Puff ‘n’ Ponder

Ever find yourself craving deep, soulful conversations — the kind that go way beyond the typical stoner talk or surface-level small talk? Wish you could connect with like-minded elevated stoners who think outside the box and outside the mainstream? Now’s your chance.

Puff 'n' Ponder is a new co-ed community for the consciously high — those of us who don’t quite vibe with traditional stoner culture, but also don’t fit neatly into "normal" society either. We're here for the thinkers, feelers, seekers and creatives who want to expand their minds and their circles — all while sparking up.

While I plan to host a variety of gatherings in the future, this first event will kick off what I hope becomes our signature tradition: a monthly Stoned & Scholarly Book Club — where cannabis meets consciousness.

For our first meetup, we’ll gather at The Woods, a stunning, upscale cannabis lounge in the heart of West Hollywood, co-owned by Woody Harrelson. Picture this: lush greenery, a serene koi pond, cozy seating, and the freedom to enjoy a joint or a latte — or both — in style. There’s even an option to reserve a private cabana overlooking the pond if everyone is open to splitting the cost.

Our first read: ”When Things Fall Apart: Heart Advice for Difficult Times” by Pema Chödrön. It’s a compassionate, Buddhist-inspired guide to navigating personal struggles — something many of us could use a little help with right now, given the state of the world.

This is my very first time hosting, so I'm totally open to suggestions. Want a different date or time? Prefer a different book? Let me know — this group is for us, and I’d love to co-create it with your input.

Can’t wait to vibe, read, and reflect with you.
