Aeriz Arizona Facility Tour

Take a Peek Inside Aeriz, an Arizona Cannabis Grow

On a recent Phoenix trip I got an opportunity to visit Aeriz, an aeroponic indoor cannabis grow. However this isn’t just any indoor grow, and it certainly isn’t just any tour host. Aeriz marks my first Arizona grow tour, and I can’t wait to tell you all about it.

Before I delve into tour details, let me share some backstory. Social media is an amazing place. I’ve known people online for years and never met. Yet it’s awesome to support their work and see channels grow. My Aeriz tour guide Jason, also known as @hip2thecrop, is one of those people. A great grower, talented photographer and #PlantsOverPills advocate, I feel so fortunate to tour this facility with a longtime cannabis creative.

Best Place to Smoke Weed

High in the North Cascades at Heather Lake

My friend Keti and I recently set out to hike Lake Serene. After a few stops for coffee and gas, I plug in GPS and follow the map. Well, somehow the map takes us to a past hike and we find ourselves at the Heather Lake trailhead.

How? Seriously, did I not pay attention? Didn’t I pick the right location? At first I felt so mad at myself but everything happens for a reason. Lake Serene is a beast of a trail. We got a late start. Keti is slightly hungover. I guess this is the universe guiding our day!

Seeing Green at Emerald Jane’s

Remember the delicious Emerald Jane’s rosin I recently photographed on my Granite Falls cabin trip? Well after emailing those photos to their team, Emerald Jane’s extended an invite to their facility. You know what I did next? Scoop up that opportunity faster than a dab of their solventless!

I first learned about this indoor grow I worked for a company called Grassworks Digital. In fact, we toured their old facility in 2016. However, a lot has changed.

Emerald Jane’s specialize in small-batch, craft cannabis. I love to smoke their frosty flower, but it’s the solvent-free Cookies and Cream rosin which has me hooked. I cannot wait for a behind-the-scenes look at their new farm.

Please Mind the Mess at Baker Hot Springs

Lately I’ve done a lot of hot springs hunting. From Oregon to Idaho and now back to my home state of Washington, I love to check these scenic locations off my list. It’s why I couldn’t believe the mess at beautiful Baker Hot Springs.

My friend and talented photographer Keti tipped me off to this hot spot. After dodging endless potholes up a windy road and we arrived to the trailhead. So what did we see?

Grow Your Own with Seedsman Cannabis Seeds

I recently visited the home grow of my best friend’s Papa for Seedsman. Papa home grows for his Parkinson’s Disease. It’s one of many reasons access to quality genetics is so important.

Seedsman’s mission is to preserve cannabis genetics for future generations. They believe a diverse gene pool makes the plant less susceptible to disease and pests. It also provides a larger scope for research. Most important though, a wide array of strains means more access to medicine for the people who need it most.

Kick Back with Caliper in an Idaho Hot Springs

Lately I’ve worked long days, late nights and weekends. It’s safe to say I’m slightly stressed. So when Caliper reached out to sample their CBD, I knew just what to do. Kick back and relax in an Idaho hot springs.

I’m always on-the-go, which is why these portable 20mg packets are convenient for travel. We drove seven hours east to a small town near the Sawtooth Mountains. Air temperatures in the teens and water temps over one hundred, I couldn’t wait to decompress with Mother Nature’s best — CBD and hot springs.

Five Years Running a Cannabis Instagram

What I’ve Learned After Five Years of a Cannabis Instagram

“Do people call you Cannabess?”

“No, but they’re about to.”

It is this very conversation which sparked the idea of a cannabis Instagram and absolutely transformed my career. Five years ago I kicked off @imcannabess, completely unaware what lie ahead.

Since then I have connected with countless producers, processors, retailers, ancillary brands and cannabis creatives all looking to make a difference in this space. I feel so blessed for the opportunities over the years but more important, the lessons learned. So today I want to share what I’ve discovered after five years running a cannabis Instagram.

Sip CBD Cocktails and Soak up the Sunset at Amara Resort

To celebrate my dad’s 71st birthday we spent a week in Sedona. We made sure to soak up the sun, see the sights and sip CBD cocktails at Amara Resort and Spa. The resort’s SaltRock Southwest Kitchen is a must-try for breakfast, lunch or dinner, but definitely drinks.

Since entering the cannabis industry, I’ve found my alcohol consumption on the decline. So I couldn’t wait to try these boozy CBD cocktails. SaltRock’s master mixologist Danny made us three infused concoctions, each unique in its own regard and absolutely delicious.

    When #FourthOfJuly becomes Fourth of Jul-HIGH! It’s no secret this holiday is centered around alcohol which leads to blackouts and bad choices. It’s one of the many things I love about cannabis. I can smoke all day and still remember the day’s events, it doesn’t make you throw up (unless you’ve eaten too many edibles), and there’s no morning-after regret due to drunken choices.

It’s wild to me that in 2022 alcohol is so widely accepted but in many states, it’s still vilified. So today, celebrate your freedom and spark up a fatty. After all, our Founding Fathers didn’t fight the British over a three-percent tax on import tea so the federal government could outlaw a flower. 🧨🍁🇺🇸 #cannabess

    Rolling into Fourth of July weekend with a little Rolling into Fourth of July weekend with a little red, white, blue—and green! While in my hometown last weekend @courtneyjette reached out to see if I wanted to take photos. I always love working with this talented photographer and stylist, so said "heck yes" to a summer-inspired shoot. 

In less than 24 hours Courtney pulled together a couple patriotic looks and brought this vintage roller girl vibe to life. I've been going to "adult skate night" at the Richland roller rink the last few months and man, this outfit really has me itching to go back. I was also told I look like a character on @strangerthingstv, which wasn't intended with the styling but I'll take as a compliment.

While we didn't see Vecna, we did get absolutely annihilated by mosquitos, which might also explain why I'm itching... Either way, 14 mosquito bites are well worth it for our roller skate summer collab. I haven't been in front of the lens lately so this adventure is exactly what I needed to get those creative juices flowing again.

Where are you smoking for the holiday weekend and any tips to keep mosquitos away? 🛼🇺🇸 #cannabess

    Hello Instagram, nice to see you again! My two-wee Hello Instagram, nice to see you again! My two-week hiatus turned into two months, and here's the reason why. After seven years in my home state of Washington, I said "so long" to the expanding socialist dumpster fire and in May made the move to Wallace, Idaho. 

The pandemic put a lot of things in check for me. I saw friends, family and businesses I love cave to authoritarian vaccine mandates. Politicians used the Federal Reserve to print $5 trillion in new debt which devalued the dollar further and drastically increased food prices (along with pretty much everything else). In the city, store shelves sat empty due to fears of supply chain shortages. I watched as both Republicans and Democrats perpetuated the divide felt in this country. I realized so many of the things we live for on social media don't really matter. AT ALL. So I packed my bags, peaced out, and headed for the hills. Well, more like the mountains...

Wallace is a historic mining town with a population of (now) 961 people and is nestled in Idaho's Silver Valley between two ski resorts. The entire town looks like a movie set. It's quiet, the air is fresh and I can leave my bike on the porch without concerns a crackhead is going to steal it seconds later. Small town living is the life.

You probably wonder how a woman who works in weed can move to an illegal state, but that's another post for another day. I'll just say I don't fear prohibition in Idaho and defiance of unjust laws runs in my blood. Heck, Wallace had brothels operating until 1986, so the state isn't as conservative as some might think!

I look forward to exploring my new state, sharing its rich history and blazing every step of the way. If you find yourself on I-90 between Spokane and Missoula, shoot me a DM. I'll be here, possibly playing dress-up, probably biking mountain trails and absolutely puffing fat clouds. Idaho, you already feel like home! 🌲🍁💨 #cannabess

The fashion industry is one of the worst polluters of our planet which is why I am excited to see more companies look towards #hemp. @BoIdealClothing gifted me one of their hemp t-shirts and I am obsessed. I love a classic black T, but make it #sustainable with ethically sourced fibers and I am sold. I wear this one on the regular and love the thick fabric, it's easy to dress up or dress down.

    I heard about this drug and guess what? It changed I heard about this drug and guess what? It changed my life. #Cannabis opened career opportunities I never fathomed. It connected me with some of the most amazing friends, creatives and companies. It’s allowed me to not just pay my bills, but become a business owner. Cannabis led me back to my passion for politics. I heard about this drug and realized it’s not a drug, but a plant that represents healing, health, hope and happiness for millions of people.

However, today while we celebrate it’s important to remember the war on drugs rages on. People are still locked up. Police don’t just arrest people for this plant, they use laws to seize revenue of legal producers, processors and retailers. Pot shop employees are at risk of armed robbery because politicians aren’t capable of passing banking laws. Craft  legacy farmers  are being pushed out by major corporations with special interests. We might have legalization, but we still have a long way to go.

Happy 4/20 to the cannabis community, closet smokers and even those who don’t partake but support our right to do so. Today I’m taking a fat dab for you! 🍁🙏🏼❤️ #cannabess

    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. 🍁🙏🏼❤️
