Author Profile
Mike Ford
Founder of Big Bud Smoker's Club
Founder and Editor, BBSC Publications
Mike Ford is the public and professional publishing name behind the editorial, media, and creative work of Big Bud Smoker's Club.
Built from Peoria and the 309, BBSC was created to give cannabis culture a platform that sounds like the people it represents: real, informed, proud, and community-first.
Mike's work brings together cannabis culture, public policy, patient concerns, advocacy, commentary, news, legal-resource explainers, comics, satire, and creative media. The goal is not to make cannabis culture look corporate. It is to help the culture tell its own story while giving the community useful information it can understand and act on.

The Approach
Tell the truth. Show the receipts. Respect the culture. Keep the community in the room.
BBSC Publications may publish reporting, analysis, opinion, advocacy, satire, sponsored material, or creative work. Content is labeled so readers can understand what they are viewing and where it comes from.
From the 309 to the larger cannabis community.
BBSC carries Peoria roots, but its purpose reaches far beyond one city or one state. Mike's long-term focus is building stronger connections between cannabis consumers, patients, creators, businesses, advocates, and communities across the United States and Canada.
This is cannabis culture speaking for itself, not being spoken for.
