Founded on the principles of supporting local music, inspiring others with authenticity, and having a positive impact on their community, Respect My Region (RMR) has carved out a unique niche in the media landscape, serving as a conduit between music artists, cannabis enthusiasts, and the culture at large.
At its core, Respect My Region is a multifaceted digital publication that celebrates the intersection of music and cannabis. Created by two highschool and college friends in Ellensburg, WA back in 2011, the company is composed of passionate individuals deeply ingrained in both music and cannabis culture..
RMR operates as a hub for those who share a love for the artistry of music and the culture of cannabis. With a finger on the pulse of underground scenes and emerging trends, RMR prides itself on being not just a bystander, but an active participant in shaping the cultural conversation.
One of the defining features of Respect My Region is its unwavering commitment to authenticity.
From showcasing up-and-coming musicians to highlighting innovative cannabis brands, every piece of content produced by RMR reflects a genuine passion for the culture. This authenticity has earned the publication a loyal following of like-minded individuals who trust RMR to provide honest and insightful coverage.
Central to RMR’s mission is its role as a catalyst for change within the cannabis industry.
In an era marked by legalization and commercialization, RMR champions diversity, equity, and inclusion in all aspects of the cannabis space. Through features, interviews, and investigative reporting, RMR sheds light on the stories and voices often overlooked by mainstream media.
By amplifying the perspectives of marginalized communities, RMR strives to create a more equitable industry that reflects the rich tapestry of the cannabis culture.
For 13 years, Respect My Region has also served as a platform for artists and entrepreneurs to showcase their talents and products. Whether it’s a budding musician seeking exposure or a cannabis brand looking to connect with consumers, RMR provides a space where creators can thrive. Through partnerships, events, and collaborations, RMR fosters a sense of camaraderie within the community, encouraging collaboration and mutual support among its members.
Beyond its contributions to the music and cannabis industries, Respect My Region plays a vital role in preserving and promoting cultural heritage. By chronicling the evolution of both music and cannabis culture, RMR ensures that the stories of past, present, and future generations are not forgotten. Through its platform, their team celebrates the resilience and creativity of communities that have historically been marginalized and oppressed.
