Some may call it the Upper Eastside. Some may call it East Harlem. Bliss + Lex call it home. Manhattan’s first Black woman-owned dispensary and a Conditional Adult-Use Retail Dispensary (CAURD) licensee, Bliss + Lex, is smack dab in the middle of everything. 

The store is operated by the husband and wife team, Nicole and Christopher Lucien, and the area inspired everything from the location and name to the store's vibe. 

CashColorCannabis spoke to the two about the store, finding the location, and navigating the CAURD process.

November 5th, 2024. That’s a day that most of us will not forget for one reason or another. That was election day here in America. 

This wasn’t your usual election. To be honest, we haven’t had a typical election in years. This cycle included a debate that ended with Democrats swapping out candidates, an assassination attempt, multiple Zoom calls, and coordinated efforts by both parties to make the other seem like the worst possible choice; the people have spoken. Donald J. Trump is our president again. 

So, we are heading into a second Trump administration. I wasn’t expecting it, and neither were many others. 

Since we are here, let's talk about it. What does a new Trump administration mean for the black community? What about cannabis? What’s the future of the plant under his admin? What about Amendment 3 in Florida and Governor Ron Desantis's role in helping it fail? 

There was a lot to unpack after November 5th. I spoke about these topics with the Executive chair for the Minority Cannabis Business Association, Mike Lomuto, Executive Director of the Marijuana Project, Chelsea Higgs-Wise, Kevin Ford Jr. with the Uplife Maryland and Budding Solutions Shanita Penny. 

This episode was written and produced by Mehka for CashColorCannabis. Assistant production came from Jarell Wall with High Class Ltd. 

Thanks to Kevin Ford Jr, Chelsea Higgs-Wise, Shanita Penny, and Mike Lomuto for their contributions. 

Last, thank you for listening to CashColorCannabis “A Higher Level of Conversation.”

A lot goes into producing an event, especially in cannabis. It's more than finding a place, getting vendors, and inviting people. There is an art to this. Ross, with D.U.I., is becoming a master of this art form. 

If you're in Atlanta, you may be familiar with the signature event, Sunday Service. But it's more than just events with him. Looking towards the future, his plans include teaching the game and not just influencing it. 

We spoke with him about curating unique events and spray packs, why people choose them, educating a new generation, and more.

Since 2016, I've had the chance to speak with people whose lives have changed in many ways thanks to cannabis. Even with all those stories in our library, Linda Solana's story still stands out. 

A longtime cannabis consumer, it was a cancer diagnosis in 2014 that made her look deeper into how the plant can help her past just getting high. 

The Cuban-American business owner found healing in cannabis- which led her to open a business in cannabis Cannavibes in New Jersey. 

We spoke with Linda about the first time she discovered cannabis and how she used it, facing cancer, using RSO oil, and opening her own shop.

One thing about covering cannabis is that you will hear some fantastic stories about how the plant helped someone find a new life. 

Danny Murr-Sloat has one of those types of stories. 

Dealing with a list of health problems, from chronic stomach pains to discovering he had thoracic outlet syndrome and a non-cancerous brain tumor, Danny found himself dependent on pills. 

By 2009, he was on 19 different prescription medications and falling deeper into depression. At the urging of his father, he got his first medical cannabis card in December of that year. After this plant-based treatment, Danny's life began to change rapidly. 

By mid-2010, he had lost 70 pounds and weaned himself off of pain medications completely. 

His newfound love for cannabis would eventually develop into a love for growing cannabis. 

By 2024, Danny had amassed 14 years of experience across the U.S. and Canada, developing his own proprietary genetics and consulting with some of the largest cultivations in the industry. 

We spoke with Danny about his transition from pills to the plant, what he would want to be remembered for, his work with AlpinStash Genetics, and more.
