Thank You for Two Years of Doobie Memories

What has been your favorite Doobie Nights memory? We kicked things off with a soft opening party after the Emerald Cup in December 2019, and after testing the waters and dialing everything in, we officially opened our doors a couple weeks later. We had only been open for a few months when the pandemic began, and quickly shifted to curbside pickup only. Our menu offerings have evolved over time and our team has grown since then.

Our secret sauce is our flexible and capable team holding strong with us as we all ride the waves. We have been able to keep our doors open, our shelves stocked and most importantly, our customers happy thanks to their hard work. We have even been able to safely bring people together to celebrate art, music, and our favorite plant medicine several times over the past two years… Like the time we had Big Bertha, a decked out Airstream from Garcia Hand Picked, out in our side parking lot, and we danced to Side Effects playing our favorite jams from the Dead. Or the live streams that Blueprints did from our empty store floor during lockdown, so we could all party together virtually while social distancing in the comfort of our onesies. Not to mention some wild times and long lines for 4/20, 7/10 and the occasional after party for local industry events!
We have been able to collaborate with so many of our amazing brands, tour local farms and facilities (shout out to Elyon for always hooking up our new team members with farm tours), make connections, and build community. Aren’t we lucky that we get to sell something for a living that can bring so many wonderful people together like this? There have been some pretty epic highs - like our collaborative events and getting to hook up customers with well-stocked goody bags. And many long hours of hard work - inventory counts, team bonding while doing highway cleanup, learning and re-learning POS platforms, some slow days and… well, the absolute madness of 4/20. And through it all our team has absolutely crushed it! Doobie Fam, you are truly the best.
We couldn’t be more grateful to have the support of our community, and the opportunity to work in an industry that uplifts and empowers humanity. Thank you for being a part of it all - you make this magic possible!
Please share your favorite Doobie Nights memories or event stories in the comments. We look forward to many more years of growing, elevating, and partying together. Cheers to two years, and onward and upward!

If there's one strain name that even non-smokers recognize, it's Pineapple Express . Ask any budtender in Santa Rosa and they'll tell you the same thing - this is one of the most requested strains on the shelf, week after week, year after year. But past the classic stoner movie and the tropical name, there's a real, well-documented cultivar behind the hype: a sativa-dominant hybrid with a tropical pineapple aroma, a fast, happy high, and enough staying power to remain a top seller two decades after it first landed on dispensary menus.  So what actually is Pineapple Express ? Is it a real strain, or just a movie tie-in? What does it taste like, how strong is it, and which products should you actually be reaching for? We're breaking down all of it below - genetics, effects, terpenes, potency, and exactly where to find it on our menu.
