Lowrider Magazine holds a deep cultural significance, particularly within the Chicano and Mexican-American communities, as it chronicled a lifestyle that combines automotive creativity with cultural pride. Founded in 1977 in San Jose, California, by Larry Gonzalez, Sonny Madrid, and David Nunez, the magazine became a pivotal platform for the lowrider car culture that emerged from the barrios of Los Angeles and spread across the U.S. Origins of Lowrider Culture Lowrider culture originated in the post-World War II era when Mexican-American veterans, returning from war, started modifying classic cars, lowering them to ride low and slow, and decorating them with unique artwork and accessories that often reflected their heritage. The custom of modifying cars became an expression of identity, defiance, and artistry, turning the vehicles into mobile canvases that celebrated Mexican-American culture and community. Founding of Lowrider Magazine Sonny Madrid and his co-founders saw an opportunity to document the growing lowrider movement that was thriving but largely overlooked by mainstream media. They wanted to give a voice to the Chicano experience through a magazine that captured the essence of lowriding, both as an automotive hobby and a cultural expression. The first issue of Lowrider Magazine hit the streets in 1977, primarily circulating among the West Coast Chicano community. From the outset, the magazine was unique in its portrayal of not just cars, but also the values, struggles, and aspirations of the Mexican-American community. It highlighted local car clubs, featured lowriders with intricate paint jobs, and often showcased the accompanying art of pinstriping, murals, and custom upholstery that made each car a reflection of its owner's identity. Cultural Impact Lowrider Magazine quickly became more than just a publication—it became a cultural institution. It gave visibility to an entire movement that was often marginalized and misunderstood. Lowrider cars, with their customized hydraulics and vibrant paint jobs, became symbols of pride, resistance, and cultural expression. In addition to the cars, the magazine also featured models, often Chicanas, which sparked both celebration and controversy. While some criticized the objectification of women, others saw the models as representative of Chicana beauty, strength, and femininity. Throughout the years, this aspect of the magazine reflected the evolving views of gender, race, and representation within the community. The magazine also served as a platform for addressing issues of social justice, politics, and identity, covering topics that resonated with Mexican-American and Chicano readers. The pages of Lowrider Magazine became a reflection of the Chicano Movement's goals, which were centered around civil rights, cultural awareness, and self-determination.

“Closed mouths don’t get fed on this boulevard!” - Ace Hood ?? Hustle Hard The phrase "closed mouths don't get fed" is a popular idiom that highlights the importance of speaking up and expressing one's needs and desires. If you don't ask for what you want or need, you are unlikely to receive it. ??? This simple yet powerful message encourages individuals to take initiative, communicate effectively, and advocate for themselves in order to achieve their goals. In many ways, "closed mouths don't get fed" can be considered a call to action, urging people to overcome their fear of rejection or embarrassment and seize opportunities that may otherwise pass them by. Whether in personal relationships, professional settings, or social situations like the gentlemen at the side of the freeway exit in my video ?????? , the ability to express oneself clearly and confidently is a critical skill that can lead to greater success and fulfillment. By embracing the wisdom of this timeless phrase, individuals can learn to open their mouths, ask for what they want, and ultimately create the life they desire. ???? Mari y Juana?

From a simple idea 8 years ago to a formidable player in the cannabis scene, Mari y Juana? Inc. This flashback to our beginnings is a solid reminder of the passion and grit it takes to progress and navigate an emerging market. Our story certainly is backing up the "10-year rule," the notion that it takes about 10,000 hours of hard work to become a pro in any field. As we approach that milestone, it’s become evident that it truly takes time to craft a brand story and ethos into something that resonates with the market. Overnight success takes many moons! Mari and Juana have certainly aged well since their inception, however ?????? #MariYJuana #DrinkMJ #SmokeMJ #GrubMJ #marijuana #cannabis #cannabisbrands #marijuanabrands #CannabisIndustry

“Success lies in relentless execution of the basics.” - Leonardo Da Vinci It’s the obvious things that we sometimes overlook. Mari y Juana? Inc. is taking it back to the basics, taking it back to focusing on what got us name brand recognition three years ago. When we first launched the brand in 2021, our ?Mota Mix!? michelada cups are what garnered attention from the market. It led to Ave Miller reaching out and introducing me to my business partner and Mari y Juana? Beverages Co. award-winning ?? product formulator Matt McGinn. We are taking that product’s success, enhancing the user experience by giving them other uses for the same chili-powder mix, providing the shops with a very low cost, yet, high margin SKU offering that will take up little space next to their registers, and doing so with no other competing product type in sight. Think Tajin? but on cannabis-infused steroids ???? Will there be well-funded groups and brands that will come in and try to replicate what Mari y Juana? Foods Co. started when the idea ?? was first imagined in 2016, that of catering to this sleeping giant ???? of a market demographic, hungrily awaiting some proper representation? Sure. Undoubtedly, they will come out of the woodwork. Will they be able to come close to replicating the authenticity and originality that MJ has brought and will continue to relentlessly bring in the cannabis space? ?No way José! ?????? #DrinkMJ #MJBeveragesCo #MJFoodsCo #Marijuana #CaliforniaCannabis #CannabisBrands #CannabisEdibles #CannabisInfused #CannabisInfusedEdibles #CannabisInfusedBeverages #CannabisDrinks #CannabisInfusedDrinks #CannabisNews #CannabisInvestors #CannabisCommunity #MarijuanaFoods #MarijuanaBeverages #CannabisBeverages #Cannabis #CannabisIndustry #CannabisBusiness

The game hasn’t changed, it remains the same. What has changed are the rules of engagement. The days of making “fast” money in the cannabis game are over. I recall at one point lbs. fetching as high as $6,400 and they were still wet ?? ?? The game now is the long game. Who can outlast this famine. Which brands and companies can sustain the brutal onslaught of taxation, oversupply, slim to none capital investment, competition that is fighting over the same scraps as most, fighting to survive. “Only the strong survive.” - Charles Darwin “Survival of the fit, only the strong survive.” - Prodigy, Mobb Deep And it’s not just a physical strength that’s needed, it’s more so a mental fitness that is a prerequisite for any survival. “Mind over matter’s what matters.” - The Grouch feat P$C The key to making it to the next stage in this game ?? is to continue to be creative, to keep reinventing the brand, strengthening the core ideologies, and focusing, with blinders on, on the road ahead. Knowing that discipline will see you through and that after the torrential rains, there’s a pot of gold at the end of that rainbow.
