    In this episode of the Cannabis Man Podcast, we kick off with the News Joint Wrap, covering the latest cannabis news in Illinois. April saw a record number of cannabis items sold, and we preview an exciting cannabis event happening later this summer. Our strains of the week are the uplifting Lemon Daddy from High Supply and the relaxing Tyde Podz from Dogwalkers, with a special shoutout to Sunnyside dispensary in Wrigleyville for their exceptional service.

    Next, we dive into an engaging interview with Tom Jenkins, author of "The Next Run: A UC Berkeley Student's Rise to Major 60s Pot Smuggler." Tom takes us on a cinematic journey through his life, from his coming-of-age adventures to smuggling cannabis across the Mexico-California border. He hopes his story reconnects him with old acquaintances and even catches the eye of movie producers.

    In our news roundup, we discuss the implications of Illinois' record sales not translating into revenue, the significant drop in cannabis prices, and the unionization of cannabis workers in Maryland, Colorado, and Las Vegas. We also explore the potential impact of rescheduling cannabis on interstate commerce, as highlighted by the U.S. Drug Czar. Finally, we celebrate Japan's milestone in cannabis reform, opening the public comment period for their new bill.

    In this episode, Don Kleppin explores the benefits of the new M7 dry herb vaporizer from DynaVap, packed with Apples and Bananas flower from Simply Herb. Vaporizing has helped him stretch his flower supply further, even amidst the sleepless nights and stress of new parenthood.

    In the News Joint Wrap, Don covers the latest updates on hemp-derived product regulations in Illinois, where an amendment could ban Delta-8 and other synthetic cannabinoids. He discusses the implications of this regulation and shares his thoughts on ensuring safety in the market.

    Nationally, Don highlights a proposal in the U.S. House to ban hemp products, which could lead to a new prohibition era. He suggests forming committees to review and license hemp products on a case-by-case basis.

    Exciting news from KANHA edibles entering the Japanese market and their plans for further expansion in Europe and Asia is also on the agenda. Don then explores a Delaware bill allowing medical cannabis operators to apply for a "license conversion" for adult-use sales.
