Modern Cannabis: 5 Microinfluencers for the New Age of Health
It isn't easy to speak to the cannabis curious ...
We get it. The brand you are starting is different. It's well branded, it is health and active focused. It is nothing like the heritage brands that brought so much stigma to the industry. We've traded out the word weed for cannabis, and ornate glass pieces for micro-dosing pens.
To succeed though, you need to appeal to the creatives, the patient, and those curious but never enough to commit to trying cannabis before. And though we are well into the modern age of cannabis being widely accepted in social circles, for some reason there is still difficulty finding influencers who are willing to talk about there use of the product. Especially ones that comes from fashion, travel, food, fitness, etc, all with crossover appeal. Fear not though, we have done the leg work for you
Keep reading to see five influencers that we love, who are more than willing to try and talk about brands in the cannabis space. Want more? Talk to us here.

2. benmedansky: Okay so he is involved in the space a bit (he makes beautiful ceramic pipes you can see here) but Ben Medansky is one of our favorite people in the new age of cannabis. His craft is top notch and his social media is just as good. Ben lives and works in Los Angeles.

5. amandabjorn: Rounding out the list with another amazing photographer - Amanda Bjorn spends time going back and forth to Cuba leading photo and art tours. While she spends the majority of her time in California - she gets around the globe enough to make you jealous. Her work obsesses on portraits, half of which feature people smoking. We promise it's never looked so cool.
