<p>🎙️ <strong>Budtender Insights: Perspectives on Concentrates</strong></p><p>Live from our first Budtender Insights event (March 29, 2025)</p><p>Let’s be real—concentrates can be intimidating. With terms like “live rosin,” “diamonds and sauce,” “CRC,” and “six-star hash” flying around, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. That’s why we brought together a room full of budtenders, extractors, and cannabis pros to actually talk about it.</p><p>In this special live episode, hosts Ashleen and Rileigh (aka the Chronic Gals) are joined by:</p><p>🔥 <strong>Demetre Janness</strong>, lead extractor at Sessions Extracts</p><p>🌱 <strong>Jeff Hickock</strong>, team lead at High End Market Place (and longtime grower + medical consultant)</p><p>Together, we break down:</p><ul><li>Solvent vs solventless extraction (and why “solventless” is a little misleading 👀)</li><li>How different textures—like shatter, batter, and rosin—are actually made</li><li>What customers need to know about color, consistency, and harvest dates</li><li>Why THC % doesn’t tell the whole story</li><li>And why cold-starting your honey is the best way to actually taste your dabs 🔥</li></ul><p>Whether you’re new to extracts or already speaking in six-star slang, this episode is packed with insights to boost your budtending game.</p><p>💚 <strong>Special thanks to our sponsors:</strong></p><p>Daydreamer, Tokeativity, The Exchange, Cannabis Alliance, Royal Rose, Nug Nips, and Asterion Temple — y’all helped make this first Budtender Insights event possible.</p><p>Become a member at Daydreamer here: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/DaydreamerPDX" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/DaydreamerPDX</a></p><p>🎧 <strong>Listen in to learn:</strong></p><ul><li>How to talk to customers about extracts with confidence</li><li>What makes BHO different from rosin (beyond the hype)</li><li>Why “ice white” might not be a good sign</li><li>Tips for getting the last dab out of the jar (hello, straw trick)</li></ul><p>📍 Want more like this?</p><p>→ Follow @takeroottraining + @chronicgals_420</p><p>→ Grab our terpene + ECS workbooks:</p><p><strong>Chill Spectrum</strong> – <a href="https://takeroottraining.com/products/chill-spectrum-vol-1-an-educational-coloring-book-for-stoners" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://takeroottraining.com/products/chill-spectrum-vol-1-an-educational-coloring-book-for-stoners</a></p><p><strong>Green Pathways</strong> – <a href="https://takeroottraining.com/products/green-pathways-an-educational-workbook-for-stoners" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://takeroottraining.com/products/green-pathways-an-educational-workbook-for-stoners</a></p><p>→ Join the next Budtender Insights event or tune in to more episodes at <a href="http://takeroottraining.com" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">takeroottraining.com</a></p><p>✨ <strong>This is what happens when budtenders are seen, heard, and set up to shine.</strong></p><p>Let’s keep learning and keep growing.</p>
