OTTO™ by Banana Bros

Love a good pre-roll but too lazy to put in the effort? Banana Bros. feels your pain, or, at least, support your avoidance of it. Or, at least, they support your avoidance of the minimal amount of effort that rolling a fattie requires and the pain that could, but most likely won’t result from said effort. You get the idea.

Don’t let the snide tone of the first paragraph get you down. It’s OK to embrace your inner-sloth. Your laziness is what drives technology. Without that consumer psychographic baked into the market, Banana Bros. would never have thought to come up with the OTTOTM, the new gadget they bill as “the world’s first automatic smart rolling machine.” It’s an odor-proof, all-in-one tool, that uses patented “smart grinding” technology to perfectly grind your favorite herbs and automatically fill up to 30 cones on one charge. It’s sleek, ergonomic, and so simple to use, it’s virtually idiot-proof. So kick back, enjoy the new gizmo, and never let the haters get you down for being lazy. Without you, we wouldn’t have the OTTOTM, or for that matter self-driving cars—or even those automatically flushing urinals.

Well done, dear public, and well done, Banana Bros.

I went home and told my girlfriend, who, after Googling the name of the business I bought it from, told me that, yes, it was technically weed. But it was CBD. She started laughing, telling me I had been ripped off.

High Risk, High Cash: The Banking Struggles of Legal Cannabis
State-sanctioned medical and recreational cannabis programs benefit the average user in many ways. Still, they remain a double-edged sword for dispensary owners, greenhouse growers, and others who earn their living from the cannabis industry. There are plenty of profits to be had, sure, but how exactly are you expected to secure your cash or process electronic transactions when banks refuse to work with you?

Building the Best: How the MJBizCon Gets Made
There’s a paradox to business conferences. The best ones manage to swing from buttoned down to wildly unscripted—sometimes seconds apart. For attendees, it’s the combination of personal connections and professional development that makes regular trips to conferences worthwhile. And in an industry like this one, pulling that off is harder than it looks.

Staff Your Shop And Build Your Tribe
Your shop is not only a smoke shop; It's also a hangout spot and a community hub. It is a place where the regulars know your staff by name, and your staff knows what the regulars need. That's the secret sauce that the big-box chains can't replicate, and it starts with who you put behind the counter. A well-staffed smoke shop is an operational strategy, but it's also a community. In lean economic times, that community is what keeps the lights on. When people feel like your shop is their spot, they don't stop coming in when money's tight. They prioritize it. It all starts with Hiring.

Cards Denied: Smoke Shops, Dispensaries, and the Paradox of Modern Banking
It’s almost amazing that the same institutions that brought us the 2008 financial crisis have a problem with selling glass pipes. Almost. The truth is that an industry's past sins are only held against it when the money isn’t right. Big banks were willing to risk cratering the U.S. housing market because the profits were too good to ignore. But the cannabis industry rolls a different kind of paper, so instead of a slap on the wrist, it gets a surcharge.

Print Lives! Why Flyers and Posters Still Work
Smokeshop and counterculture enthusiasts enjoy discovery as part of the experience. Customers enjoy browsing. When they walk into a shop, they don't simply grab a product and leave. They look for something new. This is the main reason flyers and posters still work. Smokeshops and dispensaries are highly visual environments. You want to see bold artwork, psychedelic graphics, and street-style posters that naturally capture attention.
