Hello and welcome to Ganja around the world in 420Today I will be telling you more about what being toking traveler isToking represents two meanings. The first is toking, like smoking weed and inhaling. Then there is a TOKEN, which is the concept of being the only POC in a social, academic, and work settings. Often time you are expected to be the voice of explanation for your entire race or all POC.In my formative years, academically and socially, I was tokenized as one of the handfuls of black students in the honors or gifted programs, my social circles also began to reflect these surroundings. I was seen as one of the exceptions to the rules because, on top of that, my parents were from Haiti and spoke French. White people, in some cases that made use more civilized and closer in proximity to Whiteness that African Americans did not have.Let's look at things now, and I have taken on another form of tokenism through toking. My American passport allows me access to travel around the world and explore the cannabis (toking) cultures. It also allows me to gain entry into cannabis societies that would not be as open to me. Like when I arrived in Spain. I joined the cannabis club in my town. The first thing I noticed was there were no people of color, not even a Moroccan (those are the most common people of color you will find here, especially in the south of Spain).I became a token as an American and also a Person of color. I haven't faced any discrimination and do not entirely believe that the lack of POC's at this club is due to racism but more so a fear of the unknown from both sides.So bringing the concept of toking as the cannabis part and token as part of the privileged role of being able to travel as a Haitian American woman. I want to educate you (and by you, I mean WOC and nonWoC) on this privilege to travel as well as cannabis. I want to explore various ways to consume as well as where in the world, it is easiest to access and how the culture is. I also want to talk about social issues and take on our health.With that, I am going to wrap up this week's episode of Ganja Around the World in 420. I am working on getting some new content like Ebooks and Q&A's, so leave a comment with a review to let me know. You can also find me on IG @toking_traveler_ and go to my website linked below.
