Random Thoughts:

Invictus – this company has Gene Simmons as their front man and Chief Evangelist Officer.  I will not support this brand, as Gene Simmons has been actively against (slandered and spread misinformation) on cannabis.  He is strictly trying to cash in and has no love/passion or positivity towards this amazing plant.  It is straight exploitation and he is a sell-out.  Definite avoid.

Fireside – I’ve had a change of heart, and since these guys fed me S’Mores, I will try their product at some point.

The Day has Come..........Congratulations Canada
