Blackspace Studios Receives Sponsorship From Flower Company

Weed is taking over the world as in just eight years the worldwide expenditure on legal marijuana is slated to reach $57 Billion according to Forbes. So it’s no surprise that you can find a new dispensary opening up on just about any street corner in the states who have passed legalization. This can be a good thing, and it can be a bad thing as well. If you’re a regular weed smoker, finding the best deals is something companies such as weedmaps have taken advantage of. But a new company is making serious waves in the legal cannabis industry and is the biggest threat to any dispensary in your hometown. Flower Company is a wholesale cannabis club that offers members premium quality cannabis at wholesale prices. No costco card required, just put down a sign up fee of $79 dollars and you’re a member with access to the cheapest flower prices you’ll be able to find. Founder Tony Diepenbrock IV had a vision of a disrupting the cannabis industry in a way that not many can do.

Their website includes information on their norcal farms and ISO certified testing labs and it is obvious that there is a strong relationship between the involved parties. The company is gaining popularity for the simple math in the cost effective business model. This process pays for itself after just your first order depending on the product selection. Saving 30%-50% on each transaction, that $79 activation fee reduces the average price of ounces by that and potentially even more. Los Angeles is the largest legal market for Cannabis in the world. “There is an element of bringing Northern California (cannabis) to southern California,” says Diepenbrock. “As you get further away from Humboldt, which is where 60% of the countries weed is grown, it gets more expensive with lower quality… we want to bring the source directly here.” Diepenbrock also stated that one of the biggest factors in his decision to start Flower Company was the issue of the black market cannabis industry which still holds 80% of the overall cannabis market. Companies have had a hard time transitioning consumers into the regulated arena. “In LA especially, the taxes are so high and it’s decriminalized, so there really isn’t a strong incentive for the average consumer to go buy from the store,” says Deipenbrock. Flower Co is here to change that. Sign up at www.flowercompany.com and get 40% off your plug.

Kanye West imposter finesses NYFW for $900K

versace-fall-2019-arrivals.jpg

A former G.O.O.D music affiliate successfully booked a promised performance during the highly anticipated New York Fashion Week claiming to be Ye’s team.

Social media can be toxic due to certain lifestyles people portray on either Instagram or in 280 characters or less. But finessing on the gram is easy. Much harder to do? Get the world’s largest fashion event to throw you a cool $900,000 for claiming to be the rep for Kanye West himself.

German fashion designer and business owner Phillip Plein was “secretly” contacted by someone claiming to be Kanye’s rep and who was looking to have Ye pull up and perform at the one place where both fashion and culture collide most significantly. This was obviously a dream booking for Plein, who carelessly went straight into negotiations for the performance to take place. The deal was quick and the money was wired to an account that has since been cleared and gone ghost.

Sometimes all you need in life is one finesse.
