Kim King Cooper is back at it with another addition to My Journey Through Life With Cannabis, Enjoy! " Riding on the energy from organizing the protest march, I decided to see if I could get support to hold the region's first 420 event that year. I did some advertising to float the idea on social media and picked up some volunteers. Then a few people from the second city in the region contacted me and wanted to participate as well. NOCER would be organizing and hosting the first 420 events ever held in Northern Ontario, one in Temiskaming Shores, the other in North Bay. Since then we have hosted 420 events in five cities, including Smooth Rock Falls, Timmins, and Val Gagne. Several others have now started independently as well." #cannabis #cannabisculture #cannabiscommunity

What does raising a cannabis-aware child look like? Casey & Shilo Renteria are here to share their perspective in the latest Daily Nug 💚 "Present day, my oldest turned eight this year. I’ve gotten the pleasure of watching her grow and evolve into this incredibly smart young (dare I say) activist. Over the years she has been by my side watching the work and long hours that I’ve put into it. She’s seen the stunning art and talented incredibly intelligent people I’ve gotten to meet and talk with. Needless to say, she’s fallen in love with both cannabis and writing. I’ve waited years to find out who she would be and now that she wants to follow in my footsteps it seems like the right time to co-author something and give her a proper introduction to the cannabis community and all the amazing possibilities that exist here." #cannabis #cannabisculture #cannabiscommunity

Daniel Gana (MSc) teaches us about the power of Full-Spectrum Extracts in the latest Daily Nug! 👏🏼 "Scientists have studied this effect and found that using the whole plant for health benefits is more effective than just using single compounds. Whole-plant extracts are especially helpful for conditions like epilepsy, migraines, and multiple sclerosis. By learning how the natural combination of compounds in cannabis works, we can better understand why products that maintain this balance give better results than those made from isolates." #cannabis #cannabisculture #cannabiscommunity

Our Tech Edition that came out last month was filled with some fantastic people and companies doing some cool and different stuff. Our Centerfold Sponsor was Illuminated Extractors and their Managing Partner JD Garrick decided to give us the low down on why highly quality cannabis extraction is important to consumers. Illuminated Extractors envisions, develops, and builds machines that refine botanicals quickly and cost-efficiently. They focus on developing disruptive technologies that function at peak capacity while also focusing on customer support framework to easily guide you through the extraction journey. Highly recommend connecting with them!

LaWann Stribling digs into the DEA Hearing for rescheduling in the latest Daily Nug! "On November 26, I sent an email stating my interest in attending the hearing as a journalist. The response was quick and blunt: “Due to limited capacity in the courtroom, DEA Press spots are for credentialed media only. We are unable to accommodate your request. The hearing will be available for public viewing on www.dea.gov/live.” At first, I felt slighted and dismissed—especially given that Fat Nugs Magazine is the only Cannabis Culture Magazine. Was my publication not considered credentialed? This rejection stung, but I wasn’t ready to let it go." #cannabis #cannabisculture #cannabiscommunity

Rudy Brown 🖊️ tells us about the expanded access to cannabis coming in 2025@! Check it out 👀 "In 2015, the Georgia General Assembly passed the Haleigh’s Hope Act, named for Haleigh Cox, a child whose severe epilepsy highlighted the critical need for medical cannabis access. For families like hers, this law offered a pathway to potential relief. It granted patients with certain conditions the right to possess low-THC cannabis oil." #cannabis #cannabisculture #cannabiscommunity
