Conversations with Maryjane

Ed found the power of cannabis as a result of a Parkinson’s diagnosis. Like most individuals treating conditions, Ed needed a particular strain, in a particular dose, all the while being a clean medicine.  Out of an understanding of what the medical cannabis patient needs, District Cannabis was born. 

However, Ed has a past and it involves Ronald Reagan, a name that causes more than just an eyebrow raise to anyone who knows even a little about the War on Drugs.  

While I am left with more questions about Ed and his thoughts on what fair and equitable future in cannabis looks like and what the license holder’s role is in correcting the past and the damage, I felt like this was a great start. 

This interview is a great look into what a license holder thinks the place of “the legacy market” is in the now “legalized market.” “They” belong in the ancillary businesses. From their mouths they will say “we are only where we are today because of them,” and yet, that is not reflected in their actions. 

This is not the first time I have heard this sentiment. I took a class fall of 2018 at AACC. The class was Cannabis and Entrepreneurship. There, week after week I listened to license holders echo a very similar sentiment. You can listen to old podcasts of them saying exactly how they feel about us. 

I am hopeful that Ed is one of those true cases of a changed heart that leads to greater action. 

Enjoy the conversation.

On this episode I talk to Patrick Wilson founder of Anteedote X Consulting. Patrick’s mission is to connect the cannabis community while providing education, compassion, and empathy.

The magic of cannabis comes when you figure out what combinations of terpenes and cannabinoids work for you.

It was a few months into my cannabis journey when someone taught me the art of journaling. I just used my notepad on my phone and while it worked, I was missing important information like Batch Number and a picture of the flower. Tetragram does exactly what my notepad can’t!

Enjoy this conversation with Otha Smith III CEO and founder of Tetragram. 

Episode 22 is all about passion and conquering fear. Iesha starts the story when she is pulled over one night by the cops. Thank you Iesha for sharing so that we can learn!

New segment “Where’s my blunt” is introduced.

Season 2 starts with Tracey Miller EVP of Peake ReLeaf and President of MDMDA.

Today is a very special episode! I invited 24 of my friends to sesh with me and we shared our most favorite cannabis moments. After 3 days of stories, my heart was full and fuel was added to my fire. In this episode we welcome Karly Ziegler.

4/20 - not only the day but the entire month of April 2020 - was poised to be one giant celebration of cannabis. We know the power of coming together and passing the joint to the left. That connection we feel standing among new friends is something that I’m missing, especially this week! One reminder as we celebrate this week: we have brothers and sisters that sit in jail and prison for the very plant that has now been deemed ‘essential’. We must get back to fighting for the legislation and laws that reverse the decades worth of damage!

Happy 420 everyone! 🛑 Puff Puff Don’t Pass
