I agree. A Rihanna x Monogram collab would be momentous. However, I see her completely owning her own cannabis venture down line. I think legalization will continue to foster a bandwagon effect of artists collaborating with craft and mainstream cultivators. This will have its pros and cons. Shout out to you for providing the accurate context on the Cookies brand ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿพ, so many people forget that Berner is not the actual grower - heโ€™s still a great marketer but, I definitely would love to see the growers get more shine

Really loved this read & how you have a mini history lesson! I think youโ€™re spot on about Rihanna being the one to bread the mold for the stigma on cannabis. Excited to see how these canna-influencers share their content & how everything can be marketed on a state/ national level but I wonder if itโ€™ll have to be done similarly to how alcohol/ tobacco products are marketed where you arenโ€™t shown the use of the product but more so the feelings that come with using it.

I could totally see that being the case. In a lot of states - use of the product is already banned in advertisements. Most of the time pictures of the product are even banned on certain advertisements.
