  • A pause in cannabis consumption
    Aug 18 2024

    I introduce you to Allison Benedict, the owner of Pause Consumption Lounge. She has plans for consumption lounges in our future plus a passion for cannabis. I look at a new program at the OCS where they are adding a second level of testing for cannabis, a cannabis extract recall and going for something cheap but effective with SuperToast Citrus Abduction hoagie on Cultivar Corner.
