Okay, so, you have to school me on Ganja Vibes. Go!

next-56-ThankYou-2-57090_406x226

Today I made a new friend. It all started when I “liked” a picture and commented with praise of a certain awesome distribution company‘s move on Facebook…..The response was a “friending” along with the entitled request in a private message.

This is my response:

Cool, here we go…lol

Ganja Vibes is my mother load of all babies at this time. I have been a long time advocate of Cannabis and a healthy sex life. After a long romance with both cultures I saw a niche market untapped.

Enters “Ganja Vibes”, a place where sex and weed combine to help you find your highest highs. ;D

I have conceptualized adult novelty designs for Cannabis enthusiasts. The “Mary Jane VibratorTM” is my first product on the manufacturing line, as I type. Currently being worked on in China, my eventual hope is that the company will one day be “made in America”.

The “Mary Jane VibratorTM” is a personal massager/ clitoral stimulator. Discrete enough to leave lying around the house, but so well designed that you’ll want one for your every day massage use as well as sexual use in the bedroom (or where ever you get your rocks off). It’s amazing while being used in partner play and all around awesome to look at. The most common response is, “faces light up, electronics go to work (in-hand use only; no awkward/ too personal first moments please), and a loud “I WANT ONE” conclusion in meeting.

The Ganja Vibes line will include your basic toys along with some other wild machinations I have worked out while yearning for more creativity and a safe haven (toys that I actually relate to; i.e. my love of Marijuana) while exploring sexuality, pleasure and fun.

Clitoral Stimulator: The Mary Jane VibratorTM
Butt Plug: Under Development

The facebook page, like the blog is a musing, entertainment and updates hub as I have been very careful while establishing my trademarks, copyrights and become patent pending. I am super jazzed to be coming closer to releasing images and showing the world what Ganja Vibes has coming soon!

I have recently moved to Vegas to audit conventions and see where we get in to fit in.

I have a wild passion for what I’m doing, so pardon me if I’ve rambled! I hope this helps to get you up to date with Ganja Vibes!

What do you think?

New friends response:

Well, I was hoping you could be a bit more thorough. ;-)

Followed by a few more questions and praise which I am very grateful for….
I’m posting this because I felt like my followers on this blog deserve the inside scoop. I greatly appreciate all the support. This blog has been a jump off point and a tremendous confidence builder with all the great response I’ve received over the past year and few months I’ve been active, yet sometimes not so active. Thank you!
It’s been an interesting road to discovery in so many directions and so many ways.

Can a cornucopia of marijuana related sex tools change the minds of many and effect our society as we know it??? – I believe it can! AND I have never been declared as insane, for the record! yet. haha.

My goal is to offer these goodies while making them available at an affordable cost to all those who love the culture. It’s true, all these industries are booming and with the future looking so bright towards ending a long time prohibition, it is my soap box to help in the good fight! My secret platform can’t reach many, while a public platform along with audience interaction and vested interest can help change somehow.
I’m open about what I’m doing -on a generalized level- it’s partly what’s helped me get as far as I’ve gotten. I love to learn and I love what I’m doing. I’ve never had so many puns as I’ve experienced through this process and it’s been fun even though it’s been stressful.

Through my education of everything having to do with the industries- manufacturing, adult novelty, apparel, online development and head shop- I have learned more than a college educations worth and do know that it is- “all about relationships”. Luckily, I don’t have too big of a conundrum establishing relationships on a business level most of the time it seems.

I started this company myself and saw it through while treading water so to speak for the first year and a half. After which I brought on a business partner. I do most everything regarding conceptualizing “what is Ganja Vibes” in all directions, with a team of 2 awesome engineers, a graphic artist/art director (which was the hardest to find and settle on), and 1 project manager whose manufacturer I’m using in China, for the core of the operation, at this time. My business partner and I are hard workers and we aren’t greedy. We have hopes that we can build this brand and one day get enough interest to make it work on a wide scale level. I have a back ground in entertainment so one of my plans is to make Ganja Vibes an events brand as well. I know my partner doesn’t want more work, but he’s a little older than I am and I still have a lot of living to support, dreams to see through and fun to have with all the cool ass people out there….so I’m looking long-term.

I’ve run all the media platforms and still do while searching and praying for some good help! I feel like, until I have the first product and few offerings become available, money needs to be spent on production costs to boot.

I get phone calls every day from friends and messages from new supporters asking when can they see what’s being produced and some even ask where can they buy one, before they even see it. I can not express how much fuel this puts on the huge fires burning….I am GRATEFUL, TREMENDOUSLY APPRECIATIVE AND PUMPED about how excited everyone is to welcome Ganja Vibes on the scene with open arms! THANK YOU!

Be Kinky, Be High…on life….One Love!

Medical Marijuana Community Cultivating Pot Farmers Markets | Marijuana.com

Posted July 24th, 2012 by Johnny Dank & filed under 420 Jam, Events, Marijuana and Food.

‘Cheers’ had it right — people love going to places where they know your name — a community of friends in all walks of life embracing one another. Washington being a pro marijuana state with legalized cannabis, the “Ever-Green” state has fully embraced the “community” in medical marijuana community, with some cultivating to physically build one. On one hand we have medical marijuana card holding patients that like to get their pot and run, debating on where to smoke weed; and others that mash-up their love of marijuana with mingling and shopping — Mary Jane meets the farmers market.

This idea isn’t just an idea in a haze…Washington Farmer’s Market in Olympia provides a stoner’s haven for market fare. Open to the public and not being exclusive, the 420 friendly patients and vendors welcome all passerby’s with a smile and open arms; even if you’re the novice stoner still learning how to smoke from a bong.

The marijuana farmer’s market embodies why marijuana laws need to be re-addressed. The market is all about weed; having fun, enjoying the marijuana treats, while learning about all the medical benefits of pot and the exponential medical possibilities of THC and cannibinoids. With about 20 tables, vendors offer anything for the medical marijuana patient to salivate over from marijuana flowers, pot brownies to pot seeds and dank concentrates. Competition helps to have high quality pot products for a low cost, with free weed to sample for patients that donate. With energetic sativas for the day stoner and sedative indicas for the night pot smoker.

With many people with a ‘wake and bake,’ on the go mentality, Sonshine Organics provides relief. This medical marijuana collective runs on the same high grounds as the Washington Farmer’s Market and has a unique feature – a drive-thru. Sonshines own Sarena Haskins says, “It’s perfect for the busy mom on the go, who don’t want to leave her children in the car.”

A staple for the growing marijuana niche market is their food, like any other well-groomed farmer’s market. The BBQ pork slider, infused with cannabutter, from Chef Bilbus Yeoldshire is a must have for all patients. A bang for your buck being less than $5. For stoners with a sweet-tooth, there is a bevy of potent medicated weed treats which include: hash brownies, dark chocolate chip pot cookies and cannabis peanut butter cups.

With a serene and energetic atmosphere for all ages to enjoy; the Washington Farmer’s Market, hopefully, is the start of an ongoing influx of Pot Farmers Markets around the country so more medical marijuana patients can take pleasure in — A safe and nurturing environment for the medical marijuana community. Vendors and patients alike entertaining, educating one another for the greater of medical cannabis.

Identical to the typically, socially-accepted local farmers market minus the cannabis – there’s never a bland moment. With live music, smoking lounges, entertainers at every corner. Hopefully one day there will be a “C” answer to: “Want to go to the farmer’s market?”

A.) Yes

B.) No

C.) Which one? Pot or not?

Amsterdam To Weed Smokers: Party On. – Forbes

Pot smokers, you can chill now. Amsterdam has been given a reprieve from the Netherlands’ ban on foreigners purchasing marijuana and hashish in its famous “coffeeshops.” 

Earlier this year, the Dutch government began phasing in restrictions on the coffeeshops, which sell marijuana and hashish legally and under regulation and pay taxes. On May 1, starting in southern provinces, Dutch citizens were required for the first time to present a government-issued “weed pass” for admission to the coffeeshops. Non-Dutch citizens could not get a weed pass, effectively killing the foreign trade. Dutch citizens have largely voided the weed pass.

The idea was to prevent mostly German, Belgian and French tourists from crossing the border to purchase drugs illegal in their own countries. The ban, imposed by the outgoing national government, was due to roll out – so to speak – to the rest of the country on January 1, 2013.

Yet in an interview yesterday in the Dutch newspaper Volkskrant, Amsterdam Mayor Eberhard Van der Laan said that the new measures will not take effect in Amsterdam, the nation’s largest city and biggest tourist draw.

“Amsterdam gets some 7 million tourists per year, of whom it is estimated that 1.5 million visit one of the city’s coffeeshops,” he said. If barred from the coffeeshops, “The one-and-a-half million tourists will not say, ‘then no more marijuana.’ They will swarm all over the city looking for drugs,” from illicit sources. “This would lead, to more robberies, quarrels about fake drugs, and no control of the quality of drugs on the market,” precisely the effects the ban was intended to avoid.

Amsterdam credits the coffeehouse system, in part, with cleaning up neighborhoods where illicit sales once reigned, such as the historic enclaves of Zeedijk and De Wallen. “The city council, the police and the residents have been busy 20 years to reclaim that area,” Van der Laan said. If the ban hit Amsterdam, “Everything we have worked towards would be lost to misery.”

The newspaper reports about 220 coffeeshops in Amsterdam, about one-third of the total nationwide.

To arrive at this deal with the national Minister for Security and Justice, Amsterdam had to offer assurances of policies of checks and balances on the coffeeshops. “Sales to minors, drugs which are too strong, stocking of too large a quantity, advertising or causing nuisance – we will close in and deal with offenders ruthlessly,” Van der Laan said.
