Welcome – March 2020

Welcome to March, fellow Heads on the Quest. Glad to see everyone survived the bleakness of the winter months, now gloriously giving way to the warmth of spring. Likely, you’re still recovering from CHAMPS, which literally just ended a few days prior to this issue hitting your mailbox. We hope your recuperation is coming along swimmingly and would like to take this time to encourage you to get your rest, stay hydrated, and next round, maybe consider orthopedic shoes. Let it never be said of us that we don’t care about our readers.

That being said, keep the R&R to a minimum. April’s around the corner, which brings with it the annual hell week where the dreaded tax deadline and your customers’ favorite made-up holiday for some reason fall within five days of each other. Why the gods have seen fit to put these two events in such close proximity is a mystery requiring minds greater than ours to solve, but one thing is certain—and that is that you’ll need to be on top of your game. No doubt, you’ve amply prepared for both, but surprises always happen, so stay limber.

In the meantime, we hope you enjoy what we’ve prepared for you within the pages of this, our latest issue. We’ll catch you in April.

A registered nurse with a background in critical care and travel nursing, Sammie became a frontline healthcare worker in 2020, working in COVID ICUs across the country. As a result of that work, she was diagnosed with PTSD, survivor’s guilt, and insomnia. “The doctor wanted to give me a lot of prescriptions, but I already felt numb,” she says. “I needed something to bring me back to myself. So I chose a different path: the cannabis route.”
Before you pop the champagne (or, in my case, spark the bowl) on New Year’s Eve, don’t forget to tie up any remaining loose ends with your business. Unfinished tasks could cost you thousands if left dangling for too long, so start the New Year off right by taking care of any unresolved issues before January 1st.
There’s no holiday more prone to mythmaking than Christmas. Across our TVs, stories enshrine ridiculous origins to modern traditions, cartoon characters regularly save the holiday from the forces of grinchdom, and modern love flourishes for career women stuck in small towns. But these yuletide concoctions aren’t merely dessert; they’re flavoring added to medicine. Our stories cover up an uncomfortable truth: many of our holiday traditions stem from pagan revelry that included everything from psychedelics to orgies.
