In 1999 Canadian cannabis enthusiast Marcus Richardson also know as 'The Bubbleman", developed a safe, compact portable trichome extraction kit called Bubble Bags.

Bubble Bags are series of nested fabric bags with filter screens on the bottom designed to isolate the different grades of trichome heads. As a result Bubble Bags became a very popular method of producing extracts, using only ice and water instead of chemicals. Championed by the medicinal use community, the extract became known as 'bubble'.

Richardson a native of Manitoba was a pioneer in the cannabis movement helping with others to start a business called Hemp Seeds Unlimited in 1994. They imported seeds from the Ukraine and planted an experimental crop in the following year, and then planted Canada's 2nd legal hemp crop in 1996. Marcus was involved behind the scenes with British Columbia's first marijuana dispensary.

Since then, Bubble Bags and his other ventures have grown from vapour bars, raw food restaurant, terpene and extract businesses both in Canada and abroad. He is widely regarded as a champion in the continued research and development of varied processes for both the medicinal and recreational cannabis communities. Richardson, a dedicated family man, is an accomplished photographer and his social media presence is huge with weekly Sunday 'Hash Church' episodes, Youtube's Bubbleman's World, 'Wake and Bake' broadcasts and many appearances in various trade show, news and media outlets, as an expert and industry personality.
Richardson lives in a picturesque community just outside of Vancouver, BC, Canada with his wife Charlene, his high school sweetheart, and their 3 children. Follow BC Bubbleman:
