This month, we had the opportunity to launch a limited 710 collaboration with the iconic plant-based fast-food chain, Mr Charlie's. Together, we dropped the exclusive Weedmaps Munchie Meal, complete with their signature not a burger and crispy fries, along with limited-edition apparel inspired by a classic stoner film and a collectible accessory, Stoner Eyes, our very own take on eyedrops. Thank you to everyone who made this collaboration possible and to the community who came out to support. It was incredible to see so many people come together for this drop. #cannabiscommunity #cannabisculture #weedmaps

Few can push the cannabis conversation forward quite like Alice Dos Reis, our Content & Social Media Manager. At the intersection of passion, purpose, and precision, she’s a trusted voice both within Weedmaps and across the cannabis ecosystem. Her leadership empowers both businesses and consumers—from deep dives into cultivation, sustainability, and hashmaking—to content that highlights the cultural roots and future of cannabis. Alice recently led updating our dataset on cannabis concentrates, a key initiative that provides consumers with a clearer understanding of extract classifications and usage just in time for 7/10. The update was also a crucial step in helping brands, retailers, and product developers better categorize, explain, and differentiate their offerings in a growing market. The project not only supported better user experiences but also reinforces Weedmaps' position as a trusted resource in the cannabis supply chain. Her leadership doesn't stop here. Outside of Weedmaps, Alice was recognized by Forbes as one of “The New Faces of Weed.” She launched a hash brand celebrated for its product innovation, as well as being founder and CEO of Girls in Green, a global platform championing harm reduction and cannabis education. In every space she operates, Alice is a connector of people, ideas, and communities—helping elevate the cannabis conversation through credibility, clarity, and care. Thank you, Alice, for helping shape the future of cannabis—one story, one product, and one community at a time. 💚
