When you roll solo in the game you gotta pick-up game from the internet. Before I knew how to roll a blunt I had to search for videos on YouTube.

If You Breathing You Achieving

From Seattle to South Beach I have driven across this beautiful country during my 23 year Navy career and beyond. Most of those miles driven have been solo. Similar to my medical cannabis mental health journey.

When you don't know better you cant do better. I started out rolling Swisher Sweets in 2017 with medical cannabis from Northwest Cannabis Connection. I had to actually look up how-to toll a blunt on YouTube. It’s a little embarrassing. Ridin Dirty however the screens keep you informed now.

In the early 1990’s the iconic rap duo Underground Kingz essentially built their logo similar to Swisher Sweets as a tribute. You be the judge. I always knew there was a reason I gravitated to smoking Swisher Sweets initially.

Underground Kingz in the early ’90s were product influencers before the world wide web was even invented. Trill recognize Trill.

The Southern Way

During the early ’90s, Swisher Sweets emerged as the cigar brand of choice among marijuana enthusiasts in the south and western regions of the country. Swisher Sweets cigars have become a staple in hip-hop, maintaining their popularity for the better part of a quarter-century.
