🎙 Episode 156 Nelson Lindsley of Poetry of Plants
This week, JP sits down with Nelson Lindsley, founder of Poetry of Plants — a cultivator, innovator, and lifelong creator whose journey bridges two worlds: music and cannabis.
Before stepping into the cultivation spotlight, Nelson lived the rock-and-roll dream. He was signed to Geffen Records during the same era as Snoop Dogg and hosted legendary jam sessions in his Los Angeles warehouse — moments that captured the creative energy of the early 2000s music scene.
Years later, Nelson turned that same drive toward cannabis, founding Poetry of Plants and becoming one of the most respected voices in craft cultivation. With over two decades in the game, he’s built a brand rooted in heritage genetics, sustainability, and innovation — from land-race preservation to advanced lighting design and modern breeding programs.
In this episode, Nelson shares stories from both sides of his career — from life in the studio to life in the grow — and what it takes to stay creative, focused, and forward-thinking across two evolving industries.
