Understanding that something like a marijuana plant has such a complicated and empowering relationship as a commodity form begs the question of how many other lenses this can be filtered through. Read more ?? https://lttr.ai/AYcDy #Cannabis #Commodity #Legacy #Business

Although here at Major Bloom our budtenders can attest to the fact that the quality matches the price point, there’s no denying the gentrification of cannabis as it hits retail floors across the nation. Read more ?? https://lttr.ai/AYX5Q #Cannabis #Commodity #Legacy #Business

?? We’re in the final stretch for critical cannabis delivery regulation changes! Huge shout-out to the equity businesses that have led this fight over the years, juggling business operations with the relentless push for fairer rules. Many have swapped business hats for advocacy headbands, enduring countless regulatory meetings to open doors in this industry. As we strive to break down barriers in weed delivery, we’re seeing a familiar pattern: equity businesses lead the charge, and eventually, the benefits ripple out to all. This “spillover effect” or “crossover justice” echoes back to the civil rights movement, where advances made by marginalized groups created a foundation for others. To the dedicated players—Your Green Package, KindRun, Rolling Releaf, MAJOR BLOOM, Delivered, Inc, Green Flash Delivery LLC, Gas Bus—your work should be honored. If others benefit from the groundwork equity businesses have laid, these delivery licenses must remain exclusive, with no expiration for when the general market can apply. We’ve put in the work. Now, let’s protect what we’ve built. https://lnkd.in/eE8YM3J7

To my friends and network here, I have an ask: Munq is looking for your help to win "Best Video Production Company" from the Worcester Business Journal Best of Business awards! Last year, we were ecstatic to receive this award. It truly marked a new chapter in our business - we went from a new and upstart agency to a familiar face in the area we love. Years of relationship building, networking, goodwill and good people showed up for us when it mattered. We are humbly asking once again for your support. Why this award? Over the last year, we have grown in scope, scale, impact and intention. Munq is reaching new heights, ones we could have never even fathomed when starting almost 4 years ago. Last year's award spoke to our body of work and how we make our clients feel after working with us. We were the underdogs last year, and this year still feels no different. Winning the award this year would help solidify our presence in our beloved Worcester County and demonstrate that last year's recognition was not a one off. Our vision from the start has been unwavering: uplift the entire entrepreneurial ecosystem here in Worcester and challenge the status quo of branding and marketing in our region. Our promise to our network, friends and colleagues is to continue that pursuit with every fiber of our being.
