Behind The Scenes: Ep. 3 The Lawsuit

Deep in the bowels of The Nug Nation studio, we meticulously bring cannabis to life. Frame by frame, characters emerge from strains of weed, strictly for your amusement and ours. As the process unfolds, our staff tirelessly strives to create timeless content. And as part of our weekly blog series, we thought we would share some of the more intimate, behind the scenes moments with all of you.

So please enjoy, as we have, the making of The Nug Nation Ep.3: The Lawsuit.
