"Creativity and cannabis have always gone together, and with marijuana being mainstream in California for the past decade, it’s been a draw for creative professionals across the entertainment, marketing, and advertising worlds. On the bleeding edge of that movement was Masha Kupets Navarre, a veteran of the entertainment marketing world and the founder of Plastic Palmtree.

It’s no surprise Plastic Palmtree has gone bi-coastal and was recognized at this year’s Clio Cannabis Awards."
