Marijuana legalization is on the ballot in five states this election season - Arizona, New Jersey, South Dakota, Montana, and (for medical only) Mississippi.  Velobar supports those measures, and here's why: Job Creation Millions of dollars in tax revenue for vital public services Tax savings of millions of dollars per year  Focus law enforcement on more serious and violent crimes End disproportionate arrests of young, Black, and Hispanic people Although Velobar products are made from hemp, not marijuana, we originally started as a marijuana-infused edible for medical patients in O ..read more

You're managing work, family, school, and social life through a global freaking pandemic. So your go-to snack better be made with clean, environmentally-friendly ingredients, and it better chill you the hell out. We started Velobar in 2016 as a healthy cannabis edible for medical marijuana patients in Oregon. Our reasoning at the time was - if you're seeking wellness from plant-based medicine, why not boost that natural medicine with natural plant-based superfoods?  Nowadays, we could all use a little plant-based medicine.

There are a number of reasons I decided to get into the CBD business, but chief among them was the desire to make an honest living by helping people get relief from plant medicine.  Over the nearly five-year span our health-focused CBD snack bar has been on the market, I think it's fair to say we've helped a lot of folks gain some very tangible benefits.

But all t ..read more

When I was a barefoot commune kid hoeing weeds in our organic garden in the early 70s I never would have imagined that marijuana would ever be legal, much less that I would eventually start a CBD edibles company. I also couldn't possibly have imagined that along the way I would morph from feral hippie child to punk rock teenager, and from there to Japanese interpreter, film and television producer, and medical marijuana processor. But looking back and connecting the dots, in a strange way it actually all seems to make perfect sense. So when my good friend Manny Ch ..read more

It probably all started with music. Black and white jazz musicians smoking muggles  and jamming together back in the 1920s and 30s were among the first to start breaking down racial barriers. It's also fairly well-documented that white racists reacted to that by propagandizing the lies of Reefer Madness, outlawing hemp and cannabis, and starting a War on Drugs that specifically targeted anti-war activists and people of color. A few choice quotes from Henry Anslinger, the first head of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics (precursor to the DEA),  ..read more
