Episode 10 of Flowers & Tea is here 🌸🫖 and the ladies finally found a winner.

After sitting down with so many guests who shared the unexpected challenges of navigating the cannabis industry… this conversation hits different.

This week, we’re joined by Ariel Mizrahi of Bud 2 Bloom Dispensary, a true example of what it looks like to do it right. From taking her time, to lobbying a town to opt in, to building real relationships that mattered — Ariel didn’t just enter the industry… she positioned herself to win. And today, she stands as the only dispensary in her town.

In this episode, Ariel breaks down:

✨ How she successfully convinced a municipality to opt into cannabis

✨ The power of relationship-building and community trust

✨ Strategic patience vs rushing the process

✨ The reality of starting in Jersey City — and why Netcong became the move

✨ What operators need to understand if they want to last in this industry

This is a conversation full of real strategy, real lessons, and real gems — not just talk.

If you’re trying to navigate cannabis smarter, build something sustainable, or understand what actually works behind the scenes… this episode is for you.

Episode 8 of Flowers & Tea welcomes communications strategist and cannabis industry veteran Gia Morón to the table.

Sponsored by Ascend and filmed live at The Other Side Dispensary in Jersey City, Dr. Beast, Danielle, and new co-host Chirali Patel & Rosemarie Moyene Matos sit down with Gia to unpack the real power behind communications, leadership, and influence in the cannabis industry.

With nearly three decades of experience spanning entertainment, Wall Street, and entrepreneurship — including 15 years at Goldman Sachs and leadership as President of Women Grow — Gia shares insights on building brands, preparing founders for crisis before it happens, and why media training is critical for entrepreneurs navigating public industries.

The conversation also dives into the gap between representation and real power for women in cannabis, the realities behind social equity programs, and Gia’s work bringing cannabis education into faith spaces through the Cannabis Business Summit series in New York City.

Flowers & Tea returns for Season 2 with Episode 7, and the table opens with a legendary female hip hop voice. Sponsored by Ascend and filmed live at the Ignite Conference in Jersey City, Dr. Beast and Danielle sit down with hip-hop icon, cultural force, and Newark’s own Rah Digga (Dirty Harriet) for a conversation that moves far beyond music.

Together they unpack leadership, cannabis culture, and the evolving responsibility of public voices in shaping industries and communities. Rah Digga also introduces her new cannabis strain, available exclusively through Mister Jones, bringing her signature authenticity and Jersey energy directly into the cannabis space.

The discussion flows through culture, entrepreneurship, and the realities of building influence in an emerging industry — blending Rah’s legacy in hip-hop with the growing intersection of cannabis, community, and opportunity.

Season 2 of Flowers & Tea features a powerful lineup of women who are leaders, builders, advocates, and change-makers across cannabis, policy, media, and business. Every woman who sits at this table brings a perspective that pushes the conversation forward.

This season isn’t just about dialogue — it’s about elevating women’s voices, challenging systems, and contributing to real change in the cannabis industry.

The queens have taken their seats.

The conversation begins.
