So, we want to change the world, right? Yes. We do. This shit is hard no matter who you are. Add any number of layers of oppression and trauma (non-male gendered, black or brown skin, socioeconomic background, any kind of abuse, I can go on and on...) and chances are you are fed up with, well, everything. The War on Drugs actively harmed (and continues to harm) marginalized communities and people of color are still more likely to get convicted of cannabis related crimes today. TODAY: Amazon is actively supporting legalization, celebrities own cannabis brands, wealthy white male investors are actively investing hundreds of millions of dollars into more white male owned and operated business because "they see themselves" in those owners and in one state you can grow, consume and sell cannabis legally and in the state next door you can go to prison and lose your children. And then we have our oh-so-imperfect modality of Health Care. I could go on for days about how our health care system misses the whole mind, body and spirit connection and, in turn, is not helping anyone actually BE WELL. It is frustrating to have doctors completely out of touch with plant medicine and its amazing connection and relationship to us as a species. We need whole wellness to heal ourselves. The drain humanity has on our planet is going to reach critical mass in the next 50 years. The number of natural disasters is on the climb because our planet is suffering from the insatiable greed humans are known for. Climate change is real, as I write this from the soon-to-be totally on fire west coast of the US. The reality of all of this is almost laughable. Almost... But no fear, ya'll! Despite the scary truths of modern society, I am a confidently realistic optimist thanks to tools like meditation, music, community, dance, laughter and cannabis companies like TONIC. Oh my YES, TONIC! Hot damn, I love these amazing CBD products! http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/3-300x300.pnghttp://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/Toke-Biz-Buzz-1-300x300.png Our global systems need to work well for all cohabiting here and women like Brittany Carbone are leading the way with innovative, intentional, equitable and ethical brands that are shaping the future of what sustainable business looks like. TONIC is one of three woman owned and operated companies that work together to make magic. Carbone co-founded Tricolla Farms, an upstate New York based hemp farm, in conjunction with the TONIC product line in 2017, and just added Bardo Labs to their portfolio in 2020. These 3 entities collectively form a sustainable, craft, quality-and-access-driven hemp supply chain rooted in their love for the plant, the people who consume it and the earth that provides it. Brittany recalled the moment when she realized that her cannabis company could actively help change the world. "I experienced first hand not only the hypocrisy and backwards nature of doctors pushing pills over plants, but also the privilege around consuming as a middle-upper class white woman. When I found cannabis in high school it clicked. I dealt with depression pretty much my whole life and cannabis was something that finally made me feel “normal” but the misinformation and stigma around the plant caused every authority figure in my life to tell me I was wrong and I was eventually subjected to bi weekly drug testing formTHC while being prescribed Xanax. I began to abuse Xanax and came to the realization this shit was fucked up; I was much better off smoking weed than taking these pills, but that didn’t matter because the doctors were saying to take the pills. It cut me deep that this was the reality that so many people were living. Then, in college, I got arrested for smoking weed in my dorm room. Because my parents were able to pay for me to have a lawyer, take my day in court, and pay the $2750 fee to enter an expungement program that consisted of 1 year probation and 1 day of community service, I was able to have my record cleared and not carry that incident with me as I entered the workforce, etc. I realized that there were a lot of kids that, if put in that position, would not have the same outcome. I witnessed my Black friends have a much greater fear of getting caught by the cops than my white friends. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/5-1024x1024.pngTricolla Farms, upstate New York The year after I started TONIC, I was part of a panel at an event called Breaking the Grass Ceiling, put on by Humble Bloom and Maya Shaw, and that was the first time the big picture of racial inequality and oppression around the plant was truly internalized. It was through the conversations at that event that I was able to put this all together - all of these pieces of ideas and feelings that were already in me where being put together; I could see how it all fit and I could see my place in it all. A few months later I started TONIC’s Purpose Program, pledging to donate a portion of our revenue each month to a different nonprofit partner dedicated to supporting communities who need our support. We have donated over $50k since the program’s start. At Bardo, we work to lower the financial barrier to entry and offer up our resources unconditionally to BIPOC brands to help promote and nurture more representation on the ownership level and ensure that the communities most harmed by the war on drugs have equity and opportunity in the hemp/cannabis industry." Carbone's products speak for themselves. She created them for herself and her healing, and in turn are healing others. TONIC uses other beneficial plant medicines like Ashwagandha to assist in the optimal effects. These products provide targeted results to help you tune your frequency to be in harmony with nature, with yourself. TONIC truly sets the bar high for quality and effect and is a brand you can feel good supporting. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/4-1024x1024.pngRenewal Face and Body Oil Companies like Tonic CBD are showing us just how cannabis can change the world by being grounded in practices and ethos that keep people, plant, planet in mind as well as profits. Now, that is something we can get behind!

An Oregon-based business accelerator that’s designed to bolster the skills of female cannabis entrepreneurs, boost their opportunities and make their young marijuana firms “investment-ready” has kicked off. The Initiative launched its first intensive three-month program last week, focused on providing advanced business skills and expert advice to nine early-stage cannabis companies founded or co-founded by women. “The goal is to accelerate these businesses – help them get exposure and become national brands, and help grow their revenue while in the program,” said Amy Margolis, founder of Portland-based The Initiative. The program will conclude with the entrepreneurs making pitches for further funding to potential investors. […] The following is a list of the marijuana companies the first group of entrepreneurs represent, and who is being trained: Barbari: Meryl Montgomery and Valarie Cooley Hana Medicinals: Amy Risch Leif Goods: Carrie Solomon and Jody Ake Ma’at Botanicals: Delia Olsen and Luke Olsen Make and Mary: Yvonne Perez Emerson Stoned Free: Heidi Marks The Teapad: Raven Duckett Tokeativity: Samantha Montanaro and Lisa Snyder Verte Essentials: Blair Lauren Brown Read the rest of this post over at Marijuana Business Daily’s website.

In July 2020, we joined The Floret Coalition, an anti-racist collective of small businesses in the cannabis and cannabis-adjacent space supporting and funding equity-oriented actions via monthly donations and social campaigns. Together, this collective raises funds and awareness for organizations prioritizing the needs of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities. To date, The Floret Coalition’s 135+ brand members have donated over $60,000 to organizations so far. “The wisdom and expertise of Black, Latinx, and Indigenous people are foundational to cannabis culture, yet they have been and continue to be disproportionately policed and punished for their participation in and contributions to it. Melanated communities bear the deepest scars of the misguided war on drugs. We can’t undo the past, but we must work diligently to ensure a fair and equitable future.” In March 2021, the coalition donated $10,470 to Soul Fire Farm, an Afro-Indigenous centered community farm committed to uprooting racism and seeding sovereignty in the food system. Their food sovereignty programs reach over 60,000 people each year, including farmer training for Black and Brown growers, reparations and land return initiatives for northeast farmers, food justice workshops for urban youth, home gardens for city-dwellers living under food apartheid, doorstep harvest delivery for food insecure households, and systems and policy education for public decision-makers. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Equitable-Giving-Circle-Tokeativity.png This month, Tokeativity, along with other members of the Floret Coalition, are donating to Equitable Giving Circle,a community of people committed to creating peer-led, community-funded, transformational change. Their work aims to build immediate and increased equity throughout Portland’s BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) communities through a combination of fund development and network building opportunities that center economic equity. Currently, EGCs main initiative is feeding BIPOC community members with fresh weekly CSA boxes purchased from local BIPOC Farmers. If you want to become a part of The Floret Coalition’s efforts to give back to Black, Latinx, and Indigenous communities, getting in touch with Broccoli Mag. Shout out to the Floret board @mennlay, @shop_shaw, @msgoodegg for highlighting this month’s organization.

By Chiara Juster http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/4.png Tokeativity is the global cannabis feminist community, you’d be hard pressed to find a member who isn’t close friends with a cannabis consuming mama if they aren’t one themself. This story is about a Canna Mama and her partner who are in need some support – please take action below! Maria (Juanita Maria Kinsey) is a cannamama like so many of us. Maria grew up in Florida, a place as different from the PNW & Northern California as one can imagine. As a seventeen-year-old Maria had a daughter, like many kids that age the allure of her friends and their fast Florida lifestyle prevented her from being the parent her family would have preferred. Her family made the decision to raise that child, the child of a child. She was still young and turned her life around heading west to the fabled lands of Mendocino. In Mendocino she found her soulmate. Colby Standley was a generational grower, the type of guy they only make in the mountains. She was in love. He was in love. The love that people only dream of. Colby & Maria grew a beautiful life together, and beautiful flower too. Maria saw firsthand how cannabis medicinally benefits people. She watched as those suffering from cancer were provided unspeakable relief. She made the moral decision to disseminate medication to those who were suffering free of charge. Not like anyone could charge much in Mendocino, cannabis was the biggest industry in the area. While the grey market evolved Maria & Colby remained compliant with guidance from the Sheriff. She grew to appreciate the quality of all things that enter her body, fruits & greens alike. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Blog-Long-Images.png Maria suffered from secondary infertility. Colby and Maria longed for a baby, they tried and tried. Colby’s heart broke watching his wife repeatedly miscarry over eight long years as they struggled to grow their family. Though enchanted with the beauty of Mendocino Maria did not forget her family back in Florida. Her elderly grandmother required a home health aide which was incredibly expensive. She wanted to help her family. In Northern California cannabis grew like the weed it is, in less fortunate states the price of flower easily demanded five times what it did back West. An ill fated decision was made and flower diverted out of state. Maria and Colby loved their dogs, they had four dogs. Colby considered his parents his best friends, beside his wife, and left two dogs with his parents when he and Maria took an RV trip to Florida with the other two dogs and fifty pounds of Mendo flower in August 2017. While Maria was out shopping in Tallahassee, Colby was relaxing at the RV with the dogs when suddenly he was surrounded by heavily armed authorities, his first thought was for his dogs as he pleaded for them not to be shot. The dogs were hauled away to the pound and Colby to jail. When Maria went to bail him out she was taken into custody. Fortunately, Maria’s daughter from her teens was now an adult and rushed to successfully rescue the dogs. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/3.png Maria and Colby were allowed to return to California while on bail. The requirements were very restrictive including drug testing twice a week which could only be conducted 120 miles from where they lived at the cost of $240 a week. This was a huge burden both logistically and financially. They were unable to comply with the restrictions and bond was rescinded. In March of 2018 Colby turned himself in, unable to comply with the burdensome restrictions. Three weeks later Maria found out she was expecting. At last!! This excitement never dissipated though she was taken into custody a month after her husband. Maria gave birth behind bars November 27, 2018. She was shackled as she was transported from jail to the hospital. When people give birth while incarcerated their families are not informed. Maria had an amazing older brother, he and his wife, themselves doting grandparents, eagerly anticipated the birth of this child that they would lovingly welcome into their home. They knew the time had come when they didn’t hear from Maria. The absence of the daily call sent a message louder than any voice could. They waited three long days before receiving a call from the hospital that Maria had given birth and was transported back to jail, and that Rainbow (her real name shall remain anonymous per request of her guardians) was waiting for them to take her home. Maria had been lucky in a way that parents on the outside would never deem as lucky, she had a cesarean section meaning that she was able to stay with her baby for those three too short days instead of having her newborn ripped from her arms that very day. When Maria’s brother and sister-in-law arrived at the hospital they were overwhelmed with how kind everyone was, it was unanticipated and over the top. He asked why everyone was being so nice and was hit with a sad truth. Most babies weren’t as lucky as little Rainbow, having a loving family to take her in set her apart for the vast majority of babies that were born to the incarcerated and the hospital staff was filled with joy knowing that this baby was loved. It wasn’t until sentencing, in May, 2019, that Colby laid eyes upon his daughter for the first time and Maria saw her for the second time. Their attorney advised them that a sympathetic substitute judge was on the bench that day who would likely make them an offer better than they would see again, well below what the prosecutor was offering and far below the 75 years they were facing had they been convicted at trial on charges of cannabis trafficking, conspiracy to traffic, and using the RV to traffic . This Judge, true to their attorney’s words, offered Maria 6 years 3 months and 2 weeks, Colby received one less year due to his clean record. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/1-1.png Today Maria and Colby sit behind bars longing for the day that they will be reunited with one another and their little Rainbow. Maria’s first daughter as well as her brother and sister-in-law regularly bring the now toddler to visit her parents. “That’s mommy’s house,” the child cries out with glee when they approach the institution. Mommy and daddy aren’t allowed any communication given that they were co-defendants, yet their love continues to grow. Maria has taken her time behind bars to better herself as best she can. She formally studies horticulture– the food they grow is for staff not inmates. One of the things that Colby has always loved about Maria is that she isn’t vain, makeup isn’t her thing, but taking care of her body is important to her. Sunblock isn’t provided behind bars. Laboring in the Florida sun takes its toll on one’s skin. One of the things she uses her scarce commissary funds on is sunblock. As someone who appreciates sungrown food she laments what counts as food behind bars. For her recents birthday her friends made her a cake using crushed up commissary cookies mixed with creamer. A far cry from prior birthdays for the organic loving foodie who loves Thai food. As a dog lover Maria has been fortunate to participate in canine training. This gives her the opportunity to touch something warm and loving, though who she truly longs to hold is her little Rainbow. Colby was recently transferred to a community release program where he works in craft service– this doesn’t mean he gets even a morsel of extra food. As a guy who loves to cook (he admittedly loves to cook and clean!) he can’t wait for the opportunity to prepare meals for his own family. He has said that nothing is more gratifying than cooking a meal for his family and watching them enjoy it. True to the spirit of Tokeativity, Maria and her fellow inmates operate as a collective. The hygiene products provided to inmates aren’t the best for their skin and hair. There’s no shame in a little dandruff for which the inmates must spend $10.85 for a bottle of Head and Shoulders. Maria and her friends share shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and the like that they purchase at vastly inflated prices at the commissary. When there is an indigent female in their group they make sure she is included and suffers no further indginties for lack of funds. They all suffer enough as it is. When released before the winter holidays 2023 Maria will be reunited with her husband and child. Thanks to her brother there won’t be a custody battle. Most women who give birth behind bars face an uphill battle upon their release. Is it within the best interests of the child to return them to a mother in name only? Maria is the best mom that she can be while behind bars, she has always had constant communication with her daughter and is very much a part of the toddlers life. As a community we must come together and call attention to the fact that women continue to be arrested for cannabis. As mothers and daughters we have a moral obligation to ensure better conditions for those of us who are incarcerated including massive reform of the system that tears families apart and rips babies from their mothers arms. Maria will never be able to breastfeed her baby, Colby will never stay up nights changing diapers and soothing his baby, invaluable time has been lost. What we can do is let them know that they are not forgotten and help smooth the path for when they are released. Please consider supporting their Go Fund Me Incarcerated for Marijuana- Family Needs Help. Tonight when you tuck in your sweet one, or when you pass a child on the street, think of Rainbow and her parents who want nothing more than to be reunited.

The world — and specifically the innovative and inspiring state of Oregon — is in the midst of a profound psychedelic renaissance. The work of responsibly reintegrating these incredibly powerful plants, fungi, and molecules back into society is being done by thousands of people across a wide variety disciplines. Studies of psilocybin mushrooms, MDMA, ketamine, and other psychedelics have consistently shown tremendous potential for therapeutic applications. Seemingly every other week a landmark study is released, and another cover story in a major publication is printed, demonstrating how these molecules help people. In increasing numbers, people are turning to psychedelics to overcome anxiety, unresolved trauma, eating disorders, and bad habits; as well as to increase their creativity, joy, and general wellbeing. In contrast to the pharmaceuticals presently filling that role, psychedelics are organic, non-toxic, non-addictive compounds. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/inaugural-Policy-Adisory-Committee.jpeg inaugural-Policy-Adisory-Committee Lisa Snyder & Samantha Montanaro, the Co-Founders of Tokeativity, were invited to the roundtable! .fusion-button.button-1{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;} To read the full article, click HERE .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-5{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-5 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-5{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-5 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-5{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-5 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}} .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-4{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;} The post THE OREGON WAY: “Oregon – The Global Center for Psychedelic Therapy” by Nathan Howard appeared first on Tokeativity®.

 Utokia Farms has taken creativity and cannabis to a whole new level and the Adventure Quest has just begun! Founded in 2016, Utokia is a woman-owned 2nd generation family farm just outside of Canby, OR. Combining their love for gaming and expertise of growing, Utokia produces consistent, high quality craft cannabis that is cultivated with precision and paired with creative art. Earlier this year Utokia released their already famed Adventure Preroll Pack that features not only the highest quality, premium cannabis prerolls but also collectible trading cards designed by local artists that correlate to their unique cannabis strains. They even come in an adventure-ready tin that you will want to keep and repurpose! Buy the joint packs, collect the cards, and get the chance to win dope swag and special prizes! “The Utokia Adventure Quests are just like a classic quest you might find in a video game, like World of Warcraft or your favorite RPG (role playing games for those non-gamers out there).” Crazy Cat Lady is Utokia’s latest dank strain and there is a new challenge to go with it that supports the Cat Adoption Team. Grab your lighters, and prepare for your next quest: The Crazy Cat Lady has lost her cats! Collect the 3 minion cat cards either through finding them in the Adventure Packs, or buy them directly from their website (a portion of the proceeds go to the Cat Adoption Team)! Utokia is setting a high bar for craft cannabis everywhere with their highly intentional micro-tiered farm. Founder, Holly Hillyer, shares her thoughts on what it means to her to be a small batch farm. “I think it’s important that people understand what small batch really means. A lot of companies market themselves as “small batch” when they are simply mass producing cannabis in a whole bunch of “small”ish rooms. Small batch to us really means that you are giving the plant the time and attention it needs to bring it to its full potential, it goes way beyond just the quantities per strain you are growing in each room. It’s extremely labor intensive to create high quality cannabis. There is a lot that’s involved throughout the growing, drying, trimming, and curing process that can make a substantial difference in how it turns out.” http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/2.png http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/3.png Pre-Rolls tend to get a bad reputation due to companies using B & C grade quality; like year-old material, shake, and even stems and seed that can taste harsh and give an uneven burn. At Utokia, they only use fresh ground nugs that have been grown in small batches, indoors with no pesticides, gently handled throughout, and slow-cured for a smooth and enjoyable experience. Their prerolls feature ultra-thin French rolling paper that is FSC Certified, meaning it is environmentally friendly. Specifically chosen to allow you to easily see the flower inside with a smooth, tasteless burn so you can enjoy the taste of the flower, not the paper. So gather your friends, pack your supplies, and get ready to venture out on your next quest with Utokia Farm’s Crazy Cat Lady Adventure Quest. Utokia Adventure Packs are available at dispensaries across Oregon, now featuring their newest strain Crazy Cat Lady – a potent cultivar which is certain to fuel your next adventure be it a hike through Powell Butte or a trek up Mt Hood; these prerolls will keep you inspired and ready to go with plenty of room for fun along the way! Collect the limited edition Cat Cards now for your chance to add a special holographic card to your growing Utokia deck!

LETTER TEMPLATE DATE Honorable Scott Wiener State Capitol, Room 5100 Sacramento, CA 95818 Submitted via webportal: https://calegislation.lc.ca.gov/Advocates/ RE: Support for SB 519 (Wiener) re: decriminalizing possession and use of psychedelic substances Dear Senator Wiener, I am writing in strong support of SB 519 by Senator Scott Wiener, to decriminalize the possession and personal use of the following substances: psilocybin, psilocyn, MDMA, LSD, ketamine, DMT, mescaline (from non-peyote sources) and ibogaine as an incremental step to dismantle failed War on Drugs policies. This legislation will also expunge any criminal records for people convicted of possession and personal use of these substances. In light of ongoing clinical trials and research, and their use by many communities for their healing properties, SB 519 will also establish a working group that will provide recommendations to the Legislature on how we can thoughtfully and allow for personal and therapeutic use of these substances in a manner that maximizes public health, safety and healing. [Anything you want to add about you and your interest in this policy] The stigma behind psychedelic substances often overshadows its legitimate medicial value and promise. In the 1960s, researchers were conducting promising studies on the effectiveness of psychedelic substances to treat ailments such as depression and PTSD, until the War on Drugs halted this work. Modern research clearly demonstrates that these psychedelic substances can be a tool for healing and have a promising future for mental health treatment. Beyond halting this promising research, the War on Drugs also enacted the policy of criminalizing people for the possession or personal use of controlled substances. Today, we know this is a failed policy approach as it does not improve public safety, deter personal use, or help people may be experiencing substance use disorder. It is time that California stop criminalizing people that possess and use substances that have immense medicinal potential and look towards how California should thoughtfully regulate legal use to these substances. SB 519 is an incremental measure that relies on a more modern understanding of these substances, and provides space for California to start a more sensible conversation about how we really ought to treat people who are using psychedelic substances for their own personal and medical purposes. Our organization lends our voice to the broad coalition calling and specifically ask for your support for SB 519 by Senator Wiener.

.fusion-gallery-1 .fusion-gallery-image {border:0px solid #f6f6f6;} The governor of Texas recently passed a heinous abortion bill that effectively bans abortions at SIX WEEKS — a timeline where many women may not even know they are pregnant yet.⁠ ⁠ Activists have vowed to fight this new law that is being said to be the strictest since the Roe V Wade decision…but in the meantime, women need help getting safe access to reproductive health care. We’ve teamed up with the Women’s Reproductive Rights Assistance Project (WRRAP) to help spread the word and get donations coming in. WRRAP is a non-partisan, non-profit organization helping women gain access to safe, legal abortion services and emergency contraceptives that works directly with pre-qualified, reputable reproductive health clinics across the U.S. on behalf of disadvantaged women in need and gets them the funds within a week. “As the largest and only independent national abortion fund supporting folks in all 50 states, we hear every single day about the impact of state bans, and Texas is by far the most alarming. As more and more people will now be forced to leave their communities and get care at clinics in other states, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting folks who need abortions and the providers that are able to see them, no matter where folks seek care. Abortion care can’t wait and WRRAP is ready to help.” Sylvia Ghazarian, Executive Director/WRRAP Please consider supporting WRRAP today .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {padding-top : 0px !important;padding-right : 0px !important;margin-right : 1.92%;padding-bottom : 0px !important;padding-left : 0px !important;margin-left : 1.92%;}@media only screen and (max-width:1024px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;}.fusion-builder-column-0 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}} .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-1{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;} The post What Do Abortion and Cannabis Have in Common? appeared first on Tokeativity®.

For folks those of us living in Missouri, the November 2018 election will always mark a historical event. It was then that Article XIV of Missouri was amended to allow patients of the state of Missouri access medical Cannabis. By early spring of 2019, the MOCANN BIZCON Expo by Midwest Canna Expos, was held at Union Station in St. Louis, MO. This first of its kind convention and expo provided future patients and industry hopefuls the opportunity to connect with vendors as well as gain firsthand information on the emerging industry. Flash forward to 2021 when a fellow Tokeativity member, Leah Maurer, introduced me to Karin Chester-Spinks. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Tokeativity-Midwest-Canna-Expos-Karin-Chester-Spinks.pngKarin Chester-Spinks I found out that Karin was the woman behind Missouri’s first ever Cannabis Convention and Expo. I jumped at the opportunity to meet this woman that put on one of the most impactful and empowering events I’d ever had the opportunity to attend. We scheduled a 30-minute meet and greet; but two and a half hours later, I realized I had only scratched the surface on the impact Karin is having on the Missouri Medical Cannabis Industry. Karin played an integral role in the 2016 medical cannabis initiative in Missouri but was 200 signatures shy of getting the measure on the ballot. In 2018 Karin became the campaign coordinator for the ballot initiative that ultimately passed, allowing for medical cannabis to become legal in Missouri. It was during this time that Karin mastered the art of event planning and once Article XIV passed, it was a no-brainer that Karin needed to plan an event. I asked Karin what 5 things she was most excited about for this year’s upcoming expo on August 11 & 12, 2021: This year’s expo will be a hybrid event; held in person and virtually. Missouri Medical Patients will have the opportunity to attend the virtual patient track for free. We’re also pleased to announce the new addition of our industry career fair on August 12th. Network with potential employers, learn about the most prominent cannabis companies, and interact with others excited about this rapidly developing industry. This year attendees will receive demonstrations from Chef/ Chocolatier Christopher Elbow from The Funny Bone Chocolate out of Kansas City, MO. A career fair will be held at this year’s expo for a $25 fee. This includes a resume editing and distributing service at no additional cost! For the second year in a row, MOCANN BIZCON will hold the Greenway Industry Awards at the end of night one of the trade show. The Greenway Industry Awards recognizes those nominated and voted on by Greenway Magazine readers as being Leaders in Industry and Advocacy. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Tokeativity-MOCANN.png http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Tokeativity-MOCANN-2.pnghttp://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/Tokeativity-MOCANN-3.png In wrapping up our talk Karin shared that one of her favorite things about what she does is “being able to employ people”, and shared upcoming career opportunities within her organization. “We’re looking for Brand Ambassadors”….“I’m excited about Midwest Canna Demos. Missouri Canna Demos will be hosting pop up events at licensed facilities throughout the state.” Anyone interested in learning more about the position can go to: https://midwestcannademos.com/services For more information on MOCANN BIZCON Convention and Expo, Midwest Canna Expos, and Midwest Canna Demos, go to: https://mocannbizcon.com https://www.midwestcannaexpos.com https://www.facebook.com/MidwestCannaDemos https://www.instagram.com/midwestcannademos #MOCANNBIZCONN #MISSOURICANNABIS The post Top 5 Most Exciting Things to Look Forward to at the Missouri Cannabis Business Conference (MOCANN BIZCON) this August appeared first on Tokeativity®.
