THE podcast for cannabis info in Canada

Michael Pedersen and Distinct Media dig deep with the Cannabis Media Collective. I knew absolutely nothing about cannabis, and since recreational sales and use is legal in Canada, I wanted to learn more. Michael does a great job in breaking it down and providing a fantastic resource for everyone from the newbie like me, to the old pro who most definitely did not partake prior to legalization because, let's be clear, that would have been illegal. However, now....Keep up the great work!
