Publisher’s Note: The Yummy Yum Issue Welcome to The Yum Issue, where we’re sweetening the conversation around cannabis with the innovators, artists, and visionaries who are reshaping the landscape. This issue is all about the trailblazers making waves, from redefining taste and aesthetics to pushing new boundaries in cannabis culture. Our cover story features Ryan Bartholomew of the legendary brand Doja, a longtime industry pioneer, offering us a rare look into his groundbreaking work in genetics and flavor alongside his partner Rusty. Together, they’re crafting extraordinary cannabis experiences that set the bar higher. We captured Ryan’s next-gen moves in the heart of Los Angeles, where his vision is brought to life in full force. We also hear from Igor, co-founder of FullMoon Sesh, sharing his global insights and aspirations. Master glassblower Scott Deppe stirs up a feast for the eyes with his stunning art and incredible dab rigs that blend craftsmanship and creativity. Plus, we’re taking you around the globe with voices like Duc Anh Dang, Managing Director of Mary Jane Berlin; Niklas Kouparanis, founder of Bloomwell Group; Michael Sassano of Somai Pharmaceuticals; and more, as they shape the future of cannabis in powerful markets from Europe to Australia. As always, we shine a spotlight on the women leading the charge in cannabis with our Honey Spotlight—including Ruby, a real-life plant communicator who gets answers directly from the plants themselves. Steph Frohock is making waves as Vice President of Marketing at The Flowery, while Zara Snapp continues to savor the progress she’s making in advocacy and education across substances. Lior Pisso, co-founder of My Green Fields, shares the key to Israel’s cannabis success. This issue also includes a special appearance by legendary rapper Smoke DZA and two of the biggest personalities in the space: Ciaran O’Leary and the mysterious CP Medical. If you know, you know. If not, don’t worry—Honeysuckle’s got you covered. Thank you for joining us on this journey through flavored cannabis culture. We hope this issue leaves you with a taste for what’s next.
