Around this time last year I found myself in a deactivation battle with Instagram. I debated my career in cannabis. Heck, I even considered applying at more corporate jobs. Even though the idea of working in a place like the Amazon Spheres sounds appealing, I can’t fathom doing anything besides work in weed.

I’m the product of a small business owner. My dad spent 17 years working at a government funded nuclear facility. Despite good pay and benefits, you know what? He hated it. My dad eventually pursued his own dreams, starting a niche model airplane magazine. Similar to what I do for cannabis, he shoots photos, writes articles, sends email newsletters
