@APStylebook time for my regular plug (going nearly a year strong now!) to try and receive clarification on whether #homegrow is one word or two according to #APStyle. I'll just keep asking until you're ready to acknowledge the #cannabisindustry.

[Marissa Black-Smith @RisTheEditor]

Probably the most proud I've been of America in like ten years 🥦🥲

[Marijuana Moment @MarijuanaMoment]

More Americans Now Smoke Marijuana Than Cigarettes, For The First Time Ever, Gallup Reports: "The future of marijuana use is, I would say, somewhat up in the air, but the probability is higher that its use will increase rather than decrease." https://t.co/zXQNi6PO7V

@NisonCo @FatNugsMag Burn j's down, not your self worth! ☮️

[NisonCo PR @NisonCo]

40-60% of #cannabis employees quit within the first two months, with most citing burnout as a key reason

But how do you identify and manage burnout? Wilfred Maina, @RisTheEditor, and Tori Gates provide their insights

Parents of pediatric medical #cannabis patients often face stigma, lack of access, and even criminal charges

Despite expanding legalization, the failed war on drugs continues to harm families of color disproportionately

In case you were wondering, @APStylebook still hasn't answered my question from December about "home grow" v "homegrow." Don't worry, I'll keep bringing it up until we (I) have the answers we (I) demand.✍️

"We are privileged to be living a dream that could come crashing down on us at any moment," writes NisonCo Account Manager Wilfred Maina in a moving piece about working in the cannabis industry in Kenya.

Michelangelo's estate is going to need some play from this one and these arms are in need of some occupational therapy for sure.

[Marissa Black-Smith @RisTheEditor]

OK so @MerriamWebster can talk about key bumps but @APStylebook STILL won't tell me if "home grow" is one word or two?

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

People are talking about ‘key bumps,’ and so we have a duty to tell you some things about this.

@MorningBrew My undergrad degree was in English, with marketing & classical studies (AKA Latin) minors. I work as the managing editor of an advocacy-centered cannabis marketing agency now. It was nearly a decade before I bothered to line up my degree and job though 🤷‍♀️
