In this jam-packed episode of Micannacast, Cannadave and Groovee sit down with Trent, founder of Exquisite Extractions, to talk hash, hustle, and hard lessons from the cannabis grind. 💨
We go deep into Trent’s transformation from working 20 different jobs (no joke!) to leading one of Michigan’s hottest solventless brands. He shares his wildest moments — including a life-threatening explosion 💥 — and how he turned pain into purpose, all while crafting top-tier hash and infused experiences.
We also geek out on terps, talk about Nebula Nugs, rosin-dipped moon rocks, and his mission to create experiences, not just products. Whether you're a cannabis connoisseur, legacy grower, or just a fan of good storytelling — this one’s for you.
