Welcome to Send Us Flowers, the weed podcast that brings you the best vibes. In this episode, we are joined by MJ Gibson, an inspiring woman who is tackling sexism with her new project "It's The Mayo For Me", one sandwich at a time.

Through her work, MJ has started important conversations about rising anti-women rhetoric and policies. In this episode, she shares with us the catalyst for this project and sheds light on some of the most contentious topics surrounding expectations of women.

MJ also shares what sandwich she would name after herself and how it reflects her current views.

We explore the power of sandwiches as a medium to create change and MJ's vision for the future of her project. She shares with us the challenges and triumphs she has faced so far, and the important lessons she has learned along the way.

Join us as we embark on an important conversation about sexism, women's rights, and the power of sandwiches with MJ Gibson on Send Us Flowers.

Does Hollywood "get" stoners? You'd think so given half the writer's room is absolutely lit. Is the representation on point or sensationalized? There were some parts of That 90s Show that I wasn't 100% bought in. And this goes for many new TV shows, movies and other media. I asked on Instagram what friend's thought about the sesh scenes in That 90s Show and TV in general. And did I get some spicy responses! Huge shout out to highlyangie, keenan.eli, jonnapemb, wholetmebeamom, brookemaryz and cannasci.hi for leaving comments! Thanks to everyone else who also shared their thoughts. Let me know what you think in the comments!

this is so unserious LOL

HUGE THOUGH! I released my FIRST EVER High Times piece for the Weirdos series about weed shaming! Hilariously, everyone of course took to the comments to weed shame. Amazing.

So I interviewed my bong to see once and for all - did she inhale?

Have you ever been weed shamed? Sound off in the comments!

Special thanks to Natasha of Not 4 Nothing for voicing My Bong! 

Fresh flowers are here! Welcome to the latest episode of Send Us Flowers! Today I'm chatting with the badass entrepreneur Susie Plascencia, who's not only empowering women but doing it with style.

She's got launches and new drops for both the glass and flower brands she has built, Humo and MOTA Glass.

Susie might be building an empire but she's keeping it quality. Her flower broke barriers by winning awards at the first state fair to include a cannabis competition. Susie is a true champion of female empowerment and her Latina identity.

We'll also be discussing what weed is best for your period! And terpenes to look out for. That's right, we're diving deep into the world of cannabis and its benefits for women's health.

So sit back, relax, and get ready to laugh and learn as we chat with Susie Plascencia about all things empowerment, entrepreneurship, and getting high on life (and some really good weed). Don't miss out on this one on the weed podcast that curates the best vibes.
