As long time believers in the value of plant medicine, we’re continually heartened by the growing awareness and mainstreaming of the practice. From the broad adoption of cannabis to advancements in marijuana legalization, and more recent research around psychedelics, it’s clear that opportunities for wellness, enlightenment and fun are becoming more valued and better understood. As a result, there are so many new brands offering treatments, products and paraphernalia—many of which are championing legal and social justice reform. We couldn’t possibly list all of them, so our Plant Medicine guide offers a round-up of our favorites chosen for their design, innovation and effectiveness. (And yes, we know that mushrooms aren’t technically plants but we love them and decided to include them anyway.)
