@ashelounge & @jacobsfarm_tc are presenting a farm

@ashelounge & @jacobsfarm_tc are presenting a farm-to-table cannabis dinner in Traverse City on Thursday, September 28th with a chef who cut his teeth in California in the early days of legal weed.

The dinner is the brain child of Andrea Doyle & Sarah Tupper, co-founders of of Ashe Lounge who are teaming up with Jacob’s Farm chef Eric Daily to offer a multi-course exploration of infused dining with a 4 course Farm-to-Table meal that can be enjoyed as is or infused based on your comfort level with cannabis. There will be infused mocktails, dessert bar, live music by local artist Allie Kessel (@allie_kessel), bonfires, smores, camp fun, and community.

Here are some highlights from our article at: https://michigancannabistrail.com/campashe

"We have seen so many people feel boxed out of spaces and places and groups that engage in cannabis. I’m a 43-year-old mom and the traditional festival experience doesn’t offer the attention to detail or environment that makes for the best cannabis experience. With this event we’re looking to not only engage the cannabis community, but also to find the intersection that brings in people who enjoy wine dinners and similar experiences," says Sarah

As to the dish he is most looking forward to, Eric says he has tried to include something for everybody. He loves the way the cannabis works in the seeded Dijon chimichurri but says, “I think it might be the desserts. I went a little old school with some of the desserts to bring back the classic memories of Rice Krispie treats & gummies to deliver a good, fun memory of how many of us first got into eating cannabis.”

One thing Chef Daily wants to stress is that this dinner can be enjoyed by anyone. “The whole idea is that somebody can come to this dinner and not eat or ingest any cannabis if they don’t want to. Every diner gets the choice to infuse or not with every course. We have set it up in three different ways. Guests can ingest no THC or CBD, only CBD and CBG, or all three for the full trifecta – the entourage effect you may have heard of. It’s an evening to fully enjoy yourself, whatever your level of enjoyment is!”

“You know, Indiana is a huge driver. I mean, I thank Indiana and Ohio every day for what they’ve done for the Michigan cannabis business,” said McFarlane.

WILL MICHIGAN’S MEDICAL CANNABIS MARKET DISAPPEA

WILL MICHIGAN’S MEDICAL CANNABIS MARKET DISAPPEAR?

The Green Market Report shares an excellent in-depth exploration of Michigan’s vanishing medical marijuana industry. We can't post it all here but head over to the MCT and understand that we are in the 11th hour with time running out if we want to save Michigan's landmark medical cannabis market from becoming a 15% off coupon.

We have to agree with Ankur Rungta, CEO of C3 Industries Rungta who says the medical market in Michigan or elsewhere won’t survive until medical marijuana becomes more legitimate as medicine, not just as a recreational drug with a medical backdoor.

“For medical to really drive a comeback, there would need to be differentiation. It’s the same product, essentially, on both sides (medical and recreational) of the business. We’re just not there yet,” Rungta said. “It has to come through R&D. A product that’s something closer to medicine and more data-driven evidence to support it.”

We can make that happen on September 28th at the Capitol!

LEGAL ARGUMENTS AROUND GUN OWNERSHIP FOR CANNABIS

LEGAL ARGUMENTS AROUND GUN OWNERSHIP FOR CANNABIS USERS HEAT UP

A huge issue around legal recreational & medical cannabis is the fact that card holders can be barred from gun ownership. Recently, a court found one of the laws unconstitutional, but Marijuana Moment shares that the Justice Department believes a lower court’s ruling in a marijuana and gun rights case was “incorrectly decided”:

In a one-page brief filed on Friday, the federal government notified judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit that the separate U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit recently deemed the law barring cannabis consumers from buying or possessing firearms to be unconstitutional.

42 DEGREES TAKING ON VAPE WASTE The Traverse City

42 DEGREES TAKING ON VAPE WASTE

The Traverse City Ticker's Craig Manning writes Michigan has the second biggest cannabis market in the entire country, but the growth has brought waste and negative environmental impacts that a Michigan business is trying to solve.

“The cannabis industry is naturally a very environmentally-taxing business,” says Samuel Rosinski, the CEO of 42 Degrees, a Kalkaska-based company that offers a range of services around cannabis processing, extraction, packaging, distribution, and more. “With a lot of Michigan’s industry, the cannabis flower is typically cultivated in indoor facilities so that they can maintain consistent production year-round. And then the processing, packaging, and distribution of the product is also very taxing on the environment. The Hero Project is a fledgling initiative within 42 Degrees that carries an ambitious goal of creating a comprehensive recycling system for disposable cannabis vape pens, a category that Rosinski says is currently “growing at an incredible 36 percent, year over year.” Disposable vapes, he explains, are made up of three parts: a “chassis,” typically made from a dense plastic or a metal alloy; a “cartomizer,” or the metal or glass container within the chassis that actually holds the cannabis; and a lithium battery, which powers the device. Often, these materials end up in landfills simply because there is no good way to separate and recycle them. The goal of The Hero Project is to put systems in place so that customers not only have a place to recycle their old vapes, but also an incentive to do so.

DUNEGRASS GARDENS CANNABIS LOUNGE RETURNS TO HOXEY

DUNEGRASS GARDENS CANNABIS LOUNGE RETURNS TO HOXEYVILLE

The annual @Hoxeyville Music Festival takes place August 18-20 in Wellston. In 2023 they have once again partnered with cannabis outfitter @dunegrass.co to provide cannabis sales and a cannabis lounge. Dunegrass & cannabis event organizer and cultivator, Tom Beller of @realleafsolutions are ready to take Dunegrass Gardens to a new level.

“We are very excited to provide this option for our attendees, and look forward to growing both this experience within the event as well as our partnership with Dunegrass,” says Jake Robinson of Hoxeyville Productions.

That excitement is shared by Dunegrass COO Eric Piedmonte who adds, “Dunegrass is beyond excited to work on the first music festival turned cannabis event in the state. Until now all the on-site cannabis events have been cannabis first, entertainment second. We are flipping the model on its head by partnering with a long-running festival like Hoxey adding to it.”

Hoxeyville is the Midwest’s premier Americana and Roots festival with two stages featuring national touring artists with headliners including Marcus King, The Wood Brothers, Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway, Keller Williams and a host of midwest folk & roots all stars like Lindsay Lou, May Erlewine, Luke Winslow King, The Crane Wives and of course Airborne or Aquatic which includes festival founder Jake Robinson!

Dunegrass Gardens fits right in with the vibe Hoxeyville has created by providing comfortable furniture, an array of cannabis consumption options, fun activities, and of course, quality Michigan cannabis flower, pre-rolls, and edibles for purchase from Dunegrass and their retail partners.

Although you can easily see and hear the stages, they’re even bringing the music of Hoxeyville to Dunegrass Gardens with performers including Hoxey veteran and bluegrass phenom Mark Lavengood. “As a performer, I really appreciate having a safe space for people to consume cannabis and for the culture as a whole to proliferate. It is a strong medicine and has gone hand in hand with music for decades."

My Michigan medical cannabis card expires tomorrow

My Michigan medical cannabis card expires tomorrow, and while it can feel these days that a medical cannabis card is little more than a 20% off discount, there remain concrete reasons for me to renew. Medical card holders can legally purchase & possess more cannabis, have better legal defense in the event of accident, can use their cards reciprocally in many medical only states, and you don’t have to pay the 10% tax on medical cannabis.

Our friends at @michiganweedsters3.0 have teamed up with @essentialtelehealth to offer renewals or new medical marijuana cards for just $90!

If you purchase your card through them, you also receive discounts to several Michigan cannabis events and a one year membership to @genesee3c & @vehiclecitysocial, two amazing cannabis clubs in Flint!

PS: Of course the biggest reason is that when you get a med card, you support the caregivers who have kept cannabis alive in Michigan.

420-friendly camping is especially great for star

420-friendly camping is especially great for star watching & enjoying meteor showers: you're already outside, usually have warm clothes & comfy outdoor chairs. Every year the Perseid meteor shower is active from mid-July to late August (aka right now!), and it is one of the best shooting star displays of the year.
This year the shower will peak around Aug. 13, 2023, and it is an especially good one for the Perseid viewing as the moon will only be 10% illuminated.
We want to encourage you to get out to one of our many 420-friendly camping spots including @micamphaven in Kalkaska, @artfarmfennville, @_pineleaf_ Camping & Cabins in Mancelona & Camp Whistlestop near Flint.
