Welcome to the Tea Pad Foundation Board, Krysta Jones!

We're thrilled to announce that Krysta Jones has joined the Advisoary Board of The Tea Pad Foundation LTD.

Krysta is the founder of The Highly Connected and THC GIRLS, and has spent her career building community and opportunity for women in cannabis. She brings exactly the kind of perspective the Tea Pad mission needs: someone who understands that this industry is only as strong as the people we bring into it and the knowledge we equip them with.

Her words capture why nonrprofit Tea Pad has existed since 2019 and why we're founded in science and ensuring equity in the cannabis industry:

"Cannabis has always been STEM. Science helps us understand the plant, technology helps us advance it, engineering helps us scale it, and mathematics helps us build a sustainable industry around it."

That is the heart of Tea Pad Cannabis and plant-based medicine are built on rigorous science, and women deserve a seat at every table where that science is practiced, applied, and commercialized. Krysta's network, energy, and commitment to connection will help us expand the programs and partnerships that make that possible.

Krysta, welcome. We're lucky to have you!

Proud to spend time Saturday morning, down the ocean at in Ocean City, Maryland with Maryland Comptroller Brooke Lierman cleaning up the shoreline and dunes. America’s best governor joined in, Gov. Wes Moore!

As part of the Comptroller’s Community Corps, we picked up glass, plastics, and general waste to protect Maryland's coastal environment.

The Comptroller has been dedicated to zero-waste policies, including past sponsorship of the Plastic Bag Reduction Act as a state delegate. She championed efforts to ban expanded polystyrene food service containers in Maryland - the first in the nation!

We are honored to have time with the Gov to share an intiative our sister social enterprise CannabizMD has launched, “Initiative 183”, dedicated to ensuring that cannabis policy law, policy, and science education is implemented to support Maryland Chapter 183 (Senate Bill 149), the first in the nation state law delivering employment protections for first responders using medical cannabis. The law goes into effect October 1, 2026 without an education plan in place.

Many of our first responders’ are veterans whose service “earned” PTSD is compounded by their brave work as first responders. Medical cannabis does deliver therapeutic benefits for managing the symptoms of PTSD. Our first responders and their employers, state municipalities, need to know the potential therapeutic benefits and harms along with federal and state cannabis laws.

As a very proud daughter of an Amy Purple Heart Veteran who stormed the beaches of Normandy at 17 yo, the CannabizMD initiative honors our and CannabizMD CEO/Founder Jacquie Cohen Roth’s dad’s legacy as a man of science, strong character, and sound reason thousands of veterans and first responders like her dad.

As an Army Veteran, the Gov expressed great interest in this very necessary education plan where none currently exists.

Stay tuned for updates on CannabizMD Initiative183. Please DM to support.

🎉 Please join us in welcoming Malik Harp to the CannabizMD team!

Malik joins us as our sister CannabizMD
as its new Business Development Associate. His path here is one we’re especially proud of. We first met Malik through our state-funded CannaWorkforce training program, where his drive and command of the material stood out from the start.

Some of you may already recognize him from Maryland’s cannabis industry, where he worked as a dispensary attendant on the Eastern Shore. That frontline experience gives Malik a real understanding of what operators and agents navigate every day. This is exactly the perspective we want guiding our conversations with Maryland’s licensed operators and the entire CannabizMD ecosystem.

Welcome to the team, Malik. We’re glad you’re here. 💚
