Greenhouse Staff Spotlight - Mike

Everyone, meet Mike. Mike's a father, a former college football player, and a senior budtender here at the Greenhouse. He’s managed to earn himself the nickname “Roadhouse” for reasons better explained in person

Mike, what's your favorite way to consume cannabis?

Smoking flower is still my preferred method of cannabis consumption. Both the experience and effects of flower are second to none, in my opinion.

What's your favorite strain?

Although I enjoy all types of cannabis for their differing attributes, sativa leaning hybrids tend to be my favorite due to their ability to help with pain alleviation and stress relief while also helping one stay uplifted and motivated.

What's your favorite non-flower product?

My favorite non-flower products are the Wana gummies. They’re made with pectin as opposed the gelatin which gives them a great, chewy mouth-feel. They also deliver in spades when it comes to taste and effects.

What's a cannabis question you wished more people asked?

The cannabis question I wish more customers asked would have to be about the terpenes and peripheral cannabinoids and the role they play in regard to the effects of cannabis. A good portion of consumers seem hyper-focused on THC content, when in reality, some of the most impressive cannabis I’ve consumed has come from more moderately testing plants. There are several different compounds contributing toward the “entourage effect”, which gives each strain of cannabis their distinct qualities.

What do you enjoy when you’re not budtending?

When I’m not Bud Tending, I’m spending time with my wife and kids, golfing or watching sports. We like to go on adventures together, kayak, and generally smile as much as we possibly can.

If you could share a joint with any celebrity or person from history…who and what’s on the menu?

Some Lilac Diesel and a round of golf with Bill Murray seems like a pretty kick-ass way to spend a day
