In the eighth episode of Bluntly Us, Ian sits down with longtime cannabis activist and marketer Bess Byers, or Cannabess, to talk about her journey in the cannabis industry from a political activist and commentator to an influential content and marketing creator, and how it’s all come full-circle. Unfortunately, they got way too lit on the hash wrap and couldn't even function!

Bess Byers is the founder of Blaise Creative, an agency specializing in digital marketing for cannabis producers, processors, retailers and ancillary brands. When she’s not at work, Bess can be found hiking, hanging out with her cat Barry White or advancing liberty-oriented issues.
