In an interview with The Bootleg Kev Podcast back in September, Berner, a former bud tender and middleman, now a wealthy rapper and cannapreneur shares how when he was facilitating the sale of 100 pounds of marijuana between the cultivator and a buyer in the hills of Humboldt County he almost got killed because the seller had to finish trimming his pounds to make weight.

Listen all the way to the end to hear how bad that buyer’s day got…

without reading all the way through….why do most people glorify drug users and drug sellers? You were or are dealer. You deal with nefarious people. Get over yourself.

exactly. Who gives a shit. You aren’t selling potatoes. Become a food distributor for the poor. Now that is the work of a hero. Glorifying outlaws and criminals is stupid. I stood and cheered when Bonnie and Clyde were shot to pieces, fuck them. They stole from and killed the poor. Good riddance.

It’s America, land of the rich and famous.

There are those who produce.

There are those who consume.

The money is in facilitating between the two.

This. Greedy amoral people who tout “Community” while actively spearheading the erosion of it’s mental health, for the sake of filthy lucre.

The higher ups were out to get this guy. I met with him while he was here. He had information that the locals didn’t want getting out. They paid the cops to make sue that didn’t happen but they bungled the hit. What a mess. When the feds got involved he mysteriously made his get a way. Lucky because who knows whom all would half been caught up in the net. Listen to his music and you will here some familiar names. QAN

Hope you get well soon 🙏. Keep fighting! I enjoyed the Berner YouTube video where he visited Humboldt farms including Ridgeline. Great interviews. You should check it out Kym .

Crazy story.

The buyer gave the grower hundreds of thousands of dollars without seeing any weed. The seller then left for about an hour. Buyer freaks out. Seller returns and claims he had to trim a few more pounds to make a 100 pack.

Sounds like maybe this guy- the broker- doesn’t know how to set up a proper deal where everybody is made comfortable and communication is clear so that trust is maintained. And…that is how people get shot!!

Yeah right on. I’m wondering why the dumb buyer didn’t kill his ass.
That’s the kind of money that you should expect it.

Then at the end he describes seeing the buyer getting busted by cops on the side of the highway south of here. The interviewer asks what eventually happened to the buyer and Berner says, “I don’t know, I never talked to him again.”
It’s just all a bunch of YouTube click at to bring more attention to his Cookies empire. Federal legalization laws don’t allow vertical integration juat like in the liquor industry. I’m sure Berner, Harborside, Headwaters, ect. will figure out a way around it.

Checkout the YouTube video I posted above. The Humboldt guy growing old school style was a great interview. The video shows the different strategies and growing styles local farmers use to compete in today’s market. The inside look at Ridgelinr was cool. Also the mendo guy with huge plants shows a completely different growing style. Obviously with Rigdelines cup winners 🏆 they are doing it best, but with cannabis there is no perfect way to grow it. Everyone adapts their own style based on geography and economics.

Cute story. He should’ve grown up and lived here his whole life , may have something worth listening to then. We’ve all almost died one way or another living here. Shit I almost died being chased down for no reason by a now respected member of the community who was out of his mind on coke back in the day.

Who’s a bigger informant – Berner or half of the baller growers from Sohum who “got away with it?”

List the legal grower who is successful today from working with the federal government below.
