Cannabis Quest

Hunter and Courtney talk about learning through recreational weed to walking into the medical cannabis space. While our home state of Arizona looks into becoming a recreational state we touch on prop 205 and what might change in the current medical space if the vote passes. Prop 205 AKA the "Smart and Safe Act" is up for Arizona voters to decide on in 2020.

BLACK LIVES MATTER

We didn't feel right talking about the injustices legal cannabis on our black friends and neighbors as two white kids from suburbia, so we invited Jo Patton a fellow cannabis entrepreneur to help shed a light on the subject from her perspective. Jo leads the Black Out Union, a business union for black cannabis entrepreneurs. Check out Jo on Instagram as @puffpuffpatton @blackoutunion and @bogartcreative

This episode we get into some real serious topics surrounding the negative impact legal cannabis has had on the black community.

Full Show notes :

Medicating without the high:

CBD is a great start -Topicals, Patches, Dabs/isolates, Tinctures

Delta 8 > little psycoactive effects -known to connect to both CB1 and CB2 receptors in our bodies. -Studies in Jerusalem show the benefits of delta 8 in children with cancer, chemo symptoms subsided. -antiemetic, anxiolytic, appetite-stimulating, analgesic, and neuroprotective properties.

Terpenes are added to many CBD and Delta 8 products as they are a great way to get the EFFECT cannabis plant provides without introducing a high. And the amazing thing is you can basically finetune exactly the feel you are aiming for. Such as Limonene for focus or linalool for relaxation.

AZ MMJ Law Updates:
-“Tests of samples of all the medical marijuana, concentrates, gummies, and other products sold at dispensaries will be governed by new standards and rules.”

Cheaper MMJ cards! “..new law's two-year provision cuts those costs in half.”
P.S. : MMJ has been legal in Arizona since 2010.
