Today’s SnowBrains Podcast is brought to you by A Golden State, the California leader in premium cannabis flower. Born in Northern California under the watch of the Cascade Mountains, A Golden State's plants are hand-watered with snowmelt from Mount Shasta, and sustainably grown in their carbon-neutral, hydroelectric cultivation facility.

What started from humble beginnings, long before the cannabis renaissance, is now California’s highest quality flower. A Golden State’s proprietary, exotic strains are carefully curated for recreation or relaxation, sharing with friends, or unwinding solo. Their artisanal whole flower is available in eighths and pre-rolls at dispensaries across California.

Find the perfect headspace for euphoric enjoyment. A Golden State is not a brand or a place, it’s a state of being.
