WHO THE HELL IS BIGMAN?
The Short Version: Engineer Who Got His Hands Dirty
RANDY WINTLE
Cannabis Consultant (Who Actually Did The Thing)
I came into cannabis through engineering with a clear vision: build a hash rosin company. Premium, solventless, craft concentrates. That was the goal from day one.
Then reality hit. The market wasn't ready. Retailers wanted flower. Banks looked at our projections and laughed. So we adapted.
Suddenly we're running a facility designed for hash production that now has to excel at flower. Genetics that need to perform in BOTH markets. Teams with different skill sets that need to work together.
This wasn't a clean pivot. This was running two businesses simultaneously while the cannabis market lost its mind. Prices dropping. Regulations changing. Retailers demanding more for less.
Eventually, the flower market commoditized. Race to the bottom. Meanwhile, hash rosin was finally gaining traction. So we came full circle — back to hash. But this time with five years of battle scars and hard-won knowledge.
WHY HASH ROSIN?
Because it's where the money actually is — and the smart operators are figuring that out.
2-5x Premium Pricing
While everyone races to the bottom on flower, hash rosin commands premium prices. Customers WANT to pay more. Retailers WANT to stock it.
Loyal AF Customers
Once someone finds hash rosin they love, they become repeat buyers. They ask for it by name. It's not commodity cannabis — it's connoisseur product.
Still Early Enough
Not everyone is doing it well yet. The barrier to entry is real (knowledge, equipment, skill). Less competition = higher margins for those who know what they're doing.
