What a year we\u2019ve had, am I right? We\u2019ve made it through another 12 months (that felt a lot more like 24), and we\u2019ve lived through Richter-scale-level news only about\u2026 every single day?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Between a sneaky <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/possible-implications-of-the-new-thc-ban\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">hemp ban added to the federal budget<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and an official <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/president-trump-signs-executive-order-to-reschedule-cannabis\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">executive order to reschedule cannabis<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (after three years of waiting) in the last few months<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it\u2019s hard to keep up with even the changes in the cannabis industry <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">alone<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. My head is dizzy, my brain feels full, and I open more notifications from Ganjapreneur and Marijuana Moment than I do from my own friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And yes, it\u2019s certainly easy to feel overwhelmed or powerless when you\u2019re constantly faced with massive changes largely out of your control. I know I feel it. Many times this year, I found myself lying on the couch in the Veriheal studio (shoutout Room 420) or flopping into armchairs across from my colleagues as we process the world\u2019s changes together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But those conversations hold something special (and it\u2019s not something that can be recreated with Chat, no matter how often he validates our ideas). These discussions always bring out our best ideas. When we share our perspectives, experiences, and passions, our differences give each of us a more holistic understanding of our industry and a more well-rounded toolbox for what we\u2019re going to do about it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-40738\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a65ff0cf-26dc-440a-83d3-ec869098f7f7.png\" alt=\"veriheal team laughing and working together\" width=\"2116\" height=\"1408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a65ff0cf-26dc-440a-83d3-ec869098f7f7.png 2116w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a65ff0cf-26dc-440a-83d3-ec869098f7f7-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a65ff0cf-26dc-440a-83d3-ec869098f7f7-1024x681.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a65ff0cf-26dc-440a-83d3-ec869098f7f7-768x511.png 768w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a65ff0cf-26dc-440a-83d3-ec869098f7f7-1536x1022.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/a65ff0cf-26dc-440a-83d3-ec869098f7f7-2048x1363.png 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2116px) 100vw, 2116px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last month, I celebrated two years as Editor in Chief at Veriheal. In this role, I have the distinct privilege of living in the best of both worlds: sometimes deep in the field with the crops and the details, and sometimes high above with the birds, looking down on the big picture.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I\u2019ve seen the massive growth this company has undergone, and I\u2019m privileged to have been at so many tables where the seeds of this growth were first planted. These tables are sometimes cross-departmental, often cross-continental, and always populated by brilliant minds who care about making the world a better place through education, patient advocacy, and quality, accessible wellness support.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rotation Magazine <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was born at one of those tables. This year, we officially launched the first two issues of our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/rotation\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">beloved print publication<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, giving us the opportunity to spotlight necessary conversations in our industry and adjacent subcultures. Equal parts silly and editorial, scrappy and polished, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rotation <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is perhaps the best representation of the soul behind Veriheal. In its pages, we have the opportunity to raise awareness, tell stories, educate, and remind the world that there <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">is <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">some good still in it, found in art, community, and, of course, weed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_40739\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-40739\" style=\"width: 542px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-40739\" src=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/b8cb16f1-0d38-4e18-a4ac-10ba79e23ef8.png\" alt=\"blue magazine cover for rotation magazine issue 2 september 2025\" width=\"542\" height=\"703\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/b8cb16f1-0d38-4e18-a4ac-10ba79e23ef8.png 850w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/b8cb16f1-0d38-4e18-a4ac-10ba79e23ef8-231x300.png 231w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/b8cb16f1-0d38-4e18-a4ac-10ba79e23ef8-790x1024.png 790w, https:\/\/www.veriheal.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/b8cb16f1-0d38-4e18-a4ac-10ba79e23ef8-768x996.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 542px) 100vw, 542px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-40739\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Cover art for Rotation Magazine, September 2025 | Original artwork by Hayley Steiner<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rotation<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> is just one of the big shifts we\u2019ve marked this year. At the same time, Veri MedTech expanded what care can actually look like for our patients. Our doctors now do so much more than certify medical marijuana cards: they help with the practical reality of using medical cannabis. That can mean writing letters for landlords, employers, law enforcement, and others. It also means having honest conversations with you about how cannabis can fits into your existing wellness routine (prescriptions included). It\u2019s all building on the same core values that have always guided our work: patients deserve relief, dignity, and the freedom to use their medicine on their terms.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And speaking of those values, they\u2019ve brought us even closer to something that once felt almost impossible. This year, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/money\/topstocks\/veri-medtech-files-registration-statement-for-ipo\/ar-AA1QB1Fi?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Veri MedTech filed to begin the IPO process<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. And while this process is just beginning, the fact remains: this public offering would make us the first company of our kind to list on a major stock exchange. This shift is one that asks us to look back at how far we\u2019ve come from our door-to-door beginnings, and to appreciate the people, patients, and conversations that made it possible.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In other words, we\u2019re on the precipice of a beautiful new chapter, where cannabis is officially, legally medicine, and those who have been advocating all along can finally scale to amplify impact.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And I don\u2019t know about you, but I can\u2019t wait to see what happens next together.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Happy New Year,<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kym\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kymberly Drapcho, <\/span><\/i><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Editor in Chief<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi friend,\u00a0 It\u2019s so good to see you.
