OPINON: Cannabis Industry Must Stand Up to Hate and Ignorance

By David Rheins It is Election Day and I’m feeling nervous.  The 2022 midterm elections are predicted to swing to Republicans, who may wrest control of both the Senate and the House of Representatives if the MAGA movement continues to build popular momentum. The economy is bad.  Inflation is out of control.  The stock market Read the full article...

Hempy 2014!

I started 2013 with a basement full of weed and an empty bank account. I don’t know of any Seattle growers that actually got rich from growing pot this year. I think a lot of us unemployed corporate types who were laid off saw the opportunity to work for ourselves until the state could figure out what to do with the future of medical and voter approved recreational pot.

Cannabis IS medicine and we have a God-given right to have access to it. Dispensary “donations” were my main source of income in 2013. I make half of what I used to back in my VC-funded days, but I don’t care. Money is not it. Helping people, and loving what you do on a daily basis where it’s at, man. The meaning of life is to be of service to others. Working

While we’re close, and speak on the phone every week, we haven’t seen each other 1:1 for a while. I’m freaking out because I think she’ll have an aneurysm when I tell her how I’ve been paying my bills the past three years. Garden of Eve The time has arrived for me to come out of the Pot Closet to my mother. How did I get here? I was laid off from my event-planning job while dating a “normal-looking” guy, who owned his own landscaping business. “Larry” also happen to own a basement full of marijuana plants for extra spending money (on prostitutes, as it turns out, but that’s a different blog post). He taught me everything I know about being a Pharmer -- from cloning and transplanting, to providing my babies with the proper nutrients and watering techniques.  I learned a lot – about the miraculous cannabis plant, and about the lying, cheating asshol
