Trapping Humboldt In ‘96, Hitting 50m+ Views, & Becoming Cannabis Comedy Kings: Black Market Vikings Ep. 130

Try not to choke on your smoke between all the wild takes and unbelievable stories during this episode. Our team is still reeling from the hilarious honor of hosting the notoriously disruptive kings of cannabis comedy, the Black Market Vikings, in our studio. The guys sit down with OG jokesters Jack Rawson (@CJ_Humboldt) and Jeremy Sanders (@JayHumboldt) for a tell-all that takes more twists and gut-busting turns than you can even imagine. The Black Market Vikings have been shaking up the California cannabis scene from the jump, and it all began with CJ Humboldt trapping and scrounging for primo bag seeds around Humboldt County in 1996. We’ve all heard the legends about how pumping and jumping the Emerald Triangle was during the beginning of the Prop 215 era. If you’ve ever wondered what it was like to be a young buck back then with something to prove and plenty of good smoke in your lungs—you can’t miss this part of the pod. CJ and Jay chronicle the beginning of Black Market Vikings in the wake of legalization and California’s rapidly shifting market and finding their niche in outlandish cannabis comedy. You’ll hear CJ drop gems about everything from going viral for their “That Weed Is Trash” skit to narrowly surviving a nasty car crash while simultaneously getting roadhead. Yes, you read that right. And that’s just scraping the surface of the strange stories and success these two have seen despite facing countless obstacles and rough situations while growing up. Following the success of their YouTube channel and overall social media presence, Black Market Vikings further got their foothold in the culture when they began dropping crazy genetics that they didn’t even grow! Find out how CJ and Jay have built a weed brand without having to do any of the growing themselves. Learn the origin story of hype cultivars like White Lobster and their hilariously popular “Yamagucci Coochie” strain. We highkey recommend not skipping a single second of this conversation not only for the comedic relief, but the sheer audacity that some unique individuals have to stake their claim in the cannabis industry by literally any means necessary. Follow Black Market Vikings on YouTube and social media for daily laughs and strains that sound funny, but seriously SMOKE.
