Reflecting on 2023 for New Years Eve

How is it New Years Eve 2023 already? Heck, 2020 seems like just yesterday. Time really is flying by. As I reflect on the past year, I feel so blessed.

2020 and 2021 left me exhausted. In 2022, I moved to the mountains. In 2023, I reconnected with my creativity, spent time in nature, worked with some of my favorite brands, and expanded my video editing knowledge.

I look back at the last 365 days and feel really accomplished. I’m ending my year on a high note, and I look forward to what 2024 has in store.

Five Years Running a Cannabis Instagram

March 2, 2021

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.

Cannabis Decade Recap

December 31, 2019

Smoking My Way through the 2010’s with a Cannabis Decade Recap

I’ve barely begun typing, but already reminiscing on the last decade brings me to tears. If you told me ten years ago I’d be a successful cannabis business owner living in Seattle, I would’ve laughed. At that time I still smoked black market weed from friends who could get it. My oh my, how things change. So as we blaze into the roaring 2020’s, I’m excited to do a cannabis decade recap highlighting the last ten years that brought me where I am today.

2010 started out smoke free. After all, I lived in China. Today I’m pretty gutsy about smoking around the world, but there’s some countries I just won’t risk. Prior to my move overseas I watched “Locked Up Abroad” and joked with friends I wouldn’t fare well in Chinese prison. So for half of 2010 I remained cannabis free. Until I moved home in June 2010.

Feel Elevated with Skullcandy

April 14, 2019

There’s a lot of noise in the cannabis industry. It’s one reason I turn to Skullcandy. I recently partnered with them for their 12 Moods campaign and April’s mood is, you guessed it — ELEVATED.

In a world of basement dwellers, Skullcandy wants you to be elevated in their new Elevated Olive line. These Venue Noise Canceling Headphones do just the trick. They feature Active Noise Cancelation (perfect for loud gardens or labs), Bluetooth Wireless, 24 hours of battery life and best of all, Tile’s Find Your Headphones feature for those stoney moments you misplace them. As if the features aren’t enough, this month’s mood also comes with an elevated accessory bud kit for all life’s, ahem, essentials.
