New York's Loudest

Don’t use his government name in vain, ladies, but make sure to listen to the jokes and jokes and jokes begotten by our favorite street artist, Brooklynite, and deejay pal, Smurfo U Dirty. This is one of Mia’s close buds, so you’ll have to endure lots of co-trolling, but Danielle’s history in the grey market is the real dirt: her brownies made Smurfo pay, in stoned-ness. As a self employed artist, Smurfo has collaborated with brands such as Cheap Monday, Oak, Wataah, and creates custom art for private clients.

We love Stone Road prerolls—it's just science. Since first meeting Lex Corwin, founder of Stone Road, we knew he was doing more than offering your average preroll. Born and raised in NYC but with a passion for nature and cannabis farming, Lex is legit. The brand uses an innovative approach to loyalty, and you can download the Stone Road app to see what it's all about—or you can tune in for a preview.

Once again, your favorite weed pals are in gorgeous Los Angeles, soaking up the sun, and in Guercio’s case—as much THC as possible. The squirrels got a one-on-one look behind the scenes at Lowell Cafe, and you will want to hear all about it. Speaking with cannabis advocate and executive Chef Andrea Drummer, her background in nonprofits and exceptional cooking skills honed at Le Cordon Bleu and the Ritz Carlton had us salivating over their forthcoming menu. We also hit it off with hospitality master and general manager, Lily Estanislao, who comes from hard-hitting NYC’s Tao group.  Don’t take our word for it—listen to these dope women of color kicking ass in cannabis and creating something entirely new in West Hollywood. Lowell Cafe is now open, so be sure to make a reservation next time you’re in sunny L.A., maybe you’ll see Mia in the corner praying for an AntiDos.

Bouncing off of NYLP’s appearance on the Top Rank podcast on Red Bull Radio, Dan and Mia are continuing the conversation with the whip-smart and incredibly creative authors of Documenting the Nameplate, Marcel Rosa-Salas and Isabel Flower. We asked the team what they learned about weed since our last convo, and the results were very inspiring. 

Now our guest Alejandra Araujo returns—to New York! This bi-coastal adventure continues with more creative discussions, and many hilarious admissions. #babytylenol #honeymarks

Here we chat with weed enthusiast and creative filmmaker/director Alejandra Araujo. She’s hosted the NYLP ladies in LA before, and is a collaborator with Mia on multiple visual projects. We chopped it up on the differences between the states we both live in and how cannabis is making waves out west. 

In this first ever audio special from New York’s Loudest podcast, Mia and Dan talk their firsts, including their first time getting high. The common thread is the sneakiness that keeps New York’s culture so...hidden. As we progress into the decrim future, these convos are minted forever on the historical record.
