You may find this post redundant to one I posted last week... Good. Cannabis legalization without criminal record restoration is how minorities will be left out of experiencing the benefits of the industry. Marijuana offenses can stay on records up to 30 years, preventing finding jobs, voting, even getting a loan or credit card. For …
Legalization Is More Than Legalization
Representing the underrepresented is necessary in every industry, and aspect of life. With discrimination against people of color, women, Muslims, LGBTQ, even veterans and elders, advocacy for legalization of cannabis must not end at simply being able to buy and smoke marijuana legally. As a Black woman exploring the industry with no company or major …
Without Flower, There Is No Industry
We ALL are clear on the fact that cannabis is a plant, right? It grows from a seed with various mediums including soil, water, or even clay pebbles. It can be grown inside or outside, with heights ranging from 2 feet to almost 8 feet, and that's on average! All these factor combinations determine the …

The importance of cannabis legalization on a national level seems extreme, but so necessary in today's society. Politicians have a responsibility to citizens to explore ALL possible solutions to issues that have long-standing negative impact over the people that chose them.

App Alert! Leafly Is A Great Place To Start
You use apps to find locations, dates, and even places to pee. (No joke.) Why not grab an app that elevates your knowledge about cannabis?

Happy #MedicalMonday!!
I'm typing this in the sauna at the gym, so if the words start to jumble, or just stop, I passed out. CALL 911 FOR ME. Anywhoo, just finished a pretty good workout, with a pretty good amount of THC in my system. Ok don't tell me you already forgot what THC is, I'm supposed …
Guess I Gotta Tell You About Me Now, right?
High there! So without revealing my age, I'll avoid the "back in my day" banter when it comes to how the cannabis culture used to be. But rest assured, when I started using marijuana, it was illegal EVERYWHERE and wasn't recognized in any form as medicine. But up until that point, I was 100% ANTI-marijuana. …
