On June 30, 2021 our co-founder and CEO Samantha Montanaro accepted an award recognizing her contributions and social impact at the Marketing, Advertising and Retail Summit in Las Vegas. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/2-300x300.png Here are some words from Samantha: What an absolute and humbling honor to be recognized as a Top Influencer in the Marketing & Advertising industry for social impact by the global Marketing, Advertising and Retail Summit in Las Vegas this week! 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®.

Social Equity Policy Initiatives in Cannabis Are All the Buzz… by Allison Holmes http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2-1024x576.png THE COMPLEXITIES OF SOCIAL EQUITY I started this project looking to make a list of “The Top 10 Equity Bills and Initiatives” being implemented around the country and quickly discovered that claims of equitable legislation live on a pretty broad spectrum. So what is equity, exactly, and how do we ensure it through policy? WHAT IS SOCIAL EQUITY Equitable cannabis policy acknowledges that historically persecuted populations have limited access to the knowledge, money, and support they need to successfully conduct business within the cannabis industry. Equity focuses on dividing resources proportionally to the needs of those involved in order to achieve a fair outcome, so any equitable program must provide a boost into the industry for people who may not have the same capital, connections, or education as their white, male, able-bodied counterparts. According to the Social Equity Legislation in Cannabis: A National Study of State and Local Programming, “less than ⅕ of cannabis business owners identify as being a person of color” and 100% of the respondents to this study said that state and local governments aren’t doing enough to change this. It’s not enough to simply expunge the records of folks who faced criminal charges for marijuana possession, while that is an important step, it leaves the rest of the staircase totally unaccounted for. Equitable drug policy means undoing the harms caused by the War on Drugs and offering direct and specific support to the people most impacted by marijuana prohibition, disproportionate arrests, and incarceration. Programs that aim to be equitable must include a pathway to prosperity that creates opportunities for Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander and other people of color who face economic marginalization and have been most profoundly impacted by the failed drug war. HOW EQUITY IS BEING LEGISLATED “Without considering real estate support, legal support, securing operating capital (without losing equity), normalization campaigns, and a focus on real community reinvestment, social equity programs will not be able to support economic development in disproportionately impacted communities.” – Timeka Drew, operating social equity license holder and seasoned cannabis industry executive Establishing equity through legislation requires a nuanced understanding and a truly holistic approach. It must account for access to funding, specialized licensing programs, ongoing training and professional support, and reinvestment into black and brown communities. Access to Capital The Social Equity Legislation in Cannabis: A National Study of State and Local Programming surveyed equity programs and operators about the barriers that prevent entry into the industry, “100% of the respondents said that access to capital was the biggest need and challenge.” The study goes on to say that access to fairly structured capital, in non-predatory form, is essential, ‘It is crucial that social equity applicants have access to start-up and ongoing funding… in order to survive.” Examples of funding include reducing or eliminating application fees, grants, low or no interest loans, free rent, and rent assistance. Licensing “”Equity applicants” are a very specific form of equitable policy that is supposed to be narrowly targeted toward ensuring the ownership of the legal industry includes those who have been disproportionately impacted. Because of crony capitalism making licenses very limited, we have to force the government to allow us to own our piece through the law, which mandates a certain number or % of licenses go to impacted people.”” – Jason Ortiz, Minority Cannabis Business Association There is no one single way to set eligibility for equity applicants, each state and locality devise different ways of determining specific eligibility requirements. Most legislation requires equity applicants to have long-term residency in certain zip codes that had high numbers of cannabis-related arrests, a maximum income, and to have had a cannabis-related conviction or arrest. Equity applicant eligibility should be specific and tailored to the context of the community in which it is being implemented. *** Don’t miss Timeka Drew’s talk about “How to Apply for an Equity Lisence” streaming live from the Pride & Equity Tokeativity Social happening on Saturday, June 12. RSVP for free today! Professional Support “Equity applicants are by definition impacted individuals who are often expected to have a level of business acumen that’s comparable to an MBA. If an equity applicant doesn’t have the resources to properly vet a predatory operating agreement or what it takes to stand up a business, then how are they supposed to have a shot at retaining any upside let alone open their doors?” – Hilary Yu with Our Academy It is imperative that programs provide equity applicants with direct support throughout the process of application and continued mentorship into business ownership. Examples include: professional support in navigating the application process, education on ownership rights to prevent exploitation, business coaching, mentorship, and ongoing access to training, and legal services. Community Reinvestment “The War on Drugs devastated communities by stealing opportunities connected to jobs, housing and education. Without projects and funding focused specifically on addressing these harms created by racist and classist policies, social equity programs will continue to fall short in connecting the dots between the wrongs created by the War on Drugs and the revolutionary concept of an industry that is invested in righting those wrongs.” – Timeka Drew, operating social equity license holder and seasoned cannabis industry executive Because the harms of the drug war have been so exhaustive and far-reaching, there is a great need for expansive and in-depth reinvestment into black and brown communities. Equity programs use their platform to ensure the reallocation of cannabis tax revenue be funneled into impacted communities in the form of direct investment. Funding for restorative justice, equal education, access to health care, affordable housing, and home ownership, etc… IMPACT AND RESPONSIBILITY White folks who have benefited from the use of cannabis or profited off of a legal cannabis market should be using their privilege to advocate for those most harmed by the War on Drugs. This is an opportunity to repair the damage that was done. Legalization cannot be equitable unless it starts off as equitable, the intention is to give the communities most impacted by prohibition a head start in an industry that will take off. Utilize our platforms and privilege to increase awareness, get involved politically, share generational wealth, invest in a support structure to help Black, Latinx, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander and other people of color prosper in this community. CONCLUSION I’m writing this piece to leverage my whiteness and my access to social capital to encourage Tokeativity members to understand and support equitability within the cannabis industry as legalization sweeps across the United States. It’s important to acknowledge that cannabis equity legislation can only do so much; we must work together to create pathways to prosperity in all aspects of our society. It’s overdue, but I’m excited to see the cannabis-loving community upholding this conversation and doing something about it. The attention being paid to equity and the diligent activists of color refusing to settle for anything less has me feeling hopeful about the impact this industry will have in this world. So look into what’s happening in your state and in your community and get involved! I’ll end this piece with a reflective statement from the cofounder of The Social Impact Center, Kristen Lovell: “Social Equity is a struggle that may not ever be won, but must alway be fought for. There are 48,000 collateral consequences of a conviction. Simple things, like housing, employment, and voting rights are affected when an individual undergoes incarceration. Families are broken. Education is withheld. Neighborhoods terrorized. Black and brown bodies profiled. Lives change course forever. There might never be adequate reparation, but healing from the War on Drugs is a process we must all dedicate ourselves to if we wish to consider ourselves cannabis community members. You can be a colonist or a community member. A community member can not fight for licensing without expungement, or for banking without refunding recompension, or for taxation without community reinvestment.” – Kristen Lovell, long time cannabis activist and head of brand at Biko Flower The post Social Equity Policy Initiatives in Cannabis Are All the Buzz… But, What Defines Equitable Policy? 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.

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.

But it also sparked sharp criticism from both legalization supporters and opponents by delaying implementation until 2024. Last Wednesday, Democratic Gov. Ralph Northam called on the legislature to speed up the legalization timeline, proposing amendments to allow possession and home cultivation starting July 1. New York After years of near-misses, New York legalized adult-use cannabis last week. Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the “Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act” into law just hours after it cleared the Legislature. New Yorkers aged 21 and older can now legally possess and consume cannabis, but dispensaries are not expected to open until at least 2022 under the new regulatory structure. New Mexico New Mexico required a special session to get marijuana legalization legislation over the finish line after three years of trying, but both legislative chambers ultimately passed a bill last Wednesday. Debate over scrapping old marijuana-related convictions and caps on plant counts dominated discussions, and Republicans dug in their heels at the end of the regular legislative session — ultimately leading Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham to call the special session to address weed.

http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Actually-Equitable-Policies-Tokeativity-Allison-Holmes-Nickia-Delaware.png by Allison Holmes I started this project looking to make a list of “The Top Equity Bills and Initiatives” being implemented around the country and quickly discovered that claims of equitable legislation live on a pretty broad spectrum. So what is it and how do we ensure it through policy? Is just expungement enough to be considered equitable? I ended up writing this piece on What Defines Social Equity where we did a deeper dive into this issue. Now that we know what equitable policy can really look like, I compiled this list of 5 states who have initiatives in motion that are actually equitable. It is essential that we rally support around these measures! Check it out and TAKE ACTION! Connecticut Medical Marijuana has been legal in Connecticut since 2012. This year there are two bills that would legalize an adult use market, SB888 and HB6377. SB888 was proposed by the governor, but the bill has been highly criticized by the community and equity activists. In response, HB6377 has been introduced by Connecticut United for Reform and Equity (CURE) and Chairwoman Robyn Porter in order to provide a more equitable approach to legalizing adult use cannabis in the state. HB6377 Sponsored by Robyn Porter and CURE “Pipeline to Prosperity” – funding for Modern Cannabis Workforce Development Early registration for equity license applicants Funding for low-interest business loans Labor peace agreements – choice of joining a union for all cannabis workers Equity Task Force – to assess the most effective strategies for community reinvestment Partners with the University of Connecticut for ongoing business support for equity applicants Massachusetts The state of Massachusetts has had a legalized market for adult use cannabis since the end 2016 and has been making strides toward equitability ever since. The Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission created the Social Equity Program in 2018 to provide technical assistance and education for those most impacted by the War on Drugs. The commission also implemented the Economic Empowerment Priority Program, which gave licensing priority to Social Equity applicants. Currently, there is a bill in the state house (HB 178) that seeks to reallocate cannabis tax revenue into the Cannabis Community Empowerment Fund to provide direct access to capital for Social Equity Applicants. Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission Social Equity Program provides free technical assistance and education for its participants Economic Empowerment Priority Program gives priority to eligible applicants provides financial support in the form of fee reduction and waivers House Bill 178 Equitable Empowerment of Minority-Owned Business… Cannabis Community Empowerment Fund – offers low or no interest loans to eligible businesses including Social Equity and Economic Empowerment Applicants Requires the state transfer $10 million from the Marijuana Regulation Fund to the Cannabis Community Empowerment Fund by Oct. 1, 2021 New York New York just enacted an adult use cannabis law which will be fully realized in the next year or so. The state gained national attention for including social equity in its original legislation. As New York moves toward the implementation of cannabis legalization, here’s what social equity efforts we should expect to see: Marijuana Regulation and Taxation Act Set a goal to award 50% of licenses to social equity applicants Financial support to social equity applicants Low or no interest loans, fee reductions or waivers Professional assistance provided in application process, and continued support into business operation 40% of tax revenues generated by adult use sales to be reinvested into communities impacted by the War on Drugs Oregon The state of Oregon has had a legalized market for adult use cannabis since 2015. Activists have been working to legislate equity into the market ever since. Currently there is a bill in the house (HB 3112) that would provide a structure for social equity to be implemented. HB 3112 The Oregon Equity Investment Act Calls for cannabis tax revenues to provide for direct investment in the form of home ownership, health care, and expungement of marijuana related charges Creation of equity licenses to support BIPOC cannabis business owners On-premises consumption for equity licensees only, for ten years Delivery licenses for equity licensees only, for ten years Capital and technical support License fee reductions Faster processing of equity licenses California’s Decentralized Approach The California Cannabis Equity Act of 2018 allocated funding for cities and counties to develop and operate cannabis equity programs. Within California there are many different approaches being taken, each one tailored to fit the context of the specific community. Oakland has been a local stand out in implementing a functional social equity process. Oakland Cannabis Equity Program Equity Permit Program Incubator program – general applicants providing equity applicants with funding and property, incubator receives permitting priority over other general applicants “By reserving permits for equity applicants and incentivizing general applicants to support equity program participants, Oakland’s program has succeeded in increasing the number of cannabis entrepreneurs of color in the city.” (Social Equity Legislation in Cannabis: A National Study…) Workforce Development Grant Program – designed to recruit, train, and employ individuals impacted by the drug war Collaboration with Supernova Women – aims to provide avenues for individuals to benefit from the cannabis industry outside of business ownership Join us at the Pride and Equity Tokeativity Social on Saturday, June 12 from 2-6pm PST for a “digital beehive of activities” including discussions and panels on important topics like Social Equity in Cannabis.

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!

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.

 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!

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!

http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Copy-of-Copy-of-1456-x-180-LARGE-Leaderboard-Ads.png DUTCH VALLEY FARMS Family focused, BIPOC, Queer owned and woman run, Dutch Valley Farms is an Oregon-based cannabis farm that is upholds Oregon’s DANK craft cannabis reputation to the highest degree. http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/9-300x300.png http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/7-300x300.png http://tokeativity.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/5-300x300.png In 2010, Dutch Valley Farms founder, Anthony Palacio’s family’s world was turned upside down when a neurologist uttered words that no parents hope to hear: “Your son is on the autism spectrum.” Tired of sleepless nights and the frustrations that come with seeing your child suffer, Anthony and his partner started to research tools that could help their son’s quality of life. 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.
