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.
