As we celebrate Father's Day today, we want to take a moment to honor the fathers and father figures who have been instrumental in the shaping of the cannabis industry. From growers and entrepreneurs, to activists and advocates, these dads have done for the cannabis industry what dads do best: protect, teach, encourage, and lead us from a counterculture movement to a multi-billion dollar legal market.
We would love to hear your stories about the intersection of fatherhood and cannabis. Share yours and tell us about your favorite "canna dads" by reaching out to us @honeysucklemagazine on Instagram.
