Economists once speculated that with the growth of technology, humans would have more time on our hands, and with it we’d expand into leisure activities. In fact, the opposite has happened: we’re working now more than ever. It’s hardly surprising: work gives us activities, meaning, purpose and community. But what if there’s more to life? Many feel the urge to take a step back, but it’s easier said than done. So how can we slow down while keeping up? This discussion draws insight from neuroscience, mindfulness and more to offer some answers.

Nina Fern: “The Highly”-Intellectual Cannabis Periodical

Warren Bobrow , CONTRIBUTOR Opinions expressed by Forbes Contributors are their own.

The face of the modern cannabis entrepreneur, Nina Fern

Nina doesn’t want to dwell on the past, nor does she relish the thought of doing anything else but what she’s doing right now. And that would be raising her daughters and establishing her future in print. Well, not really in print, not just yet- but in the virtual space, and what a beautiful space it is! The periodical is called the Highly and it’s a guide to the ‘good, good’… Not just the swag or the ‘so-called’ kind. But the very best. The top of the house. Where you go to find that everything is green and submarine. Well, to paraphrase Pink Floyd is heading in the right direction. At least chronologically anyhow. You see, Nina has a formal finance background and a not-so-formal now. She lives in the now, not the former Nina, the one that she glosses over, the international business star, mom, business-woman, living viscerally while all others sleep. No one is complaining. It brought her here- but that’s about all she wants you to know about the past. The present is what she is proud of and it’s named the Highly. What Nina does is write about processes, people, places, products and emotions- all that are intrinsic, pure and deeply authentic. They involve the finest medical cannabis that money can buy- that is for certain, but they also serve as a metaphor for fabulous health, good living and overall wellness. The wealthy with high-end tastes are aging like all of us- and their individual methods for alleviating ills can be quite revealing. The Highly is the guide to that form of medicating. By our own hand and in the direction that we see fit, using the best ingredients that money can buy. Because, Health is Wealth. And what Nina has founded is a form of brilliance that only comes through utter determination, passion and an entrepreneurial spirit.

MEET WARREN BOBROW, THE EX-BANKER TURNED CANNABIS COCKTAIL KING

Photo By Warren Bobrow

You’d be hard pressed to find an authority figure when it comes to cannabis cocktails. But Warren Bobrow, the author of Cannabis Cocktails, Mocktails and Tonics, doesn’t think that’s because the combination is a bad idea. He should know — he literally wrote the book on the subject. He’s a strong believer in a good cannabis cocktail. It’s just that everyone else (other than a few brave bar owners) is too scared to tackle the subject.

“I don’t think anyone has had the nerve to do it, nor have they found a publisher to take that type of risk,” Bobrow tells me over the phone, chuckling. “This is not a big lucrative project. I wish it was, but there’s so much preconceived stuff about it.”

The Romantic Taste of Amaro

My first experience with the romantic taste of Amaro came in Rome, when I was traveling in Italy with my parents. They would pull my sister and me out of school for a month or more at a time to see many of the European countries. My parents liked the best things that life had to offer — and rather than stick us on an impersonal tour bus, they would immerse us in local food, wine and museums.

Marijuasana: Five Questions with Stacey Mulvey

Marijuasana Found Stacey Mulvey: Stacey Mulvey loves teaching movement, viewing it as a spectrum of energy–from yin to yang and everything in between. Growing up in Salt Lake City, Utah, Mulvey left the Mormon church at 21 in protest over its discrimination towards the LGBTQIA+ community, women, and minorities. Overweight and unhappy, she began practicing and teaching mindful movement in Callanetics after having an epiphany about mortality and taking control of her own quality of life. Eventually, Mulvey discovered that cannabis helps her concentrate and enhances her motivation. Upon moving to Colorado, she began teaching pole dancing at Boulder Spirals while training directly under second-generation Pilates instructors and founders of the internationally renowned Pilates Center of Boulder, the world’s foremost teacher training school for classical Pilates instructors. Mulvey continued her studies at Naropa University in yoga, painting, and psychology. After completing her coursework honing her skills in mindful and meditative practices, Mulvey launched Marijuasana where she now travels the U.S. and internationally teaching all-inclusive classes fusing the wonders of cannabis with yoga, flow, and mindfulness meditation. http://www.marijuasana.com

Warren Bobrow’s Recipe for Nur’ó’c Mía, an Iced Cannabis Infused Vietnamese Sugarcane Juice

In an interview with High Times Magazine, author and mixologist Warren Bobrow said his favorite infused beverage featured in his book, Cannabis Cocktails, Mocktails & Tonics: The Art of Spirited Drinks & Buzz-Worthy Libations, is the Nur’ó’c Mía:

“My favorite one is the Vietnamese specialty, Nur’ó’c Mía—Iced, Medicated Vietnamese Sugarcane Juice. The MagicalButter Machine comes in handy for the cannabis-infused condensed milk. Plus, the high fat of the condensed milk infuses like a dream. And, I use coconut water ice in the mix, so when the ice starts to melt, the complexity and flavor balance of the cocktail courses through your body with glee. It’s refreshing and lovely but never drink more than one per hour. They creep up on you quickly. Add an ounce or two of non-caramel colored rum when using a more sedative strain for a trip down the lazy river.”

One Strong Drink With “Cannabis Cocktails” Author Warren Bobrow

The Mezzrole, a Manhattan-style cocktail made with cannabis-infused vermouth, is one of 75 recipes contained in Warren Bobrow’s new book, Cannabis Cocktails. (Photo: Glenn Scott Photography.)

“What’s in the bottle is not what’s on the label,” says Warren Bobrow, handing me a small apothecary jar of amber-colored fluid. Inside is a top-shelf rum, he says, infused with high-grade marijuana — specifically, a strong indica-dominant hybrid known as Granddaddy Purple.
