Countdown to Boston is on! Can’t wait to show off the evolution of the Gratitude Gallery. I’ve got a bunch of never before seen cannabiscapes to show as well as pieces from some of my favorite industry artists. There will also be giveaways, more on that later. Shout out to Rama Mayo for starting the Gratitude Gallery at Hall of Flowers and blessing the east coast expansion. The gallery raised over $2500 for prisoner commissary accounts at the fall HoF in Santa Rosa- can’t wait to see what New England can do! This project wouldn’t be possible with Grove Bags support- if you need the best packaging in weed, Grove is the place. See ya at NECANN !

Ohio’s adult-use cannabis market is at risk before it even begins. Just months after voters approved legalization, lawmakers are fast-tracking bills that could gut the industry, eliminate social equity programs, cap THC, and impose heavy taxes on both businesses and consumers. This is about more than regulation — it’s about respecting the will of the voters and ensuring Ohio’s cannabis market can thrive. That’s why Beard Bros Pharms and the Ohio Cannabis Health & Business Summit are hosting an urgent webinar to explore the real-world impact of SB 56 & HB 160 — and what the industry can do about it. Moderated by: Lenny Berry Panel: Fadi Boumitri Ariane Kirkpatrick Emilie K. Jim Ickes Join us, stay informed, and let’s talk solutions. ??? Friday, March 7, 2025, 9a.m. PT/ 12p.m. ET ??
