oliticians have dragged their feet and lined their pockets while the people suffer, treating cannabis like a threat instead of the medicine it is. They’ve stalled progress, criminalized communities, and ignored the science staring them in the face. But no amount of corruption or cowardice can erase the truth that cannabis heals. It’s not a trend, not a vice, not a talking point. It’s medicine, and it belongs to the people.

THE FACES OF CANNABIS

Venessa Gonzales (Ness) Venessa Gonzales, also known as Ness, like many others in this industry, started from humble beginnings supporting local businesses, uplifting small brands, and cheering for the underdogs. “That’s always been my heart: helping others succeed, pursue their goals, and realize their dreams.”

What began as simple community support turned into something much more meaningful when Ness connected with Ziggiez LLC (@ladyziggiez on Instagram).

Ness started out volunteering with their CBD division and eventually grew into the role of Tucson distributor. Through that journey, she was also blessed with the opportunity to become a brand ambassador for Mohave, which has opened even more doors and relationships within the cannabis space.

Being involved with companies like Ziggiez and Mohave has allowed Ness to be a part of something much bigger than herself. “I’ve watched the growth, witnessed the grind, and I am constantly inspired by the collective dedication within this community,” Ness said.

“I love what I do, and I’m beyond proud of the strides we’ve made. But what excites me most is what’s still to come. The path ahead is full of possibilities, and I can’t wait to keep building, healing, and striving together.”
