Craft Cannabis

In this episode, Big Dave reveals how he’s bringing craft cannabis and a community vibe to New Jersey’s budding legal market. Host Kyle Kushman chats with Big Dave – a legacy cultivator turned dispensary owner – about reviving small-batch quality and authenticity in a commercial setting. Together, they explore why putting people and quality first can transform the industry.

Big Dave shares his approach to supporting local independent growers, treating his team and customers like family, and pushing back against a corporate mindset with love, culture, and craftsmanship.

Whether you’re a cannabis connoisseur or just curious about the culture, this conversation offers an inspiring look at how one person’s passion for quality over profit is changing the game.
