In Europe, cannabis is much more commonly consumed in hash form, not the flower form which is the most familiar here in the U.S. But that’s all changing, thanks to a little help from our guest today. Frenchy Cannoli is a cannabis resin expert, educator and writer who is bringing artisan-quality hash to the forefront of the American cannabis scene.



Frenchy has been making hash for over 40 years, perfecting a rare style of hash-making he learned as a young man in the Parvati Valley, living in caves amongst the Hashishin of India. Now he is the official Hashishin for Aficionado Seeds, a Mendocino County- based seed company promoting boutique cannabis. He’s also been active with the Emerald Growers Association, working to create a “hash-makers’ guild” — and to do what he can to preserve the outdoor cannabis growing tradition in Northern California.
