When Joanne Wilson decided to launch Gotham, her flagship cannabis dispensary in New York City, it wasn’t just another business move. It was the culmination of decades of experience in retail, investing, philanthropy, and culture, and a bold attempt to rewrite the narrative of cannabis in America’s most complicated market. “I am the founder and CEO of Gotham,” Wilson told me. “And that is one section of my life.” Sections, indeed. Wilson has been many things: a retail buyer out of college, a media entrepreneur in the early days of New York tech, a prolific angel investor with more than…
Every cannabis consumer knows the feeling. You’ve just enjoyed a smooth joint, a flavorful dab, or maybe a heavy-hitting bong rip, and as you lean back, satisfied, you realize your mouth feels like the Sahara desert. That unmistakable dry, sticky, tongue-heavy sensation we call cotton mouth can crash a sesh faster than a bad playlist. For decades, smokers have been improvising remedies, chugging water, chewing gum, even crunching on an ice cube, but nothing has ever quite felt designed for us. Enter Dr. Buzzkill’s Cotton Mouth Killers, a stoner-friendly innovation that aims at one of cannabis culture’s most notorious side…

The music industry has never been an easy place to navigate. For every breakout story, there are dozens of young artists left wondering why their streaming checks don’t cover the rent or why the viral moment they dreamed of fizzled after a few weeks. That reality is exactly why Sophie Steele, founder of Kopius Media, has dedicated her career to helping musicians build real infrastructure around their art. Sophie’s path to running an agency wasn’t a traditional MBA-to-corporate pipeline story.

When it comes to cannabis regulation, California has long been an example for others to follow. It was one of the first places in the world to allow medical weed, boasting a nascent industry around the plant. Yes, California could have one of the largest cannabis markets in the US (or even the world!)… if only it weren’t for those damn taxes. For years, the enviable size of California’s weed industry has been rivaled only by its crushing tax burden. Remember, we’re talking about one of the states with the highest taxes in the country, which, coupled with complicated regulations,…
We reached out to Northern California cultivators as they prepped for one of their busiest months of the year in October and the massive 2025 fall harvest. As October begins, farmers are already deep in the home stretch. They’ve been checking resin quality, monitoring the weather, watching for pests, and hoping none of those factors ruin a season’s worth of effort. According to many, California’s cooler-than-average summer has proven great for preserving terpenes. This has certainly been the case in Monterey County, where the production greenhouses of Kalya Extracts call home. While the weather there is generally less scorching than…

NFL legend Marshawn Lynch has always played the game his own way. Now he’s doing the same in cannabis. His brand Dodi, born in the Bay, is teaming up with Originals in Los Angeles to take things to a new level. From Oakland to L.A. Dodi started as a Northern California flower line with a reputation for top genetics and a real connection to cannabis culture. Lynch says that’s why the deal with Originals makes sense. “Family is a big part of why I’m involved in this industry, and Originals is family. They’re respected for being the best at what…
