About BudforBlood™️
Bud for Blood is a cannabis industry awareness initiative addressing the critical blood shortage in the U.S. Created by entrepreneur Kristen Yoder, the educational campaign is rallying the cannabis industry to encourage customers and stakeholders throughout the community to donate blood.
BudforBlood partners with cannabis businesses, organizations and media outlets to spread awareness about the huge impact giving blood can have on saving lives. Americans who submit a donor selfie or other proof of blood donation via the iniative’s website will receive a free “Team #BudforBlood” hemp t-shirt featuring the logos of the sponsors powering the campaign.
About Kristen Yoder
Kristen Yoder is an outspoken and trusted authority figure in the cannabis industry, known for calling out BS on her podcast, The CannaBS Detector, which has recently been rebranded as The Cynical Stoner Podcast. For over seventeen years, her ability to cut through the noise and deliver sound expertise with blunt wit has led to speaking appearances, moderating conference panels, being featured in Vanity Fair, Forbes, USA Today and having been named one of MJ Venture Magazine’s “40 Under 40 Rising Stars of Cannabis.” As founder of Cynical Stoner, a guerilla education campaign disguised as an apparel brand, Yoder has found an antidote to her cynicism through organizing stoners and cannabis companies to donate blood, inspire action and lift community spirits.
