In a short span of six months, the club has already amassed over 10,000 members, spending their days swapping stories, selling cannabis plant NFTs on secondary markets, and even entering crypto cannabis cup competitions.
“A while back, we started dabbling into NFTs and saw that there wasn’t anything that really represented the cannabis community,” Jimmy Fitzpatrick said.
“Now we’ve got 10,000 characters they’re called NFTokers and they’re our avatars and they’ve got nods to famous stoners who have paved the way, Cheech and Chong, Ricky Williams, Jay and Silent Bob, to name a few,” Fitzpatrick added.
“We airdropped our digital cannabis plants.
“We jumped in full force, took a big dive into this NFT space and wanted to bridge the gap in between real life cannabis and the crypto web 3 world,” Fitzpatrick said.
All in all, the founders of the Crypto Cannabis Club were greeted with a warm reception.
“We thought we were going to be doing a lot of educating to the cannabis community on NFTs, and we were shocked at how many people came up and they were showing us their crypto wallets or owned one of our NFTs.
I started out working with a guy who had invented a new technology for extraction, helped him get that business off the ground, and then I oversaw the build out of a 10 acre cannabis farm in Colorado, a 10 acre cannabis farm in Southern Colorado.
“For most of the past year I’ve been doing some consulting work, working with different brands, again, to help them get established in the new markets,” Hunter added.
“Part of it was, like I said, I’ve had significant experience doing this, but also the team at Camp Novo was just incredible to work with.
Six months ago, the founders of the company didn’t imagine they’d launch their own cannabis brand.
It’s also going to be sold to the general public and we’re going to roll those profits back in to eventually get this discount up to as high as legally possible for our holders.
In addition to educating its members on crypto, Web 3, and NFTs, it’s also a platform for networking, even for artists.
“We’re working on our V2 roadmap, our Crypto Cannabis Club games, the last thing from the original roadmap that we need to execute on, that’s in development right now,” Fitzpatrick concluded.
I was new to the NFT space but not only did they welcome me, they helped me along the way, answering my stupid questions and getting me smart on the project and the space.
