Why the Pandemic Pushed Me From Pot to Politics

May 11, 2023

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.

A Very Groovy Smoke Sesh with Budmaster

May 8, 2023

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

March 30, 2023

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.

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

October 30, 2022

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

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

October 24, 2021

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.

Girls Day at Lake Ingalls with PLUGplay

October 14, 2021

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun with PLUGplay in Washington State

PLUGplay takes fun seriously. So when they reached out to parter on their Washington State launch I didn’t hesitate to go hiking. One of my favorite things to do is play in the mountains. The Pacific Northwest is packed with scenic smoke spots and cannabis keeps me plugged in on the trail.

I called up my friend Keti, a fellow wander babe, who suggested Lake Ingalls. Its vibrant fall colors pair well with pot, which amplifies the epic views. We filled our bags, loaded the car and definitely couldn’t forget the plugs for an unforgettable day with PLUGplay. As an added bonus, Sarah—a fellow cannabis creative—just moved from Michigan to Portland, so she met up with us too for her first Washington State hike.
