We want to try something new so you can get to know our amazing staff a little bit better. Everybody meet Jackson. Jackson is a Senior Budtender at The Greenhouse with a voice for radio and a love for cannabis.

Jackson, What’s your favorite way to consume cannabis?

While each of the many means of cannabis consumption have their unique benefits, I prefer dabbing concentrates for the immediacy of effect, the control I have over the temperature at which I dab, and, of course, the potency!

What’s your favorite strain?

My favorite cannabis strain is Northern Lights. True to its name, it makes me feel like I’m the aurora borealis itself; calm, but resplendent.

What’s your favorite edible?

When shopping for edibles that will reliably get me to the state where I want to be, I go Kushy Punch. I can experiment with higher doses of their sativa gummies better than many other brands due to the Full Spectrum oil they use, it really helps curtail any potential collateral stress, anxiety, or paranoia.

Whats your favorite part of your job?

The best part about budtending for me is the chance to educate the general public on this often misunderstood plant and industry (and have fun doing it!) I feel I’m serving our community best by being on the front lines answering questions both common and complicated and clearing up misconceptions and concerns about this complex and wonderful medicine.

What’s a cannabis question you wish more customers asked?

The number one thing I wish more customers would ask would be what to look for in cannabis products besides THC. While THC is certainly a critical component to consider when looking for an ideal cannabis product, many other factors such as terpene content for flower and concentrate products should be investigated just as thoroughly.

What do you do when you're not budtending?

When I’m not budtending, I’m of course conducting extensive “market research” on cannabis products to stay up to date on my knowledge and recommendations, but that research is often complimenting evenings of tabletop roleplaying games with friends or doing deep dives on all genres of the year’s new music releases.

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

If I could smoke with one person from history, it’d be my favorite author, Charles Dickens; after a few bowls of Russian Snow out of my personal twelve-percolator water pipe on a snowy London’s eve, we’d have deep, imaginative discussions that’d possibly inspire a few more ghosts in A Christmas Carol and, who knows, maybe even A Tale of THREE Cities!
