You are so gorgeous!❤😊
i'm like is Valley Girl lingo lol sad to see grown men using it .if "like" was banned they'd b speechless
Never heard the term beasters???
Corporate hydro weed sucks period no taste none at all.ur less then nothing
Podcast are so frkn boring like why does my TV keep playing this. It's iritating. I do not like podcast they are so flippin boring its ridiculous.
I got some fire 🔥 Cherry pie 🥧 but it’s from my cherry pie I grew outdoors last year and she got pollinated so now I have (Cherry Springer) wish I could send a picture!! Love what you guys do for the community!!!
The no guns and weed Federal rule finally fell this week. I'm not a big gun fan, but I'm not a big fan of being a target either
cannabis meds meds meds meds meds med meds
How about expanding to Virginia. Just curious if you wish to chat .
Beasters were most definitely a thing in PA
Look dude. I'm calling it here first. This is account is straight up fishy af. Your subscribers don't match your views and your views don't match your comments. Also half of these comments are bots. What are you doing my man? I respect the hustle but this is embarrassing. L Botted account.
Good episode but talking over him and repeating exactly what he just said gets annoying…
Great content!
little convo hype man
another cool vid. the convesational interviewing podcast style really works well because the production is so good. we/i thank you for raising the bar. take care
Except who’s gonna pay $120 for a gram of works alien labs way overrated way over priced I live in the Bay Area and I go to my local dispensary who sells connected products in alien labs alien labs $120 a gram for their wax and like 60-80$ an eighth I don’t care Jesus Christ himself through the cannabis no cannabis is worth that much money as you’re definitely one of the most expensive companies to buy anything from there’s much much better companies out there, selling the same quality if not better for a lot cheaper but all in all great interview love your channel
you would be better off if you didn't talk over your guest…just saying…two ears one mouth….
You guys should do contest and winner gets a 1 yr cannabis contract and a 200 light room. That would be crazy cool contest. High times and a lot contest are good but they need to do like a Runtz category, GMO Cookies category, OG, Gelato category. It would make contest a lot more interesting and if you do own contest. You get a piece of the newest strains because you guys would have first dibs becuz your throwing contest and do a lil deal to breeder wins. I think it would blow up your brand. Is connected come to FL as Connected and get a license. Are you guys gonna sign deal with trulieve or muv or flowery , sunnyside. In long run, I think you be better take your time and come with fire for different prices. Like old exotics like gelato and gelato 41 for 45-50 an eighth. Sale your most amazing new stuff for 60-70. Doja pak is great idea. I still want try RS11 here in FL. If you lived in FL for a year and got medical card you would see how much money you guys are missing out on. We have one store curaleaf that sells flower cheap, but some my favorite strains, they sell trash verison. Mids but price says that. I think we need a little bit of everything. Like Sour D, Chem dawg, GDP you sell those at 35-40 eighth. Than older exotics from 2015-2019 for 40-55 and brand new stuff at 55-70 price point. Same with concentrates. We also don't even have real hash. LIke old school brick lebanesse, moraccon hash. Whoever releases that first gonna make $. We have kief and hash pressed for rosin , but not sold by itself. Older crowd loves edibles and that most of FL. Another thing if you come , everytime I'm in denver I love those keef infused drinks. Point being no one has any drinks or rice crispy candy in edibles category. See you soon.
I got whole new respect for connected after hearing how much he was in the game when anybody could go to jail for cannabis. There were literally 1000 differrent OG crosses in 2012-2015. Cherry pie was hott and berner wouldn't give out the cross on GSC for long time. I remember I did thin mint cut , and forum cut, and ogkb bunch different tasting cookie strians. All tasted great. Come to Florida and give us an exotic 2018 strain like gusher or a good biscotti and it hit like it did when you came out with it in Cali. Just because we don't get no good flavors in FL. Berners store in Miami only has 5 strains in at time so far at 60 eigth. We have lot $ but bad weed. If you came proper with some older 2016-2020 strains to FL and you would have lot $. I have medical in FL and I still have to FL to Denver to get a good GMO Cookies. I love garlic. We don't have apple fritter, no white truffle, fatso, melonade, gushers, absolutely nothing. The license is gonna be biggest pain ass of FL but we got 21 older bill in play for Nov. Come on down get in the game. I take any new come with exotic. Exotic is just marketing term but bring good crosses for decent price. Just matter of time before you get here. Put me resume in for cultivation department. I can do propigation, Veg room, flower room, late flower. Who's nutrients line does connected use?
Has a weed podcast doesn't know beaster bud.. haha you youngins
