Episode 155: Bugbee & Gold Standard Hustle Music, Robbery and the Viral Clip That Changed Everything
🎙 Episode 155 – Bugbee of Gold Standard Cannabis Co.
This week, JP taps in with Bugbee — Sacramento native, rapper, grower, and owner of Gold Standard Cannabis Co. out of Grass Valley, CA. From the booth to the grow, Bugbee’s been locked into both worlds since high school. He told his parents early that he wanted to rap and grow — and they told him to come home and do it. Years later, he’s done exactly that.
Bugbee’s grind has been anything but easy. He’s dealt with farm robberies, setbacks, and heartbreak, but every loss just made the comeback stronger. Between rebuilding the brand, stacking music releases, and keeping Gold Standard’s craft flower thriving in the Sierra foothills, Bugbee’s story is one of pure hustle and heart.
He even hit the big stage, opening for YG at Sacramento’s Golden 1 Center, proving that the same passion he brings to the mic fuels his success in cultivation. In this episode, we get into his journey from setbacks to viral moments, and how authenticity, community, and faith in the plant keep him moving forward.
