Left Coast

Left Coast carries the discipline of military service into cannabis cultivation and production. Founded by a disabled veteran, the brand combines California growing expertise with a vertically integrated model now expanding to New York.

The Left Coast Story

Coltin Barody, a disabled veteran originally from Fort Edward, New York, co-founded Left Coast in 2014 in Oceanside, California with Alexandria Kometas. Barody brought the structure and precision he learned in the military to cannabis operations, building a company that controls every step from cultivation through retail-ready packaging.

Left Coast established itself in California’s competitive market through consistent indoor flower quality and proprietary vape technology. Their patented pod vape system set them apart in the hardware space, offering a closed-loop system designed for flavor accuracy and leak prevention. As the brand grew, Barody never lost sight of his East Coast roots.

Now Left Coast is making the move to New York, with an 11,000-square-foot facility in Wilton positioning them for full-scale production in the state. It’s a homecoming of sorts for Barody, bringing California-honed craft back to where he started. Learn more at leftcoastextracts.info.

What Makes Left Coast Different

Veteran-Owned and Operated

Coltin Barody’s military background isn’t just biographical detail — it shapes the company’s operational culture. The attention to process, quality control, and accountability that runs through Left Coast comes directly from that discipline.

Patented Pod Vape System

Left Coast developed and patented their own pod vape hardware rather than relying on third-party manufacturers. The closed system is built to preserve terpene profiles and eliminate the leaking and clogging issues common with generic cartridge hardware.

Vertical Integration Coast to Coast

From indoor cultivation through extraction, manufacturing, and packaging, Left Coast keeps production in-house. Their new Wilton, New York facility extends that model to the East Coast, ensuring the same quality standards in both markets.
