I've been advocating for Cannabis Tourism to Oregon for years with events like CBD Summer Camp and my collaboration with the iconic Jupiter Next hotel for a few reasons...
1) Oregon has a glut of some of the best cannabis in the country. And I say that as someone who has spent the last 10 years traveling the country and trying its best cannabis. Because of our terroir, genetics and craft cultivation Oregon easily grows very terpene-rich cannabis. And it's more than we can smoke alone! Oregon has already set up the infrastructure to be able to export once cannabis is nationally legal, so more people should see where their cannabis will be coming from.
2) The laws in Oregon allow us to speak about cannabis in terms that other states are not. A lot of consumers don't realize that some states are limited in the jargon they can use while advertising, or selling cannabis. in Oregon we are allowed to educate about the benefits and the science behind the cannabis.
3) The hundreds of tons of excess cannabis is detrimental to the small farmers of Oregon. When I heard about the suicide rates amongst cannabis farmers in southern Oregon I knew I had to help inform consumers about what makes craft hemp and cannabis and why they should want it. Imagine if Florida couldn't sell orange juice to anyone outside of the state, farmers would have to sell their OJ for pennies on the dollar losing money because of the excess of product and not being able to recoup expenses.
That's what was happening with OR cannabis farmers but with more regulation and less tax breaks.
There was a disconnect between the consumer and the farm that didn't need to be there so I set out to change that. By hosting events all over the country to talk about Oregon Cannabis and Hemp. Even going as far as to create an entire marketplace in a fashion showroom and invite fashion press to speak to hemp and cannabis brands in New York City.
I do this to make a better experience for the consumer, the cultivator, and everyone in between.
This is my way of putting the "We" back in "weed".
