Tips for Boycotting Shitty Weed with JM Balbuena
Vital Information! PLUS, over 10 events for September !

What is downtime when you’re up?
How are we holding it together, ragazzi? I think I ask that of both myself and you, the audience, every time I sit to write, because I can feel us all going through it. Sometimes, even with that empathy, we can’t even break through ‘it’ and connect. We try and fail, but we should never stop trying. Keep connecting, in person, online, wherever and whenever.
As I get ready for some planned medical leave, I wanna leave you with a PILE of fun events, and some expert advice to BOYCOTT SHITTY WEED from one of San Diego’s only Black and Latinx dispensary partners of color, Navy vet and author JM Balbuena. Plus, there’s a few more cooling gear reccos as we’re not out of the heat yet.
Before we get to the FUN— I want to send some encouragement to all of you, no matter your circumstances. We can’t ignore the mechanism that carries us through this world—our bodies. It can be so, so, hard to do things like exercise, eat healthy (when we can 🙈 or feel like it), make that doctors appointment, schedule that teeth cleaning, or any of the other constant needs of owning a bod, but I’m here to report that even in the deepest throes of chronic pain, fighting for my body and mind was somehow still possible. Don’t give up!
I’m sending just one missive next month, so keep an eye out.
NOW FOR THE FUN!
LATEST WORK: Can You Get Cannabinoids From Stuff Besides Weed?
Look, I can’t tell you enough ways or reasons to stop being scared of cannabis—or at least cannabinoids.
If you can’t consume for legal reasons or something similar, get some tips to achieve similar signaling of the endocannabinoid system, something you have whether you smoke weed or not. 🌈

OK, This is a Cheap Ass Way to Stay Cool
If you can’t abide by a neck fan, maybe you can be on team cooling towel. I got these for a beach trip and have been using them for workouts, hikes, long walks, and protecting hotspots from getting too much sun. While you can get other textures and colors, I love the breathability of these poly towels, they stay moist and cool for a long time, and even in 87 degree California canyon heat.

New favorite sunscreen alert!! Because you can WHIP IT and its soft, luscious, spreadable, smells amazing, and I can’t rave enough about it.

GROW YOUR OWN!!
Support cannabis brands and orgs that stand behind social justice, equity and the culture of cannabis - compassion, community, and advocacy are super important, and the reason we’re all here. Educate yourself about the history - from commercial use to racist exclusion
Get your weed from women - we need more representation - women in cannabis created our own table, and are letting other women sit at the table, the plant is feminine, after all.
Know things, and if you don’t, ask the right questions, be intentional with your consumption, this way you can ask educated questions.
Invest in a high end experience - you can eat it, it works transdermally, as a topical, there’s cannagars, rose covered blunts, you name it! But don’t shortchange yourself, and always know your dose.
BONUS: Advocate! Advocate for laws that allow the brands to cater to the consumer, not to politics. This is a consumer product, but it’s also a medicine. We have legal weed because medical patients needed it.
