Budist

Still feeling the glow from Grateful Dead 60? So are we. This Jerry Week collab between Garcia Hand Picked, Alpenglow Farms, and Solful is one of the most thoughtful drops we’ve seen—featuring sungrown flower cultivated just above French’s Camp, where Jerry once played. Budist critic Matthew Shevach rated the Orange Sunshine Pre-Roll 92 Points, calling it “minty orange chai with sour mandarin and lavender—uplifting, smooth, and flavorful to the very end.” Read the full review on the Budist app and website: https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gu2Q2nje

We’re overwhelmed with gratitude. Winning first place in the inaugural GreenState Consumer Choice Awards for Best App / Social Platform is an incredible honor and it’s all thanks to you! Budist was built for the community, and your support and votes mean the world to us. Thank you for believing in what we’re building and being part of the journey!

Last nights The Cannabis Chamber of Commerce LA Mixer—co-hosted by Budist and MJBiz—brought together a diverse mix of founders, operators, retailers, creators, and advocates. The energy was high, the conversations meaningful, and the setting unforgettable. We were proud to host the evening at Sunset Social Club, a new members-only consumption lounge in the heart of Hollywood. Every detail, from the design to the hospitality, delivered on their vision of elevated cannabis culture. It’s a space we know will become a mainstay for the LA community. The Budist team also led a tasting of four cultivars from Khalifa Kush, including their recently launched Point Breeze, now one of the highest-rated strains on our platform. Thank you to everyone who came out. We’ll be announcing the next LA Mixer soon, and we hope to see you there!

We can't wait to see you tomorrow, LA! 💚

So proud to share this video capturing a gathering of our Budist crew as we kicked off the judging process for the California Cannabis Awards. It was played during the Awards Ceremony and reflects the ethos and culture of a community of advocates, entrepreneurs, and connoisseurs working to elevate the industry, which is especially important given the challenges we face here in California. Much love to Embarc and GreenState for capturing the moment and celebrating the passion and spirit of this movement! https://xmrrwallet.com/cmx.plnkd.in/gSpr7mCt
