Ditch the two party paradigm and vote Libertarian

Tonight marks the second Democratic presidential debate. While most Americans gear up for 2020 by fighting over the two-party establishment, I can’t. I believe our country needs a third party, one that promotes liberty, limited government and bodily autonomy. That’s why I am a loud, proud, pot smoking, freedom loving Libertarian.

After college, I spent a year in socialist China and it changed my life. Living overseas woke me up to issues like the US national debt, government spying and suppression of free speech. China represented a turning point in my life, and it’s why I’m so vocal about politics today.

Pearl Extracts is one of the first processors I worked with upon entering the i502 industry. They ran material for Western Cultured, before transitioning their focus to sungrown cannabis. Fast forward four years, and I feel blessed to call them one of my clients.

Diving in to Summer with my Favorite Cannabis Swimwear

It’s no secret I love swimwear. One-pieces, bikinis, solids or prints — if it’s swimwear, I’ll take it. Last fall I shared a new cannabis swimwear line called Mary Jane Swim. I instantly fell in love with their long-sleeve one-piece, so couldn’t wait to share their new 2019 line.

What stands out most this season is Mary Jane Swim now makes more than cannabis swimwear. Co-founders Stacey and Diane have expanded to include their cannabis prints on leggings and workout bags. Don’t ask how (ok, it was 85 degrees and we smoked a few joints) but we forgot to photograph the leggings I hiked here in. Alas, they’ve got the same cute swimwear prints now on leggings.
