Need some summer beach reading? May I suggest the story of how cannabis went from the Devils Lettuce to the publicly traded commodity of today? All from the perspective of someone who went through it!

@jennylewis I play your music in my dispensary all the time.

Soooo weed.

@CBTmag Again, the patients of the medicinal market are eclipsed and punished by outdated ignorance.

In 2026 we are still fighting for safe access.

The fight is far from over, despite what many entrepreneurs would have you believe.

@jennylewis @maggiewestrum Everybody knows you are related to Parker Lewis. Simply because he couldn’t lose.

I wrote this article on determining plant sex in the August 2005 issue of @HIGH_TIMES_Mag over 20 years ago. If your seeds aren’t planted yet for the season, what are you waiting for? “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.” - Chinese Proverb

Immigration law doesn’t care that weed is legal in your state.

For non-citizens, cannabis can still carry serious consequences, including visa problems, green card complications, denied citizenship, detention or deportation.

As diners showed up for their $1500 Noma reservations today in Silver Lake, they were greeted with a protest.

@marinashutup reports on the growing number of allegations against René Redzepi, who stepped down from Noma earlier this evening.

@CaliPlug I still have it.

[Oliver Summers @DukeOfPico]

@ganjapreneur16 @CaliPlug Me too! My first post was yelling at the Chief of LAPD regarding dispensaries.

[Oliver Summers @DukeOfPico]

My family was involved in the fashion business of the 70s and 80s. I was first exposed to cannabis as a medicine during the early years of AIDS, as all of our family friends started to pass away.

I saw first hand how it works for people, and I will forever fight for that.

[Beard Bros @BeardBrosPharms]

Before cannabis became an industry, it was a movement built on compassion during the AIDS crisis.

West Hollywood just hosted a conference and screening of Join the Club that revisits those roots.

Did the industry stay true to the mission?

@nuggnotes @CaptainEds For years Galaxy Gallery was the center of LA cannabis owned by Russ and Anthony Cress. Everybody came through their doors at one point or another, and the parties were incredible.

They went on to own California Patients Alliance on Melrose. One of the first dispensaries in LA.

@JimiDevine Another one gone…

[Oliver Summers @DukeOfPico]

@BeardBrosPharms Reminds me of back in 2006 when there was an onsite consumption lounge in Malibu.

CHP would sit across the street and wait for people to leave, then pull them over right away.

Once that happened, the regulars would all leave before the police could regroup.

[Oliver Summers @DukeOfPico]

@ticalofficial @nuggnotes So many. I deal with it everyday.

The next question is packaging date.

[Oliver Summers @DukeOfPico]

@kenbensinger They stood outside my dispensary a few years ago.
