Mother Teresa helped the orphans, and Jesus brought dead people back to life. Even the greatest religious figures benefit from having some kind of practical skill. For Seattle’s Cannabis Reverend, that happens to be concentrating cannabis into extra virgin flower oil.

Really fucking tasty pot oil.

Jeff Wilhoit is better known as either the Cannabis Reverend (his name on Instagram, where he has 20,000 followers) or Jeff Church (the name he uses at the cannabis conferences he speaks at around the country). And he is getting international attention for the incredibly flavorful weed oil he makes at Puffin Farm’s processing facility in the Seattle neighborhood of Magnolia. While much of the pot industry is making cheap, potent concentrates by heavily processing low-grade pot, Wilhoit is doing the opposite.

Lester Black is a former staff writer for The Stranger, where he wrote about Seattle news, cannabis, and beer. He is sometimes sober.
