Frenchy Cannoli is an Oakland-based teacher, consultant, artisan and activist dedicated to the production and appreciation of traditional cannabis concentrates. Frenchy grew up in Nice, France but left home as soon as he could, inspired by the promise of exotic adventure and by the imported hashish common in late-60s Europe. He lived nomadically for over twenty years, staying with traditional producers and learning techniques handed down over generations. This took him from Morocco to Mexico, to Nepal, Pakistan, and India, where he spent eight growing seasons living in caves and harvesting cannabis resin with Parvati Valley cultivators. Eventually, he settled with his family in California, where medical access laws let him go from hiding his lifes work to producing legal cannabis concentrates. Collaborating with legendary Emerald Triangle growers and experimenting with techniques like aging, Frenchys since scaled up to producing pure gold (Cannabis Now) for licensed dispensaries.
