Hello hello y’all!

🍃 Would a Mobile Budtending Service be Useful/Welcomed?

This week I asked my communities: Would a Mobile Budtending Service be Useful/Welcomed? Unsurprisingly the answer was yes, but what was surprising to me at least is there are already variations of this business model out there operating today.

I would love to start seeing more of these pop up at weddings, events, and more. It’s high time we free this plant already.

Lastly, I am conducting a little survey/research into people’s experiences with these beverages. If you have 2-4 minutes to complete this survey I would greatly appreciate it!

In case you missed it, I just launched a new podcast with David Gonzalez and the first episode was released on Monday!

Featured Story - The “Gateway Drug” Myth: It’s Time to Deschedule Weed

We’ve been told for decades that marijuana is a ‘gateway drug,’ but the data tells a very different story. As cannabis becomes legal in more states, alcohol consumption is dropping, and hard drug use remains unchanged. It’s time to rethink the outdated stigma and take the next logical step: descheduling this plant at the federal level.
