Understanding the past to plan for the future

Ever since we first opened our doors, we have held a steadfast belief that we were destined to be more than just a dispensary. This vision was fueled by our deep-seated desire to create a community that extends far beyond transactional encounters, one that fosters growth, shared knowledge, and a deeper understanding of the cannabis world.


'The Paper' embodies this vision. It's not just a website or a blog, but a gathering place for a community of like-minded individuals, both seasoned cannabis enthusiasts and newcomers embarking on their journey of discovery. It's a platform dedicated to offering more than just products, instead providing a comprehensive educational and engaging experience.

Our mission with 'The Paper' is threefold. We seek to engage, inspiring our community with captivating stories and experiences from the cannabis universe. We aim to inspire, stirring the imaginations of our readers with innovative ideas and fresh perspectives. And, most importantly, we strive to educate, sharing the knowledge and insights we've gathered over the years, demystifying the world of cannabis, and empowering our readers to make informed decisions.


'The Paper' offers a rich tapestry of content designed to cater to our diverse community. From in-depth interviews that offer a glimpse into the lives and thoughts of industry pioneers, growers, and consumers, to our team's handpicked favorites that showcase the breadth and variety of our offerings - we curate it all. We believe that every story, every review, and every piece of advice is a step towards building a more informed and connected cannabis community.


But we aim to be more than just content—a welcoming haven where passion fuels exploration, where understanding bridges the gap between confusion and clarity, and where enlightenment is ignited by curiosity. We envision this as a digital hub where our community can engage in meaningful dialogues, share experiences, and grow together in their cannabis journey.


We welcome you to 'The Paper', a dynamic space where the love for cannabis transcends beyond the plant itself, fostering a lifestyle of learning, sharing, and connecting. This is the manifestation of our promise to be more than a dispensary. Welcome to our cannabis community, welcome.

In a nation where history is steeped in complex heroism, adversity, triumphs, and paradoxes, the celebration of Juneteenth remains a beacon of resilience and freedom. A uniquely American event, Juneteenth - also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day - provides us an opportunity to reflect on a critical turning point in our nation’s history. Today, as we commemorate this significant day, it's essential to appreciate the magnitude of its impact and recognize its relevance in societal discourse. Juneteenth, celebrated on the 19th of June each year, honors the day in 1865 when Union Major General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all slaves in the state were free. This announcement came more than two years after President Lincoln had issued the Emancipation Proclamation, and months after the end of the Civil War. The delay, caused by a potent combination of deliberate obstruction of the proclamation and the slow grind of the war, represents a poignant symbol of the struggles for justice and equality that persist to this day. It's crucial to understand that Juneteenth is not an African American holiday, but an American one. It observes the fulfillment of a promise that forms the bedrock of the American ethos: the promise of freedom and equality. It allows us a chance to explore the orbit of racial inequality, starting from the scourge of slavery to the current struggles against systemic racism. In light of recent events, Juneteenth’s celebration is more pertinent than ever. The event pushes us to reflect on the racial disparities that continue to exist in various aspects of society - from criminal justice to education, health care, and employment. The journey toward equality and justice is an ongoing one, and Juneteenth is a reminder that while progress has been made, there is still much ground to cover. Juneteenth is a celebration of African American culture–Black culture and resilience.
