David Wylie of the oz joins me each week to discuss the latest on This Week in Cannabis News. Things happen fast in the still developing cannabis industry and we’ll bring you the top stories. David was back this week and we discussed how Joe Biden is behind the curve when it comes to cannabis legalization based on what American people are saying. There are a lot of questions about indigenous rights when it comes to cannabis and so far very few answers. There is a New York weed state of mind right now for residents of the empire state as legalization is imminent and was very predictable once the plant became legal in New Jersey. Finally, we discussed a positive pot story coming out of the Toronto Sun of all places. Get the latest news from the oz every day here.

Malka Labell of the Green Generation Co brings the latest bud-biz-buzz on The Business of Cannabis. We discuss latest the latest innovations, regulations and anything else making some bud-biz-buzz. Malka is on a road trip through B.C. right now and we caught up with her to discuss 'Ending the Stigma vs. Normalizing Cannabis' in The Lead topic. As always it comes down to providing education and conversation. Game Changers brought us Earl Oliver, now formally of Gnomestar Cannabis and his journey. In What it Means to be Green, Malka feels the grass really is greener on the other side, meaning B.C. Find out how Malka can help you here.

The Cannabis Question is about the coolest place you've blazed-vaped-ate-drank cannabis. Weed Word of the Day brought us terms for an activity and a legendary cultivar. In Cannabis Character it's the parents from That 70's Show!

David Wylie of the oz joins me each week to discuss the latest on This Week in Cannabis News. Things happen fast in the still developing cannabis industry and we’ll bring you the top stories. We took a trip around the world and came back to Canada for a few stories this week. Mexico is doing the legalization dance once again, will it go smoother this time around and you might be surprised what some polls have showed about the thirst for legalization. Curaleaf is going global and looking forward to the European legalization market when it happens. Closer to home there is a push back on how the tax system works in the cannabis space, as it's clearly broken, while the pot pardons that were projected pre legalization haven't even come close to happening, as the process is extremely long and in some cases costly.

Malka Labell of the Green Generation Co brings the latest bud-biz-buzz on The Business of Cannabis. We discuss latest the latest innovations, regulations and anything else making some bud-biz-buzz. This week it was all about packaging. Are people really avoiding the legal market because of packaging? I find that hard to believe, but there does need to be more work on packaging and labelling. It is getting better, but still a long way to go. We also put the spotlight on companies who are doing a good job in Game Changers and in What it Means to be Green, Plantlife gets a shout out for their take home bags. Find out how Malka can help you here.

The Cannabis Question is about athletics, while Weed Words of the Day is about joints and effects and the Cannabis Character is from the movie Kid Cannabis. Hour two comes out Wednesday morning.

This week I was invited to a virtual One on One session with Broken Coast Head Grower Kevin Anderson. It was a very educating event and I wish I could share more of it with you, the quality on some parts of the event, doesn't live up to our high standards. I still think you will enjoy the shortened version and get a peak inside Broken Coast.

Chris Ianson is our educator and a Regional Manager with Plantlife Cannabis. Each week on Know Your Buds, we explore a different cultivar and make recommendations for what level of cannabis user it fits with based on their level of experience. I was so excited when I found out we were doing a higher CBD, lower THC cultivar and Dancehall from Spinach didn't disappoint. It's a sativa so great for day time use and it won't get you sky high but rather it invites creativity in a lot of people. We'll give you the Who-What-When it's good for (hint: everyone) and more.

The Cannabis Question is about music and for What Pairs Well with Cannabis, I went with tough days, as the plant has literally been a life saver for me in the past.

David Wylie of the oz joins me each week to discuss the latest on This Week in Cannabis News. Things happen fast in the still developing cannabis industry and we’ll bring you the top stories. There is tremendous anticipation of the federal legalization of cannabis in the United States, and not just by Americans. Some Canadian companies have heavily invested in the scene by buying up or partnering with their neighbours to the south. Canadian cannabis fans will also benefit as apps and social media platforms will likely change their anti cannabis ways. But it's not all good as one BMO analyst points out.

Speaking of American companies owned by a Canadian one, SweetWater Brewing Company, recently purchased by Aphria will have some of their cannabis themed brews hitting store shelves and establishments in Colorado very soon, and there are a few reasons why they picked that state.

The New York Times took a long and micro look at legalization in Canada recently, examining whether or not Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government's promises have been kept. It's a very long deep dive story that has some very good points. However it seems a little early to be thinking the system would be perfect in my opinion.

Finally we ended with some in the city of Vernon showing their complete ignorance and perpetuating the stigma when it comes to cannabis. This story had my blood boiling and I tried to explain how ridiculous one woman's logic was.

The Natural History of Cannabis Episode 3 – Ken Estes and Grand Daddy Purple

A very inspiring origin story and a legendary cultivar within cannabis.

Ken’s story of how he got into cannabis is one of triumph over tragedy. A Motorcycle accident at 18 years old paralyzed him from the waist down. But the plant helped him and he has since helped countless others.
