I cruised the North Cascades Highway en route home from Lazy Bee Gardens. This scenic route is a must to stop, relax and snap photos.
State Route 20 (SR 20) is also known as the North Cascades Highway. The highway starts in Port Townsend on the Olympic Peninsula. It ends 400 feet from the Idaho state line. SR 20 is the longest highway in Washington at 436.13 miles, but it’s also the most beautiful.
For a farm favorite and a Washington state classic, look to the Blue Dream strain by Lazy Bee Gardens.
This sativa dominant hybrid is a blend of two favorites. Blueberry's sweet indica flavors provide a sense of relaxation, while sativa dominant Haze adds a kick of creativity. After a a long day of work, I love to smoke Blue Dream before running Green Lake.
Lazy Bee Gardens is a sun grown Tier 3 located in the breathtaking Methow Valley. Their sustainable farming methods mean cannabis is grown the way nature intended — pesticide free.
What sets Lazy Bee Garden apart is their soil. Matt, the owner, uses locally sourced, organic soil amendments, mulches and companion crops. He brews Actively Aerated Compost Teas (AACT). After a few days of steeping, Matt adds this brew of probiotics to the soil.
Berner made a recent appearance at Northwest Cannabis Solutions. The musician, mogul and cannabis connoisseur is filming an upcoming episode of Marijuana Mania. His script? Show everyone how Washington does weed.
The tour started in NWCS's state-of-the-art extraction lab. Berner and guide, Leo, looked at a recent batch of distillate. Leo explained the different extract methods and is pictured above with their Heidolph rotary evaporators. The guys even poured out an estimated $500k in clear concentrates.
Every other summer, Mom and I spend a week at Hacienda Encandata in Cabo San Lucas. What started as an impulse purchase after too many mimosas at a timeshare tour, has turned into a decade of travel. This year, however, marks the first year Cannabess goes to Cabo.
This trip started one week later than planned. Unbeknownst to Mom, that *enhanced* ID only works via land and sea, not air travel. Her passport? Three hours from us expired in a desk. Picture us at the airport around 5 AM being told we cannot board our flight. Lesson learned the hard way.
Ain’t to party like a Hempfest party! Hempfest wouldn’t be complete without DOPE Magazine‘s epic afterparty.
This year’s event took place on a rooftop terrace in Belltown. I typically mingle at these events, however took a break during golden hour to photograph the beautiful Kitty Kitty Bang Bang. Her unique vintage dress and headscarf caught my attention. I knew this would be an impulse editorial.
These boots are made of blazing, and that’s just what they’ll do. One of these days these vintage boots are gonna blaze all over you.
Fauxy Furr Vintage recently finished construction on their new bootique. This renovated trailer is a vintage haven on wheels. Chrysta and Jill, the brains behind Fauxy Furr, pulled out all the stops. Shelves for boots, racks for coats and of course a giant mirror to scope yourself out.
It’s one of Washington state’s most iconic skylines. Some say it looks like an indian laying on his back. So today we’re smoking out Mount Si.
Nicole, Yunks and I met at BelMar in Bellevue, before hitting I-90 east. We scouted a couple locations in North Bend in hunt of the perfect view. I wanted open fields with visibility of Mount Si.
It's one of Washington's most popular trails. Atop the rocky ridge is a white lookout tower. A large boulder makes the perfect place to smoke while the sun sets. We're high on life hiking Mount Pilchuck Trail.
Amy, Cam and I trekked this gem on a warm summer day. Before hitting the trail, we met at Safeway. We scored on snacks because Mount Pilchuck Trail is a beast. In the parking lot, Cam realized he forgot his dab rig. I needed one, so purchased a mini piece to fit in my pack.
For Capitol Hill Block Party 2016, Van der Pop asked me to participate in their Snapchat takeover. How could I pass up three things I love — social media, music and this female-owned cannabis line? Ladies, count me in.
Van der Pop partnered with the Goodship Company to sponsor the Cloud Room's VIP event. Guests could sip on cocktails, mingle with artists and overlook performances at Capitol Hill Block Party 2016. I shared stories on Snapchat while Van der Pop founder April Pride interviewed attendees.
