“Even though I didn’t know it, I’ve always been part of the LGBTQ+ community. My mom, who lived her life mostly hiding who she was from our family, was able to create a wonderful community around us that was full of love, support, and a lot of FUN!! This year’s Studio 420, Throwback PRIDE Brunch, is more than just a party; it’s a tribute to the strength and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and a celebration of the progress we have made. So come and dance with us as we rejoice in the spirit of love and acceptance, and embrace our true selves with pride and joy.”

“Marching proudly in the New York City Pride parade in 2006 was a transformative moment for me as a lesbian woman. It was the first time I waved that rainbow flag high, feeling unapologetically proud of who I am and the community I belong to. Pride isn’t just about visibility; it’s about celebrating our authenticity and honoring those who paved the way for us to live openly and authentically. We’re excited for our event, paying homage to Studio 54 with an immersive experience where cannabis and LGBTQAI2+ pride intersect, celebrating in style and solidarity. We support spaces where freedom, expression, and inclusivity reign supreme.”

In a significant step forward for their restorative justice-focused approach in the expanding cannabis industry, 40 Tons, a pioneering multi-state social equity brand known for its relentless advocacy for individuals with past cannabis convictions, has unveiled an exciting partnership with Minny Grown, Minnesota’s esteemed cannabis innovator. Together, they are rolling out an exclusive line of hemp-derived delta-9 THC gummies, marking 40 Tons‘ ambitious entry into Minnesota’s legal market and its first venture into the direct-to-consumer space.

Crafted with a unique blend of flavors – Root Beer, Sour Lemonade, Mango Orange, and Mojito – these edibles are more than a nod to 40 Tons‘ innovative spirit; they symbolize the diverse and often unconventional journeys of those affected by cannabis-related legal challenges. “We consciously chose some unconventional flavors to symbolically acknowledge the non-traditional pathways of life that justice-impacted individuals and families experience,” stated Loriel Alegrete, CEO of 40 Tons, emphasizing the brand’s deep-rooted commitment to advocacy and community support.

This launch is not just about bringing top-quality THC products to consumers; it’s a testament to 40 Tons‘ multifaceted approach to social impact. The brand continues its advocacy with a unique letter-writing campaign, inviting customers to connect with inmates by sending digital or physical postcards, thereby fostering a sense of community and support for those still trapped within the system.

“We’re not just entering a new market; we’re setting a precedent for how brands can integrate social impact into their business model,” Alegrete highlighted, pointing out the importance of this milestone for both 40 Tons and the wider community of social equity brands. Echoing this sentiment, Zach Rohr, CEO of Minny Grown, shared, “Our collaboration with 40 Tons is rooted in a shared vision for societal betterment and creating meaningful change through our local communities. This partnership is a powerful step forward in addressing social injustices and showcasing unity among brands committed to equity and reform.” The launch also opens doors for wholesalers and distributors in Minnesota, providing a unique opportunity for local engagement and support. “Our approach is to be a national brand with a local heart,” shared Corvain Cooper, Chief Brand Ambassador of 40 Tons, underscoring the brand’s commitment to community-focused partnerships and advocacy.

As 40 Tons and Minny Grown pioneer this innovative venture, they not only offer consumers a new way to experience THC but also pave the way for a more inclusive and justice-oriented cannabis industry.

After 41 years of serving the community, Emily’s Bakery, a Santa Cruz landmark, closed its doors. A new cannabis dispensary, The Hook Outlet, in partnership with WAMM Phytotherapies will soon occupy the space. The project, led by local entrepreneurs Bryce Berryessa and Kyle Giorchino, prioritizes compassionate care and community engagement. However, it faces local resistance due to its proximity to a school.

Berryessa and Giorchino, known for their community-centric approach through their other dispensaries (The Hook Outlet in Capitola, Watsonville, and Treehouse in Soquel), partnered with WAMM Phytotherapies, a non-profit dedicated to providing affordable cannabis to low-income patients with life-threatening illnesses.

“Our goal is to carry on WAMM’s mission of service,” says Berryessa. “This dispensary represents a chance to provide essential medicine to those who need it most.”

Emily Reilly, former bakery owner and ex-mayor, endorses the project, stating, “I was impressed with Bryce & Kyle’s commitment to responsible operations and community involvement. It was great to work with folks who had done their due diligence…and were ready to commit their time, money, and energy to their project and our community.”

Community Concerns and Responsible Approach

Despite meeting all legal requirements, including exceeding the required distance from schools, the dispensary faces opposition. The Santa Cruz City School Board expressed concerns over potential negative impacts on youth. These concerns have sparked debate about the appropriate distance between schools and cannabis dispensaries.

Berryessa emphasizes its commitment to education on safety and youth prevention, responsible practices, and exceeding legal standards. “We understand the concerns,” says Berryessa. “That’s why we’ve created resources for parents, partnered with community organizations, and are determined to operate in ways that benefit the community.”

Heightened Opposition and Proposed Zoning Changes

The project faces heightened opposition from the Santa Cruz City School Board. The Board is voicing concerns and actively organizing to prevent the dispensary’s opening. Their proposed solution is a zoning change that would create a 2,000-foot buffer zone between dispensaries and schools and areas with high child activity, like parks. This proposal, if enacted, would essentially be a de facto ban on new dispensaries as it would eliminate all currently eligible parcels zoned for cannabis businesses. Notably, none of the four existing dispensaries in the city would meet these new requirements.

While concerns regarding the potential impact of cannabis on youth are understandable, it’s essential to highlight the lack of evidence linking legal dispensaries to increased access by minors.

This heightened opposition raises significant concerns. If successful, it would cause considerable disruption and harm to two well-established local organizations: The Hook Outlet and WAMM Phytotherapies. Both have a proven track record of serving the community responsibly and are fully compliant with all current laws and regulations. They have every legal right to open at their proposed location.

Call for Support and Action

The Hook Outlet and WAMM Phytotherapies, operating within their legal rights, urge the community and decision-makers to uphold existing ordinances and support their mission to provide affordable medicine and community resources. A petition of support can be found here: Support WAMM.

“The acquisition enables Garden Society to scale its product lineup and reach a wider demographic as we amplify the values we believe should characterize the craft community.”

Garden Society, a woman-owned brand renowned for its award-winning edibles, proudly announces the acquisition of Chemistry in an all-equity deal. Through this strategic move, the Sonoma-based company adds manufacturing expertise and expands its categories with tinctures, cartridges and other artisanal products.

“Our brands are connected by shared values like craft legacy and staying true to the plant, yet we’ve traditionally offered different product categories,” says Erin Gore, CEO and Founder of Garden Society. “The acquisition enables Garden Society to scale its product lineup and reach a wider demographic as we amplify the values we believe should characterize the craft community.”

Established the same year in 2016, Garden Society and Chemistry built their brands on a foundation of small-batch production, sustainable farming practices and full-spectrum cannabis products. The aligned ethos allows Chemistry to integrate seamlessly into Garden Society’s licensed manufacturing supply chain and distribution channels in California and Ohio. Both brands will make their East Coast debut this spring in the surging New Jersey market.

“Drawing from our shared engineering and science backgrounds, Erin and I always held a mutual admiration for each other’s brands, and I am thrilled that Chemistry is now part of Garden Society,” adds Roethle, who earned a PhD in Organic Chemistry from UC-Berkeley. “Our synergies and objectives are fully aligned to bring consumers the pinnacle of science and nature working in harmony.”

Started as a bespoke women’s brand nestled in wine country, Garden Society has grown into a nationally recognized company that’s celebrated for its delicious edibles and strain-specific offerings. Chemistry, the company’s first acquisition, further propels Garden Society on its journey to share craft values and products across multiple markets and categories.

CannabisRadio.com has launched a limited series podcast titled “Planting Seeds,” with the aim of educating and enlightening the citizens of Pennsylvania, policymakers, and the business community. This initiative comes in the wake of Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro’s Budget address, which proposed the legalization of recreational marijuana. “Planting Seeds” is distinguished by the involvement of Pennsylvania State Senator Sharif Street, marking the first time a legislator has co-hosted a podcast focused on cannabis. He is joined by Joe Hodas, the Chief Marketing Officer of Wana Brands, in leading discussions that navigate the complexities and potential of cannabis legalization.

The limited series will be available on all major podcast portals including but not limited to Apple Podcast, Spotify, iHeartRadio, Amazon Podcasts, and CannabisRadio.com’s mobile apps.

Today’s Pennsylvania Budget Address saw Governor Josh Shapiro propose adult-use marijuana legalization effective July 1, 2024, which would bring in critical tax revenue and new business opportunities for Pennsylvanians. This proposal is estimated to generate $14.8 million in General Fund revenues in FY 2024-25 with proceeds from the tax to be deposited into an Adult Use Cannabis Restricted Account.

“I’m pleased that Governor Shapiro has made adult-use legislation a priority for fiscal year 2024-25,” said Senator Street. “Our goal is to implement a just and equitable adult-use program in Pennsylvania which can only be accomplished through bi-partisanship, which is why the conversations we are having on Planting Seeds are so essential. “The time to end the prohibition of cannabis in Pennsylvania has come. It is critical we provide accurate education surrounding cannabis reform and what it means for the residents of Pennsylvania. This podcast provides a unique opportunity for our community to be in the passenger’s seat during the process.”

“There are so many important aspects to consider when a state seeks to expand cannabis access, from public safety to reparative efforts,” said Joe Hodas, CMO of Wana Brands. “I have had the privilege to work in the cannabis industry for over a decade. While we witness Pennsylvania’s efforts to become the 25th state to enact a regulated recreational cannabis program, it is compelling to consider the potential and pitfalls of the states that came before.”

Episode One: In the “Planting Seeds” inaugural conversation, Sen. Street and Hodas discuss the challenges of successfully passing legislation and the ongoing stigma and misinformation that still surrounds cannabis for some stakeholders.

• Senator Street on dispelling historical misinformation: “We have legislators who are still talking about the ‘Reefer Madness’ movie … The reality is that we know that addiction to serious drugs like opioids and narcotics goes down when you move toward cannabis legalization.”

Episode Two: Senator Street and Hodas provide an overview of the Pennsylvania Cannabis Decriminalization Bill 1028, which would reduce the charge for possession of small amounts of marijuana to a summary offense.

• Senator Street on the importance of moving this bill through the Pennsylvania General Assembly: “First of all, decriminalization and legalization are not the same thing. Decriminalization is moving recreational cannabis use from being a serious criminal offense to–in most cases–a summary offense. The idea is we don’t need to be filling our jails with people who haven’t done anything other than use cannabis for personal use. It’s a drain on taxpayers’ money.”

Episode Three: Hodas interviews journalist Tauhid Chappel on his work educating newsrooms about how to approach cannabis reporting.

• Chappel on the challenges of reporting on cannabis in a fair and balanced light: “Changing the culture and perception inside a newsroom and working with colleagues who have those areas of authority to make those decisions, especially editorially, is a very hard game. It’s a very long game of trying to address those internal biases and stigmas that ultimately show up in the final product of a newspaper or TV show or digital article. So it really comes down to educating internally and me having to talk to my colleagues and providing and passing on the same information that really unlocked my own mind.”

Democrat Sen. Street is co-sponsor along with Republican State Sen. Dan Laughlin of the Laughlin-Street Bipartisan Adult Use Marijuana Legalization Bill currently under consideration in the Pennsylvania state legislature. More information on the legislation can be found at Adult Use Cannabis (senatorsharifstreet.com). The bill prioritizes safety, and social and economic equity, as well as engages Pennsylvania’s agricultural industry in a way that ensures the vitality of Pennsylvania’s world-class medical cannabis industry while creating thousands of jobs and generating hundreds of millions of dollars in new tax revenue.

As the chief marketing officer of Wana Brands and a longtime marketing professional in the cannabis industry, Hodas brings an experienced and inquisitive perspective to the conversations. Together, the co-hosts are joined by a variety of stakeholders to discuss all aspects of cannabis decriminalization and legalization and the establishment of a recreational market – including cultivation, manufacturing, safety, regulation, and social equity.

About “Planting Seeds with Senator Sharif Street“

“Planting Seeds with Senator Sharif Street” is a thought-provoking podcast that delves into the multifaceted world of cannabis. Pennsylvania State Senator Sharif Street sits down with cannabis industry veteran Joe Hodas (CMO of Wana Brands, North America’s farthest-reaching edibles company). Together, they explore the evolution of cannabis legalization, emphasizing bipartisan support and addressing racial disparities in enforcement. They navigate an industry grappling with its identity, discussing social change versus business goals. The conversation extends to stigma, benefits of legalization, and challenges, including interstate transport. The duo aims to educate on diverse cannabis aspects, from workers’ issues to regulatory frameworks. Action items emerge, including advocating for standardized regulations and supporting social equity initiatives. The show promises insightful episodes unraveling the complexities of cannabis in Pennsylvania.
