The Science Behind Edibles
Written By Katie Shoneff
Similar to adding a vitamin/supplement “boost” to a smoothie, a recent uptick is showing brands are now infusing edibles in the same fashion, adding ingredients like Vitamin B12 and magnesium, typically seen in THC and CBD gummy products. A smart business move that also begs questions from consumers: how beneficial is THC and vitamins to the human body? How do we process these ingredients? And what should consumers look for when purchasing edibles for medicinal purposes?
The Power of Cannabis in Achieving Flow State: A Personal Journey
Written By Seibo Shen
Suddenly, I had this urge to do something productive. I grabbed my laptop and started working on a GTM project I’d been stuck on for weeks. What surprised me was how easy everything felt. Ideas came to me naturally, and my focus was razor-sharp. Two hours went by in what felt like 20 minutes, and before I knew it, I’d made more progress than I had in weeks. I’d unknowingly entered the flow state, and cannabis was the key that opened the door.
On the Ground at NCF 2023 with Caroline Phillips

It’s now close to 2pm, and I am making my way to the VIP area, finally. After getting my food, I came closer to Caroline, thinking this would be a great time to approach her for a face-to-face interview.
I then noticed the look of concern on her face and overheard that we have to evacuate. I confronted her face-to-face, and asked her for clarification; “Did you say we have to evacuate the park?” She responded with a yes, explaining that a temporary shutdown is in place due to incoming storms.
With food still in hand, I briskly walked back to the other side of the park to our booth. Before I could even reach our tent, the rain drops began!
Keeping in mind the magnitude of this amazing annual festival, I am happy to report that I was able to interview Caroline Phillips, Founder of National Cannabis Festival after all - to finally speak about this year’s NCF.
Enough. We have to stop using the word ‘strains’

Some of you are gonna be up in arms about this one. I can already hear it. The legacy growers and sellers, the backbones of the cannabis industry for so long, who feel you need to stand as defenders for any attack on “the way things were.”
So I’ll say straight off the bat - it’s not you. It’s prohibition.
Of course we developed rubbish nomenclature for different types of cannabis while it was illegal (or more illegal than it is today), and underground. What choice did we have? How can you label something accurately when you only have an idea of what it contains?!
