The Culture

We often write these pieces to highlight the achievements of Black people in the cannabis industry, and those achievements are often within the industry, Tito Jackson is no exception.

People like Dr. Macias serve to help legitimize cannabis as a medicine for patients and consumers in need of alternative solutions to pharmaceuticals.

Few stories have been told like Devin Alexander’s of Rolling Releaf in Massachusetts. Devin was arrested for possession in high school back in 2011. The local newspaper printed his name, labeling him a weed criminal. His dreams of joining the Air Force were destroyed.

It’s hard to miss Vladimir Bautista and Ramon Reyes in the cannabis industry. These two know how to make a wave and be noticed. They run their own media companies on top of their cannabis brand, Happy Munkey: the Happy Munkey Podcast, Munkey Magazine, and Happy Munkey TV.

A recurring difficulty we face in writing these pieces is that we have a propensity for choosing figures that are very hard to encapsulate into a brief explanation.‍ In fact, you can go to Amber E. Senter’s website right now and find that there is no one way to describe her.

There are very few true power couples in the cannabis industry. However, if you had to compile a list, you’d likely have Jeanette and Jesce Horton right at the top of that list.
