At a glance
Holy Water is an Oakland-linked California cannabis-extract brand known for live resin and rosin vapes, split-jar concentrates and infused pre-rolls. Its church-inspired creative system is intentionally satirical, but its strongest credentials are concrete: licensed-operator records, retail distribution and major 2024–2025 competition results.
Founders and identity
GreenState identifies Mike Yanovsky as a Holy Water co-founder and quotes him describing the brand as an attempt to bring humor back to cannabis. Public licensing aggregations also connect Holy Water Extracts to Kenabisa LLC and owners Monish Patel and Sudheer Chikkere. Those roles are distinct; ownership records do not prove that every listed owner founded the consumer brand.
Oakland operating context
California’s Real CA Cannabis database tied Holy Water Extracts to Kenabisa LLC and microbusiness license C12-0000346-LIC, which its current page shows as expired. Separate 2026 California environmental records document approval activity for a Kenabisa microbusiness at 7700 Edgewater Drive in Oakland. Buyers should verify the license printed on current packages rather than assuming the earlier number still controls.
Current product range
Current licensed-retailer menus show one-gram all-in-one vapes, 510 cartridges, solvent and solventless concentrates, cold-cure rosin split jars and infused pre-rolls. Weedmaps also lists multi-pack infused joints and collaborative drops. Menus change quickly, so individual flavor names and potency values belong to the specific batch, not the permanent brand profile.
Extraction formats
Holy Water spans hydrocarbon live resin and solventless rosin rather than treating them as one category. Kenabisa describes its rosin process as ice-water extraction followed by freeze-drying and pressing, without chemical solvents. Live resin uses a different extraction route. Split jars can pair two half-gram expressions or consistencies in one package.
Design and hardware
The brand’s newer all-in-one devices use stained-glass graphics, customized LED displays and bible-shaped packaging under a “weed is our religion” joke. GreenState reported planned modes including terp, dab and turbo settings. Hardware features should be checked against the exact generation because planned functions and released functions are not automatically the same.
2025 Golden Bear
Holy Water and Casa Flor won the 2025 California State Fair Golden Bear for cartridges with the Agua Fresca live-resin disposable. The same product earned a gold medal in the live-resin, no-terpenes-added cartridge category. This is an organizer-documented product award, not a general claim that every Holy Water vape is award-winning.
Other competition results
The 2025 California Cannabis Awards also gave Holy Water’s Lemon Zerbert infused pre-roll a silver medal. At the 2021 High Times NorCal People’s Choice event, a HolyWater collaboration won first place in non-solvent concentrates. Collaborator names matter because these awards recognize specific farms, processors and products.
Availability and media
Holy Water appears on licensed California retailer menus across vapes, pre-rolls and concentrates, and has participated in events such as San Francisco Hash Week. The brand’s prior standalone domain no longer resolves, so this profile relies on regulators, operators, competition records and licensed menus rather than an unverified replacement storefront.
What to verify. Confirm the legal manufacturer or distributor, license number, batch, ingredients and COA on the package. Do not infer current licensure from an old Holy Water Extracts record or buy from an ecommerce site that claims nationwide marijuana shipping. California products should be purchased through licensed California retailers.
