How the Ultra Rich Smoke Weed
    #23683599 - 09/27/16 03:43 PM (7 years, 5 months ago)

http://motherboard.vice.com/read/this-is-how-ultra-rich-stoners-get-baked-with-class

Cheryl Shuman likes to make weed purées for dessert, topped off with
Goldschlager Cinnamon Schnapps.

"Imagine a beautiful cannabis infused chocolate soufflé with a raspberry purée on top with the gold sparkles from the Schnapps,” she told me. “It's delicious and oh so glamorous.”

This is Shuman’s world: glitz, glam, and ganj. As the director of the Beverly Hills Cannabis Club, a high-end purveyor of luxury weed and accessories, her love for cannabis overlaps with her activism which overlaps with her pot rebranding campaign. And while we might associate weed with Ziploc baggies and hazy basements, this is more about diamond studded vape pens and Hollywood soirées.

And she’s not alone—Shuman is part of a growing circle of entrepreneurs capitalizing on what she calls the "pot com boom." With US marijuana sales expected to top $10 billion by 2018, there's a lot of money to not only be made in the legal bud industry, but also to be spent. So 14-karat gold vape pens, dank artisan grown bud, golden rolling papers, munchie-free skinny weed, and gourmet edibles are transforming a once underground trade into a luxury business.

"Since Colorado's historic decision to legalize marijuana for recreational use, states are lining up—and so are we as branding experts, designers, and entrepreneurs," said Shuman, who is also the head of Moms for Marijuana, a network of mothers advocating for safe and legal cannabis.

Her cannabis club offers a range of sparkly accessories, from gold and pavé diamond vaporizers to couture handbags with hidden stash compartments. She is also working to soon launch cannabis-friendly resorts, hotels, fine dining, internet cafes, workout yoga centers, and coffee shops with the club's signature products. The team already hosts private Hollywood events, such as a Grammy's afterparty and weed-infused dinner parties, cooked by professional chefs.

The luxury cannabis market is usually not just about getting high. It’s about the taste, texture, quality, feeling, and environment in which the consumer ingests it and in which the bud itself is grown. So it’s not surprising that in our food-obsessed world, the high-end weed industry is taking munchies and edibles to a whole new level.
LA-based cannabis cook Jeff the 420 Chef also caters to this “high” end scene. He travels to individual homes and parties—celebrity parties, yacht parties, cannabis magazine parties—to cook up infused feasts. Kale salad, hazy Thai wings, and 420 Irish Cream (sans alcohol) are some of his favorites.

He keeps the dose at around 10 milligrams per person (assuming you don't stuff yourself), which he says would have about as strong an effect as two glasses of wine.
But for those worried the munchies will mess with their lithe yoga bodies, their luxury weed circle has also introduced skinny weed. Bethenny Frankel's "Skinnygirl Marijuana", for example, has garnered press for being specifically engineered to be munchie-free. Perhaps best known for starring in The Real Housewives of New York City, Frankel already made her Skinnygirl cocktails a household name, so cannabis wasn’t far behind.

Skinny weed is based on some very specific chemistry. The endocannabinoid system, or the body's endogenous network of cannabinoid receptors, regulates, among other functions, appetite and metabolism. Endocannabinoid receptors tell the body when to release ghrelin, also known as the "hunger hormone."

Some of the cannabinoids, or chemical compounds in cannabis, activate the same receptors in the brain and digestive tract as the body's endocannabinoids—hence, why some cannabinoids found in cannabis, specifically THC and CBN, stimulate appetite. Others, however, such as THCV and CBD, do the opposite. Cannabis strains like Skinnygirl can be bred to highlight specific cannabinoids. And strains that already have high levels of THCV or CBD include Durban Poison, Doug's Varin, ACDC, and Harlequin.

The way a strain is bred, whether for its effect on appetite, or for its overall quality, has become a luxury craft, like microbrewed beer or aged whiskey. At the Emerald Exchange Farmers Market this past August, pot farmers from Mendocino, California, trekked down to Malibu to show off their crop, just like a wine tasting. And like wine or champagne, high quality cannabis has come to be labeled to prove its quality and origin.

Before cannabis appellations you generally just had to trust your dealer. But Justin Calvino, an entrepreneur in Mendocino, is hoping to distinguish cannabis quality by where it's grown. Calvino owns Terroir Event Company, which organizes cannabis farmers markets in Mendocino, and the one in Malibu. "We're creating a marquee brand that will showcase our methodology, our strain development, and our climate, [which] make for the finest and highest quality cannabis in the world," he said.

The craft bud is primarily sungrown outdoors or in a greenhouse, and in customized native, composted soil infused with different kinds of tea. "You can taste the earth in our cannabis," Calvino said. "It's the highest quality product money can buy, to an educated palate."
Whereas cannabis quality used to be determined by its potency and THC levels, Calvino said tastes have evolved as marijuana becomes more ubiquitous. "We're in a movement to honor the terpene profile," he said. While the average toker may not recognize these subtle differences, cannabis connoisseurs can understand and feel the importance of terpenes, or the essential plant oils in cannabis that give the bud its aroma and flavor.

Evoxe Laboratories, one of the companies featured at the Emerald Exchange Farmers Market, banks on the desired effects of a bud's variety, combining cannabis oil with terpenes from aromatic essential oils for users to vape. Blending an indica strain with lavender, chamomile, and orange essential oils has a more relaxing effect, while a sativa strain with peppermint, lime, cypress, and cinnamon oils will be more uplifting—like the "Red Bull of cannabis," said Michael Katz, president of Evoxe.

While all the chemicals in cannabis work synergistically during what's called the "entourage effect," adding in essential oils and chemicals from other plants like Evoxe does enhances that effect even more. "Luxury cannabis is knowing your cultivator and knowing the quality of the product you're using and how it's made," said Katz.

Once you've got some luxury dank, there are more luxurious ways to smoke it than ever before. Artisan bongs and art piece pipes can cost anywhere from tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Dab rigs can also be expensive, costing up to $10,000. Not to mention a couple thousand dollars will get you a prime rozin press (not a perfectly good hair straightener) and torches. Nice dabs themselves can also be hundreds of dollars depending on how much you get.

For the rest of us plebes without an extra grand in your wallet, there's always golden rolling papers. The only kind of edible gold is 24 karats, said Dave Brown, CEO of Shine Papers. His products range from $14 to $55 per pack.

"No, it's not oxygen,” Brown said, “but people like to show off. People like to celebrate with their friends. Shine is a very social product. You're probably not sitting alone on your couch smoking Shine, you're probably doing it with your friends or at a concert."
With all the fanfare around how high society gets, well, high, smoking a simple joint seems all of a sudden rudimentary. But even the people selling luxury weed say that at the end of the day, it’s all about how you feel.

"But it's not all about just getting high," said Calvino. "What function does it serve? Is it a relaxant, is it for focus? Are the desired effects met? And how do you enjoy the way you feel when you're smoking?"

:whathesaid:

How about instead of "diamond encrusted vape pens" they spend their excess money buying cannabis for people who actually need it... Pretty sickening.

Yeah housing is a great example of that. There are tons of homeless people and tons of empty houses... Or giant mansions with a few occupants...

I would eat it and it sounds dank but I still think its a bit wrong to be promoting "glamorous cannabis" products when there are broke people who need it as medicine.

Yeah Superfly knows what's up, luxury is awesome.

"Fuck the rich", lolwut? Rich people are the coolest. They say money doesn't buy happiness, but based on my life experiences with meeting people all over the country I can honestly say that i've noticed a direct trend between how rich people are and how happy they are.


Go to the nice part of any big city, then go to the ghetto of any big city. Do the hustlepuppies seem happy to you? They often don't to me.

No, but they seem real and non-pretentious. I'll take that any day of the week over people who wear a false image, which many rich people do IME.

Yes! I would much rather drive a 2016 Porsche 911 GT3 than my piece of shit Camaro :bigjoint:

Everything is a business. I know a couple people who own dispensaries and they don't give two shits about helping people.

Do you guys give money to homeless people every time you see one? I don't think so.. There is people who don't want to work for things and would much rather take a hand out. Now I know there is people who really need medicine, I'm about to give one of my friends some CBD oil because his daughter has epilepsy. The anti seizure meds cost $3000 a month and he bust his ass off to make sure she can survive. But I'm not going to try and help a homeless man get off the streets because he chose to have a heroin addiction and cheated his family for money and stole the TV out of my fiancées hotel room when she felt bad for an old friend and tried to make sure he had a room and a bed to sleep in for a night. - true story. I also had to pay for that BS.

As long as there is a market for anything people are going to sell it. There is always going to be people who want to be better than the next man. Might as well get paid trying to make people happy :shrug: once you make the money donate to charity.

I personally wouldn't mind being rich so I could try and do some good with the money :shrug:

But then again if you are spending all your money you never will really be financially rich...

But true wealth has nothing to do with money though, it all comes down to what you value.

I value fast cars, easy bitches, good food and big houses.

Really though, I would do some good with my money too..but I wouldn't go crazy with the charities if I put in a bunch of work to make myself rich.

If you want to be rich be rich. If you want to be poor be poor. But let me tell you what it's hard to be unhappy smoking green and trippin face in a place like this. Fuck bro most people that I have talked to with an attitude like that don't have money. But you have the right to your opinion. I wish money didn't exist but it does. Maybe one day people will wake up until then....$$$$$$..... I say let em do what they want to do until it falls out from under them. When/if the world goes to hell in a hand basket I will be ready. You as a consumer have the right to buy and consume whatever you want. No person forces you.... The things you choose to add to your life from corporations are what determine stick around for the long run. So change the way you consume/buy products and live life happy. Not all rich people are the monopoly guy wearing a monocle and a top hat. :dancer:

Cannabis has no monetary value when you grow your own cannabis. It's an investment in lights, water filtration systems, electricity, etc.  If people are stupid enough to buy something that is in front of them like a high class cupcake with gold flakes who cares the monkey will always be fooled. If something is available like this it will not inflate the price of cannabis for anyone like you just for people like her. I'm sure your prices will continue to drop like it is all over the world especially as more legalization occurs. I used to bitch about the price of cannabis a ton now I don't. So kick back smoke some herb let the rich stoners do whatever it is they do and watch the story unfold. We are at a real peak in the trip and the next few years will really determine humanities future as a whole. In the outbreak of total anarchy watch the herd be thinned out by themselves. You can stress over the inevitable or just chill out and do the best you can in life to enjoy it. Voice your opinion based on solid theories and fact based evidence. Don't hate on others unless they are truly hurting you, the earth you walk on, or a fellow brother or sister of light. Help others out that are needing it but don't allow others to take advantage of your energy. That's the way I live my life on a daily and I feel it has left me in good karma. Just having money does not make you a shitty person. Some people with money in this illusion support small businesses, artists, and much much more. Your average person in America goes to Walmart and supports what exactly? Big corporations putting a fat dick in your mouth filled with the cum of Saturn. They eat at McDonald's and by TV dinners while watching cable and withering away. Money exists at the moment whether we like it or not. Untell society re writes history the wheel will keep turning. I'm just saying bro the balance has to be maintained both spiritual and material unless your dead. The people in other countries around the world that are suffering right now I feel great empathy and emotion for. Poverty is abound also clean water and food is hard to find... as well as wars and child labor and slavery harvesting fossil fuels and natural resources. The list could go on and on.  I can't stop this all by myself this starts with the world and I. People blaming the rich for a system of social class is bogus as hell. Money is the standard we put forth for material product in this illusion. I did not ask to be born into this world I just was and I'm doing the best I can to create awareness and point out the bullshit. You either want material things to enjoy or don't it's very simple. What you have does not make you the person you are inside. You can be spiritually aware and have money anything is possible right... isn't that a small slice of what the trip tells you. Cannabis is free if you want it to be. Have material possessions just don't let them posses you. Now after that long ass post it's time to go pick some funguyz and smoke some danK.
Peace Love Light and Blessing

I like how you think rhizomorpheus.  I do wish money didn't run America, as much as it does.  I'm pretty upset about the way everything is going worldwide, but we don't all get what we wish for.  You have to have both the positive and negative, to create light here on earth.  Let's hope it doesn't get unbalanced, with more negative energy, than positive. 

I'm all for the premium weed products, but not the diamond encrusted vape pen, or gold papers..  It even sickens me when you goto a normal nice restuarant, that the plate, and how the food is on the plate, is part of the sell.  I'm all for quality, but not multi thousand dollar jeans and shoes (just to b accepted).  The problem with some but not all rich people, is they have too much pride.

The premium weed products I'm excited about, is cannabis grown to new levels.  High thc, high terps, high cbd, etc.  I'm also excited about the high grade extracts being developed.  thumbs down to the diamond encrusted vape pen, and the gold papers.

Chill bro, I never said being rich was bad  :whoak:

Your place looks nice, no doubt Rhizo, but don't hate on the people that don't have access to your opportunities and can't live a "privileged" life without cheap fast food and cheap products, you're sounding like a hypocrite.

I was simply being sarcastic, bummed out about how something which is illegal for so many and should be universally accessible is being treated with such lame vibes. For some you will see a prison cell, for others gold flaked pot brownies......just a weird vibes man  :stonedjerk:


I'd like to see legalization, more medical research, fabrication of goods, societal mentality shifts..........not products to satisfy the "elite" consumers of something illegal in most parts of the world......kinda bullshit :thumb down:

This satisfies only the smallest needs of the smallest group consuming cannabis world wide, lets try to satisfy everyone instead.

I agree with you on the vape pens and papers that is the dumbest thing on the fucking planet. I will just rip my Sheldon Black chubbler bubbler all day and be gravy. All this balance we are talking about is in the hands of people like you and I. Quality is always a great thing if your buying a product but who's pockets the money goes into matters the most. It of course always ends in the banks lol. But before that it might help frank who just started his t shirt company that has psychedelic art from him having a graphic design major. Maybe it helped Lisa a culinary graduate put money back in the diner she just opened. Idk sometimes I don't like the sales pitch on a plate of food at a fine dining restaurant. I guess that's what the person is paying for though right?I really like to practice self efficiency. Grow my own food cook my own food etc because I not only learn but reap the rewards from it. So anything I can do myself I try my hardest before I look to others usually. Pride is not a bad thing it's just not knowing when to stay humble and acting like an arrogant asshole that gets on my nerves in general. I think no man or woman are immune =) Pride brought gay marriage and freed slaves so it's okay we just come back to the whole balance thing. The herbs just keep getting danker and danker.... and the world just gets brighter and brighter bro I love the future. Thanks for being a part of it all <3

Chill bro, I never said being rich was bad  :whoak:

Your place looks nice, no doubt Rhizo, but don't hate on the people that don't have access to your opportunities and can't live a "privileged" life without cheap fast food and cheap products, you're sounding like a hypocrite.

I was simply being sarcastic, bummed out about how something which is illegal for so many and should be universally accessible is being treated with such lame vibes. For some you will see a prison cell, for others gold flaked pot brownies......just a weird vibes man  :stonedjerk:


I'd like to see legalization, more medical research, fabrication of goods, societal mentality shifts..........not products to satisfy the "elite" consumers of something illegal in most parts of the world......kinda bullshit :thumb down:

This satisfies only the smallest needs of the smallest group consuming cannabis world wide, lets try to satisfy everyone instead.




I used to couch surf and eat shitty foods... on food stamps. I have collected unemployment before buddy I know the drill. I'm not hating on people that don't want to try and do whatever it takes to get what they want in life without fucking people over and living in the light. I think you miss interpreted my words on the matter. I am however hating on the people they/we are choosing/ not choosing to support. Big corporation is a big investment and a BIG problem in America... You can say all around the globe. It is also a foundation of our economic consumption. I believe money is stigmatized much like drugs or a lot of other things in life. People like to blame the objects outside of themselves to avoid taking responsibility for their own actions. You feel me my friend? If someone is saying something like... that guys such a rich snob. Why does that person have to use the label rich to emphasize his snobby ass. He's just a dick with money. The same with a heroine addict... that's what we call them... instead of someone who is strung out can't handle life and needs to get their shit together. It wasn't the heroine that made them who they are. They choose to do it and keep doing it to themselves. Sometimes we give other things a ton of credit for things we deserve full credit for. Why is this? So much power lost to external forces gone forever. Why do you get so weirded sout about what these people are doing.... Fuck em. Let them live and be free like you want to. This is but one small article on the Internet circulating complete bullshit. Have you been to a medical expo or US cannabis cup? U said " legalization, more medical research, fabrication of goods, social mentality shifts"... It's happening bro cannabis is not just available to the elite it's available to anyone who wants to grow it... even illegally. The states make the laws now that the Feds stepped out of medical and legalized cannabis. This means that until the people rally cry and put on their war paint like other states did the domino effect will not continue. As for global cannabis we have countries like Malaysia or China to name a couple where I don't see this happening anytime soon. I personally believe in legalization of all drugs so no gray areas exist on the matter. We are chemicals consuming chemicals a chemical world. You talk about such a small group of people able to consume this plant. Think back to the early 19th century where people smoked pot in hidden jazz clubs... we have come a long way. How can a person help satisfy someone if they are not satisfied themselves. You can get drugs anywhere even in places you might be sentenced to death that sucks dick but I'm glad people swallow the fear and take the risk in the name of love. Back on topic will the so called elite change the way pot is consumed globally from a fad or trend? Highly highly unlikely. Not everyone wants to smoke pot though a diamond vape pen just ask my grandpa lol. You should not allow people to fill you with weird vibes.... your giving them your special powers =) it's your life make it love it live it be it.... sorry I'm coming down from eating some freshies so :mushroom2:

Peace Love Light and Blessings
