One Hitters #2 featuring Alex Nolan @ Living Things and Hannah Hayes @ Confident Cannabis
Living Things is Oregon’s original aquaculture cannabis farm, using living fertilizer from fish and beneficial bugs to grow their cannabis. That means no liquid fertilizers or pesticides touch their plants. This family-owned farm has been in the industry for over 13 years.
Confident Cannabis Sales Manager, Hannah Hayes, had the opportunity to chat with Alex Noland, founder of Living Things on the latest episode of “High on Our Own Supply” by Confident Cannabis, to share the story of how his unique cannabis business came to be and what the benefits of aquaculture are.
One Hitters #1 with Paul @ Chemistry | High On Our Own Supply by Confident Cannabis
Paul Roethle, founder/CEO of Chemistry, chats with Steve Albarran, co-founder/CEO of Confident Cannabis, about the importance of terpenes and minor cannabinoids, and what it takes to be a premium concentrate manufacturer in California's competitive market.
Chemistry's Emerald Cup award-winning oils come from single cultivar, full-spectrum cannabis, made using small batches of whole flower lovingly grown under the sun by some of Northern California's best (and brightest) craft cultivators. Their premium cannabis oils capture the nuance of each strain they source, from flavor to effect.
Chemistry's eclectic team of insanely talented humans are united by a passion for the plant, a deep respect for the scientific method, and a dedication to the subtle qualities of excellence.
Chemistry stays true to the plant we know and love.

This is our Covid-19 Special on how cannabis retail businesses are handling shifts in the supply chain to address the crisis. Unlike other episodes, we interviewed three different retail companies in California: from a dispensary in Santa Rosa doing curbside pickup, to a members-only delivery service headquartered in the Bay Area, to a boutique retail and delivery chain in Los Angeles.
We dig deep into how the supply chain is responding to the Coronavirus crisis. We don’t focus on all the things everyone already knows, like that sales are up or that edibles are all the rage. We discussed what is happening in between those things, including covering a product category trend that I did not see coming.
