Pull up and chair and let us tell you a story.
Last summer a single southern guy realized the world needed some more laughter, more music and a fresh look at cannabis.
Yes, cannabis, the much maligned, but quickly-becoming-legal-plant that over 45 million people in North America use every year. We found that some of our friends sneak to acquire it in order to alleviate symptoms of chronic pain and disease, while others wax nostalgic about their experiences with the herb in college. We found that so many people are confused about marijuana today, and those who were confused often remained silent about the topic.
Whether or not you believe cannabis is a miracle drug is up to you, but at the very least we know that it is helpful. Our Highway and Rx sections help consumers to understand today’s marijuana and how to use it. We are lucky to have some great experts in medicinal cannabis who aim to clearly and concisely bring honest information to the public.
But The Fresh Toast is more than cannabis. Everyone needs to have fun, so we have packed the site with loads of cheeky information and giggles: food, drink, pop culture, sex, and much more.
The Fresh Toast wants to create smiles and spur conversation. We aren’t political—there is more than enough of that right now. We want to build community.
As our journey progressed, Eric Snow joined as CTO/COO and now President, building the site and company. Then along came Kelly Barbieri, our Editor-in-Chief, who is helping to build content you can enjoy and learn from every day.
We have a great team of writers, editors, photo wizards, and tech and sales masters, along with a variety of backers from a wide range of industries, backgrounds, and, yes, even political persuasions.
Our hope is you will explore The Fresh Toast and savor it each morning with your first cup of coffee—or whatever helps you wake up. And don’t be selfish, share the good stuff with your friends.
Thank you so much for reading!
