From The Bay to Bangkok: Josh Schmidt’s Rise in Global Weed Culture 🌍 Presented By @NuggNotes 🪴 From street deals on Haight Street to launching Cookies Thailand, Josh Schmidt’s story is global, gritty, and game-changing. In this NuggNotes deep dive, we follow Josh’s journey through underground gardens, international genetics hunts, and full-scale brand empires that helped shape modern cannabis culture. 🌱 Bay Area Roots (1990s) Catching trains from Burlingame to the Haight, Josh was a Prop 215 baby—smoking GDP and Cherry AK long before it was cool. In 1998, he got his first medical card and never looked back. 💨 Dispensary Builder (2004–2008) Josh helped launch Trichome Healing Caregivers (THC)—Van Nuys’ first dispensary. • Introduced NorCal purps to LA’s OG Kush scene • Affordable fire when others were charging $35/g Shut down by the DEA in 2008, but the seeds were already planted. 🇹🇭 Thailand Hustle In exile, Josh secretly grew weed on his Bangkok balcony—while selling Thai rice & Colombian coffee on Alibaba. Real trapper energy in the global shadows. 🌍 International Genetic Hunter From Spain to Morocco, India to Amsterdam, Josh chased rare phenos & mastered traditional hash tech like charas—becoming a student of the plant, globally. 🌲 Oroville Outdoor Beast Mode Back in NorCal, Josh ran 40-acre farms and 99-plant monster beds. Tahoe OG, Chem Valley Kush, and bulk gas strains defined his large-scale outdoor game. 🏢 Oregon Moves & Cookies Expansion (2014) Josh helped build Oregon’s largest indoor grow (500+ lights), filled G Pen pods, and helped Berner enter Oregon’s rec market with Cookies drops. 🍪 Cookies Thailand Launch (2023) In Bangkok, Josh opened Southeast Asia’s first legal Cookies store—offering Gary Payton, Cereal Milk, and LA genetics with Thai hospitality. The West-East cannabis crossover was official. 🔬 Natura Powerhouse (2018–Now) Josh helped scale Natura Life Sciences, a $90M, 12-acre facility in Sacramento. Birthed brands like: • Hit Sluggers • Flowers by Fidels • Highsman • Jelly Wizard 🍍 Dee Thai Gummies Rosin-based, vegan, high-potency edibles inspired by Thai flavors—like Mango Sticky Rice, Lychee, and Pandan Coconut. A love letter to culture through candy. ⚾ Hit Sluggers = Smoke x Nostalgia Baseball cards + luxury pre-rolls = collector collabs with Champelli, Cam, and GasHouse. Vintage vibes. Modern fire. 🚀 Modern Cannabis Architect Josh Schmidt isn’t just a founder—he’s a culture-shaper, global thinker, and taste curator. From underground Prop 215 grows to Cookies Bangkok and solventless global drops, he’s redefining what cannabis leadership can be. ⸻ Subscribe to NuggNotes for global cannabis stories, legacy brand profiles, and modern market insight from the front lines of culture. 📲 Follow us on Instagram & Twitter: @nuggnotes 🪴 Global game.
