This week, JP sits down with Glen from Green Dragon, a true pioneer whose journey runs deep through both the music industry and cannabis culture. Before building a cannabis powerhouse, Glen was producing records like “Love of My Life” by Erykah Badu and “Dance Tonight” by Lucy Pearl — eventually finding himself tapped in with names like Dr. Dre and Raphael Saadiq during his time in LA. From there, the transition into cannabis came naturally — and over the past 20+ years, Green Dragon has gr...

Ricky from Finest Farms pulls up to the Good PizzZa Podcast to break down his journey from growing up in Los Angeles with nothing… to becoming one of the respected growers in California cannabis. What started with one plant as a young kid quickly turned into garage grows, warehouses, raids, cops, and everything that came with the old-school grow game. Now Finest Farms is known for putting out serious heat and growing for some of the most respected brands in the California rec market. In th...

Episode 179 of the Good PizzZa Podcast, we sit down with real cannabis OGs — Terrance aka Payaso Grow and his brother Phillip. These two come from a different era. Growing up in Los Angeles in the 70s and 80s, they lived through one of the wildest times in the city’s history — gang violence at an all-time high, the crack era hitting the streets, and survival being part of everyday life. Their come-up was no joke. But through all of that, cannabis found its way into their lives — and it be...

In Episode 177 of the Good PizzZa Podcast, we sit down with Hightower & Mrs. Greenthumb — a real cannabis power couple building everything from the ground up. From meeting in college in Georgia to making the move out to Grass Valley, California, their journey has been anything but easy.

They stayed locked in, popped off a few different spots until they landed at their current location where the...

Episode 173 of the Good PizzZa Podcast dives straight into one of the most talked-about strains in the cannabis world right now — Toad Venom, also known as Frog Poison.

Episode 171 we sit down with Ray Bama, one of the key names behind the legendary R___tz movement — along with Yung LB — and a founding force behind The Fire Society. Let’s clear it up properly. R___tz wasn’t just another strain drop. It became the candy of all candy strains. It shifted flavor profiles. It shifted branding. It shifted what people expected from selling exotic flower. Supposedly, the genetics are Gelato 33 × Zkittlez… but truth be told? Nobody really knows for sure...

Episode 170 we tap in with Chris Morsette, Redding, California native and founder of Shasta Flower & Hash Co, plus the man behind the movement Sunday Green. Chris didn’t come into cannabis with a title. He started trimming just to make money through college. That’s it. No plan to be a big grow boss. Just work. From there he stepped into Ember Valley as a trimmer… and climbed the ladder the hard way — learning every single step of the cultivation process until he became Head of Cultivati...

They definitely kept the whole event hydrated and vibing in the Miami heat. We tapped in with Royce an...
