E56: The Legacy of Frenchy Cannoli

Frenchy Cannoli was a California-based teacher, consultant, artisan, and activist dedicated to the production and appreciation of traditional cannabis concentrates. He 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 the late-60s Europe. He lived nomadically for over twenty years, staying with traditional producers and learning techniques handed down over generations. 

During his lifetime, Frenchy taught his “Lost Art of the Hashish” seminars to thousands of aspiring concentrate-makers. An advocate of open-source knowledge-sharing, Frenchy used social media to demonstrate techniques, push for public education, and support regional growing certifications for cannabis production.

We lost Frenchy Cannoli on July 28th, 2021 at the age of 65. Since his death, his wife has been working to edit and publish both a docu-series and a manuscript that Frenchy left behind, which will soon be available to the public.
