Gas No Brakes is finally here!
In the world of cannabis, you can usually spot the difference between a brand with a good marketing team and a brand with a soul. Some are built around packaging. Others are built around a story. Gas No Brakes (GNB) was built around the plant, from the dirt up. Rooted in decades of cultivation, genetics, and the grit of the Los Angeles legacy market.
We are thrilled to announce that the latest Crysp collaboration brings the uncompromising spirit of Gas No Brakes directly to our menu. This isn’t just another brand, this is a deep dive into the family tree of modern California cannabis.
The Damirjian Dynasty
Gas No Brakes was born from the vision of Aram Damirjian, a name inextricably linked to one of the most influential families in the state’s cannabis history. Alongside his brothers Shant “Fidel” and Serge, the Damirjian’s represent a lineage that stretches from underground grow houses to the global stage.
Their story is the stuff of California legend. Raised in L.A. as sons of Armenian immigrants from Lebanon, the brothers were students of the plant long before it was an industry. Serge’s obsession with cultivation began in his teens, leading to the opening of a dispensary in 2006. But their path wasn’t without its trials. After raids in 2009, Aram served three years in prison, while Serge received probation.
Yet, they kept growing. And when California went legal, their expertise found a massive new platform.
Genetics That Defined an Era
Serge Damirjian eventually became an original force behind Cookies Maywood. It was here that his deep knowledge of pheno-hunting helped birth strains that would become household names. According to industry insiders and Sensi Seeds, Serge is credited with introducing cultivars like Cereal Milk, Gary Payton, and London Pound Cake 75 to the world.
This history is the backbone of the GNB × Crysp drop. We aren’t just slapping a name on a jar; we are reaching directly into that genetic vault.
Look at the menu, and you’ll see the family tree:
- Zereal Milk: A modern remix featuring Cereal Milk × Zkittlez. It honors the past while pushing into new flavor territory.
- Grape Payton: Pairing the legendary Gary Payton with Grape Cream for a heavy-hitting, flavorful twist.
The Gas No Brakes Philosophy
While Serge returned to obsessive breeding (eventually collaborating with Dutch seed bank giants Sensi Seeds), Aram launched Gas No Brakes to build something distinctly his own. The name fits perfectly. GNB represents the unfiltered, no-nonsense side of the family story: strong genetics, distinctive flower, and a brand that respects the culture that existed before cannabis became a mainstream commodity.
Their philosophy is simple: Find exceptional genetics. Grow them properly. Let the plant do the talking.

More Than Just a Collaboration
The collaborations we care about at Crysp are the ones that bring genuine history and perspective into our ecosystem. Gas No Brakes checks those boxes. The Damirjians have moved through every era of California cannabis from the legacy market and early medical dispensaries, now to international breeding projects.
When Serge describes the garden as his “happy place” after two decades of working directly with the plant, it helps explain why their brand resonates with people who pay attention to genetics rather than just THC percentages and hype.
Gas No Brakes × Crysp is our opportunity to put that history into the jar.
Flower. Cold cure. Rosin vapes.
