BREAKING: Scientists develop technology that allows people to digitally transmit smells across the world, potentially bringing scent to phone calls, video chats, & social media.
Luka Doncic has been talking trash to Yaxel Lendeborg all night.
The rookie already has a tech.
Luka just drained a half court and pointed right at him, talking even more trash to his face.
Welcome to the NBA.
The Nug Run Era: 2012–2018 🍯
🌱 fire in, fire out: in the early 2010s, “nug run” became a selling point for BHO made from buds. premium extractors committed desirable flower to oil. the label described the input: flower first.
🏆 Hardcore OG: in 2012, Superior Extracts for West Coast Cures won San Francisco’s Cannabis Cup concentrate category with Hardcore OG Budder. by 2014, its shatter was known across Southern California.
💰 the premium: in 2013, Denver’s Lush sold Jedi Kush nug-run shatter for $50/g beside $30/g trim run. the starting flower carried a price.
🎪 Vader’s rise: remembered as the “open-blast kings,” @VaderCannabisCo built its name through shatter, collaborations, concert-like booths & a commanding cup presence. in 2014, Candy Jack Shatter placed at Michigan’s Cup & Blue Dream × Tangie with Grateful Meds won in Seattle.
🤝 flower & fame: in 2014, Beezle & Elemental Seeds collaborated on a Blue Dream nug run using top-shelf flower. The Clinic’s 303 OG Nug Run Sugar Budder won Best US Concentrate in Denver. Secret Cup & Chalice helped turn extractors into names people followed.
✉️ slab culture: black envelopes, parchment & pizza boxes full of slabs defined the memories. Moxie, Viola, GreenLine, Heavenly Extraction, Gold Coast Extracts, Exclusive Melts / Exclusive Extracts, HGH Extracts & Loudpack were among the names recalled alongside Vader.
🧪 the extractor roll call: the wider BHO scene included Oil Refinery Co, Panacea, Rumpelstiltskin / Rumpwax, BAMF, TerpX, Critical Concentrates, Greenest Green (now 710 Labs), OCD Labs, Fresh Off The Bud, Dankman, GoldDrop, Wookflame, Tyzenberg, Craft 710, Terp Preservation Society & Nature’s Lab Extracts.
📼 more names remembered: Kush Co, Mr B’s Extracts, Dabble, HiRez Industries, Talking Trees, Surprize Surprize, Hadto Goons, Wally OG, Golden State Banana, Urban Pharm, Stuck Up Extracts, Prime Extracts, Waxy Willy’s / Nuthin But Nectar & Greenthumb Danny. fans also remembered the Tangie associated with Waxy Willy’s & Greenthumb Danny.
❄️ changing tastes: as nug run put the starting flower in focus, live resin made freshness part of the appeal. by 2015, “live resin nug run” appeared in coverage, showing the overlap: buds were the input, fresh-frozen was the approach.
💸 luxury oil: a 2017 San Bernardino review listed concentrates up to $60 per half gram, equivalent to $120/g, without tying that price to Hardcore OG / BHOM shatter. Billionaires Club Hardcore OG Cake Badder reached $1,000 for an 11.5g container.
🍯 the legacy: the nug-run era helped make the starting flower, extractor & individual batch worth following. rosin later gained premium status, but the question behind an expensive dab was already established: what went into it, & who made it?

For everyone unaware:
THCA payment processors are currently cancelling their services to your favorite brands.
You’ll see more and more THCa vendors unable to accept payments until there’s only black market left.
Thank you government 😒

the american hash story 🇺🇸
📜 early american hash: 1854, Bayard Taylor publishes “The Vision of Hasheesh,” an early firsthand American account of hashish. John Greenleaf Whittier’s “The Haschish” follows that year. In 1857, Fitz Hugh Ludlow takes hash literature mainstream W/ The Hasheesh Eater.
🌍 imports & the brotherhood: 1960s travelers bring back red lebanese, afghani black & nepalese temple balls. the brotherhood of eternal love scales imports from afghanistan & nepal to fund its psychedelic mission.
📰 hash enters the spotlight: 1973 senate hearings expose the brotherhood & major smuggling routes. in 1974, high times launches, documenting hash culture, techniques & travel.
🌿 production moves home: by the late 70s & 80s, stronger domestic sinsemilla & tighter borders push hash production home. kenneth morrow begins silk screening trim into kief & hand pressing hash in 1984.
💧 the water hash breakthrough: in 1980s CA, skunkman sam experiments with cold water trichome separation. his 1987 mailer describes stirring cannabis in ice water, letting resin glands sink & filtering away plant matter. kenneth morrow begins making water hash from fresh frozen material by early 1994. in 1997, his water hash tests at 68.6% THC.
🌀 mechanical separation evolves: morrow later shows mila jansen his water hash methods before commercial bag systems spread. mila’s pollinator & ice o lator help formalize mechanical separation, while robert c. clarke’s hashish! connects traditional techniques with trichome science, mesh sizes & micron language.
🔥 the rosin era: in 2006, chadwick basstardo posts about heating hash until oil separates, calling it “cannabis rosin.” nikka t coins “solventless” in 2010. by 2015, soilgrown presses hash with a hair straightener, dabs the sap & helps ignite the modern rosin explosion.
⭐ full melt & refinement: during the 2000s & early 2010s, Matt Rize, Nikka T & Cuban Grower pushed solventless toward cleaner separation, tighter micron selection & dabbable full melt. Oakland’s Bizarre Brothers popularized the 1 to 6 star grading system, while Cuban Grower’s “Cuban Tech” pushed dry sift toward near-pure resin heads. Jenn Doe linked nucleation & THCA crystallization in 6* melt to modern cold cure.
🏛️ 150+ years of evolution: live rosin, full melt & hash rosin sit on more than 150 years of american hash history. from imported bricks to ice water, micron separation & heat and pressure rosin, each generation built on the last.
