Rastafari Rootzfest Awards Peter Tosh at 27th Annual Festival

Posted on by The Queen of Clovers

Thanks to the eight states who have now legalized marijuana, nearly 1 in 5 Americans can now enjoy legal weed. Those who are happily smoking legalized marijuana today are lucky, but they also have many advocates for legalization throughout history to thank. Peter Tosh, the legendary reggae icon, is one of those people who helped paved the path to legal weed. Because of his contributions, he was given an award by Jamaica’s 27th Annual Rastafari Rootzfest festival. Continue reading Rastafari Rootzfest Awards Peter Tosh at 27th Annual Festival

Croptoberfest 2016 [Event]

Posted on by ElevatedOwl

This year’s Croptoberfest in Yakima, Washington celebrates the past, present and future of the newest agricultural economy in Washington: the cannabis industry.

When: November 19, 2016, 10am-7pm

Where: 52 North 3rd Street, Yakima, Washington

What: The 3rd annual Croptoberfest will feature: an educational seminar on the future of the agricultural promise of cannabis, a cannabis expo and an after party. Croptoberfest plays off of the classic “Octoberfest” which celebrates beer and hops in all of its forms. Croptoberfest is a chance to come together to celebrate the new and beautiful cannabis industry.

According to Croptoberfest, “We find ourselves in a tremendously exciting time in history. Never have we seen a prohibited plant that holds so much value to today’s economy be released from the chains of the mis-education that over seventy years of propaganda have delivered our society. We launched Croptoberfest to assist in these efforts.”

Who: Adults 21+ can come to meet cannabis producers, processors, retailers and industry leaders in a variety of platforms. The educational seminar will feature many distinguished speakers such as Joe Beckerman, Principle of Hemp Ace International and longtime cannabis agriculture activist, Dr. Alan Schreiber President of Agricultural Development Group, Inc. which provides independent research and consulting services to agriculture industries, and Jedidiah Haney who founded Evergreen Industries SPC.

Slaying Stoner Stereotypes: Seattle 420 Games Recap

Posted on by The Queen of Clovers

The first ever Seattle 420 Games fun run aimed to change the perception of cannabis and the people who use it.

There’s a common misconception about weed smokers that they’re lazy, un-motivated and un-ambitious. However, this couldn’t be further from the truth; marijuana enthusiasts are vibrant, artistic, business-driven and lead an active, social lifestyle. This year’s 420 Games aimed to prove this stereotype wrong, and their first ever Seattle 420 Games this past weekend was a delightful activation that showcased the spirit of cannabis smokers, and combined it with the athletic vibe of a 4.20 mile run/walk.
