Berner really building just an army of weed dealers to take over the game. salute.

[@herblassasin]

He sounded really worried about corporate greed and influence. Remember armies need money!

[@CruzVerdoza]

Let's remember that

[@dertythegrower]

The small growers run this game.. without us the bit corporate guys in denver and cali(worked for em) wouldnt have any info. miami and humboldt and seattle and gsncouver small time growers made this, not cookies warehouse corporate stuff.. he is corporate you ducks

His Cookies smell proof bags saved my ass so many times

[@hamschh]

yea i used to have to carry around a mason jar with me when i traveled. Berner's cookies bags look nice + they're smell proof.

[@002brooklyn]

How

[@macdevin3253]

Bs his bags do not work i had cookie bags inside of smellproof cookie backpack still could smell it..

[@americangangsterlock1550]

I don't own any but my buddy has had one for awhile now. It deff decreases the smell. It won't work if you have about 10-25 already out joints/blunts with residue. It will work 80-90% if you have some really smelly flower. I came from the era when you put it in 2-3 layers of socks and spray it with cologne or Axe so mom's doesn't go through your room. This product deff works, you won't get anymore smell proof. Than again I don't live in a medical state:(

He has at least four different series on the Cannabis industry on KZbin. He is the man that most of the hip-hop world praises and patronize his cookie brand. He is why Whiz Kalifa and Snoop have their brand of cannabis. Dude is beyond famous in the industry.
