He moved more authentic Sour Diesel than most across the region, staying true to passion over profit. Starting in 1996, inspired by a cousin’s battle with cancer, Big Dave honed his craft in storied cannabis hubs, blending genetics expertise with a focus on wellness. Russell and Dave discuss the Culture of Cannabis in both New Jersey and Texas. Both are looking forward to working with the High Times magazine in the coming months. Blazed@blazednews.com is Russell email.
