  • Joshua Owens: “Having woken up each day to MM for some time now, one thing has become clear: Tom, Kyle, Ben and team are straight ballers, sprinting ahead at the forefront of social betterment. Rather than flooding my inbox with ads or meaningless content, each weekday I receive something I actually want: the gospel of ganja, meditations on marijuana, nugs of weed wisdom, predictions on pot policy, exposés on the costs of continued cannabis prohibition. How I spend my money matters, so it’s with gladness that I contribute to this work.”
