October Welcome

Welcome to October of 2020. If you’re reading this, congratulations.  You’ve now survived 10 months of the most apocalyptic year on record. That’s 83%. You’re almost there and little worse for the wear. Good on you. And guess what?! We’ve all been wearing masks for six months already. Halloween’s gonna be a breeze.  

 

Being that it’s October, let’s go ahead and get the obligatory “stock up for Christmas” rambling out of the way. Honestly, if you’ve maneuvered through the chaos of 2020, we’re pretty sure you’ve got such basics on lock.  Just in case though, here you go: People buy lots of stuff in December. Make sure you have stuff they want to buy. 10-4? Cool. Let’s move on.   

 

Far more important than the standard Holiday prep-talk (see what we did there?) is our responsibility to ensure that you’re informed on the DEA’s latest move to cripple our industry. Hopefully, you’ve been paying attention and you already know what’s afoot. If you don’t, that’s OK. We’ve spelled it out in detail for you on page [insert page number]. Give it a read and help us push back against the maneuverings of our age-old antagonist. This is important.  

 

Meanwhile, enjoy the rest of the issue and keep on keeping on through the madness. We’ll catch you on the flippy.

It’s been several months since President Donald Trump signed an executive order to reschedule cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III within the Controlled Substances Act (CSA). On paper, the recent executive order, entitled “Increasing Medical Marijuana and Cannabidiol Research,” is a huge step in the right direction for cannabis smokers across the country.
For years, we’ve been told that this industry is the Wild West: a place where the only law amounts to whatever the guy with the gun says. But over the last 12 months, state governments have passed a spate of new regulations that promise to swap the relative lawlessness of poor enforcement of vague rules with real law and order.
With a last name like hers, it’s only fitting that Liz Grow ended up in the cannabis industry. Born and raised in Texas, Liz returned to her home state almost a decade ago to start Grow Haus Media with her husband, producer Patrick Pope.

For years, Jennifer Mansour felt them coming. “You can’t stop one,” she said. “As soon as I’d notice that the lights felt a little too bright, I knew I was done for. I’d tell my boss, and then I’d get in the car and pop on my sunglasses because I could feel another one coming on, and I couldn’t do a thing to stop it.”
