Thanks to Sam Morrissey for the amazing video!

SunBud Solutions spent the weekend in New York launching at the New York City Cannabis Parade (cannabisparade.org) and what a blast! We went down to show our all-inclusive Sun Pod marijuana grow system and get feedback on our ideas about how to make homegrowing easy for everyone. We also went to advocate for accessibility as cannabis becomes legal and moves into the mainstream – people need to be allowed to grow their own weed! Unbelievably, New York came very close to passing legislation that would have kept the production and distribution of cannabis strictly in the hands of big business. Thanks to everyone who came out this weekend to demand sane legislation that attempts to right some of the wrongs done during the war on drugs rather than perpetuating the inequities even further. You can read more about our how the legal right to grow cannabis at home relates to social justice in our blog post “Let Us Grow”

We met a TON of really fabulous people. Organizers, cannabis advocates, passers-by…all of them amazing, and all of them so happy to be celebrating the approaching end of marijuana prohibition in New York. We met a few expert OGs at the New York City Cannabis Parade, and many more people who’ve never ever grown. It was really exciting to talk with everyone and to share our passion about how easy it is to grow marijuana in a Sun Pod grow system. People were blown away by the beautiful design combined with the fact that the Sun Pod comes ready to go with a state-of-the-art 70 watt LED light, built-in exhaust fan, timer, and a custom-designed activated charcoal filter for odor control. Our Sun Pod grow systems should be ready for sale in the fall of 2019. Be sure to sign up for our mailing list below if you want to be first in line when they are available to the public. Also follow us on Instagram and Facebook to keep up to date on our progress and to find discount codes so you can not only get a Sun Pod from the first production run, but also get a great deal while you’re at it!

We smoked weed openly with cops all around. We witnessed a park full of thousands of people openly smoking weed side by side with New York City police. We didn’t see any police officers partaking themselves, but there’s no way they didn’t get at least a little stoned from the secondhand cloud they were standing in all day long. While pot isn’t legal in New York yet, the vibe at the New York City Cannabis Parade definitely showed we’re just a hair’s breadth away from legalization in New York. The key is to get social justice addressed along with legalization

We introduced the SunBud-Mobile to the world! When the SunBud team travels, we try to go in our 1977 Volkswagon Bus. For the parade, we mounted one of our Sun Pod grow units right up top and toured the city. The happy sight of a vintage air-cooled VW Bus added a lot to the atmosphere of the day and kept us all comfy on our way to and from Vermont.

Looking forward to the 2020 NYC Cannabis Parade & Rally!
