[Seattle, WA] — [January 27, 2025] — Respect My Region (RMR), a leader in cannabis media and culture, is excited to announce a transformative partnership with Fire Craft Cooperative, a premier Mississippi-based cannabis organization committed to quality cultivation and community engagement. Together, the two organizations are launching The Mississippi Cannabis Podcast and in-person content campaigns across the state to support Mississippi’s growing cannabis industry.
Mississippi Cannabis Podcast Highlights
- The Mississippi Cannabis Podcast: A monthly series providing in-depth discussions with local cannabis professionals, policymakers, and innovators.
- RMR World Tour 2025 In-Person Content Campaigns: Exclusive on-site events and storytelling initiatives focused on Mississippi’s unique cannabis culture, brands, and industry milestones.
The partnership will deliver valuable insights, foster local connections, and showcase the stories behind Mississippi’s cannabis industry. By combining FireCraft Cooperative’s deep local knowledge with RMR’s expertise in storytelling, this initiative is set to empower cannabis businesses and educate consumers statewide.
Supporting smaller craft cannabis operators in Mississippi is crucial for fostering a diverse, sustainable, and community-focused industry. These operators bring authenticity, quality, and innovation to the market, often prioritizing unique strains, organic practices, and local connections over mass production. By supporting craft cannabis businesses, Mississippians can help create a market that values local expertise and cultivators’ dedication to their craft.
Craft operators also contribute to economic growth by creating jobs, supporting local suppliers, and reinvesting in their communities. They often face challenges competing with larger, well-funded companies due to limited resources, making community support even more critical.
Craft cannabis cultivators prioritize quality over quantity, producing products with distinct flavors, aromas, and effects that reflect Mississippi’s unique growing conditions. Choosing craft cannabis supports the local economy, ensures access to high-quality products, and empowers small businesses to thrive in a competitive market. Together, we can build a vibrant, inclusive cannabis industry.
“At Respect My Region, we’re committed to telling authentic stories that matter,” said Joey Brabo, CEO of Respect My Region. “Partnering with FireCraft Cooperative enables us to highlight the progress and potential of Mississippi’s cannabis industry while fostering connections that will drive growth and innovation.”
Fire Craft Cooperative, known for its dedication to high-quality cultivation and community impact, is equally enthusiastic about the collaboration. “This partnership with Respect My Region allows us to share Mississippi’s cannabis journey with the world,” said Christine Harrell Co-Founder of Fire Craft Cooperative. “Mississippi cannabis may be small compared to other states, but it is a unique market with hundreds of small operators, working to build an industry that lifts up the diverse and dedicated community while fighting stigmas of the Deep South.”
