This last weekend Respect My Region came into ThinkSpace in South Lake Union to power a holistic house party.

We hope to further bring together positive forces in both cannabis and hip-hop to create safe-spaces where everyone can have fun and learn something new. Whether that be about cannabis, music, life, or themselves.
