7 Famous Cannabis Icons You Need To Know

Cannabis has been on one crazy ride for about 100 years.

From cash crop to prohibition, demonization to quiet acceptance, and then legalization in almost half of the US states—it’s been a rollercoaster. Throughout it all, certain cannabis icons have been not-so-quietly standing up for weed.

Some worked really hard to change minds about cannabis. Some proposed changing cannabis laws, some rallied in support at every win, and some sang about it. Others made incredible contributions where cultivation and cultivars were concerned. Check out seven famous cannabis icons we have to thank for cannabis as we know it today.

1. Greg “Chemdog” Krzanowski

Chemdog has been called by a lot of names, but one to remember is “The Father of Kind Bud.” Krzanowski is a legend in cannabis for mainstreaming the ever-popular Chemdog strain over 30 years ago. That single strain is behind some of the most well-known, award-winning strains on the planet, including Sour Diesel. During the 2015 Colorado Cannabis Cup, the flagship strain Chem Dog achieved a major milestone as the first strain to enter with over 30 percent THC.

2. Snoop Dogg

The D-O-Double-G has never been shy about professing his love for cannabis in his music. He even wrote a smokable songbook, no joke, complete with pages that could be used as rolling papers and a match strike on the spine. However, over the years, Snoop has grown from spitting smooth lyrics about green to being an all-out activist. He’s been an active supporter of the cannabis legalization movement for years, but also teamed up with The Cannabis Freedom Alliance, and is ever-quick to express the benefits of legal weed.

3. Martha Stewart

Most may know her as the Queen of Cookies, but Martha Stewart and Snoop get along for good reason: they are both all about cannabis in their own unique ways. In 2019, Martha was a keynote speaker at the World Cannabis Congress, and she recently released her own line of hemp-derived CBD products.

4. Willie Nelson

Willie and weed have just gone hand in hand for a lot of years. The famous country-crooning toker, also known as The Ambassador to Weedville, has been outspoken about his support of cannabis for much of his career. Nelson claims that one of his primary goals is to destigmatize weed, which he has worked tirelessly to do. Nelson launched his own line of cannabis a few years back, known as Willie’s Reserve.

5. Cheech Marin and Tommy Chong

Made famous for their comedic roles in movies like Up in Smoke, Cheech and Chong are perhaps two of the most recognized icons of cannabis. While their careers were built around delivering smoke-inspired laughs, both Cheech and Tommy have moved on to be major supporters of cannabis legalization.

6. Jack Herer

Often recognized as “The Father of the Marijuana Legalization Movement,” Jack Herer is the man behind the famed strain. Herer is thought to have kickstarted a new way to look at cannabis in his book, The Emperor Wears No Clothes, which was published back in 1985. But he also worked hard to gather signatures to get legal weed in California and spent much of his life arguing for the decriminalization of cannabis.

7. Bob Marley

Bob Marley treated cannabis as a way of life and a means of spiritual connection, often touting the plant for its ability to push him into a creative mindset so he could write music. Throughout his career, Marley paid homage to cannabis, but he also fiercely opposed criminalization due to the plant’s healing abilities that he firmly believed in.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄 ⁣ Which is you Happy National Mushr00m Day! 🍄
⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
