Nov 22 Sous Weed 2021 Holiday Gift Guide

In a blink of an eye, 2021 is almost over, which means it’s time for our holiday gift guide roundup. With global supply chain disruptions and inflation to deal with, it’s important for us all to be shopping small and supporting locally this holiday season. Much like last year, I encourage you support and invest in BIPOC brands. Don’t know where to start? Check out, InclusiveBase—a database created by Cannaclusive and Almost Consulting that is filled with BIPOC-run cannabis brands for the conscious consumer.
