Walking the talk in cannabis social equity isnโt 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
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. Thereโs nothing like getting outside and moving your body with a nice clean high. Since youโll be in a different environment, the rule to follow is โstart 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.
Bike โn Blaze
Throughout the summer, the Pharmhouse Pham puts together a Bike โn Blaze! On a beautiful Saturday morning, we meet at the Pharm, toke and mingle, then hit the Kent trails. As a group, we ride through Millenium Park to enjoy the beautiful scenery with a great mellow...
The Indica vs. Sativa Paradigm Is No Longer Relevant
โIndica 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 strainโs effects, the sativa or indica comparison is flawed; sativa and indica only represent the physical plant, and plants donโt necessarily determine the psychoactive effects of the strain.
LGBTQ Pride Month and Cannabis
Youโve probably noticed that we proudly fly a Pride flag from the front porch of Pharmhouse Wellness, and for us, itโs more than an expression of support for the LGBTQ community. Itโs our way of saying thanks to the queer community for what it has done for us.

Select Cannabis Strains for Spring Serenity
There is a time of year that every Michigander looks forward to, and itโs finally here. The snow has melted, the sun is rising earlier and setting later, and people are spending more time outside as the temperature rises and new growth emerges.
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 programโwhich means people who hold med cards in another state are welcome to shop here in Michigan.

A Great Match: Cannabis and Food Pairings
The advent of cannabis cooking shows, like โBong Appetitโ on Vice and โCooking with Cannabisโ on Netflix got us thinking about cannabis and food pairings and how it might work for the every day home chef who wants to make food and cannabis work together.
Grams and Jams
Why do music and cannabis work so well together? For starters, weed brings you into the moment, so youโre completely present with the music. Secondly, marijuana provides you with the perceived expansion of time so when youโre listening to music you can really get lost in it which can be a meditative experience.

You know a bit about weed, right? Yet, someone will drop some cannabis terms now and then, and youโre not sure what they mean.

GRow Journal: September 2021
You may have heard the analogy that being in the cannabis industry is like being on a rollercoaster. Iโm 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.
The Best Way to Store Your Marijuana
By law, in Michigan, weโre each allowed to have up to 10 ounces of cannabis in our house at any given time. And if youโre lucky enough to have 10 ounces of flower, you need to make sure itโs stored to maintain maximum potency and freshness.
