The “safety meeting” is a sacred speakeasy sort of tradition on the slopes. You might call for one because your legs are sore from shredding so much gnar and you need a break. Maybe you call one because the crowds are crimping your vibe. Sometimes, you don’t even need a reason at all — you just feel like a safety meeting is necessary.
Whatever the motivation, there’s an unwritten rule in the mountains: When you hear those magic words (“safety meeting!“), it’s time to dip into the nearest trees, huddle up with your friends, bust out the safety kit, and spark up. You mellow out, slow down, find your flow state, and tickle your après appetite with a light green buzz. And suddenly, everyone seems to be skiing a little better.
The folks from Dad Grass and the Mountain Gazette are really into this kind of safety. They want to make sure that all the “shreddy and heady girls and guys who make mountain towns tick” can stay safe out there without drawing too much attention to themselves, and without getting too safe that it becomes a hazard (if you know what we mean).
So the mountain culture alt magazine and the organic hemp flower pre-roll company joined forces. They came together and dreamed up the ultimate safety kit for skiers and riders — a decoy stash kit stocked with Dad Grass Hemp CBD or Mom Grass CBG pre-rolled joints, and disguised to look like, well, an actual safety kit.
And they can ship them to you anywhere in the US.
Mountain Grassette Safety Kit With Dad Grass
As you’ve probably caught on by now, we’re talking about weed here. Or rather, in the case of Dad Grass’ pre-rolls, we’re talking about hemp.
“[Dad Grass] is based around this simple idea that today’s weed gets you too damn high,” explained Ben Starmer, the co-founder of Dad Grass. He likens it to alcohol: Occasionally you want a strong cocktail or a shot — but not always. Sometimes you just want a light beer. And unfortunately, almost every strain of weed coming out of recreational dispensaries today is in the 20-30% THC range. Which is enough to knock almost anyone on their butt.
“We set out to create a really high-quality product that was much lower potency. And we did that with smokable hemp,” he said.
Which, thanks to the 2018 Farm Bill, is fully federally legal. Hemp flower contains less than 0.3% THC, so when you smoke it, you get all the cannabinoid benefits, without the psychoactive effects that send you to the moon. It’s like having a light beer instead of a shot of tequila, Starmer said.
“It just kind of chills you out and relaxes the anxieties of the day and puts a nice wide smile on your face,” he said. “They give you a nice little head shift.”
And that makes them perfect for an on-mountain safety meeting. But, the idea for this safety kit didn’t fully form until Dad Grass and the Mountain Gazette came together.
