🌱 From Soil 2 Soul: Brooklyn’s Culture, Cannabis & Community Uncovered

Welcome to Soil 2 Soul, the place where Brooklyn speaks for itself. We’re not here to sugarcoat or corporate-wash cannabis — we’re here to keep it real, raw, and rooted in the community that raised us.

This blog is about more than just strains, sales, or stats. It’s about the people, the stories, and the soul of Brooklyn. From the stoops to the subways, from Prospect Park to Flatbush Ave, we’re digging into how cannabis connects us — as culture, as medicine, and as movement.

Expect to find:

  • 🍃 Real Talk: Honest convos on cannabis, culture, and community.
  • 🎤 Voices of Brooklyn: Stories from budtenders, artists, neighbors, and everyday people shaping the scene.
  • 📰 News You Need: Updates on cannabis laws, local events, and what’s really happening on the ground.
  • 🎧 Extra Flavor: Tap into our newsletter and podcast for deeper dives, laughs, and perspectives you won’t get anywhere else.

This isn’t just a blog. It’s a Brooklyn journal with heart — blending cannabis, culture, and community from the ground up.

Because from the soil, to the soul… we grow together.

Terp Talk: The Compounds Powering Your Experience

By Matawana • November 19, 2025
If cannabinoids are the engines of cannabis, then terpenes are the steering wheel, the GPS, and the vibe check all in one. They guide the experience. They shape the mood. They decide whether your session sends you floating through a calm evening breeze, locked into work mode, or laughing on your couch like it's 2009 again. Most people think cannabis is all about THC levels. But ask any connoisseur, grower, or legacy-market legend- and they’ll tell you: the real magic sits in the terpenes. Welcome to the side of cannabis that doesn’t just get overlooked… it gets smelled first.
