The Canadian Potcast has a new host. In 1998 Ross Rebagliati became the first Olympic snowboarding gold medalist, but it was what happened next that made his name synonymous with cannabis: his medal was revoked for a positive drug test, then reinstated on appeal when it turned out that cannabis wasn’t actually banned. In the 25 years since then he has reinvented himself as a campaigner, entrepreneur and advocate… so we’re really excited to welcome him to the Canadian Potcast as our new host. Don Shafer isn’t going anywhere though, and in this episode he gets to know our new colleague a little better, and talks about the highs and lows of his life and career after that fateful run in Nagano ‘98.

Cannabis strains are as varied as wine grapes, so how do cultivators select and curate their stable of strains? Phenohunting is the process of creating strains and our host Ross Rebagliati is joined by two craft cultivators to talk about the art and the science behind it. Then our reporter Jay heads to a cannabis farm in Ontario to see how phenohunting fits into the growing process, and to pull back the curtain on growing such a heavily regulated plant.
