Cannabis Industry Ethics, Mycelium Fashion Statements, and the Fallacy of THCa Compliance
Do ethics count in cannabis? Yes. Yes, they do.
Ethics Count - even in cannabis. The internet was all a-buzz last week after a cannabis CEO was blasted on social media in a candid video bragging about not paying mom-and-pop brands because they likely won’t last anyway. The video sparked outrage and could be even fueling lawsuits. We’ll be watching this case develop over the next several months.
Is Marijuana in Financial Dire Straits? MedMen is also making headlines again for financial faux pas. Olivia Alexander, Founder of Kush Queens is featured in this article on MJBiz Daily, calling out MedMen for non-payment. She stated, “Everyone knows that nonpayment is the single-biggest issue that every brand is facing.”

I don't know about you, but I'm super excited about getting my hands on furniture made from mycelium and rocking a stylish mycelium jacket! 🍄✨ There are some amazing companies out there paving the way in this field. Ecovative Design is one of the prominent names, using the natural properties of mycelium to create sustainable and biodegradable furniture. And let's not forget about MycoWorks, they're working on a mycelium-based material that's just like leather!
Embark on a musical journey with these cannabis-infused tunes! From Afroman's catchy track "Because I Got High" to Cypress Hill's iconic "Hits from the Bong," and Kid Cudi's mellow anthem "Marijuana," these songs pay homage to the beloved green leaf. Let's join Bob Marley in his classic hit and "Smoke Two Joints" together!
Jessica’s Hot Takes
Interesting to see the results of a test done by Colin Clark over on LinkedIn, where he has been trying to produce a legal THCA flower (less than 0.3% delta-9-thc). After strictly adhering to the current regulations…..his samples came back way over 0.3% Total THC...3.2% and 2.5% to be exact. “So is it possible to grow compliant THCA flower? No, no it's not. This will conclude my public service on THCA. It's just making the THCA hustlers upset and just reconfirming what the rest of us already knew.” Clark
Hot new hardware alert in Canada. Motif Labs has just launched a new brand under its umbrella: Rizzlers. This isn't your mom's 510 thread vaporizer; it's an entirely new closed-loop accessory with BIG style and stupid-simple function. Auto-draw activation and super-snappy-magnetic connection, this neon-colored little device has become the talk of my household. We've nicknamed it "The Rizz." CEO Mario Naric and the team at Motif have nailed product and brand development for the new cannabis consumer - Gen Z.
