Kenji Fujishima is a legacy grower from Los Angeles that has deep roots in the Californian cannabis scene. Having build his knowledge during the pre-215 days with B-Real from Cypress Hill fame, he is credited with having innovated some of the finest craft cannabis strains in the early Californian market.
