  • The lazy stoner facade
    May 12 2024

    Another look at an old stereotype that has fallen from grace – the lazy stoner, some concerns in Colorado about higher THC values, I review a glossary of cannabis terms for new and old, a question about where exactly the provinces share of cannabis revenue is going and sales in BC last quarter cooled a little bit. On Cultivar Corner it’s back to Vancouver Island and Victoria Cannabis and their Indica dominant G-Wagon.

  • The effects of terpenes in cannabis
    May 5 2024

    I talk with Dwayne Stewart from Kinloch Wellness about a new study that shows certain formulations for gummies delivered much more effective relaxation, cannabis could be helpful in treating opioid addiction, the DEA is set to reclassify marijuana, and the demographics of cannabis consumers is changing. On Cultivar Corner a real treat from Smoker Farms, Master Kush Ultra Honey Oil cap cartridge – get ready for a ride.

  • Cannabis culture grows at home
    Apr 28 2024

    Growing cannabis at home is coming soon to Manitoba, I look at the feelings behind the runner's high, a new study looks promising for treating depression with cannabis, when you shouldn’t drive across the border with a load of cannabis, and is it a fair playing field in BC retail with store inspections. We stop for a Double Bang on Cultivar Corner, Pistol and Paris has a new 14gram combo pack and I taste Mango Sour and Gastro pop!

  • Happy belated 420
    Apr 21 2024

    I share an opinion piece from my buddy David Wiley on 420, there is no cannabis relief in the latest budget, we're reminded about the importance of mental health, especially when it comes to cannabis, we had more places to consume this 420 than last, and a listener review of a herbal vaporizer. On Cultivar Corner I discover that vapes can work for me, with Terra Labs Lemon Head 510 cart.

  • Let's review the endocannabinoid system
    Apr 14 2024

    At the core of everything that involves cannabis and humans is an internal system designed to keep your body in a state of homeostasis – the endocannabinoid system, or the ECS. We are going to revisit the ECS today. Plus, someone got caught “paying for shelf space” in Canada, a Canadian cannabis company ventures south, changes you could see at cannabis events this year, and on Cultivar Corner we’re getting bold, Bold Cannabis Root Beer Float!

  • Cannabis legalization ups and downs
    Apr 7 2024

    I look at the cannabis industry wondering when their relief is coming, there is some company restructuring happening on Salt Spring Island, a story that makes you wonder if the main stream media understands cannabis, Ontario gets a revenue boost, Germany joins Canada as a place with legalized recreational cannabis, and I stop on Cultivar Corner with a trip back to the Kootenays for Woody Nelson’s Purple God.

    A couple perspectives on the recent Cannabis Act review, Health Canada gives the final word on Jolts, the government received warnings about the state of the cannabis industry, a couple learns an expensive lesson for being careless with Halloween treats, and I stop on Cultivar Corner for Salt Spring Love haze – grown on Saltspring by The Magi!.

  • Does cannabis have an expiry date?
    Mar 24 2024

    In this episode I opine about the fact we still have very old weed being sold for top dollar – something we all have to get better at, recent help for the alcohol industry has cannabis people saying, “what about us?”, the Netherlands cannabis experiment continues and I have an update. I have a conversation with Jason Ambrosino, of Veterans Holdings, who gives us a glimpse in to the New York cannabis market and the importance of access, I stop on Cultivar Corner for Prohibition Flower’s Gastro Pop, and some suggestions for those in the industry to make their voice heard on excise tax.
