A lot of you already know from my “It Was My Medicine Before I Knew It Was Medicine” article that I deal with mental health challenges and neurodiversity. That hasn’t changed. What has changed is how I’m learning to handle it. I still have good days and bad days. Some are manageable, some aren’t. The difference now is I’m not trying to pretend I have it all figured out....]]></description><link>https://jointventurenj.wixsite.com/joint-venture/post/stay-faded-don-t-fade-out</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a40a36ed3770ea960ef5955</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Jun 2026 03:29:49 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/693080_06e74fe5040c49329829e7e91e936bc8~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>The Doobie Dad</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy Farmer x Peelz Review]]></title><description><![CDATA[First things first… to everyone who read, liked, shared, and/or reached out about my last post, thank you . It was something that I needed to get out, and hopefully it reached someone who needed to read it. Second, the opinions here are mine and mine alone. Neither The Happy Farmer nor Peelz Fruit Wraps has paid for any reviews or promotion. Now that that’s out of the way, I’m gonna rip a nice dab of some J1 Wet Diamonds and get into it.

But with May being Mental Health Awareness Month, I wanted to talk about my experience with mental health and cannabis. I feel like this gives people a chance to learn a little more about me and why I’m so passionate about the plant. It also gives me a chance to tell my story and face the stigma (and my fears) head-on. I’m not really sure where the best place to start is, so I’m just going...]]></description><link>https://jointventurenj.wixsite.com/joint-venture/post/it-was-my-medicine-before-i-knew-it-was-medicine</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a0bc5f2a233cf6a051ffa01</guid><pubDate>Thu, 21 May 2026 02:17:10 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/693080_b6950a5f0e9c4e258a1af3ed0ef1dd9c~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_914,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>The Doobie Dad</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forty, a Reset, and Starting Joint Venture]]></title><description><![CDATA[With my birthday coming up this Friday, I’ve been doing a lot of reflecting on this past year. The past few months especially. Forty was a hell of a ride Forty was a hell of a ride, that’s for sure. Lots of ups and just as many downs. Then in February, I was let go from my job. Not going to lie, it kind of messed me up a bit at the time. The reset I didn’t plan on But in a strange way, it pushed me to slow down and reconnect with myself and what I actually enjoy doing.

I do this for multiple reasons, but the main two are: first, in my opinion, just a gram or pre-roll isn’t enough to fully gauge a strain. I want to be able to sit with it a few times and really soak it in. I want to break it up, roll it, smoke it a few different ways, and really get the full experience.

Menus are longer, shelves are fuller, and new brands continue entering the space. On paper, that sounds like progress. In many ways, it is. But growth in product count is not the same as growth in identity. Right now, New Jersey has plenty to buy. What it still needs is more brands worth remembering. Too many products blend together the moment they hit the shelf.

That distinction explains a lot of what people are seeing in the market right now, even if it is not being said directly. The New Jersey cannabis market has been evolving quickly since legalization in 2021.

I’m kicking this off local with a stop at Buddy’s Dispensary and a look at the Jersey Sauce Boss Sauce Stick Liquid Live Resin 0.5g vape cartridge from Glass Meadows. First up, Buddy’s. This is my go-to spot. Easy. Reliable. No second-guessing. It’s a women-owned dispensary housed in the old “Pink House,” and the branding is dialed in to match. As someone who lives in branding, that kind of consistency stands out immediately, and they nailed it.
