Ooze Life’s Biodegradable Rolling Trays

January 16, 2020
ooze life's biodegradable rolling trays

These Biodegradable Rolling Trays Break Down in Under Two Years

Last year, humans globally produced 359 million metric tons of plastic. That breaks out to 718 billion pounds of plastic in one year. Even worse, a whopping 91% of plastic isn’t recycled. The cannabis industry is complicit in this plastic production, which is why I am so proud to partner with Ooze Life to promote their biodegradable rolling trays.

Ooze Life’s biodegradable rolling trays are made with melamine powder, bamboo powder and corn starch to form a resin that degrades in nature. The bamboo powder is repurposed from leftover cuttings and shavings from the manufacturing of other bamboo products like chopsticks or flooring, thus making it even more sustainable.

Cannabis Decade Recap

Smoking My Way through the 2010’s with a Cannabis Decade Recap

I’ve barely begun typing, but already reminiscing on the last decade brings me to tears. If you told me ten years ago I’d be a successful cannabis business owner living in Seattle, I would’ve laughed. At that time I still smoked black market weed from friends who could get it. My oh my, how things change. So as we blaze into the roaring 2020’s, I’m excited to do a cannabis decade recap highlighting the last ten years that brought me where I am today.

2010 started out smoke free. After all, I lived in China. Today I’m pretty gutsy about smoking around the world, but there’s some countries I just won’t risk. Prior to my move overseas I watched “Locked Up Abroad” and joked with friends I wouldn’t fare well in Chinese prison. So for half of 2010 I remained cannabis free. Until I moved home in June 2010.

Sorry Santa, I smoked my Christmas Trees Wearing Savage x Fenty

Naughty or nice, sugar and spice! The only thing I’m wrapping this holiday season is joints. What better way to keep cozy this Kushmas than with my Savage x Fenty loungewear?

I spark up my Christmas trees in this cozy three-piece set. The pants and long sleeve pair well by a roaring fire. The eye cover is needed for those afternoon naps. Best of all, the set includes briefs for a fun change when you’re feeling naughty.

Christmas Trees and Gucci Boots

Vaping Christmas Trees in my Gucci Boots

While most people trim their trees, I vape mine in my new Gucci boots! Although I can’t lie. I got a little wild at last weekend’s holiday party. As a result, I woke up with a missing vape pen and full cartridge. Luckily before I lost this beautiful red vape pen, Mandee and I went to the local tree farm for a few photos.

I recently treated myself to the new Gucci Flashtrek sneakers. When I styled them for work one morning, I loved how they looked with this chunky vintage sweater from MADE by DWC. I got all the Christmas feels, so after purchasing my tree at this Ravenna farm, wanted to shoot there too.

Lester Farms with Ariel Casie

Spending Weed Wednesday with Ariel Casie at BMF and Lester Farms

Today I want to highlight one of Washington State’s most inspirational women in cannabis — Ariel Casie. We recently took a tour of BMF and Lester Farms, located in Raymond, Washington. I got a BTS of these beautiful facilities, learned more about their brands and enjoyed getting to know Ariel’s work in i502.

Like most people who work in the industry, Ariel wears many hats. She is the Director of HR and Compliance at Lester Farms. She’s also very involved with BMF, as the marketing coordinator.

BA Botanicals’ Second Season of Legal Sungrown Cannabis

Last year I photographed the beautiful BA Botanicals, a sungrown farm in Estacada, Oregon. This year the owner, Sebastian, invited me back. I gladly accepted, as I couldn’t wait to see their second year of growth.

Similar to the previous year, what I notice upon entry is the number of genetics at BA Botanicals. Sebastian has a plethora of plants, some freshly blooming and others ready to harvest. Mouth watering strains like Orangeade, Purple Punch and Papaya line the rows.

Ooze’s Silicone Pipe is a Treat

It’s no trick, Ooze’s Silicone Pipe is a real treat

Whether I’m running through a corn maze or dodging ghosts on All Hallows’ Eve, I need a piece that can keep up. It’s why I love Ooze’s new Stack Silicone Pipe.

Water percolation makes for smooth hits, durable silicone means no worries if you drop it during a moment of fright, and my personal favorite — THEIR GREEN PIECE GLOWS IN THE DARK. Seriously, hits in the dark? Not a problem. You will always see this piece. Just be careful, because the goblins and ghouls will want to hit it too.

Bullying Prevention and Women in Weed

Bulling Prevention and why women in weed need to lead by example

October is National Bullying Prevention Month. People tend to think of the cannabis community as open minded, progressive, accepting and tolerant. However, in my almost five years in the industry, I have seen a LOT of bullying in the industry. Today I want to speak out about my experiences being bullied by women in weed. I hope this post helps other victims of bullying know they are not alone, life will get better and to have the courage to speak out.

Before I go any further, I’d like to clarify a couple things. I felt torn sharing usernames of women involved. While the dominant Aries in me wants to call out everyone’s shit, what good does that do? When women hate on women, everyone loses. So lucky for those who hid behind their devices. I’m sharing my story, and helping save face in the process. I don’t want women to receive the same bullying I did. I also don’t want women to gain clout off their actions. So sit back, spark up and get ready for the most anxiety filled blog I’ve ever written.

Three Amazon Spheres, One Cannabess

October 4, 2019

Checking Out Jeff’s Balls at the Amazon Spheres

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

    Gearing up for 4/20 with a little help from @gpen! Gearing up for 4/20 with a little help from @gpen! Fun #throwback story: when I lived in Los Angeles, I met the founder of G Pen through the social circle I ran with. At the time I didn’t work in weed, or know much about cannabis beyond I liked to smoke it. So fast forward a decade and you can imagine my surprise to receive a goodie box from them in the mail.

The Roam is an all-in-one portable water filtered vaporizer. It makes it so easy to dab on-the-go or just lounging around the house. But there’s a bigger lesson here beyond how much I love my new G Pen—it’s to be kind to everyone. The world is a LOT smaller than you think, and even more-so in the cannabis industry. You never know who you’ll connect or cross paths with, and the universe is really good about bringing things full circle.

Now the big question—what’s everyone doing for 4/20 tomorrow!? 🔥🍯💨 #cannabess

    How much weed I need to pay income #taxes to a gov How much weed I need to pay income #taxes to a government $30 trillion in debt with $130+ trillion in unfunded liabilities.

Did you know in 1895 the #SupremeCourt ruled the income tax unconstitutional? The federal income tax of 1894 was a two percent tax on all income over $4,000 (roughly $90,000 today) and marked America’s first peacetime national income tax. It was promptly challenged on grounds the Constitution requires direct taxes to be levied in proportion to each state’s population. In a 5-4 vote, #SCOTUS ruled the income tax is a direct tax and thus the 1894 law was void.

So how did we get stuck with the income tax anyway? In 1909 politicians passed a resolution to give Congress clear power to enact “taxes on incomes” without apportionment. Four years later, four-fifths of Congress ratified the 16th Amendment (IDK how, maybe they told people they’d get *free* stuff) which granted government the power to tax (cough, steal, cough) your income.

Today people say “taxes are the price we pay to live in a civilized society” while the U.S. government spends billions on the drug war, trillions to bomb the Middle East and wastes money like a drunk frat bro getting bottle service. Moreover, the IRS has a $13 billion annual budget, which speaks volumes about the abhorrent power of government.

If people want to ACTUALLY protest, stop giving government an interest free loan on your income. Refuse withholdings on your paycheck. Maximize deductions and make it as difficult as possible for the government to steal your wages. The income tax is oppressive, un-American and needs to be abolished. Our country was founded on tax rebellion, so sticking it to the tax man (or woman) is your patriotic duty. Have a happy Tax Day! 🍁🥲💸 #cannabess

    Happy International Women's Day! Today I'm lightin Happy International Women's Day! Today I'm lighting up a fatty for all the amazing ladies in this space.

For the longest time I felt unhappy in cannabis. After multiple failed attempts at #cancelculture coming for my career, I questioned if this is a community I want to be part of. As the pandemic picked up and I started to speak my truth, I realized I wasn't alone.

So today is a big THANK YOU—a thank you to the ladies (and gents) who've made me view this space as a community again, a thank you to the women who acknowledge we are free to disagree, and most importantly, a thank you to the friends who've supported me through thick and thin. I seriously wouldn't be where I'm at without you.

The biggest threat to women in weed isn’t corporate cannabis or white men, it’s the toxic collectivism of cancel culture and female bullying. This plant is meant to unite us, not divide us. So to all my females (and female plants), this one's for you. 🍁🙏🏼❤️

    Yesterday marked my sharing of 1,000 posts on Inst Yesterday marked my sharing of 1,000 posts on Instagram! Ok, it’s probably been a few more than that when you account for flagged and deleted posts. Either way, it’s been quite the journey and led me to reflect on all the amazing grow visits I’ve been fortunate to experience over the last 5+ years. So to celebrate #WeedWednesday I’m sharing a few of my favorites — the photos that started it all, when we didn’t have silly algorithms or battle shadow bans. Ok, lots and LOTS of weed certainly helped. A huge thank you to all the farms who’ve made this journey and so many posts possible. Who are some farms you’d like to see me photograph in my next 1,000 posts!? 🍁🙏🏼📸 #cannabess

    #ad — I still vividly remember my first time hit #ad — I still vividly remember my first time hitting a VOLCANO in college, so when @storz.bickel reached out to partner on their handheld MIGHTY+ I couldn't wait to try this top shelf dry herb #vaporizer. It heats up in 60 seconds, has dual batteries and if you're busy like me, can supercharge 80% in 40 minutes. I've used dry herb vaporizers in the past and some alter the taste of your product, this device doesn't do that. The MIGHTY+ has a ceramic coated filling chamber and easy-to-use temperature adjustment, for herbs that are a perfect hit. It truly is like a VOLCANO in your pocket, or in this case, on my piano. It'll have you playing "Dank the Halls" at the holiday party this year! 🎹💨 #cannabess

    Before I worked in weed, I didn't notice a differe Before I worked in weed, I didn't notice a difference between strains. For the most part, they all and smelled the same. However, once I got my start in a grow I began to view pot from a biology POV. Just like lilies, roses or orchids, cannabis grows in many different structures and smells. But when you see buds laid out like my visit to @lazybeegardens, it really highlights the uniqueness of each strain. If you could only pick one, which would it be!? 🍁😍📸 #cannabess

    This #Thanksgiving I have a LOT to be thankful for This #Thanksgiving I have a LOT to be thankful for: a #career I love, a roof over my head, a solid circle of friends, legal weed to smoke and the BEST parents a girl could ask for. Seriously, I wouldn't be where I'm at today without the love and support of @maryjoabatt and @wilrbyers. Not only do my #parents support what I do, they even help with my creative process. A couple weeks ago I convinced my mom to participate in this @specialkglass shoot styled by @theredclutch, and over the weekend my dad helped inflate 100 balloons, set up lighting and even took creative direction on an upcoming campaign. Sometimes they ask questions about social media, and my mom still can't believe how I pay my bills, but they're here for me every step (bong rip, joint or dab) of the way. I hope everyone has a great holiday surrounded by loved ones, good food and great herb! ❤️🍁💨 #cannabess

    I could make some joke about "how much weed I need I could make some joke about "how much weed I need to deal with family over the holidays." The reality is, I've got an awesome extended family and can't wait to see everyone. Besides, the judgmental few already excluded us due to our 💉💉💉 status, but they probably couldn't handle discussing how cannabidiol inhibits SARS-CoV-2 replication and promotes the host innate immune response anyway. Talking politics at Thanksgiving — yay or nay? 🍁😜💨 #cannabess
