I’ve been fascinated by how the lgbtq & cannabis communities both strategically use “coming out” to advance our agendas. So pleased @weedmapspolicy reposted. Intended to be more wonkish, it turned out to be a love letter to my brother.

[WM Policy @weedmapspolicy]

For both the cannabis legalization movement and the LGBTQ community, “coming out” is an effective way to change hearts and minds.

For #NationalComingOutDay, we are proud to reshare our colleague @CarlFillichio's personal and powerful essay from last year:

[Carl Fillichio @CarlFillichio]

Yeah. . . And he’s right.

[Joe Biden @JoeBiden]

Yes.

Cannabis is usually a slam dunk in the voting booth. But there was nothing usual about the midterms on Tuesday, as my colleague @BTHennessey tells @RollingStone

[WM Policy @weedmapspolicy]

"The election was unlike any other. Traditional adages did not apply. It was the first major election post-Trump and post-Roe recall, & misguided mistrust in elections and results are pervasive. Those atmospherics weighed heavy on voters." - @BTHennessey

Hey conference planners. Want to host a conference that reignites participants’ faith in conferences? A lesson from cannabis . . .

@IngrahamAngle He is a great American. You are an ass pimple.

Badass women changing the world. Thanks for that. #MenWhoDontSupportWomenShouldFuckThemselves

What does #RIPMadeleineAlbright have in common with #WomeninCannabis? You’d be surprised.

[Carl Fillichio @CarlFillichio]

A very nice picture of diligent, intelligent, energetic and attractive people. And me. (And look who couldn’t resist the camera!)

That’s right!

One way we can honor our vets is by decriminalizing marijuana and giving them access to this crucial pain relief. They gave everything for us - they deserve the best care available without fear of losing their job, VA benefits, or access to their Second Amendment freedoms.

Urban legends shouldn’t dictate policy. Nobody is giving cannabis 🍬to trick or treaters & nobody ever got 🍎 w/a razor blade inside. @BTHennessey has 3 kids ages 10 and under. If she’s not buying this crap, you shouldn’t either. #cannabis

I wrote this as part of WM Policy's observance of National Coming Out Day, and explored how the LGBTQ movement & cannabis legalization movement use "coming out" to change hearts & minds. It also turned out to be a tribute to my brother. @weedmaps https://t.co/GOZomNzqpd

I knew this would eventually happen…and I’m thrilled!!!! Who will play the lead role? I think Susan Sarandon would be perfect. Who do you think should portray Frances Perkins in this film? https://t.co/lNqMc85dJa

Think about it; The AIDS pandemic gave us a glimpse of cannabis' irrefutable medical benefits. The coronavirus pandemic provided cannabis its legitimacy.

[WM Policy @weedmapspolicy]

“It used to put people in jail. Now it puts people to work.”

If you want a metaphor for our changing nation, cannabis provides a good one. No issue or idea, industry or individual better exemplifies CHANGE.
