Remedy Rolls – a Human Art

The idea for Remedy Rolls came to me one day when I was asked by a young man at ceremony if I could share some Kinnikinnick with him and his friends. I didn’t think much of it until I caught several of the boys multiple times rolling the Kinnikinnick with Cannabis and noticed a recurring pattern. I said “To heck with that, I can do it better than these knuckle-heads”, I stopped giving it away and I figured I could support the Ceremonial endeavors with the brand. It’s working. The boys didn’t know I’ve been working with these plants for a couple of few decades perfecting the art of blending smoke for flavor and for medicinal benefits. The combined flavors and medicinal properties are pure magic.

Remedy Rolls has continued to evolve since then but I say thank you, Wopila to all the boys and others I busted spiking my blends. At the end of the day, we are allowing tradition to evolve through vision and the need to meet people where they are at in this current day. Thank you to all who inspired us to do this work.
