“We had a friend named “Uncle Tony” who would tell us great stories, but couldn’t tell a story and keep trimming at the same time. So Kelsey would say “head down” as a reminder to absolutely keep telling your story, but you also better keep trimming while you do it. We kept telling ourselves “head down” when the market got rough or when it seemed like an insurmountable task to finish. Just keep your head down and focus on what you can control. Don’t let outside things distract you from the goal.” -Jimi

A Stoner Owner is a Cannabis business owner who has a relationship with the plant. We want to buy and smoke Cannabis from companies that care about their products, employees and the plant. You wouldn’t buy food from a restaurant where the cooks don’t eat in the kitchen, so why buy corporate weed grown by a company only concerned with profits? Stoner Owner approval means a company cares, and we love weed grown with care. Let’s retake our culture and reshape a stigma by honoring those who grow, process and sell the best Cannabis possible.
