  • Drink Culture, Celebs We've Smoked With + Jimmy Carter Stories

    Drink Culture, Celebs We've Smoked With + Jimmy Carter Stories
    2025/01/09
    We're starting 2025 with SoCal's first consumption lounge, a talk about drink culture, a dive into whether Canada could recriminalize, stories of celebrities we've smoked with, and Willie Nelson's infamous memoir of smoking atop Jimmy Carter's White House.




    • Big things are coming to SoCal! Jackie Bryant gives us details of San Diego's soon-to-open first consumption lounge, Sessions By The Bay - which will include a full food menu, a dispensary, art installations, music and more. But NO DANCING!

    • After the U.S. Surgeon General warned about the link between alcohol and cancer this week, Brit Smith leads a discussion on cannabis drink culture and whether we can all truly transition from beers to buds.
    • Special guest MaryJane Gibson tells us about the Canadian politician vying to take over from Justin Trudeau who may want to undo legalization after five years, and what's leading the rise of Reefer Madness 2.0.
    • What do Lindsay Lohan, Margaret Cho, and Tommy Chong all have in common? They've all toked with us! Ellen Holland asks everyone to reveal the coolest celebrities we've smoked with over the years.
    • And as we say a final farewell to President Jimmy Carter, Sara Payan reads our favorite celeb stoner Willie Nelson's account of smoking a big joint (rumored to have been with Carter's son!) on the roof of the White House during Carter's time in office.

  • Florida, Man! The Mids Are OK + Veterans Day

    Florida, Man! The Mids Are OK + Veterans Day
    2024/11/07
    This week's stories:
    • During her push to legalize adult-use in Florida, Kim Rivers CEO of Trulieve (FL's biggest dispensary chain) was caught lying about 'laced' illicit weed and non-existant police tech for testing cannabis flower. Days later, as we found out mid-recording, Florida's Amendment 3 failed to pass. As Jackie Bryant reports, that's $150mm up in smoke for Trulieve!

    • We dig into a discussion about 'mids,' those less-desirable weed options, and why not all mids are created equal. From bricks to schwag to smalls, Rachelle Gordon asks if it's simply all about how we categorize and appreciate our vast world of flower.

    • Cannabis art has really hit the mainstream this week. Ellen Holland talks about cannabis photographer Chris Romaine of Washington, who has put trichomes on the map in a huge way, placing 3rd at the 50th annual Nikon Small World Competition 2024.
    • And our very own military wife Brit Smith marks Veteran's Day with a story about how her husband navigates medical marijuana and the VA, what studies say about THC for PTSD, and how bud can help veterans with dreams, social situations, and pain.

    • How CBD has helped our pets, including the moving story of how tincture saved Brit's pup, and why Rachelle's husband Kurt needs to keep Bad Apple Pets going! KEEP THE LINE, KURT!!!
