Hi everybody,

There's just 28 hours left in the Weed Deck kickstarter campaign! Thanks so much for coming along on this ride.

So, if you want to upgrade your pledge to include a few decks or books for stocking stuffers, now is the time! You can go to the campaign page here to change your reward.

I'll be sending out Backerkit surveys in the next couple weeks to get your finalized mailing addresses. Thanks for your support!

Cheers,

Ben

200% reached, and legalization tomorrow!

Hi folks,

Thanks so much for your continued support! The campaign just hit 200% of its funding goal, which means I'll be able to get more Weed Decks produced, and spread this cannabis knowledge even further. It's so exciting to see how many people care about cannabis education.

And in case you weren't aware, recreational cannabis is going to be legal across all of Canada TOMORROW. This is an exciting country-wide experiment, and a huge win for cannabis advocates everywhere. Here's an interesting article from Vice about how we got here: How Canada Legalized Weed

And when you're on the hunt for the best cannabis in your area, a great resource is Leafbuyer. They've got helpful resources for learning about cannabis, and where to find it. Check them out here, or by clicking on the image below.

Thanks everyone! Follow along with the Weed Deck at our Instagram account and Facebook page.

Cheers,

Ben

1 week until legalization + an article

Canadian legalization approaches

In just one week, recreational cannabis is going to be legal in Canada! Exciting times for people here, and possibly a sign of what is to come for other countries. Here is a great article by the Globe and Mail about impending legalization, and what to expect: Canadian Cannabis Legalization Guide.

It's also a great time to help your friends get prepared, and tell about The Weed Deck! Here's the short link to the campaign: bit.ly/weeddeck

The Georgia Straight, a Vancouver weekly, just wrote a story about The Weed Deck. You can read it here, or by clicking the image below. 

Thanks again for your support! The decks are being manufactured as we speak, and I'm working on some final details with the book manufacturer, so those will be in process soon. 

If you have any questions or comments, give me a shout at [email protected]

Cheers,

Ben Barrett-Forrest

Hi folks,

I want to make absolutely sure these decks will arrive at your door with plenty of time before Christmas. So, I just sent the finalized print files off to my manufacturer, Legends Playing Card Co!

I thought you might like to have a look at them, so here they are!

Don't the illustrations by Celia Krampien look fantastic?

Thanks again for your support. If you ever have any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected]. Or follow along on facebook or instagram.

Weed on the Radio

I gave an interview on CBC radio this morning about the deck, and why I created it! Give it a listen to hear me wax poetic about the wonders of weed: https://www.cbc.ca/listen/shows/airplay/episode/15601088
