.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®.

I used to be a Wine Mom… Until I Replaced Wine with Drinkable CBD

I used to be a Wine Mom… Until I Replaced Wine with Drinkable CBD By Samantha Montanaro http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2-2-1024x1024.png If you are anything like me you have been drinking alcohol more often during the pandemic. I know many of you are like me, in fact, because numerous studies have shown that middle aged women have had the most dramatic increase in alcohol consumption during pandemic times in comparison to any other demographic. We know why – this shit is stressful! Life was already stressful for parents who are juggling kids, careers, homes, friends and everything else. Add uncertain pandemic times to that mix and we are all one mishap away from a total breakdown. My (conservative, non cannabis consuming) neighbor told me the other day that she was cracking a bottle of wine at noon nearly everyday simply to deal with parenting two kids under the age of 7, schooling and working from home all at the same time. She also spoke to how crappy and stressed she feels and how it is not helping anything…. but she is desperate for relief every single day. Drinking is so ingrained in the fabric of our society, it is hard to imagine our lives without it. It was my pure pleasure to give her a couple bottles of my not-so-secret weapon to productivity, health, relaxation, joy and sanity: Danodan, a USDA Certified Organic, water soluble CBD elixir and ZV Botanicals CBD Bitters (organic, 100% woman owned) to add to any drink of her choice. Have your cake and eat it too, sister friend! Refreshing, relaxing cocktails without hangover, inflammation and all of the other negative side effects of alcohol. Pinch me! http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/3-1-300x300.png I love drinking delicious things and I know so many other people who do too! I am so incredibly stoked about CBD cocktails for this reason! I don’t have to stop drinking altogether – I am just changing what it is that I am drinking. Here is my go-to recipe for a CBD cocktail that has endless possibilities: http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/4-1-1024x1024.png I AM OBSESSED WITH THESE COCKTAILS! And my body, mind and spirit are thanking me for it! Cannabis asks us to take our healing into our own hands. Cannabis asks us to listen deeper to what our body and spirit is telling us. Cannabis is gentle and loving to our bodies and that is something that any mom can get behind! No payment was exchanged for this promotion, ya’ll. I really just love these products that much. They are changing my life and I am excited to watch companies like ZV Botanicals and Danodan innovate consumption for future generations!

Cannabis Company, LOWD, is changing the world. Smoke like a grower. Be what you want to see.

http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/LOWD-TOUR-KIA-JESCE-SAM-768x1024.jpgTokeativity visits LOWD. (Left to Right: Nickia Delaware, Jesce Horton, Samantha Montanaro) From the moment Kia & I walked into the infamous LOWD Cannabis indoor cultivation facility I knew it had some kind of special magic that most facilities don’t. That magic is from visionary, social justice warrior and cannabis cultivation expert, Jesce Horton. I first met Jesce Horton, co founder and CEO of LOWD Cannabis, nearly 8 years ago in Portland, Oregon just as adult use cannabis was being legalized. He spoke at an Oregon Cannabis Industry Meet Up event that I hosted at Prism House PDX and his powerful story captured the hearts and minds of everyone in the room. He told his personal story that included a strict father who spent time in prison for a small amount of cannabis. His parents tried everything they could to encourage Jesce to stay away from cannabis so he would not fall into the same cycle of incarceration and lack of opportunity. The plant and Jesce had other plans. Big plans. Jesce’s journey as a cannabis consumer began at the age of 15. Despite his parent’s attempts to discourage a relationship with weed, the plant connected with Jesce deeply and forever impacted his life. His dad’s worst fears came true when Jesce was arrested for cannabis possession at the age of 18. He went on to have multiple more arrests and witnessed, first hand, how the failed war on drugs deeply harms people and communities. Jesce is brilliant, motivated, passionate and he cares so much about changing the world view and policies on cannabis. He is still grounded in the same ethos and principles he was when I met him so many years ago – innovation in design, sustainability, precise environment control for high quality results and team building from a foundation of equity, community and culture. This is a recipe for success and we love what they are cooking up over at LOWD! http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/LOWD-GROWROOM-1024x768.jpegLOWD: Love Our Weed Daily. (Photo: Nickia Delaware) http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/LOWD-OPERATIONS-MGR-ALEXANDRA-225x300.jpgLOWD Community Manager, Alexandra Burns (Photo: Nickia Delaware) LOWD, which stands for Love Our Weed Daily, sticks out in a crowded Oregon market by honing in on small batch and craft ethos, using highly sought after genetics and a precise growing process that produces the very best cannabis on the market. Their dialed in flow and unmatched quality product speaks to the vast experience that the diverse team at LOWD brings to the table http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/LOWD-GROWER-225x300.jpegLOWD’S Plant Daddy nurturing the babies. (Photo: Nickia Delaware) LOWD’s tag line, “smoke like a grower”, speaks to the level of care they put into every product. Growers are known for consuming the very best of the best and at LOWD they want everyday consumers to have access to ethical, high quality cannabis. Jesce is also the Co-Founder of the Minority Cannabis Business Association and has tirelessly advocated for building an equitable and responsible cannabis industry through sensible policy. The MCBA works directly with local representatives to support fair implementation and enforcement of sensible cannabis policies and provides resources for governments and citizens to design and advocate for better policies. “Today’s cannabis market needs innovation and authenticity — a lack of cultural diversity, the abandonment of legacy growers, and alienation of its pioneers threaten the culture.” – Jesce Horton, co founder and CEO of LOWD Education is a huge part of creating opportunities for folks in cannabis and Jesce is developing curriculum and instructing at the first college in New York to have a cannabis major, LIM College! He is doing similar work at HBCU Medgar Evers College, as well. People have been cultivating cannabis for over 12,000 years and in just the last 100 years so much of the ancestral knowledge has been erased in the war on drugs. LOWD is passionate about honoring the past and innovating a future that is inclusive, equitable and founded in quality. We are inspired by Jesce and the team at LOWD because they are truly walking the talk of being a part of positive change. They are an incredible example of what is possible and what we can see as cannabis continues to be legalized. Bonus: their weed is seriously FIRE. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/LOWD_Sludge_Studios_0042-200x300.jpgLOWD BlūTIPS. (Photo by Sludge Studios.) Speaking of, LOWD Pre-Rolls are officially here! Fused with artisan hash, these pre-rolls are packed with top shelf flower, and the packaging is compostable and reusable. We got to sample them – these 1 gram j’s will send you to the MOON and back! Grab some wherever LOWD is sold! If you want to support LOWD Cannabis , give them a follow and show them some love to stay on the cutting edge of possibility and innovation in cannabis! Here at Tokeativity we certainly Love Our Weed Daily and we hope you do the same. The post Cannabis Company, LOWD, is changing the world. Smoke like a grower.

http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/the-weedtube-logo.png WeedTube.com, launches a petition with a goal of 1 Million signatures to end the censorship of cannabis on Instagram! DENVER, CO (March 3, 2022) — WeedTube, the video sharing platform for cannabis content, is launching a petition to gain 1,000,000 signatures to demand that Instagram end its strict censorship of cannabis-related content and update its Community Guidelines to treat all legally operating cannabis businesses equally. Cannabis industry professionals and enthusiasts alike are encouraged to sign the petition to call for Instagram to update its regulations, as well as host a “roundtable” discussion with cannabis industry leaders on how to best navigate moving forward in a fair and equal way. Cannabis has been legalized for adult use in 18 states and medically in 36 states, yet Instagram continues to suspend and delete the pages of licensed and legal cannabis companies for violation of their vague and outdated policy prohibiting “attempts by individuals, manufacturers and retailers to purchase, sell or trade” marijuana. This policy is not enforced equally, with large multi-state corporations being allowed to promote their products and locations, while smaller, independent operators lose access to their Instagram pages, which are essential marketing tools in 2022. The petition is being led by WeedTube who lost access to their Instagram account in November for the second time. “We hope this petition can start a dialogue between Instagram and the legal cannabis industry to develop best practices so that we can promote our businesses in a safe and professional manner,” said WeedTube Co-Founder and Creative Director Arend Richard. Richard, whose YouTube channel was deleted in 2018 with nearly 200k subscribers due to cannabis content, has become an advocate for ending online cannabis censorship. .fusion-button.button-2{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;} Sign the petition HERE!! .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-14{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-14 > .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-14{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-14 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-14{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-14 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}} .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-8{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;} The post WEEDTUBE.COM: Legal Cannabis Industry Launches Petition Demanding Updates to Instagram’s Community Guidelines appeared first on Tokeativity®.

Utokia: Craft Cannabis, Adventure and A Crazy Cat Lady Quest!
Lisa posted a blog entry in Tokeativity HQ Blog
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!

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®.

How do you measure success? I learned slowly that all gains were really made up of incremental wins and losses. It would make no sense to celebrate just the big victory, as I would not only miss honoring the smaller gains that made the big victory possible, but I would not gain the momentum necessary even to reach the big victory at all. In other words, honoring the small wins wasn’t just being thoughtful. It was necessary to my survival. I’d argue it is essential to yours, too. In our end of year outreach, we asked over 50 cannabis entrepreneurs to share with us, milestones that they achieved this year! Dive in and let’s recognize and celebrate each of these entrepreneurs milestones for 2018! Lisa Snyder, CEO of Tokeativity “Tokeativity is the Global Cannabis Community for Women. We work to empower women at the root level and forward the normalization of cannabis. This year we launched our online platform and social network, Tokeativity Connect, launched 7 chapters in Portland, Eugene, Bend, Seattle, LA, Denver and our first international chapter, South Africa!” Read the other milestones achieved by entrepreneurs in the cannabis industry on Cannabis Direct Network’s website!

The Cannabis Congressional Caucus wrote a follow up letter to President Joe Biden urging him again to pardon all federal non-violent cannabis convictions. WASHINGTON D.C. – On Thursday, Congressman Jamaal Bowman (NY-16), Congressman Earl Blumenauer (OR-03), and Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-13) sent a letter, following up on a previous letter, to President Joe Biden again urging him to pardon all federal non-violent cannabis convictions. All three representatives are members of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus, with Representatives Blumenauer and Lee serving as Co-Chairs. “We write to urgently request an update on the February 18, 2021 letter signed by 35 members of Congress and led by Reps. Blumenauer and Lee requesting you pardon all federal non-violent cannabis convictions,” wrote Reps. Bowman, Blumenauer, and Lee. “Many remain behind bars due to racially discriminatory cannabis policies and continue to accrue criminal fees. To begin rectifying the damage done by these discriminatorily implemented policies and reunite families before the holidays, we reiterate our ask that you use your executive authority to pardon all individuals convicted of nonviolent cannabis offenses, whether formerly or currently incarcerated. We further write to specify that all federal criminal fines and fees be cancelled for all nonviolent cannabis offenses.” “Just as previous presidents have used executive authority to issue blanket pardons consistent with our values that benefit the American people, this is an opportunity for you to uphold commitments made during the campaign and revitalize communities across the country,” continued Reps. Bowman, Blumenauer, and Lee. “Mass incarceration has disproportionately harmed Black and brown communities and its impact can be felt everywhere. Every non-violent offender given the opportunity to return home can create a positive ripple effect by reuniting families, connecting people to work opportunities, and beginning the road to healing from the harm these policies continue to inflict.” .fusion-button.button-2{border-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;} To read the full text of the letter, click HERE .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-6{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.fusion-builder-column-6 > .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-6{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-6 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}}@media only screen and (max-width:640px) {.fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-6{width:100% !important;order : 0;}.fusion-builder-column-6 > .fusion-column-wrapper {margin-right : 1.92%;margin-left : 1.92%;}} .fusion-body .fusion-flex-container.fusion-builder-row-5{ padding-top : 0px;margin-top : 0px;padding-right : 0px;padding-bottom : 0px;margin-bottom : 0px;padding-left : 0px;} The post NEWS: Bowman, Blumenauer, and Lee Again Urge Biden to Pardon All Federal Non-Violent Cannabis Convictions Feminist Community for Active Cannabis Culture” appeared first on Tokeativity®.

One of the tools that seemed the most promising: CANNABIS! After countless hours of learning and exploring the benefits of this amazing plant, Anthony, like many parents of children with disabilities, came to the realization that without more research, this remarkable tool couldn’t reach its full potential. Anthony has been on a mission since to grow the best cannabis and to advocate for research on how cannabis can help people with disabilities. Dutch Valley Farms was born from this mission and they are setting an example for what the sustainable, craft cannabis industry should look like everywhere. “My family and what we have created here…. it is special. I have always believed it is best to go into battle with people you trust and we have been through Fires, Ice Storms, the pandemic and other issues together. We made it past the other side and we are stronger because of that. I think the Sky is the limit.” – Anthony Palacio, COO and owner of Dutch Valley Farms and Permaculture Solutions Honoring the land they reside on, Dutch Valley uses natural products, OMRI listed fertilizers, beneficial fungus, microbes and natural predatory insects for IPMS and sustainable farming practices to ensure their flower is free of toxins or chemicals, for both the consumer and the environment. Their sister brand, Permaculture Solutions, offers top quality rosin, bubble hash and soon a new edible line. Dutch Valley Cannabis is so on the cutting edge of sustainability that they even capture all rain storm water run off from the facility as well as the A/C and dehumidifier systems. In fact, the capture is large enough to water the entire grow operation that they bypass the need to pull from the local watershed. It doesn’t stop there, either! They capture the nutrient wastewater and use it to fertilize a vegetable garden. BELIEVE US when we tell you that this flower is DANK, sustainable, ethical and simply beautiful…the Tokeativity HQ Team did a visit to Dutch Valley Farms and we saw it with our own eyes! They even play music to their plants to keep the vibes high! http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/4-300x300.png http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/8-300x300.png http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/10-300x300.png When I tried the Banana Puddintain strain by Dutch Valley Farms, I was immediately enamored with the gorgeous, chunky and sparkly presence of these big, beautiful buds! On the first puff of my bong my mouth watered with those delicious terpenes and flavonoids coming in strong. Easy on my lungs, this strain was a delight to toke and made me feel super relaxed and happy. Perfect for a wind down, the DVF Banana Punch had me chillin hard and feeling good. Their flower is just the kind of fire that we love here at Tokeativity, after a long day of smashing the patriarchy! Dutch Valley Cannabis is crushing it so hard that their craft grow operation is expanding! In late 2021, the team is thrilled to move up to Tier 2 licensing and they are expanding their production to a second facility! Their sister brand, Permaculture Solutions, is also expanding production of their top notch rosin, bubble hash and edibles! http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/6-300x300.png http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/3-300x300.png http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/2-300x300.png We could not be more stoked to support craft, family farms like Dutch Valley. When you buy their flower, concentrates or edibles you know that you are 1. Getting a quality product that is free from toxins, pesticides and bull shit 2. Supporting a BIPOC, queer owned and woman operated farm 3. Supporting a family who is expanding and creating opportunity for their farm fam to make a real impact on the future of cannabis research and science, specifically for people with disabilities. When you are at the dispensary next time ask your budtender more about the farms that you are buying from! Know where your weed is grown, how and by whom! It makes a real difference in real people’s lives in this exciting time in the cannabis legalization movement.

THE OREGON WAY: “Oregon – The Global Center for Psychedelic Therapy” by Nathan Howard

http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/fruiting-bodies-psilocybin-mushrooms-the-oregon-way.jpg The world — and specifically the innovative and inspiring state of Oregon — is in the midst of a profound psychedelic renaissance. 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®.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday, April 19, 2021 CONTACT: Danielle Cohen – 202-805-4737 Blumenauer Lauds House Passage of Federal Legislation to Give Cannabis Businesses Access to Banking Services Under SAFE Banking Act, cannabis businesses would not have to operate in cash, which has made Portland-area stores and workers a target for violent robberies. WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed federal legislation to provide legitimate cannabis businesses access to banking services, an issue that has long been championed by U.S. Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), founder and co-chair of the Congressional Cannabis Caucus. The bipartisan passage of the Secure And Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act in the 117th Congress comes as Portland-area cannabis businesses and their workers continue to be targeted with violent robberies that have been linked to a system that forces cannabis businesses to deal almost exclusively in cash. “Cannabis will soon be a $20 billion industry and is overwhelmingly supported by the American public. The insane prohibition on banking services serves no one’s interest, except for money launderers, tax evaders, or those who are going to rob these cash-rich businesses,” Blumenauer said. “As we continue to push forward with full legalization, addressing this irrational, unfair, and unsafe denial of banking services to state-legal cannabis businesses is a top priority. This is a critical element of reform that can’t wait, and I urge our cannabis champions in the Senate to take up this legislation as soon as possible.” Under the federal prohibition on cannabis, banks and credit unions are currently prohibited from serving cannabis businesses, even with financial products as simple as savings accounts or payroll checks. Notwithstanding the financial and practical hardships facing legal cannabis businesses, forcing these businesses to operate on a cash-only basis creates a public safety risk and makes tracking revenue more difficult for tax purposes. The cash-only nature of cannabis businesses also makes them easy and frequent targets for robberies, which puts workers at risk. According to a March 2021 report by Willamette Week, in the preceding 10 months, Portland cannabis shops were robbed, burglarized, or looted 95 times – often at gunpoint – resulting in one tragic fatality. The legislation passed in the House would prohibit federal regulators from taking punitive measures against depository institutions that provide banking services to legitimate cannabis-related businesses and ancillary businesses like the electricians, plumbers, and the landlords that serve them. The SAFE Banking Act also requires a GAO study and annual regulator reports to Congress to ensure equal access to credit and to reduce barriers to marketplace entry for potential and existing minority- and women-owned cannabis-related businesses. Full text of the SAFE Banking Act can be found here.

My career in marketing and visual communications began when I was a teenager with a compelling pitch for my parents about why I needed Doc Martens. Let’s just say my first campaign was successful and I’ve carried on to be a passionate promoter, storyteller, mover and shaker for so many AMAZING things over the course of my life this far. Music, causes, events, businesses and products… This beautiful life is rich with important things for the community to know about. I care deeply about making the world a better place and I love sharing my stories and other’s stories of impactful experiences. It feels so special to be recognized for my contribution to shaping the future of community and culture as a woman in the cannabis industry. The plant medicine revolution is happening because people just want to feel good, and as marketers that is really what we do. I am a passionate light worker in an intense, dark world and I am so honored to feel so seen. I’m truly humbled and grateful. But, this work does not only belong to me… THANK YOU to my business partner, Lisa Snyder, for being on this life journey with me and for including me in your vision for Tokeativity and feminine liberation. This award, to me, feels like OUR award because for the last 5 years we have been in this together. We are just getting started and our vision for the world we want to see is happening! Thank you for creating with me – it’s truly a joy every single day. Thank you to my parents, Mike and Rhonda, my siblings, Niki, Byron and Julie, and my Gigi, Roberta, for always loving me in my truest, raw and wild form. Your support and encouragement for me to just be myself and shine bright is the reason I’ve felt confident enough to do everything I have this far. I was always the black sheep, but y’all loved me for my differences and celebrated my quirks. I’m eternally grateful. Thank you to the Tokeativiteam – Casey, Kia and Wendy, as well as the other leaders and contributors to our work – there are too many to name here, but y’all know who you are. Thank you to all of my amazing family, friends mentors and community for inspiring me to evolve and grow. I’m overflowing and am just going to bathe in it as I spend the next couple weeks in Northern Wisconsin with my family In humble gratitude, Samantha Montanaro The post Samantha Montanaro recognized as Top Influencer in Marketing & Advertising at Global Summit appeared first on Tokeativity®.

This month, we’re donating to Equitable Giving Circle with The Floret Coalition
Lisa posted a blog entry in Tokeativity HQ Blog
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.
