LOWD is award-winning cannabis that embodies the art of urban craft cultivation. Headquartered in Portland, Oregon, LOWD exists effortlessly at the intersection of urban culture and epic nature unique to the city. By employing innovative processes aimed at peak plant performance, LOWD’s flower is aimed at impressing even the most discerning of smokers. The company takes superior quality to another level through its Smoke Like A Grower a/k/a SLAG jars, which contain intentionally selected buds that are stick trimmed straight into LOWD’s one-ounce, half-ounce, and quarter-ounce collectible, ultraviolet resistant glass, providing the optimal slow cure. LOWD fans are literally the first to ever touch these buds. Today’s cannabis market needs innovation and authenticity — a lack of cultural diversity, the abandonment of legacy growers, and alienation of its pioneers threaten the culture — but, it's alive. LOWD holds the flag, high, proud, and with unapologetic humility knowing that the best thing about being a cannabis grower is smoking like one.
