The Cannabis Scene
I visited and spent time with Be BigFork This is the cutest dispens by Casey The dispensary looks an with a touch of Compton; Eazy-E w customers love it there; so much that a gentleman paused mid purchase, looked me in my eyes, and told me that Beargrass has the best Wedding Cake he has ever had so he buys it by the ounce; he was right I appreciated the setup of the dispensary; THC on one side, CBD on the other, allowing customers to browse their preferred sections. My Beargrass Naturals favorite is: Wedding Cake g g stopped in and goodness, the gifts were delicious; Galaxy Sunshine is my favorite.

What I’ll remember about this drive for the rest of my life, was driving through West Glacier National Park and seeing what I think is the tallest mountain I’ve seen in my life, with a very pointed top. I was mesmerized by it and was sad when it was no longer in view I thought I lost it but then I saw it as the road curved It was the center of attention and in perfect view I never felt so country, my mouth was wide open in shock and in love When I looked at the very top of it, winter was making circles around it, it was like an AI creation
I have never seen winter; and what I mean is, sure I was in winter, could see the snow, and could feel the cold, but I’ve never seen it– the cold, until West Glacier.

The Cannabis Scene
I visited Helena for cannabis, and met up with Alex and Adam to tour and learn about Bloom Montana and Clear Cannabis Inc., and got to experience their compound; it’s like a mini neighborhood Bloom is locally owned and is the largest cannabis provider in the state of Montana Clear Cannabis Inc , also known as The Clear, and The Clear CBD, is a multi-state brand celebrating 10 years this year

The compound was massive: cultivation, extraction, dispensary, and more. I learned so much from my visit there and more about their partnerships/collaborations with other brands Even more, I enjoyed receiving the gift bag which included various Bloom edibles and a delicious wax, the Twax joint, and a couple Clear Cannabis brand cartridges This was the happiest conversation in a conference room I’ve ever had, nothing like my corporate days
-My Bloom and Clear Cannabis favorites are: the Twax joint from Clear and the wax from Bloom
