The 8th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was set in place to prohibit the federal government from imposing excessive bail, fines, or cruel and unusual punishments. But unfortunately, it’s not always upheld, and individuals, like Rick Wershe Jr. aka “White Boy Rick”, are overly criminalized for non-violent drug crimes.

The 8th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution was set in place to prohibit the federal government from imposing excessive bail, fines, or cruel and unusual punishments. But unfortunately, it’s not always upheld, and individuals, like Rick Wershe Jr. aka “White Boy Rick”, are overly criminalized for non-violent drug crimes.
Products
Flower
Each strain deemed worthy enough to find its way into an 8th pouch has been meticulously pheno-hunted and hand-selected by Rick himself. All flower is grown indoors in a “Class C” facility, using pesticide-free methods. This means every batch of flower you buy is not only guaranteed to be potent, but pure.

5 Premium Pre-rolls
When it comes to pre-rolls, a lot of companies cut costs by using trim, aka scraps. Rick wanted nothing but the best. That’s why The 8th pre-rolls are made using the same premium flower sold in our pre-packaged pouches. Each pre-roll is perfectly balanced, so they are easy to pull and burn evenly.
Vape Carts
For those that would rather celebrate The 8th differently, our premium distillate vape carts are a great go-to. All The 8th vape carts are made using premium flower, in a state-of-the-art extraction facility located right outside Rick’s hometown, Detroit, Michigan. Like all of The 8th products, our vape carts are tested with strict standards and only in state-certified testing facilities.
Rick wershe jr.
Rick Wershe Jr. (aka “White Boy Rick”) was recently released from prison after serving over 32 years for non-violent drug offenses allegedly committed while he was a minor. As such, his life story is a prime example of the overly harsh penalties levied against victims of the decades-long “War on Drugs”.
Cultivation
Pleasantrees Facility
The 8th has exclusively partnered with Pleasantrees to grow and produce all “The 8th” products. Pleasantrees is a fully vertically intergraded, privately held, multi-state operating cannabis brand that started in Michigan back in 2018. Rick joined forces with Pleasantrees not only because of their ability to cultivate quality flower, but they aligned with his brands’ values. Rick was quoted as saying, “One of the things that sold me about Pleasantrees was their criminal justice reform that they were already working on. So, when they started talking to me, it was kind of like a hand fitting the glove perfectly.” For more information on Pleasantrees, click the link here.
