“What a trip. Spent the last week traveling through the mountains, visiting farms, hunting hash, eating some incredible food, and getting to experience a culture I’ve wanted to see firsthand for a long time.
So much respect for the people keeping these traditions alive. Morocco, I’ll definitely be back!”

the rise of blue zushi 🔵🍣
🌱 roots: staks moved to the us in 2017 & linked with gerry in 2019. the former worldstar creative director helped reshape zushi’s branding. early tins listed zkittlez × kush mints #18 & were circulating by august 2019. its lineage remains disputed, with z3, z-cube & other z-related origins unconfirmed.
🏆 2021: a cookies melrose drop & redesigned characters pushed zushi wider. blue won best overall & best tasting at the summer california @zalympix.
🎯 2022: @thetenco_ opened its perris store in january. blue won best tasting & best terps at the california zalympix championship, placing 2nd overall. staks cited supreme as a model for keeping drops limited.
🌸 2023: after a 2022 art basel preview, coil leray’s pink zushi launched at cookies melrose in january. in june, blue won best overall & best tasting again, giving it tasting wins in 2021, 2022 & 2023, not 3 straight overall titles.
🧊 $1k jars: by june 2023, blue zushi × @WCAoffical rosin reportedly reached $1k for 2g. the first run was reportedly 76 jars. staks said the market set the price. nozu turned selected drops into a restaurant-style experience with glass jars, chopsticks & rolling mats.

🔵🍣 legacy: flavor, competition wins & recognizable branding built demand. distribution led by @gerbs_herbz helped roll out the drops & build zushi’s reach. together, cultivation, creative vision & distribution helped turn a sought-after flower into a name spanning festivals, clothing & art.

knottyy: the story of Knotty
📸 the roots: before hash, knottyy was darien chin, a seattle photographer building an online following in the mid 2000s. he shot landscapes, portraits, cars & commercial work, shared lighting breakdowns & released a photography book around 2010.
🌿 medical era: by the early 2010s, his curiosity had moved into washington’s medical cannabis scene. his exact start in extraction remains unclear, but early community members remember him among the BHO educators sharing knowledge through forums & youtube.
📹 2013: knottyy brought people inside the process. his videos covered extraction equipment, vacuum pumps, purging & the reasoning behind his methods. one vacuum pump comparison passed 250,000 views, reaching aspiring hash makers far beyond washington.
🧪 open knowledge: at a time when extraction techniques were closely guarded, knottyy tested equipment, showed results & explained what he learned. as shatter, wax & honeycomb culture grew, his tutorials gave newcomers somewhere to start.
🤝 the pioneers: alongside educators like bret maverick, knottyy helped shape early online hash education. years later, people were still recommending his videos & remembering them as part of how they learned to make concentrates.
🏭 going legal: as washington’s adult-use market developed, knottyy brought his experience into commercial extraction. by the late 2010s, dispensary menus carried wax, diamonds & sauce under listings like “MFused (Knottyy).”
🔬 what’s next: knottyy is now working with his best friend to open REUP Tacoma, a recreational cannabis shop in washington. part of their vision is bringing back the Knottyy shatter line through select collaborations with producers & processors, reconnecting his early roots with a new generation.
🧠 the legacy: knottyy never needed to invent BHO or claim every first to make an impact. before hash education became an industry, he was already testing, documenting & teaching. a generation watched, learned & carried that knowledge forward. now, with plans to bring back his shatter, the hashologist who helped teach the internet is preparing for another chapter.

Toad Melt from @washed_la ! Greased up and crashed out so incredible! Dabbed the whole jar when we were done shooting this! #RosinEvolution 🐸🫠🏆👑💯🌊 #GetWashed
limited edition test runs are always fun.
you might find your favorite jar, that you'll never see again! Due to low yield rates most decide to ditch a strain and never revisit it again. So sometimes those limited edition jars truly are worth that one of a kind experience! what's your thoughts?
