In this essay, Rhiannon Firth reads from an article published in DOPE Magazine issue 22, which is part 2 of a 2-part summary of her latest book, Disaster Anarchy: Mutual Aid and Radical Action, published by Pluto Press last Autumn. In it, she offers a response to the question: Do anarchist approaches to disaster relief have more to offer beyond state-friendly 'social capital', mopping up the failures of the austere neoliberal state? How do anarchists engaged in disaster relief stay radical, rather than just papering over the cracks in a failing neoliberal system? Rhiannon Firth is Lecturer in Sociology of Education at IOE, UCL's faculty of Education and Society. Her most recent publication is Disaster Anarchy: Mutual Aid and Radical Action (Pluto 2022) and she is soon to publish the co-edited volume Utopian and Dystopian Explorations of Pandemics and Ecological Breakdown: Entangled Futurities (Palgrave, 2024).

MJ Unpacked is focused on offering a more personable experience for attendees to connect, collaborate and access capital. We even heard there's a gong in the middle of the trade show floor where you can celebrate every time you make a deal! George's energy about the cannabis industry and his vision for this event is truly infectious.

Derek Cross chats with Alice Moon about her bout with CHS;Alice Moon is a cannabis entrepreneur living in Los Angeles, California. Her career in cannabis started in 2011 as a trimmer and budtender. While working at a dispensary, Moon wrote edible reviews to help consumers make informed purchasing decisions. Her blog led to edible sales at the dispensary tripling. Moon quickly discovered that consumers with dietary restrictions had trouble finding edibles that suited their needs, so she spent 2 years working on a solution to this problem. In 2017 she launched Swallow, The World's Largest Edible Directory, which was coined “The Yelp of Edibles”. The web app helped consumers find the right edible for them based on dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten free, sugar free, etc), location, and reviews. Swallow was nominated Best Tech at the Dope Magazine 2017 SoCal Awards. Moon self funded the company and lacked the resources to scale and perfect the tech, so she ultimately shut down the company at the end of 2017. In 2018, Moon was diagnosed with Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome and had to cease cannabis use completely. This led to her shifting her career towards Public Relations and Event Production. In May 2018, she co-produced and co-hosted the California Cannabis Awards, which was the first cannabis event to be held at LA Live. From October 2018 to April 2019, Moon worked as Director of Public Relations for ParagonSpace, a coworking space for the cannabis industry. Moon was named by Green Entrepreneur as a top 100 Most Important Women in Cannabis in 2019. www.alicemoon.lawww.cannabinoid-hyperemesis.comhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/what-is-chs-cannabinoid-hyperemesis-syndrome-marijuana-vomiting-hot-showers-110007595.htmlwww.thehempchat.com#CHS #Hemp #Cannabis #Education
