We were lucky enough to sit down with Kevin & Seth of Lazy River Products out of Dracut, Massachusetts, for a deep dive into legacy cannabis roots, in-house genetics, and real-deal craft cultivation. Kevin, one of three owners—and part of a tight-knit crew of high school buddies who reunited years later—shares his journey from the early days of legal medical cannabis to helping build a brand grounded in passion and purpose. Kevin got his start as one of Massachusetts’ first legally licensed caretakers, providing medicine to his landlord who was battling the AIDS virus. That path led him to legendary cannabis activists Dennis Peron and Brownie Mary, shaping his outlook on cannabis as true medicine. From there, Kevin took his talents west, spending time in California and Hawaii, where he sharpened his cultivation skills and grew some of the dankest flower on the Big Island.

Seth brings his own flavor to the table, recounting his time in Vermont working as a chef and crafting unforgettable infused menus for underground cannabis events before legalization. Together, the Lazy River team showcases several exclusive, in-house bred strains, all of which went a perfect 6-for-6 on the Orange Photonics LightLab 3, proving these genetics aren’t just stories—they’re backed by science. This episode is a celebration of friendship, legacy cannabis, and the long road from caretaking and underground events to tested, compliant, top-tier products in today’s market.

In this must-hear episode, we’re joined by Charles Stockstill—U.S. National Guard Soldier, Certified Ganjier, and outspoken cannabis advocate—who pulls up with breaking news that sends shockwaves through cannabis history. Charles breaks down the rediscovery of one of the most infamous strains ever to bless the culture: the original 1987 Skunk #1, brought back to life by Minerva Medicinals. Charles shares the wild backstory of how Kirk stumbled upon the long-lost Skunk #1 seeds during a clean-out of a foreclosed house in Maine, uncovering a true genetic time capsule. Against all odds, those seeds were preserved, popped, and cultivated—reviving the loud, unmistakable skunk that helped define an era of cannabis.

From genetic preservation and strain authenticity to the cultural impact of Skunk #1 and why this resurrection matters today, this episode is a deep dive into legacy cannabis, modern stewardship, and the passion it takes to protect the plant’s true history. If you care about real genetics, real stories, and real skunk—this one’s for you.
