I am excited to finally share with you what I have been doing for the last year in Seattle with @aproperhigh 😃🙃 A lot of you have been asking me on FB, “What do you do?”. Essentially, what the Proper Cannabis Committee does is rate premium cannabis products as part of a consumer trials program. I use a proprietary app to track my entire experience with the product. Everything I rate is blinded to remove brand or product bias. I then score the products on different components including aroma, flavor, mouthfeel, and effect. In this process, I note the body high, head high, and any side effects over the course of experiencing the product. My ratings data goes into the Proper Score and then it helps consumers find the best cannabis products for them in the Seattle Market 🙃😃💖 #findyourhigh I started my journey into the cannabis industry 9 years ago with the intent to help patients. Today, that goal still remains. I feel so honored to be able to work alongside other passionate people with the same goal. I would of never imagined that when I first smoked cannabis in 7th grade it would lead me to where I am today 💕 I am beyond grateful for all the people I have met along the way on this journey, good and bad. And especially to all my supporters and fans of my work 💞 You have all helped me to grow in so many different ways 🙏
