Powerzzzup is not new to the cannabis game and has been creating legendary exotic strains since the ’80s. This California-based company has created a larger-than-life name for themselves through curating their craft and perfecting the final product.
Kenny Dumetz and Jason Mejia, the founders, are cannabis aficionados. The business name Powerzzzup is self-explanatory and quirky; it originates from that moment cannabis may knock you out into a deep sleep, hence the “zzz.”

It All Started with a Bit of Flower
Kenny was first introduced to the euphoric sleeping power of weed in California when a nice lesbian couple in the neighborhood shared a bit of flower with him. It sparked a passion for weed. Then, his cousin threw a party and that’s where he met his future business partner, Jason.
“I would always get fire weed from his cousin. His cousin just had the best strains, the best weed around,” Jason told L.A. Weekly in an interview.
“Yes, because he got it from me,” Kevin replied, tongue-in-cheek.
Jason’s interest was more scientific, and he researched the cannabis industry extensively, educating himself on legislation, processes, and breeding. He began making his own strain mixes.
“So then when I decided to start messing around, I had just stocked up hella bag seeds. I didn’t have any Durban but mostly Pie and Cookies bag seed. And when I started growing, I started off in a small situation that was one light. Just to try and feed the habit, right? That just turned into two lights and just got addictive.”
Through this kind of experimentation, he created strains like Snowman.

Science Drives Powerzzzup’s Success
Others have noticed the unique greatness these masters of genetics bring to the table. Powerzzzup partnered with Cookies and Culta in Maryland. Now, strains like Snowman are enjoyed from California to Maryland.
While the company may be small, its owners offer a bright and tasteful future for all levels of cannabis users. In addition, their collaboration with other labs and companies is expanding their future potential and the availability of their exotic strains. The research and development of Powerzzzup are key, as it is what keeps this company at the edge of innovation.
The Duality of their Skills Creates a Complex and Interesting Partnership
With Kenny’s knowledge of the streets combined with Jason’s sharp mind and research abilities, this company has risen to the challenge of what it means to be a grower in the 21st century.
Even in California’s competitive cannabis market, Kenny and Jason have risen to the top of growers and companies to watch. Their attention to detail is reflected in the high-quality product they continue to produce.
