I am The Dank Duchess.  I am a Hashish maker, writer, and an organic cannabis cultivator. It is my distinct pleasure to welcome you to my writing archive.  After being quiet about cannabis for a significant portion of my life, I have much to say, and positively contribute to the cannabis conversation.  Many of us still dealing with the growing pains of transitioning from a grey market of cannabis to an outright legal one, and we can learn from each other along the way.

Curated Content about Cannabis and Hashish

As with all trends, there are pioneers, and those who jump on the bandwagon, simply regurgitating old tropes and, in this day and age, memes.  On this site you will be treated to my published articles from Weed World UK and Cannabis Now magazines, my weekly blogs about hash making, growing organic outdoor cannabis, health and wellness, and enjoying the dynamic cannabis scene all over the world. I will share my journey in ways you have not often imagined.  You will be treated to new ideas and methods in the making of Hashish, growing of plants, and of living life well.

Hashish has been a later addition to my life, but I have embraced it thoroughly.  Under Master Hashish maker Frenchy Cannoli‘s direct tutelage, I have learned how to apply modern twists on traditional techniques of hash making.  The Hashish I create is create is golden brown to deep chocolate; reminiscent of Hashish of the mountains of ‘the old country.’ Any yet, not only does the Hashish that I create bubble, but it fully melts to oil.  It is with advanced and hands-on experience that I partake in the solventless concentrates created by others and relate a tale of my experience on their divine concentrates.  It’s a plush and heavenly opportunity, really…I appreciate every moment of it.

I invite you to watch my 4th outdoor cannabis grow in Oakland, California.  I am growing a number of plants from gifted seeds from all over the world.  A few standouts include  a few Panama Red crosses from Norstar Genetics, strong and vigorous Yellowstone and Darkside from The Kush Brothers Seeds, and resilient and touch plants from Aficionado Seeds.  I also have a really special, beautifully branched, symmetrical and absolutely gorgeous Super Lekker from Marimberos.  I look forward to sharing what I learn, discover, mess up, and ultimately create!
