Budtender Insights: Perspectives on Concentrates with Demetre Janness and Jeff Hickok25 Jun 202500:54:15

🎙️ Budtender Insights: Perspectives on Concentrates

Live from our first Budtender Insights event (March 29, 2025)

Let’s be real—concentrates can be intimidating. With terms like “live rosin,” “diamonds and sauce,” “CRC,” and “six-star hash” flying around, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why we brought together a room full of budtenders, extractors, and cannabis pros to actually talk about it.

In this special live episode, hosts Ashleen and Rileigh (aka the Chronic Gals) are joined by:

🔥 Demetre Janness, lead extractor at Sessions Extracts

🌱 Jeff Hickock, team lead at High End Market Place (and longtime grower + medical consultant)

Together, we break down:

  • Solvent vs solventless extraction (and why “solventless” is a little misleading 👀)
  • How different textures—like shatter, batter, and rosin—are actually made
  • What customers need to know about color, consistency, and harvest dates
  • Why THC % doesn’t tell the whole story
  • And why cold-starting your honey is the best way to actually taste your dabs 🔥

Whether you’re new to extracts or already speaking in six-star slang, this episode is packed with insights to boost your budtending game.

💚 Special thanks to our sponsors:

Daydreamer, Tokeativity, The Exchange, Cannabis Alliance, Royal Rose, Nug Nips, and Asterion Temple — y’all helped make this first Budtender Insights event possible.

Become a member at Daydreamer here: https://www.patreon.com/DaydreamerPDX

🎧 Listen in to learn:

  • How to talk to customers about extracts with confidence
  • What makes BHO different from rosin (beyond the hype)
  • Why “ice white” might not be a good sign
  • Tips for getting the last dab out of the jar (hello, straw trick)

TPH Ep 10 The Cultivation to Quality Control of Cannabis Flower with Chase Tyler and Tim McCormick04 Sep 202401:53:44

Hey Pot Heads!

Welcome to the next episode in our product types series!

In this episode of Talking Pot Heads, we're rolling up some seriously insightful conversation about cannabis flower! Rileigh and Ashleen are joined by budtender Chase Tyler and Founder and CEO of Cultured Biologix Tim McCormick to break down everything you need to know about what makes a flower truly exceptional. 🌱

First up, we chat about how cannabis strains have evolved over the years and the never-ending debate of sun-grown vs. indoor flowers. Our guests take us through the cannabis growth cycle, from seed to harvest, and spill the beans on the crucial flowering phase. 🌼

But it doesn’t stop there—we get into the nitty-gritty of drying and curing techniques. Ever wondered how to achieve the perfect balance of moisture and flavor? Or how to avoid those pesky curing pitfalls? Chase and Tim have you covered! They even share some cutting-edge methods like flash frozen curing, which could be a game-changer in the industry. ❄️

And let’s not forget the all-important quality checks! Whether it’s size, smell, color, or frostiness, our experts tell you what to look for in top-tier cannabis. Plus, they debunk the myth that higher THC always means better weed—hint: it's all about the experience, folks! 🙌

This episode is packed with tips, tricks, and insider knowledge that both consumers and industry pros will find super valuable. So whether you’re a budtender looking to up your game or just a curious cannabis enthusiast, this one’s for you!

Welcome back to the latest episode of the Chronic Gals Podcast! We’re so glad you’re here!

Are you feeling this intense transformational energy like we are? We’re blaming the eclipses! Feels like we’re walls being sledgehammered and vacuumed out all at once, leaving a clean frame upon which to build the new.

What? The Chronic Gals? Transformation and deep insights of innerstanding?? tHaT’s A nEw OnE 😂🌀😂🌀😂

And so we smoke w33d and process our feelings.

First, we dive into the Green Thumb Industries strikes out in Illinois. Sending love to all the budtenders at Rise Dispensary so you get the contracts you all deserve! We believe they recently ended the strike, so we’ll see how the story plays out.

Check out these TikToks to see what was going on:

We also talk about Rileigh's recent road trip around the Olympic Peninsula in Washington and all the revelations she had. Plus, we explore the concept of DESPERATION and how it’s been a subconscious energy in our lives. Ash cleared a lot of hers in a Body Code session with Chronic Pal and past guest Lauren Nielsen, and Righ cleared a lot of her own listening to Ash talk about her Body Code clearing, lol. (Sign up for Body Code energy healing with Lauren here.)

Welcome back to another episode of Chronic Gals Podcast!

Does anyone else feel like they’re getting an astrological beating these last couple of weeks? Between that and our busy personal lives, things have been fast-paced and non-stop! So this episode we chillax in bed and scroll TikTok, while getting high and thinking about the multiverse. The best kind of day!

How are words formed? Are all mirrors haunted? Did Danny Zuko have a psychotic break? What do Chinese faeries look like? All these and more explored right now on Chronic Gals Podcast!

Strains:

Sour Sundae by Zoz Cannabis

Pineapple Upside Down Cake by Rochester Farms

Ep. 84 - Releasing trauma with the Body Code20 Jul 202201:40:02

Welcome back to another episode of Chronic Gals Podcast! This week, we catch up with the Gals after Righ visits Bellingham Bud Fest and gets inspired to throw a cannabis festival in SW Washington, Ash comes up for air after deep diving into Mary Magdalene backstory, and bring it back full circle to the trauma convo with our pal and energy worker Lauren Nielsen!

Lauren practices the Body Code, a healing modality that releases the trapped emotions, blocks,  and negative energies stuck in your energy field after experiencing trauma. Ash has experienced a couple sessions, and will advocate for how much energy moves after working in the Body Code! Find out more about what it is and how it works inside!

Ep. 80 - Disclosure-ish in Marvel movies25 May 202202:12:30

Welcome back for another episode of Chronic Gals Podcast! This week, Producer Ev is back on the mic to talk with us about the Marvel movies (Iron Man, Avengers,  etc.) and the messages encoded within them. Ashleen thinks some level of disclosure and propaganda are happening through the concepts introduced in the movies, although often missing key pieces or twisted in some way. Is she right? Or are the Avengers just fun science fiction? You know we dive in deep - grab a blunt and ponder the Marvel Comic Universe with us!
