All Hail: An Audience With The Duke of Doja

Get ready for an exclusive look at the man behind the curtain!

We're extremely excited to bring you a wildly decorated guest for this episode of First Smoke of the Day - breeder extraordinaire Duke of Doja. Join us and special guest Doja Pak for a dive into the Willie Wonka cannabis factory of the Duke's mind.

Duke of Doja refers to himself as a humble steward of fine cannabis, but don't let his modesty fool you. He's a modern-day alchemist, a mad scientist dealing in chromosomes and alleles to bring new and exciting strains to life.

Discovering his love for cannabis in Georgia, the Duke first came to California to compete in martial arts tournaments and immediately felt at home. After a smokey road trip across the country, a young Duke first dipped his toe into breeding, crossing strains and growing plants for personal use out of his small apartment in Humboldt.

Over twenty years later, the Duke has established himself as one of the most dedicated and creative breeders in the game. His award-winning strains have kept Doja at the top of the list of most sought-after brands and enthusiasts hungry for his next mind-blowing experiment.

The Duke's passion and curiosity have never waned, and we're here to soak up all the knowledge he has to throw at us and share it with you!

Pack a fatty and pull up a chair as we talk flower, genetics, and martial arts - everything our guest loves. The Duke shares some of his favorite deep-cut strains that you should be smoking, including Peach Tree and the famous Coffin Candy.

We hope you enjoy our talk with the Duke as much as we did. Hit up Doja for a look at his latest concoctions, and subscribe to our channel and our website FSOTD.com to keep up to date with other key players and tastemakers!

Stories From a Past Life: Freeway Ricky

Everyone thinks their life could be a movie. Today's guest would probably be right.

Thank you for joining us for another thrilling episode of First Smoke of the Day! You're in for a treat this week as we sit down with one of our most genuinely interesting guests yet: the mythical Freeway Rick.

In the 80s and 90s, Freeway Rick was THE kingpin in the California drug world, moving hundreds of millions of dollars worth of cocaine during his career. But his story isn't at all like the dramatic portrayals of drug lords in crime movies. Rick was never drawn to violence or power; he was just an ambitious young man trying to pull himself out of poverty through one of the few opportunities life afforded him.

But it all came crashing down when he was finally caught and sentenced to life. While imprisoned, Rick resolved to improve himself and make amends for his part in the cocaine trade, starting with giving himself the education he was denied. He learned to read and write and eventually began studying law to appeal his sentence. His efforts paid off in the end; Rick eventually won his appeal, securing his release after over 20 years behind bars.

Now an author, actor, and advocate for prison reform, Rick shares his unique point of view through books, documentaries, and interviews, warning others away from his troubled path. But his story doesn't end there.

Rick is now making waves in the legal cannabis industry, leveraging his considerable skills to build a brighter future for himself and his community. His dispensary, Freeway Rick's, is a testament to Rick's determination and belief in second chances.

Settle in for a rare and entertaining look into one of the most prominent figures of the 80s drug trade as Rick shares some larger-than-life stories about his rise, fall, and path to redemption, along with some interesting insights into how the current legal industry compares with the black market of his day.

Have you been sleeping on THCa? Today's guests are about to set you straight.

In this episode of First Smoke of the Day, the guys from THC Club are joining us to tear down misconceptions and answer all the questions you have about THCa and hemp flower.

THC Club is a dispensary slinging hemp flower and other hemp products out of Houston, Texas. That's right, Texas. How is this possible, you ask? Simple - their products are focused on THCa content, allowing them to remain on the legal side of the hemp-cannabis dynamic.

The Truth About THCa with THC Club

A lot of questions have been asked about THCa since 2018 when the cultivation of hemp products became federally legal. Hemp flower's delta-9 THC content falls below the limit requiring classification as cannabis, but innovators like THC Club found that THCa could be converted with the right techniques, maintaining legality while offering a high-quality product.

THC Club saw the opportunity to strike at an untapped market and took it. Since then, they have opened an insane eighteen locations throughout Houston, becoming industry leaders in the Texas legal market and trend-setters in the THCa movement.

Tune in to discover how THC Club is pioneering hemp products and how THCa is changing the conversation about cannabis in prohibition states.
