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®.

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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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®.

  10. 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.

  12. 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.

  14. Social media has become a platform for the legal cannabis industry to not only display their brands but create a community revolving around the plant. Women, in particular, have found success in promoting brands, educating, and taking followers from all over the world on a journey of cannabis legalization creating relationships with these fans. Through this, they have a global reach to make a change and are jumping at the opportunity. A quick search on any popular social media site will bring up everything from Women Cannabis Business Owners, to Women’s Veterans Support Groups all based around this beautiful http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/IMG_4719-640x300-300x141.jpgfemale plant. But its more than just a group on social media, these women are there to lift each other up by making connections, supporting businesses, and offering resources to other female-run organizations with a desire for everyone to succeed. It is a new level of compassion being brought to the table that allows for collaboration benefiting all parties involved. Groups like Women Grow, Tokativity, Women Leaders in Cannabis, Grow Sisters and Women & Weed are actively pursuing a change and equality in the legal cannabis industry. Using meetups, online classes, educational events, lobbying, and support groups they are being the voice of not only gender equality in the industry but also help break the stigma of the traditional “stoner”.

  18.  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!

  21. 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®.

  22. The Oregon Cannabis Equity Act provides equal opportunity for Black, Indigenous, and Latinx ownership in the growing cannabis industry and invests in communities disproportionately impacted by overpolicing and cannabis criminalization. SUMMARY As Oregon continues to see growth in the recreational cannabis market, the Oregon Cannabis Equity Act provides an opportunity for Oregon to pass the most comprehensive, holistic approach to cannabis equity in the United States. This Act focuses on widespread reinvestment in the communities that have been hurt most by racial profiling and the War on Drugs – Black, Indigenous and Latina/o/x communities. Passage of the Oregon Cannabis Equity Act would focus cannabis tax dollars and other relevant funds into repairing the damages done to Black and brown communities by providing business opportunities and support and meeting housing, education, and health care needs. The act also enacts free, automatic expungement of eligible cannabis crimes for everyone eliminating the hurdles that have kept 20,000+ Oregonians from expunging their cannabis record. .fusion-button.button-1 {border-radius:0px;} Sign the petition .fusion-body .fusion-builder-column-0{width:100% !important;margin-top : 0px;margin-bottom : 20px;}.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;order : 0;}.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;order : 0;}.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 Bills We Support: HB 3112 – The Oregon Cannabis Equity Act appeared first on The Global Feminist Community.

  23. 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®.

  25. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/AndreaBeaulieu_CreativeLadyDirectory-300x300.jpegImage courtesy of creativeladydirectory.com “I have to make a big change now” said Studio Linear founder, Andrea Beaulieu, as she was laying next to her daughter at bed time, feeling heart race uncontrollably. She felt like she was about to die. Enough was enough. Most adults have experienced a moment similar to this. That “AHA” moment where you realize that you, and only you, are going to make the change that needs to happen for your physical, emotional and spiritual health. That moment, for Andrea, wasn’t the usual and all-too-common-these-days “I have to stop drinking alcohol now” moment. This moment was loaded with many layers of choices that were about to affect Andrea’s business and her ability to provide for her family of four. This was complicated. Big Alcohol, after-all, was funding Andrea’s business and as the Creative Director for wine and beverage campaigns geared towards moms it was Andrea’s job to know and love that alcohol she was creating designs. “This really pissed me off. It really started to bother me that the messaging for these alcoholic beverages, targeted to women and mothers, was that as moms we couldn’t deal with it ourselves…that we need alcohol to manage the stress of parenting.” – Andrea Beaulieu In this compelling interview below, Tokeativity Co-Founder and CEO, Samantha Montanaro talks with Andrea about going from Wine Mom to Canna Mom, as well as how Andrea pivoted her creative agency, Studio Linear, from alcohol to Cannabis! As Cannabis is legalized and marketed to massive audiences of new consumers, innovative cannabis and CBD brands are re-defining the stoner stigma and changing the world with their beautiful imagery absent of tie dye, stoner bros and women in skimpy clothes. Andrea and her team at Studio Linear are on the cutting edge of futuristic, beautiful and clever Cannabis branding, design and content creation that is genuinely changing the way consumers feel about weed, CBD and the array of many products. “The future of cannabis branding is about a lifestyle. It will become so normal that we will start seeing incredibly packaged brands on the shelves of Target” – Andrea Beaulieu Packaging, advertisements, billboards – this imagery really does influence the way people feel about everything. Behavioral data is worth more than oil these days. Brands have incredible power over human behavior. Cannabis branding has so much power and Studio Linear is using this power for good. The self healing revolution is HERE and women like Andrea are leading the way. .fusion-gallery-1 .fusion-gallery-image {border:0px solid #f6f6f6;} Studio Linear is accepting new clients who are looking for design services for new brands (or an existing company rebrand), logos, package design, websites, social media content and more.
