Buck Moon: Growth, Power, and Turning Points

The Buck Moon—the full moon of July—rises in all its glowing glory to light the night sky and stir the soul. Named after the time of year when male deer (bucks) begin to grow their majestic antlers, this moon symbolizes renewal, personal strength, and steady growth.

It’s a cosmic checkpoint: a time to reflect on how far you’ve come and tap into your inner wildness as the second half of the year begins.


What the Buck Moon Represents

🦌 Growth in Motion – Just like the buck’s antlers, your own goals, dreams, and identity are forming — slowly but surely.

🌕 Strength Through Cycles – This moon reminds us that growth isn’t instant. It’s seasonal, natural, and often unseen — until suddenly, it’s undeniable.

🔥 Power & Persistence – The Buck Moon carries masculine energy: bold, focused, and forward-moving. But it’s not aggressive — it’s about knowing your direction and staying grounded.


Ritual Ideas for the Buck Moon

🌿 Ground in Nature – Go for a hike, sit under the moonlight, or meditate near trees. Align with the energy of the Earth and wild creatures.

📝 Set Mid-Year Intentions – What needs adjusting? What are you proud of? Use this moon to journal and reset your focus.

🕯️ Full Moon Release – Let go of anything holding you back — doubts, distractions, or outdated goals. Burn it (safely), bury it, or just speak it into the night.


Cannabis & the Buck Moon 🌿🌕✨

This full moon pairs beautifully with plant medicine. Whether you’re sitting in stillness, celebrating with friends, or vision-boarding your future, cannabis can help you tap into the intuitive, nature-connected energy of the Buck Moon.

Try:

  • Earthy strains like Northern Lights or OG Kush to stay rooted
  • CBD oils or teas for deep reflection and rest
  • A mindful session under moonlight — no screens, just presence

Quick Recap

  • The Buck Moon symbolizes growth, strength, and personal evolution.
  • Take this time to reflect, realign, and recommit to your path.
  • Cannabis can help deepen rituals and connect you with nature and self.

Independence Day @ TTOGR

Independence Day

Freedom, Reflection & the Ongoing Fight for Justice

July 4th marks Independence Day — a celebration of the United States declaring freedom from colonial rule in 1776. It’s a day known for fireworks, cookouts, and red-white-and-blue everything — but it’s also a moment to pause, reflect, and ask: what does freedom truly mean today?


What Independence Day Represents

🗽 Freedom & Self-Determination – At its core, Independence Day honors the spirit of autonomy — the idea that people should have the power to govern their own lives.

📜 Courage to Break Away – The Founding Fathers made bold moves in the face of injustice. True patriotism means continuing that fight — especially when systems fail the people they were meant to protect.

🤝 Unity in Progress – July 4th isn’t just about where we came from — it’s about where we’re going. Freedom is not fully realized until it’s shared equally and equitably by all.


Ways to Celebrate With Meaning

🔥 Host with Purpose – Bring people together for a BBQ, beach day, or bonfire — and create space for meaningful conversations, music, and gratitude.

🧠 Reflect & Educate – Learn about the perspectives often left out of history books: Indigenous sovereignty, Black liberation, immigrant stories, and ongoing fights for civil rights.

📣 Support Local & Marginalized Communities – True freedom means economic empowerment too. Buy from Black-owned, Indigenous-owned, and small businesses making a difference.

🎆 Honor with Action – Celebrate your freedom by defending someone else’s. Vote. Speak up. Show up. Share truth.


Cannabis & Freedom: A New Frontier 🌿🗽

The cannabis plant has long been part of the conversation around personal liberty. Once criminalized and used to oppress communities, it’s now at the heart of a growing movement for freedom, wellness, and reparative justice.

On this Independence Day, honor the freedoms we enjoy by fighting for the ones we still need — including:

  • Equity in the cannabis industry
  • Expungement of non-violent cannabis convictions
  • Safe, accessible plant medicine for all

Celebrate freedom, but don’t forget who’s still fighting for it.


Quick Recap

  • Independence Day celebrates the U.S.’s founding ideals of liberty and self-rule.
  • It’s also a time to reflect on how freedom must evolve to include everyone.
  • Cannabis reform is one of many modern movements continuing that legacy of liberation.

Juneteenth @ TTOGR

Juneteenth

Freedom, Reflection, & Forward Motion

June 19th, known as Juneteenth, commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. On this day in 1865, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was signed, Union troops arrived in Galveston, Texas, with news that enslaved Black Americans were finally free.

Juneteenth is not only a day of remembrance — it’s a powerful symbol of liberation, resilience, and the ongoing journey toward justice and equality.


What Juneteenth Represents

🗝️ Delayed Freedom – Though the Emancipation Proclamation took effect in 1863, enforcement was slow and uneven. Juneteenth reminds us that freedom must be fought for and protected.

🔥 Resilience & Culture – Despite centuries of systemic oppression, Black communities have continued to rise, create, and lead in art, activism, business, and beyond.

🌍 Reflection & Responsibility – Juneteenth challenges all of us to recognize how the past informs the present — and how we can build a more inclusive, equitable future together.


Ways to Honor Juneteenth

📚 Learn Black History Beyond Textbooks
Explore the lives, achievements, and struggles that mainstream history often overlooks. Support Black authors, filmmakers, and educators.

🖤 Support Black-Owned Businesses
Every purchase is a vote. Support entrepreneurs and creators building wealth and legacy in their communities.

🎉 Join a Celebration or Protest
Juneteenth events often include music, art, food, and moments of healing. Celebrate and show up.

✊🏿 Have the Tough Conversations
Talk with family, friends, and co-workers about systemic inequality, allyship, and progress. Silence is complicity.


Cannabis and Social Equity 🌿

The War on Drugs disproportionately impacted Black communities for decades. Today, as cannabis becomes legal across many states, social equity programs are critical to ensuring that those most harmed have real ownership, opportunity, and voice in the new industry.

Juneteenth is a reminder that freedom without access, justice, or equity is incomplete — and cannabis legalization must be rooted in repairing the past.


Quick Recap

  • Juneteenth honors the end of slavery in the U.S. and the ongoing fight for racial justice.
  • It’s a day of celebration, education, remembrance, and activism.
  • The cannabis community has a responsibility to support social equity, reparative justice, and inclusion.

Honoring Strength, Guidance & Love

Father’s Day, celebrated on the third Sunday of June, is a tribute to the dads, granddads, stepdads, guardians, mentors, and father figures who help shape our lives. It’s a day not just for barbecues and ties, but for acknowledging the steady strength, quiet sacrifices, and unwavering support that so many fathers provide.


What Father’s Day Really Celebrates

🛠️ Support & Stability – Whether through a comforting word or showing up day after day, dads are often the foundation we lean on.

🧭 Guidance & Growth – From teaching us to ride a bike to helping us navigate life’s bigger turns, fathers leave lasting imprints on our path.

❤️ Love in Many Forms – Not every father expresses love the same way. Sometimes it’s a hug. Sometimes it’s a repaired sink, a home-cooked meal, or just showing up when it counts.

👥 Father Figures Count Too – Uncles, coaches, teachers, community leaders — anyone who’s stepped up to offer guidance and care — today, we celebrate you, too.


How to Celebrate Dad

  • 🎁 Give Something Thoughtful – Whether it’s a handmade card, a call, or a gift that says “I see you,” the thought goes a long way.
  • 🍽️ Share a Meal – Fire up the grill, go out to eat, or cook their favorite dish. Food brings stories and memories to the table.
  • 🎣 Do What He Loves – Fishing, watching sports, working on a project—join him in his element.
  • ✍️ Say What You’ve Been Meaning To – A few heartfelt words can mean more than anything money can buy.

The Chill Dad Vibe: Cannabis & CBD for Father’s Day 🌿

If your dad (or you) enjoys a little elevation or relaxation, this can be the perfect day to gift or enjoy:

  • 🛁 CBD bath salts for sore muscles and deep rest
  • 🍫 THC or CBD-infused edibles for a mellow evening
  • 🌿 Classic strains like Blue Dream or Granddaddy Purple for laid-back bonding
  • 🍻 Cannabis-infused beer or mocktails for a new kind of Father’s Day toast

Cannabis culture isn’t just for the young — it’s for anyone who values wellness, peace of mind, and maybe a few good laughs with loved ones.

A Sweet Signal of Summer’s Rise

The Strawberry Moon is June’s full moon — and no, it’s not pink or flavored like a berry, but it does mark a season of abundance, sweetness, and powerful transitions. Named by Native American tribes, particularly the Algonquin, the Strawberry Moon signaled the time to harvest ripe wild strawberries.

This moon rises just before summer’s peak, making it a vibrant symbol of ripening intentions, emotional clarity, and natural beauty. Whether you’re harvesting literal fruit or the results of your personal growth, this moon reminds us that now is the time to enjoy life’s flavor.


What the Strawberry Moon Represents

🌸 Fruition – This is a time when seeds planted earlier in the year begin to show results. What’s blooming in your life?

💞 Emotional Ripeness – Like strawberries, our feelings come into full flavor—rich, sweet, maybe even a little messy. Let them guide you with heart-centered honesty.

🔥 Passion & Playfulness – Summer solstice is near, and energy is rising. Let the Strawberry Moon be your invitation to live boldly, love deeply, and savor joy.


Rituals & Reflections

Moonlit Meditations – Sit outside and reflect on the emotional or creative “fruits” in your life. What’s come to light?

🕯️ Candle + Strawberry Offering – Light a pink or red candle. Eat strawberries with intention—honoring the sweetness you’ve created.

🧘‍♀️ Full Moon Journaling – Ask yourself: What am I ready to celebrate? What joy am I withholding that wants to be expressed?

🌿 Nature Connection – Take a walk, garden, or simply feel the warmth of the season on your skin. This moon reminds us to be in our bodies, with the Earth.


Cannabis and the Strawberry Moon 🍓🌿

The Strawberry Moon and cannabis share a kindred vibe—both are about slowing down and savoring the moment. A strawberry-flavored strain or CBD edible can heighten your lunar ritual, offering grounded euphoria or mindful calm.

Try:

  • Strawberry Cough (sativa) for uplifting energy
  • Strawberry Banana (hybrid) for chill joy
  • CBD-infused strawberry gummies for moonlit mindfulness

Whether you’re setting intentions, lighting up under moonlight, or simply tasting the sweetness of the season—let cannabis be a companion in your ritual.


Quick Recap

  • The Strawberry Moon is June’s full moon, symbolizing abundance, sweetness, and emotional growth.
  • It’s a great time for reflection, celebration, and nature connection.
  • Cannabis culture can blend beautifully with lunar rituals to enhance mindfulness and intention.

World Oceans Day @ TTOGR

World Oceans Day

One Ocean, One Climate, One Future — Together

Every year on June 8th, we celebrate World Oceans Day — a global reminder that our blue planet’s beating heart is its oceans. Covering over 70% of Earth’s surface, the ocean connects us all. It generates the oxygen we breathe, regulates the climate, feeds billions, and supports an incredible diversity of life. Without a healthy ocean, there is no healthy planet.

This year’s theme, “Catalyzing Action for Our Ocean & Climate,” calls for bold, collective efforts to protect marine ecosystems and restore the balance between humanity and nature.


Why the Ocean Matters

The ocean is far more than a picturesque vacation backdrop. It plays a critical role in climate regulation, carbon absorption, and oxygen production. It’s also a source of livelihood for over 3 billion people globally.

But today, our oceans are under threat:

  • 🌡️ Rising ocean temperatures and acidification are destroying coral reefs and marine life.
  • 🧴 Plastic pollution has reached even the deepest trenches of the sea.
  • 🐟 Overfishing disrupts food chains and coastal economies.
  • ⛴️ Oil spills and noise pollution threaten biodiversity and fragile habitats.

What You Can Do: Be a Wave of Change

You don’t have to live near a beach to make a difference. Small changes ripple into big impacts:

♻️ Reduce Plastic Use
Say no to single-use plastics. Carry reusable bags, bottles, and utensils, and support plastic-free brands.

🐟 Choose Sustainable Seafood
Opt for seafood certified by programs like the MSC or shop from local fishers using ethical practices.

🚿 Eco-Friendly Products
Use reef-safe sunscreens, biodegradable cleaners, and clothing made from organic or recycled materials.

🗳️ Support Policy & Protection
Advocate for marine-protected areas (MPAs) and climate policies that protect the ocean.


A Blue-Green Connection: Cannabis & the Ocean

Cannabis culture often intersects with nature appreciation—and that includes our oceans. Sustainable cannabis cultivation practices, such as reduced water use and eco-conscious packaging, help prevent runoff and waste that could harm marine ecosystems.

When you enjoy a beachside sesh, a mindful smoke near the coast, or just a sea-salt breeze after a long day, remember that the serenity you’re enjoying depends on healthy oceans.


Quick Recap:

  • World Oceans Day celebrates and protects the planet’s most vital ecosystem.
  • This year’s theme urges us to take climate-conscious action for ocean health.
  • Everyone can make a difference—no matter where you live.
  • Sustainability in cannabis culture can help support clean oceans.

Restore Our Earth, Respect Its Rhythm

World Environment Day is celebrated every year on June 5th and is the United Nations’ primary platform for raising awareness and action on the most pressing environmental issues of our time. This year’s theme is “Land Restoration, Desertification, and Drought Resilience” — a call to heal the land, revive ecosystems, and build a more sustainable relationship with nature.

World Environment Day isn’t just about sounding alarms — it’s about planting hope. It reminds us that healing is possible when we act together with urgency, creativity, and care.


Why It Matters

Our environment is not an abstract concept; it’s our home, our lifeline, and our legacy. Yet, human activity has pushed Earth’s natural systems to the brink:

  • Over 75% of the Earth’s land is already degraded in some way.
  • One-third of the world’s arable land has been lost in the last 40 years.
  • 1 in 4 people are already affected by drought, and that number is rising due to climate change.

Healthy land supports life. From food production and clean water to biodiversity and climate balance, restoring our planet’s ecosystems is the key to securing a livable future.


What You Can Do: Small Acts, Big Impact

We all have a role in rebuilding the relationship between people and the planet. Whether you’re living in a city apartment or a rural home, there are practical ways to make a difference:

🌱 Plant Native Trees or Wildflowers
They protect soil, provide habitat, and capture carbon. Even a balcony garden helps pollinators and supports biodiversity.

💧 Conserve Water
Fix leaks, collect rainwater, and choose drought-resistant plants in your garden. Every drop counts.

🍽️ Reduce Food Waste
Wasted food means wasted land, water, and energy. Composting scraps also returns nutrients to the soil.

🚶‍♀️ Rethink Transportation
Walk, bike, or take public transit when possible. Less fuel means cleaner air and lower carbon emissions.

🛍️ Support Regenerative Brands
Choose companies that prioritize sustainability and eco-conscious practices—from clothing to cannabis.


Nature and Cannabis: A Green Connection

The cannabis plant itself is a powerful symbol of regeneration. It grows fast, restores soil, and can be cultivated sustainably with the right practices. Whether used medicinally or recreationally, let cannabis culture remain grounded in respect for the Earth—from seed to sale.

When you light up under the sky, hike through forests, or meditate on a patch of grass, remember: your peace is rooted in the planet’s health.


Quick Recap

  • World Environment Day (June 5th) encourages global action to protect and restore ecosystems.
  • This year’s theme: Land restoration, drought resilience, and healing degraded Earth.
  • We can all make a difference through small, everyday actions.
  • Cannabis culture and climate care can—and should—grow together.
