This week, JP links up with one of the most respected names in solventless hash — Marc Hammond, co-founder of the award-winning Kalya Extracts. Raised in Santa Rosa, California, Marc’s path into the cannabis world was seeded early, growing up alongside Ken Estes’ sons — yes, that Ken Estes, creator of the legendary Granddaddy Purple (GDP). His first real experience with high-quality cannabis? A direct taste of GDP straight from the source, and it changed everything.

From those early Northern California roots, Marc built a legacy driven by flavor, precision, and integrity. He sharpened his skills in the pre-rec era, eventually launching Kalya Extracts — a brand synonymous with clean, full-flavor rosin and repeat wins at the Emerald Cup. Whether it’s strain selection, post-process handling, or packaging innovation, Kalya continues to lead with intention and results. Marc’s story is one of consistency, connection, and staying true to the plant through decades of evolution.

🔥 What you’ll hear in this episode:
    •    How Santa Rosa’s legacy culture shaped Marc’s love for the plant
    •    The influence of GDP and the early lessons from the Estes family
    •    Why flavor always comes first — and how Kalya makes that happen every drop
    •    Product design innovations like pop-vac jars and cold-cure technique breakdowns
    •    What it means to protect the culture while still playing the long game in the legal market

Y’all know what time it is… Roll em fat, torch your rigs, pack your bongs, bag up some work, water your plants, do what you gotta do because we’re about to take this journey with Marc from Kalya!
