Creative cannabis people intrigue me. Who is satisfied with just sitting behind a desk all day, hacking out metrics, even if it is in the cannabis business? Sure there are jobs for these types of people but let me be the first to tell you that my kind of entrepreneurs in the cannabis space don’t have the patience to sit around and let the world come to them from behind a computer. Far from. What they do is seize the day, create something new, inspire others. Creativity and cannabis really do go hand in hand. Bryant Bowens seeks to open your mind, one carefully sourced cannabis-friendly product at a time. I’m proud to have been able to share my thoughts on his Murano Tips for rolling cannabis joints, even though I’m still unable to roll a joint myself. It’s really quite embarrassing to not be able to use the tips that the Murano folks sent my way. My apologies. But getting back to Bryant. There are many inspired folks who come my way. Bryant Bowens is certainly enlightened. Thank you for this opportunity to share his story with you, my readers. Cheers! WB

High Herstory 
TRAVIS EMERY HACKETT

Of all the recent stories that I’ve worked on, none are as compelling on a personal level as High Herstory. Certainly I’ve written about some intriguing folks, but as a film major from college, High Herstory resonated with me- more than most. It’s because High Herstory is a unique, documentary based Cinéma vérité-style of filmmaking that focuses on the current/now. High Herstory tells stories that have not been told, at least not yet.

wb: I keep hoping that legal cannabis delivery services will come to New Jersey. Even legal cannabis. Why? Because of competition. It would help bring the high prices for cannabis down to earth. Right now the use of delivery services for cannabis is illegal within our state. Sure you can get street weed delivered to you, but that’s frowned upon, so don’t do it!

Uplift Maryland is a platform where it strives to increase diversity and inclusion within the emerging medical cannabis industry, ensuring that all communities, especially those of color, have an opportunity to participate in the economy of the future. CEO of Uplift Maryland, Kevin Ford, grew up in a medical family, and throughout studying Business and Marketing college, he took a keen interest in the medical markets in California and Colorado. After moving home to Prince George’s County, he watched the start of the medical cannabis industry in D.C., in hopes that he’d have an opportunity to mix his entrepreneurial spirit with cannabis in a legal, medical market in Maryland. Once the opportunity presented itself, Kevin saw a void in the market for a trusted source of information for navigating all segments of the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission. At this point, he created Uplift Maryland. His passion stems from wanting to take what the generation before him has created and elevate it to the next level. Kevin has been able to take something that was once illegal and incarcerated many Black men before him and turn it into a positive by providing an education of opportunity, especially to those who have been marginalized by oppressive and unjust drug policies.

I love the premise of the Daily High Club. That is to say there is nothing like it on the East Coast that is anything like what Harrison Baum has achieved from virtually nothing. Seven hundred dollars is what it took to start a company that has far exceeded everyone’s expectations. Mine included. A wonderful and enlightening surprise that made my day. Success in small ways. The iChing teaches this. Listen to your passion and follow it, as Harrison has done so well. Thank you Harrison for teaching me this lesson.

I’m the lucky man to have been able to sample the fine cannabis composites rolled by the ultra-high net worth quality, cannabis joint roller, CaliGreenGold. These tasty treats make me think of the first time that I rolled some Middle Eastern hashish into a joint comprised of the finest (available) flowers of the day. Every year after this first time that I made my own composite joint I’d travel out West, seeking a pre roll that really got me lit up! Enter CaliGreenGold and their adventures in composite cannabis-land. These young people really get it! Now without further adieu may I please share with you a very intriguing gentleman who dreams in flavor and quality.

If asked which joint captures my attention the most over all others, I would have to say the moment I discovered Space Coyote felt like the proverbial “coming home.” There are many pre-rolls on the market that I’ve tasted and written about, and all of them are worthy contenders for the best.
