Award-winning dancer, choreographer, and reality TV star Jay Jackson (stage name Laganja Estranja) has a habit of making straight men uncomfortable. Even more so at cannabis events, which often ooze bro culture, despite the queers who made legalization even possible. Kick your platform heels off, relax your feet, and take a dab with Laganja Estranja as she recounts performing at her first weed shows, and how she soldiered on. “It’s OK to be different and smoke pot. That’s the whole point. Maybe you need to smoke more,” she tells Leafly.
