Respect My Region Launches 2nd Annual ‘North American Weed Tour’

Seattle-based cannabis events and media firm Respect My Region announced the return of its North American Weed Tour, the company’s annual podcast and product review series highlighting cannabis businesses, entrepreneurs, and products in legal markets throughout the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.

The tour will take place from July 10 to December 15, 2022, and is set to include 250 podcast episodes and Instagram Live Streams featuring legal cannabis products and the manufacturers, cultivators, and retailers behind them, as well as the technology firms and other ancillary services working behind-the-scenes in the cannabis industry.

“After last year’s overwhelmingly successful tour, we’re excited to scale the campaign to include more than just product reviews and podcast interviews,” Respect My Region Co-owner Joseph Brabo said in a press release. “This year, we’ve added 420 University, an educational series with Betty Krocker Bakes and myself, the Legacy Cannabis Podcast hosted by Adam Ill, and the Gas or Trash Instagram Live Stream and Podcast series hosted by Mistah Cannabis. Additionally, our team is launching the Canadian Cannabis Podcast, Northeast Cannabis Podcast, and the Midwest Cannabis Podcast.”

CEO Mitch Pfeifer said the new tour enables the company to further magnify “the stories of new brands and businesses across North America,” and that they crafted the tour “to have a greater impact on cannabis brands in emerging markets while also amplifying the success of industry leaders and innovators.”
