I know what Cannabis Career Barbie would look like bc I’ve been creating and working on #dreambigincannabis for a few years now. I would love to show you , the project is in my adobe portfolio. Barbie isn’t just a children’s toy, she is so much more and has had over 200 careers! She most DEFINITELY needs to be represented in the legal cannabis industry. β€œThis Barbie is a cannabis Doctor” β€œthis Barbie is a cannabis lawyer” β€œthis Barbie is a cannabis chef” etc etc. the booth you described sounds hideous and I’m most definitely gonna be a Karen on this one and write that company a nice letter to let them know. How awful and how truly TONE DEAF they have to be! Ty for the awesome coverage and writing on this, I want able to make it this year and I’m kinda glad I wasn’t after seeing this bs. 😑😀🀬

The Ken pop up booth sounds horribly inspired by the red pill shit-gym bro culture that needs to die on the vine of this miraculous medicine. How it was accepted to Hall of Flowers to even have the consideration of normalcy is nothing short of an injustice. Thank you Christina for advocating and highlighting an injustice that causes irreparable harm. The medicine can't host the healing that the cultivator lacks. Thank you for reminding us that the medicine should before anything be cultivated, curated, prepared, and shared with love. I would make the argument that hall of flowers is gaslighting if they don't see the harm in that booth.

I just wanna know what the marketing team was thinking and what message they were trying to convey… ?! Like wtf?! Whatever they are smoking I want none of it!

Love your take, and how you artfully reflect and give a positive example of how to demonstrate ally ship and READ THE ROOM. Turn, whatever disty is in your products, seems like it’s not the vibe. Supporting women in wπŸƒπŸƒd is the vibe!

Great article! πŸ’œ
