Green Gold Returns – Strains, Struggles & Survival in California Cannabis
JP sits back down with Green Gold for his round 2 appearance on the Good PizzZa Podcast. In our first convo, he broke down his journey and the grind of building a name in the California market. This time, we dig into the current state of the game — the challenges, the gratitude of still standing, and the mindset it takes to survive in an industry that tests you daily.
And don’t get it twisted — small batch isn’t dead. Green Gold is living proof that craft still cuts through, and he’s backing it up with new heat like Agua de Piña and Cold World, while also keeping the classics alive with the old-school DJ Short Blueberry.
