸 now growers want to run Toad Venom, breeders want to cross it & everyone is renaming their version. that’s when a strain stops being hype & starts becoming an era.

Luka Doncic has been talking trash to Yaxel Lendeborg all night.
The rookie already has a tech.
Luka just drained a half court and pointed right at him, talking even more trash to his face.
Welcome to the NBA.

The Nug Run Era: 2012–2018 🍯
🌱 fire in, fire out: in the early 2010s, “nug run” became a selling point for BHO made from buds. premium extractors committed desirable flower to oil. the label described the input: flower first.
🏆 Hardcore OG: in 2012, Superior Extracts for West Coast Cures won San Francisco’s Cannabis Cup concentrate category with Hardcore OG Budder. by 2014, its shatter was known across Southern California.
💰 the premium: in 2013, Denver’s Lush sold Jedi Kush nug-run shatter for $50/g beside $30/g trim run. the starting flower carried a price.
🎪 Vader’s rise: remembered as the “open-blast kings,” @VaderCannabisCo built its name through shatter, collaborations, concert-like booths & a commanding cup presence. in 2014, Candy Jack Shatter placed at Michigan’s Cup & Blue Dream × Tangie with Grateful Meds won in Seattle.
🤝 flower & fame: in 2014, Beezle & Elemental Seeds collaborated on a Blue Dream nug run using top-shelf flower. The Clinic’s 303 OG Nug Run Sugar Budder won Best US Concentrate in Denver. Secret Cup & Chalice helped turn extractors into names people followed.
✉️ slab culture: black envelopes, parchment & pizza boxes full of slabs defined the memories. Moxie, Viola, GreenLine, Heavenly Extraction, Gold Coast Extracts, Exclusive Melts / Exclusive Extracts, HGH Extracts & Loudpack were among the names recalled alongside Vader.
🧪 the extractor roll call: the wider BHO scene included Oil Refinery Co, Panacea, Rumpelstiltskin / Rumpwax, BAMF, TerpX, Critical Concentrates, Greenest Green (now 710 Labs), OCD Labs, Fresh Off The Bud, Dankman, GoldDrop, Wookflame, Tyzenberg, Craft 710, Terp Preservation Society & Nature’s Lab Extracts.
📼 more names remembered: Kush Co, Mr B’s Extracts, Dabble, HiRez Industries, Talking Trees, Surprize Surprize, Hadto Goons, Wally OG, Golden State Banana, Urban Pharm, Stuck Up Extracts, Prime Extracts, Waxy Willy’s / Nuthin But Nectar & Greenthumb Danny. fans also remembered the Tangie associated with Waxy Willy’s & Greenthumb Danny.
❄️ changing tastes: as nug run put the starting flower in focus, live resin made freshness part of the appeal. by 2015, “live resin nug run” appeared in coverage, showing the overlap: buds were the input, fresh-frozen was the approach.
💸 luxury oil: a 2017 San Bernardino review listed concentrates up to $60 per half gram, equivalent to $120/g, without tying that price to Hardcore OG / BHOM shatter. Billionaires Club Hardcore OG Cake Badder reached $1,000 for an 11.5g container.
🍯 the legacy: the nug-run era helped make the starting flower, extractor & individual batch worth following. rosin later gained premium status, but the question behind an expensive dab was already established: what went into it, & who made it?

the american hash story 🇺🇸
📜 early american hash: 1854, Bayard Taylor publishes “The Vision of Hasheesh,” an early firsthand American account of hashish. John Greenleaf Whittier’s “The Haschish” follows that year. In 1857, Fitz Hugh Ludlow takes hash literature mainstream W/ The Hasheesh Eater.
🌍 imports & the brotherhood: 1960s travelers bring back red lebanese, afghani black & nepalese temple balls. the brotherhood of eternal love scales imports from afghanistan & nepal to fund its psychedelic mission.
📰 hash enters the spotlight: 1973 senate hearings expose the brotherhood & major smuggling routes. in 1974, high times launches, documenting hash culture, techniques & travel.
🌿 production moves home: by the late 70s & 80s, stronger domestic sinsemilla & tighter borders push hash production home. kenneth morrow begins silk screening trim into kief & hand pressing hash in 1984.
💧 the water hash breakthrough: in 1980s CA, skunkman sam experiments with cold water trichome separation. his 1987 mailer describes stirring cannabis in ice water, letting resin glands sink & filtering away plant matter. kenneth morrow begins making water hash from fresh frozen material by early 1994. in 1997, his water hash tests at 68.6% THC.
🌀 mechanical separation evolves: morrow later shows mila jansen his water hash methods before commercial bag systems spread. mila’s pollinator & ice o lator help formalize mechanical separation, while robert c. clarke’s hashish! connects traditional techniques with trichome science, mesh sizes & micron language.
🔥 the rosin era: in 2006, chadwick basstardo posts about heating hash until oil separates, calling it “cannabis rosin.” nikka t coins “solventless” in 2010. by 2015, soilgrown presses hash with a hair straightener, dabs the sap & helps ignite the modern rosin explosion.
⭐ full melt & refinement: during the 2000s & early 2010s, Matt Rize, Nikka T & Cuban Grower pushed solventless toward cleaner separation, tighter micron selection & dabbable full melt. Oakland’s Bizarre Brothers popularized the 1 to 6 star grading system, while Cuban Grower’s “Cuban Tech” pushed dry sift toward near-pure resin heads. Jenn Doe linked nucleation & THCA crystallization in 6* melt to modern cold cure.
🏛️ 150+ years of evolution: live rosin, full melt & hash rosin sit on more than 150 years of american hash history. from imported bricks to ice water, micron separation & heat and pressure rosin, each generation built on the last.
