Actor, documentarian and Emmy-winning talk show host Ricki Lake has teamed up with California-based cannabis brand Stone Road Farms to launch a limited edition product Ricki Lake &amp; Bake.
"I obviously believe in this medicine, and in Stone Road's brand and what they've built," Lake stated. "It is so aligned with where I am in my life, and I&#8217;m so happy to be bringing this out."&nbsp;
Ricki Lake &amp; Bake, a half-ounce preground roll-your-own pouch made from Stone Road Farms' solventless bubble hash, is available now in dispensaries across California. The cannabis is grown on their 57-acre biodynamic farm in Nevada City, California, using high-quality buds without shake, filler or distillates. Each pouch includes bubble hash to enhance purity and potency, preserving a full-spectrum cannabinoid and terpene profile. The packaging is 99% plastic-free and features a custom Ricki Lake sticker.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Tribute To Lake's Career And Cannabis Advocacy</h2>
This collectible was created to reflect Ricki's personal affinity for the plant, "it's a tribute to her iconic career and long-standing cannabis advocacy," Stone Road Farm's founder &amp; CEO Lex Corwin said in a statement. Corwin had the idea for the collaboration after visiting Lake at her house in Malibu and discovering that she consumes cannabis and even enjoys growing her own.
"It&#8217;s funny, when I did The Ricki Lake Show from my 20s to mid-30s, I was very much a disciple of Nancy Reagan," Lake added. "I was very judgmental and close-minded: ‘Just Say No.' I was indoctrinated and very fear-filled. It wasn&#8217;t until I married my second husband, my now sadly deceased husband, who turned me on to the idea that cannabis is a medicine. Now I live in Malibu and I started my own grow a few years ago. I think this is my third or fourth season we just harvested and I&#8217;m making the most beautiful medicine that I've come to love recreationally. My new beautiful husband Ross and I, our favorite thing to do is get high at night and giggle, have great conversations, get great sleep. I mean, I&#8217;m a believer that cannabis can really help just about anything."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Breaking Stigmas</h2>
Lake has been public about her cannabis use since 2018 when she partially financed and produced Weed The People. In this film, Lake and director Abby Epstein looked to shine a light on the vitality of medical marijuana, exploring the life-saving qualities of cannabis and profiling a number of families facing life-or-death situations. The film has inspired millions of viewers to think differently about using cannabis as medicine, helping break stigmas.
With a similar mission, she currently hosts the podcast The High Life with Ricki Lake, which explores &#8220;the best phase of her life&#8221; — midlife— covering personal growth, mental wellness, and, of course, weed.

President-elect Donald Trump is reportedly close to announcing his choice for the new chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), with an official announcement potentially coming <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42269038/crypto-faces-regulatory-shift-as-gensler-exits-and-trump-prepares-to-overhaul-sec-approach">as early as tomorrow</a>.
What Happened: According to sources <a href="https://x.com/EleanorTerrett/status/1863803574121050306">cited</a> by Fox Business correspondent Eleanor Terrett, the <a href="https://x.com/EleanorTerrett/status/1863803574121050306">decision</a> comes as current SEC Chair Gary Gensler prepares to step down in January 2025.
Gensler's tenure has been marked by an aggressive enforcement approach toward cryptocurrency firms, drawing significant <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/10/41544108/gary-gensler-says-too-many-people-have-lost-money-and-lined-up-in-bankruptcy-court-highlig">criticism from the crypto community.</a>
Among the leading candidates to replace Gensler is Paul Atkins, a former SEC commissioner and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/42221293/donald-trump-eyes-former-sec-comissioner-paul-atkins-as-gary-genslers-successor">prominent advocate for deregulation</a>.
Current SEC commissioners Hester Peirce and Mark Uyeda are also under consideration. 
Both have been critical of Gensler's enforcement-heavy approach, advocating for a regulatory framework that balances innovation with investor protection.
Uyeda, in particular, has pushed for clearer guidelines and collaboration with the industry, signaling a potential shift in the SEC's stance under new leadership.

Why It Matters: While the next SEC chair could reshape crypto regulation, fostering innovation while ensuring safeguards, Gensler's anticipated exit marks the end of a contentious era for the SEC.
Under his leadership, the agency pursued numerous enforcement actions against crypto firms, creating widespread uncertainty in the industry. 
His approach, viewed by many as overly aggressive, has been a focal point of criticism from crypto advocates.
The possibility of a more crypto-friendly SEC has fueled optimism within the industry. 
Adding a lighter note to the transition, Tron founder Justin Sun jokingly offered Gensler a job in the blockchain sector, highlighting polarized views on his legacy.
The expected appointment of a new SEC chair aligns with Trump's campaign promise to overhaul US cryptocurrency regulations. 
During his campaign, Trump pledged to fire Gensler and introduce reforms that promote innovation-friendly <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/24/11/41883348/donald-trump-cant-fire-gary-gensler-but-pro-crypto-policies-means-industry-is-on-the-verge-of-a-golden-era">rules for digital assets.</a>

In a recent <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq2ZblXw6fY">interview</a> with FOX Business, Kevin O&#8217;Leary, a well-known business owner and investor, discussed the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40541844/kevin-oleary-reveals-he-lost-750k-on-a-friends-business-heres-how-to-avoid-letting-emotions-derail-y">mistakes made</a> by big companies in America. He pointed out Target (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TGT#NYSE">TGT</a>) and Anheuser-Busch (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BUD#NYSE">BUD</a>) as examples of what he called &#8220;idiot management&#8221; and a complete &#8220;inability to read the room.&#8221; O&#8217;Leary said these brands didn&#8217;t listen to their customers – and paid the price for it.

O&#8217;Leary discussed how Bud Light faced a huge backlash after a marketing campaign that didn&#8217;t connect with their main customers. Now, it&#8217;s an example in business schools of what not to do.
For O&#8217;Leary, the mistake was simple: Anheuser-Busch misjudged their customers and completely <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/02/36990137/trump-says-anheuser-busch-deserves-second-chance-after-conservative-backlash-rocks-bud-light">missed the mark</a> on what resonates with them. The consequence? Plummeting sales and a backlash that no beer company has ever faced before. O&#8217;Leary describes it as a &#8220;combination of idiot management and the inability to read the room.&#8221;
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/earnings-beats/24/11/42117500/target-posts-q3-earnings-miss-analysts-slash-forecasts-on-market-share-loss-margin-concerns">Target</a> also didn&#8217;t escape O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s criticism. He talked about how Target made a similar mistake when it started promoting gender identity products, which upset a lot of its regular customers. &#8220;What mother wants to take their kids there and get into gender identity and underwear?&#8221; O&#8217;Leary asked, pointing out how these decisions turned off some parents. The result? A big drop in sales and, according to O&#8217;Leary, Target still hasn&#8217;t fully recovered. He said that the company never really apologized, but it didn&#8217;t matter – the market &#8220;crushed them&#8221; for it.

O&#8217;Leary&#8217;s advice for company leaders is clear: bad decisions should have consequences. He said that if he were on the board, he would want to find out who made these choices and make sure they faced the consequences: &#8220;That&#8217;s how we used to do it 20, 30 years ago,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary said, adding that companies need to go back to basics – listening to their customers and understanding what they want.
He also said that Walmart seems to have learned from these mistakes by avoiding controversies. To O&#8217;Leary, Walmart&#8217;s approach of focusing on what their customers need without making controversial statements is a smart way to avoid problems and keep the business successful.
&#8220;The customer is always right,&#8221; O&#8217;Leary reminded viewers that company leaders need to focus more on their core customers. If brands ignore this, they will face the consequences, just like Target and Anheuser-Busch did.
