Social Equity in Cannabis Matters

Social Equity in Cannabis Matters

Walking the talk in cannabis social equity isnโ€™t an easy task. Everyone involved in cannabis has an opinion about what social equity means and what needs to be done to right the wrongs done by cannabis prohibition and overzealous policing. As we see it, social equity acknowledges that systemic inequalities exist in our industry and community. A successful social equity plan and program works to eliminate the inequities and ensures that everyone has access to opportunities and positive outcomes.

Cannabis and Outdoor Adventuring

Cannabis and Outdoor Adventuring

The hot summer sun, majestic fall colors, glistening winter snow, and the rebirth of spring give us SO much opportunity to enjoy outdoor adventuring with cannabis. Thereโ€™s nothing like getting outside and moving your body with a nice clean high. Since youโ€™ll be in a different environment, the rule to follow is โ€œstart low, go slowโ€ with any type of consumption. We believe outdoor adventuring is more pleasurable with cannabis, but getting too high could make you the main character in a cautionary tale.

The Indica vs. Sativa Paradigm Is No Longer Relevant

The Indica vs. Sativa Paradigm Is No Longer Relevant

โ€œIndica or Sativa?โ€ This question about cannabis has dominated weed conversation for quite some time. People often use these plant references when discussing the type of experience desired from your flower. However, when describing a cannabis strainโ€™s effects, the sativa or indica comparison is flawed; sativa and indica only represent the physical plant, and plants donโ€™t necessarily determine the psychoactive effects of the strain.

LGBTQ Pride Month and Cannabis

Youโ€™ve probably noticed that we proudly fly a Pride flag from the front porch of Pharmhouse Wellness, and for us, itโ€™s more than an expression of support for the LGBTQ community. Itโ€™s our way of saying thanks to the queer community for what it has done for us.

Cannabis Tourism in Michigan

Cannabis Tourism in Michigan

Almost every day at Pharmhouse Wellness we meet people who are traveling here looking to buy cannabis. While more and more Midwestern states are legalizing, people from Indiana, Ohio and Wisconsin turn to the Mitten for legal cannabis. Michigan is also one of the few states with a reciprocal medical marijuana programโ€”which means people who hold med cards in another state are welcome to shop here in Michigan.

A Great Match: Cannabis and Food Pairings

Grams and Jams

Grams and Jams

Why do music and cannabis work so well together? For starters, weed brings you into the moment, so youโ€™re completely present with the music. Secondly, marijuana provides you with the perceived expansion of time so when youโ€™re listening to music you can really get lost in it which can be a meditative experience.

GRow Journal: September 2021

You may have heard the analogy that being in the cannabis industry is like being on a rollercoaster. Iโ€™m here to certify that analogy is indeed true! One day you feel on top of the world with a new opportunity or achievement in front of you, the next day you find yourself miles away from that euphoria, surrounded by seemingly insurmountable barriers.

By law, in Michigan, weโ€™re each allowed to have up to 10 ounces of cannabis in our house at any given time. And if youโ€™re lucky enough to have 10 ounces of flower, you need to make sure itโ€™s stored to maintain maximum potency and freshness.
