Most of us have been smoking cannabis, using tropicals, or vaping openly already or so it seemed in San Francisco. Many had recommendation, some did not but now it doesn’t really matter. Speaking solely as a consumer in this case, cultivators and other markets got hit pretty hard and there’s a lot for them to do or work around in order to flourish in this industry.

It hasn’t been smooth sailing as AG Jeff Sessions tries to convince people that it’s a good idea to go back to the drug war against cannabis when many don’t care and see it as a waste of taxpayers’ money. Recreational also brought long lines and high tax but that’s the sacrifice we have to endure in order to enjoy the various psychological and physiological effects of cannabis usage.

At High Artsy, we’ll focus on the creative and productive mindset of a cannabis user, the artistic culture that comes from it’s embraced reputation, as well as the science and technology within the cannabis industry.
