Fire King x Hogwash Pharms Whitethorn Rose Hash Hole Wins at the 2025 MJBowl
We are thrilled to announce that our Whitethorn Rose Hash Hole has won 1st Place in the Infused Preroll category at the First Annual MJBowl Awards at MJBizCon in Las Vegas on December 4, 2025!
Presented by MJ Biz and Budist, the MJBowl is a first-of-its-kind, bi-costal cannabis competition designed to spotlight the most exceptional cannabis products in both California and New York. The MJBowl brought together licensed producers and expert judges to elevate what quality means in the cannabis industry, coast to coast. With hundreds of entries in all categories (Flower, Prerolls, Vapes, Concentrates, and Edibles), it is truly amazing to have our craft recognized in this way.
What Makes this Win So Meaningful to Us:
The dedicated judging panels on both coasts assembled by Budist were made up of professional critics, industry operators, and seasoned enthusiasts; all experienced individuals who know their stuff. Each and every product was evaluated rigorously, with a process focused on craftsmanship, consistency, and consumer experience.
Taking top honors in this field isn’t just about winning a trophy, it’s about earning recognition from people who understand and enjoy cannabis at the deepest level. As Budist Co-Founder and CEO, Jocelyn Sheltraw, wrote:
“We wanted to bring a level of rigor and shared language to how we assess and celebrate cannabis products. This competition is about recognizing the hard work of producers and creating a platform that translates quality to consumers.”
Our “Cut-No-Corners” Approach
This award represents more than a win, it reflects how we operate every single day here at Fire King. As our CEO, Jon Zaglin, put it on MJBizDaily:
“We make the best product we can possibly make [...] We’ve really developed a cult following in our region of Northern California. Our cut-no-corners approach is at the very heart of this Hash Hole. From sourcing premium flower, to our solventless hash-making process, the cold cure of our live rosin, and perfecting the roll for maximum, slow-burning enjoyment… every step is done with intention. No shortcuts. No compromises. Just a meticulous focus on flavor, quality, and experience.”
Statewide Availability + Retail Placement at The Artist Tree
Thanks to our MJBowl win, the Whitethorn Rose Hash Hole is now available at The Artist Tree retail locations in West Hollywood, Laguna Woods, Hawthorne and El Sobrante. This makes it even easier to experience what makes this hash hole so special.
