Stop the Insanity! A few months ago, the credit card processing company that we had utilized since 2014 decided to drop us as customers stating that we "faciliate the sale of cannabis." And, the State of Nevada has made it clear to all marijuana establishments that they are not allowed to run advertisements that "promote the consumption of cannabis." Let me clarify, credit card companies that we pay high fees to do not want us promoting the sale of cannabis within the legal industry and our own state that collects millions of dollars in tax revenue does not want us promoting the consumption of cannabis. Come on, what are we doing here? This reminds me of the time, back when we first started this magazine that someone said to us "You should maybe consider changing your name so you don't offend people." That was back in 2014. And, here we are four years later, with a cannabis consuming population that cannot be stopped. This plant is medicine. People are tired of consuming dangerous pharmaceuticals. And consumers of all walks of life read this magazine. No, we should not change our name, and no, we should not stop promoting the consumption of cannabis. What we should do is continue educating people about the plant, and its healing aspects. We should continue introducing consumers to products and companies that can help them. And, we should continue stirring up conversations about cannabinoids and terpenes while showing people that they can heal themselves. Have a friend or relative that is yet to be on board with cannabis? Hand them this magazine or take them over to one of our licensed dispensaries. Whatever you do, do not stop talking about it. Enjoy the last month of summer!
