The Legend of the Shellback: Why Fridays at Tri-Healthy Bloom with Meaning

The Legend of the Shellback: Why Fridays at Tri-Healthy Bloom with Meaning

The Shellback at Tri-healthy

June 6 isn’t just another Friday—it’s Flower Friday at Tri-Healthy. But this one hits a little different. Not only is it the weekly 20% off celebration of cannabis culture, it also marks a deeper legacy—a sea-soaked tradition that shaped the man behind it all: Paul, The Shellback.

Let’s roll it back. Way back. To the Equator.

What is a Shellback, Anyway?

In naval lore, a Shellback is a sailor who has crossed the Equator—a rite of passage rooted in saltwater ceremony and sailor superstition. But Paul didn’t just cross the Equator. He did it at the International Date Line, earning him the ultra-rare, highly-respected title of Golden Shellback.

The Golden Shellback

Picture it: a line-crossing ceremony aboard a U.S. Navy vessel, Neptune’s court presiding over the transformation of lowly “Pollywogs” into full-fledged Shellbacks. It’s messy, bizarre, and full of laughter and bonding. And for Paul, it was a moment that stuck with him—enough to shape his personal brand, GBack Media (Golden Shellback Media), and his nickname ever since.

From Sea Legs to Smoky Buds

Paul took that experience—the camaraderie, the ceremony, the sense of initiation—and brought it to Tri-Healthy. That’s why every Friday is Flower Friday. It’s a little weekly ceremony of its own. A ritual, if you will. And instead of swabbing decks, we’re rolling joints and lighting up flower.

This week, Flower Friday falls on June 6, and we’re kicking things up with:
