Why FUMABUMA?
Since the early 20th century, the level of confusion and disinformation about cannabis of all types, whether it be medical, adult use, hemp or black market, is absurd.

Since the early 20th century, the level of confusion and disinformation about cannabis of all types, whether it be medical, adult use, hemp or black market, is absurd. Add the conflicting federal and state regulatory/legal ramifications for both consumers and businesses to the equation and...well...it's almost impossible to find a reliable source of information that can help process all the competing data...until now. FUMABUMA's programs are designed to cut through the clutter and help the 55+ Active Adult community understand the context, politics, and potential personal wellness aspects surrounding cannabis.
Who Does FUMABUMA Serve?
Active Adult Communities
Active Adult Communities have become extremely popular in the United States over the past few decades. Most of these communities attract their members because they offer a multitude of interesting activities that help build real relationships and vibrant communities. In addition to group recreational and athletic programs, continuing education programs that help keep the communities abreast of contemporary trends and events are also part of the experience. FUMABUMA can be part of the program lineup for any adult community wishing to expose their members to the ever-evolving and maturing world of cannabis.
Cannabis Retailers
Whether your state allows medical cannabis, adult-use cannabis, hemp cannabis, or a combination of all three varieties, cannabis retailers are looking to expand their footprint and acquire new customers. The active adult demographic is an important market because:
1) there is great interest in wellness and solving various ailments that come with a maturing body 2) they have plenty of discretionary income 3) they are looking for new and different topics to help educate themselves and connect with their children and grandchildren. FUMABUMA helps cannabis retailers educate the active adult demographic by presenting cannabis in a fun and entertaining way. We can help put cannabis in a context the market can understand, appreciate, and de-stigmatize the topic in a balanced fashion.
Cannabis Consumer Products Companies
If you manufacture and/or sell cannabis products through legal wholesale or retail channels, the success of your product depends on exposing that product to new users that may have absolutely no idea how to interact with your product. Building brand awareness and ultimately brand equity starts with a positive first impression. FUMABUMA can give your product that much needed first impression in a fashion that would otherwise be impossible, especially for the active adult demographic. Through its comprehensive programming, FUMABUMA may be able to include your product in one or more of its events, especially if the inclusion of your product makes programmatic sense with the overall program content.
