HAPPY 4/20!! Today I’m beyond thrilled to chat with the unstoppable Tiffany Chin, Co-founder & CEO of Death Row Cannabis.
In this episode, we delve into Tiffany's incredible journey, exploring her experiences in the gray market in LA County, her first venture into the legal market with Snoop’s first brand LBS, and the launch of Death Row Cannabis last December. We discuss how celebrity plays in cannabis have been volatile, what makes Death Row Cannabis different, and the lessons Tiffany has learned along the way to the top.
Tiffany also shares insights on the Death Row Cannabis’s progress and plans as they expand beyond Snoop to include cannabis products by more Death Row icons. We touch on her dream smoke circle (she smokes with Snoop a lot so he sits this one out ;), the women in cannabis who inspire her, and the advice she would give to 13-year-old Tiffany.

Welcome to feminized, today I’m excited chat with The Successful Canna-preneur, JM Balbuena. She’s a San Diego-based author, filmmaker, advocate, and entrepreneur focused on empowering aspiring leaders in the rapidly growing legal cannabis space.
Navy veteran JM was born in the Dominican Republic and came to America at the age of 13. JM received a Navy & Marine Corps Achievement Medal for her dedicated service as Aviation Electronics Tech in the United States Navy between 2010 to 2014. While serving in the military, JM suffered an accident, and upon leaving the service the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) from that accident disrupted JM’s sleeping and eating habits. JM also experienced chronic headaches and back pain. All of which led to anxiety and depression. Thank GOD JM was introduced to cannabis as medicine and credits cannabis with saving her life — helping JM regulate sleep, eating, and managing physical and mental pain.
If you have ever felt like you have barriers to success, tap into JM’s story, it will make you look at your struggles in a different light and inspire you to keep reaching for your dreams despite the odds, TRUST. If you’re in San Diego, visit JAXX CANNABIS and let JM and her team take care of you!

The LIFT Expo is a highly touted cannabis expo from Canada and I’ve always had a fair bit of FOMO when I would hear about all of the connections and fun attendees were having north of the border. At LIFT, the best brands launch cutting-edge new products, exciting new canna-brands are born, and icons of the industry share valuable trade secrets with attendees in keynote sessions, panels, and networking mixers. Well, you can imagine my extreme elation when I heard that LIFT is FINALLY coming to the US!
Naturally, I had to talk to the women in charge! Today’s episode features Lift Expo leaders Lindsay Roberts, Events & Experiences Portfolio Lead, and Rachel Grundner, Sales Director for a lively conversation about the conference, their journey into cannabis, and personal relationships with the plant. I loved it, and so will you, so pack a large bowl and get comfy :)

Join us for Lift's strategy-focused, advocacy-oriented business and community leadership conference. For San Francisco specifically, we will equip attendees with the information needed to navigate today's cannabis market in California - and beyond.

Like all good plans, Cary Mapes & Patty Pappas hatched their idea for a cannabis-powered vaginal suppository in a dispensary and they haven’t looked back! Hello Again is a product that combines the healing power of cannabis with specific botanicals to provide relief from the physical, cognitive, and emotional challenges of womanhood. It’s their first product ever, and they had no prior connections with cannabis or vaginal suppositories, yet they forge ahead fearlessly because they are truly changing lives! You’ll love their story.
P.s. I’ve tried their PERIOD product and IT’S FABULOUS! Review in the episode!
