Say hey to Brandon, a passionate budtender / manager and concentrate connoisseur with a love for fishing, flavor, and educating others. In this edition of Behind the Counter, Brandon shares his first “woah” moment with cannabis, what makes binske stand out, and why he’s proud to be a knowledgeable and approachable resource for anyone curious about the plant.
Q: What was your first “woah, this is special” experience with cannabis?
A: “My first woah this is special moment was trying some True 6-star hash from Allgreens. The strain was Cheese, and it left me wishing I had a whole jar full!”
Q: How has cannabis positively impacted your well-being?
A: “Cannabis has created friendships, business partnerships, and connections with
like-minded hashy individuals. Beyond that, it’s helped me eat, sleep, and relax; its medicinal benefits have truly shaped my day-to-day wellness.”
Q: What’s your favorite binske product or strain?
A: “Definitely the 1g Live Resin Cart—it’s incredibly effective, long-lasting, and has amazing flavor. I keep going back to it whenever I need quick relief that doesn’t sacrifice taste.”
Q: What’s something more people should know about binske?
A: “I wish more people knew where to find your products! Hash locators and SKU finders would be huge in helping people track down everything from binske to ONI. There’s demand; we just need to connect the dots.”
Q: What do you love doing when you ‘binske’?
A: “Fishing with my buddy Dwizz (@LargeMouthHash). There’s a big crossover between fishing and cannabis—both take patience, determination, and fortitude. Plus, nothing beats the peacefulness of the water.”
Q: What are you most proud of in your budtending journey?
A: “I’ve put in serious time and energy to deeply understand my products. I want to be the most educated budtender and consumer possible, and I love sharing that knowledge. You can never have too much!”
Q: If your personality were a strain, which one would it be?
A: “Tropicanna Cookies! It’s bold, bright, citrusy—and maybe a little polarizing. Whether you love it or not, you’ve got to respect it!”
Q: Flower, edibles, or concentrates?
A: “Concentrates all day. The flavors, the fast effects, the complexity—nothing compares. If you haven’t had binske or ONI rosin, you’re seriously missing out. Purple Limes is insane.”
Q: What cannabis myth do you love busting?
A: “The THC percentage myth! I love asking customers what they think the THC number means and turning that into a real convo about effect vs. expectation. It’s not all about the numbers.”
Q: Final question—your go-to munchie and stoner movie?
A: “Cap’n Crunch Chicken. Look it up, thank me later. And for the movie? Tropic
Thunder—it’s wild from start to finish.”
Stay tuned for more Behind the Counter spotlights, where we celebrate the people who make the cannabis experience personal, informed, and full of fun.
