Streaming Premiere of Frenchy Dreams of Hashish Documentary & 2023 #hashporn Contest
Cannabis enthusiast and student of the art of solventless extraction
Frenchy Dreams of Hashish is a film that celebrates the cannabis plant, the farmer, and the hash-maker. It’s a unique look into both culture and industry, showcasing master hashishin Frenchy Cannoli’s lifelong pursuit of perfect hashish, while highlighting the ethos of sustainable, sun-grown cannabis. Starting with a simple walk in Barcelona with a camera, this journey eventually became an incredibly authentic documentary and a compelling tribute to Frenchy’s life’s work. Focusing through the lens of Northern California, the film addresses the importance of craft, quality, and perseverance in all cannabis-producing regions of the world.
And now, it’s finally here for the world to see.

#Hashporn6
Back in the spring of 2020, Frenchy started what he called a little "hashish photo beauty contest" when the pandemic was taking its toll on in-person events. While he was frustrated with not being able to attend all the cool conferences, Cups, and events he had lined up in the spring of 2020, he decided to do something about it. A virtual competition was born, known as #hashporn on Instagram.
Frenchy, Madame Cannoli, and the community enjoyed that inaugural Hashporn so much that they immediately did the 2nd one, and then started doing one for each 4/20, and then again for Frenchy's birthday in December.
Now it’s time for Hashporn #6, which will run from Sunday, April 9th to Saturday, April 15th.
Here’s how it works:
Post your photo entry to your Instagram feed, tagging @frenchycannoli and #hashporn6. Madame Cannoli will repost the best entries daily from April 9th to 15th with guidance from her guest judges.
Note that not all entries will be reposted. This is a photo contest to show off beautiful work, therefore out-of-focus photos, messy photos, or uninspiring work will not be showcased.

Conclusion
Frenchy said “everything starts with the land, the farmer, and the genetics”. It’s a powerful message, and it’s carried on through his legacy and the community he influenced so deeply. Frenchy Dreams of Hashish is a phenomenal film that reminds us of the energy behind Frenchy’s smile and his never-ending enthusiasm for his life’s work. Events like the virtual After-Party and the Hashporn competition keep the community connected. Even after his passing, Frenchy’s influence continues to grow.
Thanks to Madame Cannoli for everything she does in service to the community while promoting the power of hashish.
