Cannabis is one of the oldest known psychoactive drugs used in cultures around the world for thousands of years for various reasons. From making clothes to being consumed for ceremonial purposes, It’s relatively recent classification as a Schedule 1 Drug in 1970, is but a small blip in its long history.

Since such times, people have been gathering together at the end of a long hard day or week of building pyramids with their nearest neighbors to help soothe their aching bones together. Or, settling in after a long day of ruling large empires with their closest handmaidens to discuss the day, or perhaps days past and FOR SURE, of future days to come!

Well, that's not very scientific is it? I can do better...

Hindus have used cannabis in religious ceremonies as early as 1000 BCE. The plant has been consumed in rituals observing the Goddess Shiva, and during the festival of Holi, when the plant is consumed in a religious drink called bhang.

You see it's been in our nature for a millennium to gather and consume LONG BEFORE we decided to go get high on the 50 yard line!

Now, let's talk about YOU, the present and weed shall we?

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

Most people do not know what’s in the weed they are smoking?!

Even more shockingly, the average consumer does not know how to get the EXACT feeling they are looking for beyond the typical “Sativa or “Indica” – they just can’t get that EXACT feeling they are looking to induce.

Are YOU potentially wasting your money right now?
Are YOU using cannabis and have found relief?
Did you know that you’ve only scratched the surface?!

DID YOU KNOW THAT…

Strain names are misleading and inconsistent, and sadly, most budtenders won’t know or tell you that?

Effects of the various products and individual tolerance truly varies from person to person?

“Sativa” on the streets and “Indica” between the sheets aren’t exactly what you think they are?

Fungus and insects are not safe to consume, are often found in products available at your local dispensary and you should know what to look for?

DID YOU KNOW THAT...

THC percentage does not equal potency does? Actually, let me retype that and put it in bold: THC percentage does not equal potency! It is but ONCE ACCEPT when it comes to determining the effects you are looking to induce!

The examples are endless and here is the problem...your buddy or bro may be able to tell you a fire strain name, but that means absolutely nothing if they had a different dispensary. In fact, an untrained budtender may or may not be able to recommend the best product for your particular needs. They are salespeople and are selling you products under specifications. They can’t tell you how you’re going to feel; they are telling you how THEY felt or how it made OTHER customers feel, not from any particular science.

Consumers today are essentially playing a guessing game with their money, health and well-being, and possibly experiencing unexpected or even negative side effects from a product they are spending a large amount of money on. At any level, whatever the product may be, it ought to be safe and of high quality to provide a predictable and positive experience each time.

So how do we change it?!

TOGETHER!

Gather a few of your favorite people over for an afternoon or evening AND I WILL DO THE REST!

Your little "lit-together" (see what I did there?!) will include educational discussions presented in two different ways, either a sophisticated evening of aromatics and ashes (think a wine tasting but with weed!)! Or if that's NOT YOUR STYLE, perhaps a fun evening centered around a game?! Regardless of the type of event you choose, both events will cover the following topics and more:

• The origins of cannabis, the history of the word ‘marijuana’, and the proper vocabulary to use in today’s industry.
• The parallels between cannabis and wine.
• The strain name dilemma and why percentages mean absolutely nothing unless you are in the dispensary or on the streets. (it’s so confusing. I know!) 
• The beauty of terpene chemistry and how it makes your bud frosty!
• Unacceptable physical characteristics to look for at the dispensary and unacceptable aroma characteristics to remember when smoking flower at home or with your buds.
• The aroma perception technique that will not only blow your mind but possibly change your life - as it did mine!
