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.

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.

Genetics and one of the most respected voices in craft cannabis cultivation. What started as a casual night of laughs, stories, and plenty of Oban 14 turned into one of the most enlightening and inspiring conversations we’ve ever had. During the first night, the crew let their hair down, passed around some of John’s legendary Oregon-grown flower, and shared endless laughs over good scotch and great stories. But when the smoke cleared and the glasses were empty, we had to bring John back for round two—this time diving deep into his philosophy, his path, and his purpose.

This week’s guest had to reschedule last minute, but the show must go on. Trevor, Ricky, and Rob kept the conversation rolling with a deep dive into the state of the cannabis industry—both here in Massachusetts and across the country.
