C.J. Wallace, son of “The Notorious B.I.G” is working hard to make a difference in cannabis, this according to a report by Forbes.

Together with his partner Willie Mack, Wallace created cannabis company Think BIG in 2019 as a tribute to his father.

Since that time, the company has evolved, according to Forbes.

Instead of focusing on only the healing power of cannabis, Think BIG is tackling issues like social justice and equality that have been center state in America in 2020, the outlet reported.

“This past year has been a great learning experience... You have to evolve,” Wallace told Forbes.



“We can no longer stand idly by while our people struggle in the face of unjust laws,” Think Big’s leadership state’s on the company website.

“The war on cannabis has destroyed so many lives. As a company that believes in the healing power of cannabis, we have a responsibility to fight for change. We can no longer stand idly by while our people struggle in the face of unjust marijuana laws and environmental policies that disproportionately target people of color. That’s why we support organizations that advocate for social and criminal justice reform, including the fights against mass incarceration and climate change.”

Sex on Shrooms: How to Prepare Yourself

If you’ve tripped on psilocybin (a.k.a., magic mushrooms) before, you’re already well aware what an intense experience it can be. And if shrooms can take an average activity like listening to music to an entirely different universe, you can probably imagine what sex on shrooms might feel like. 

As intense and amazing as mushroom sex can be, it can also be an incredibly negative experience if you’re not careful. Most psychotropic substances are best experienced when you curate the right set and setting, and sex on magic mushrooms is no different.
