Stop and Smell the Wildflowers

July 25, 2023
Idaho wildflowers photo shoot

Don’t just smell the wildflowers, smoke them too

Do you ever meet friends on Instagram and they turn out to be just as wonderful in real life? I have, and can’t wait to share the story of my wildflowers photo shoot with the talented Justin Krompier. Justin shoots predominantly landscape and lifestyle photos, but his portraits of wanderbabes in the mountains caught my eye. So when he and his van were just passin’ through Wallace,  I jumped at the chance to work together.

One of the things I love best about living in the mountains is the abundance of wildflowers. From May through September colors change from white and yellow to pink and purple. Flowers like foxglove, daisies, lupine and wild sweet pea cover the hills. I’ve tried lifestyle content with my camera on a tripod, but it’s never the same as working with a photographer, especially when it comes to cannabis content. So for this shoot, I knew exactly the hill for the perfect golden hour light.

Why the Pandemic Pushed Me From Pot to Politics

May 11, 2023
pot to politics

The pandemic made me question my place in pot so I joined the team at Reason

COVID is officially over. Last month President Biden signed a resolution to terminate the national emergency related to the pandemic and just days ago the World Health Organization declared an end to the global health emergency. After three years it’s beginning to look like life before COVID, but for many people life has changed forever. I’m one of those people.

During Covid, I saw the cannabis community I know and love transform into something I never fathomed. It’s no secret I was skeptical of government mandates. However, the backlash I faced for speaking up broke my spirit. The wrath of cancel culture impacted my income. I watched women bully women for beliefs in medical freedom. I felt anxiety every time I opened social media. I simply couldn’t do this anymore.

The pandemic and subsequent erosion of freedom made me feel like I need to use my voice for more. I set a goal to get at least one paid gig in the political realm and it turned out to be so much more. In September 2021, I went from pot to politics and joined the team at Reason.

Budmaster terpene-infused cones

Rolling Around with Budmaster

What’s perfect for rolling and packs a punch? No, it’s not my friend Courtney’s VW Beetle. It’s Budmaster’s terpene-infused blunt wraps and cones!

We recently rolled around Richland for a very groovy afternoon. As someone who packs a lot of cones, I couldn’t wait to give Budmaster a try. These smooth, slow-burning papers elevate any trip, even if it’s just around your hometown.

Feel the Love with Bud Love

Bud Love herbal mixer

Bud Love makes bud better

Do you ever mix other herbs with your favorite flower? I love to create herbal blends with my cannabis consumption. The combination of terpenes not only gives your hit a unique flavor, it also provides a more calming high. So when Bud Love asked me to try their new herbal mixer, I couldn’t wait to experience how it makes bud better.

Before I smoke anything, I need to know what’s in it. Bud Love is made up of marshmallow leaf, which is an ancient medicinal herb, CBG and terpenes. There is no cannabis or nicotine in these blends and it is nothing like spice. To help you spark assured, all ingredients and finished products are lab tested. Customers can even check their package’s certificate of analysis online for added peace of mind.

Washington State politicians want to ban high-potency cannabis concentrates

All the State’s Problems Have Been Solved, So Politicians Now Target Cannabis Concentrates

Politicians who don’t understand cannabis concentrates are attempting to regulate cannabis concentrates, and this time it’s happening in Washington State. You won’t believe these bills.

HB 1641 is an act to address the public health challenges of high-potency cannabis products.

Mt. Baker Gardens

Take a Tour of Mt. Baker Gardens

A while back I found myself specifically not allowed at an i502 event. I was so bummed because after more than year of COVID, I looked forward to connecting with the cannabis community again. When I posted about my experience on social media, Mt. Baker Gardens, one of the event’s sponsors, reached out. They didn’t know about this treatment so extended an offer to come tour their facility.

I’ve met the Mt. Baker Gardens team at past events and always enjoyed their energy, so gladly accepted the offer. This indoor grow produces award-winning flower, pre-rolls, infused pre-rolls and concentrates. However, if you smoke solventless extracts, their hash rosin is a must-try.

Paris Cannabis Co Throws One Helluva Halloweed Party

Paris Cannabis Co’s Light Up Halloweed Party

Over the last seven years, I’ve attended my fair share of cannabis events. Only a few have been blasé and most are a great time. But then there’s events like Paris Cannabis Co‘s Light Up Halloweed party, which will go down as one for the books.

Location is everything and I loved their Halloween decor. Good beats from DJ Sarkis Mikael set the vibe. A high quality guest list brought positive energy. And finally, no event is complete without a ton of cannabis. I connected with several Washington brands and lots of wonderful humans, for an all around unforgettable evening.

Let’s Talk Mental Health

October 12, 2022

Are we in a Mental Health crisis?

October is Mental Health Awareness Month. October 6 is National Depression Screening Day. October 10 is World Mental Health Day. With all the focus on mental health, you’d think society thriving. Instead, Americans struggle more than ever.

For over two years the pandemic isolated us. Political polarization divides us. Inflation contributes to financial stress and the endless scroll of social media leaves society in a constant state of comparison. Is it any surprise we are mentally sick?

Why I Moved to an Illegal State

June 29, 2022
illegal state Idaho cannabis

During the pandemic, my priorities shifted so I took the plunge and moved to an illegal state

Hello blog readers, it’s been a while! After seven years in my home state, I said “so long” to cannabis-friendly Washington and made the move to an illegal state. Now I’m off to get highdaho in Idaho.

I landed in Wallace, Idaho, a historic mining town with a population of (now) 961 people. It’s nestled in the Silver Valley between two ski resorts, Silver Mountain and Lookout Pass. The entire town could be a movie set. In fact, they filmed Dante’s Peak here.

I passed through Wallace a couple times on past trips, but something about the town kept drawing me in. It’s quiet. The air is fresh. I can leave my bike on the porch without a crackhead stealing it. Small town living is the life.

Hot Tub Boating with Airo Brands

Airo Brands is the Buzz in Washington State

Years ago, maybe four or five, my friend Masha told me about a new vape company. She made a dirty joke about the pen vibrating, but in all reality it hit like a champ. That was my first introduction to Airo Brands and one I still remember to this day.

At the time, it felt like revolutionary vape technology. Magnetic cartridges paired with branded batteries in a convenient travel case we hadn’t seen before. Over the course of the next few years I often vaped these oils, whether by myself or with friends. So when Airo Brands reached out to partner for Washington State content, I couldn’t wait to buzz around South Lake Union in a hot tub boat.

    How does a woman living in an illegal state sandwi How does a woman living in an illegal state sandwiched between two legal ones travel from hike to hike in confidence? I keep my stash stored safely in @picktulip!

It has everything I need for my mountain adventures: Flower jars with @bovedafresh packs, doob tubes, a rolling tray, and compartments galore for my OCD organized ways. Seriously, I love how my Tulip box looks when it’s fully stocked.

Best of all, this lock box helps me exercise my Fourth Amendment rights should I get pulled over (which I did BTW). If an officer wants to search it, they can “get a warrant.”

Whether you occasionally push the legal limits, are a parent who wants to keep your stash secure, have roommates known to snag a nug, or just like to keep everything organized, Tulip is the new and chic way to store your stash.

How do you store your herbs and accessories? Head to my stories to see more and tap the link to shop! 💚🌲🌿 #Cannabess

    Come with me to @LazyBeeGardens, a sun grown farm Come with me to @LazyBeeGardens, a sun grown farm in Winthrop, Washington.

What I love about Lazy Bee is their unique genetics and commitment to sustainable practices like amended soil, no processed nutrients or fertilizers, and surprisingly little water.

I’ve been coming here since 2016 and am always impressed by their growth. What started as open air fields the team manually light-dep’ed by pulling tarps has grown into gorgeous greenhouses with an extended grow season.

When I think about the future of legalization, I hope there are more farms like Lazy Bee. What does the future of legalization look like for you? 🌿🐝💚 #cannabess

No really, I’m wide awake and this is my reality. I moved to the mountains for mornings like this.

    So… it’s like, drugs? Cannabis is better than So… it’s like, drugs? Cannabis is better than drugs, which is why it should be removed entirely from the DEA’s list of controlled substances.

Last week HHS suggested moving cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III, which would categorize it as a pharmaceutical for legal use and require it to be regulated by the FDA. But guess what? Cannabis doesn’t need to be regulated by the FDA because it never should’ve been illegal to begin with.

Marijuana is more than medicine. It represents healing, happiness, health, freedom and so much more. For too long government has exerted power over this plant, and rescheduling cannabis is just another way for bureaucrats to do that. Moving it to Schedule III isn’t about giving people access to plant-based medicine, it’s about politicians and special interests attempting to profit.

So while some people rejoice at this proposed change, I cringe because I fear what’s coming next—more government regulations, fewer small farms and reduced access to affordable plant medicine. If you agree, contact HHS at 877-696-6775 and tell them NO to rescheduling and YES to descheduling! 🌿✊🏼💚 #cannabess

When AriZona Iced Tea reached out about sending me at 4/20 a gift box, I had no idea it would be such a cute collab. This cup has come everywhere this summer. From riverside smoke sessions to mountain camp trips, it’s a fun little hitter and helps with your cotton mouth too. While I don’t usually drink bong or bubbler water, I’ll gladly drink some smokey AriZona Iced Tea! 🍁🥤💨 #Cannabess

    This #WCW goes out to all the girls at @lazybeegar This #WCW goes out to all the girls at @lazybeegardens! One of the things I love most about this sun grown farm is their standout genetics. Founder @jay2thelazybee spends seasons popping seeds, cross pollenating, and testing strains on a commercial scale. The end result? Some of my favorite genetics on the 502 market.

So while girls save the world, we definitely can’t do it without the guys too! 🌿🙌🏼🌎 #cannabess
