    Episode 37: Tushar Atre

    When the weed business gets deadly, things go way beyond being “tangled up in the weeds.” This week on Kush & Crime, we’re diving into the story of Tushar Atre and the dangerous intersection of legal cannabis, the black market, big money, and even bigger egos. What starts with a dream of building a legitimate cannabis empire quickly becomes a complicated web of business partners, secret grows, extraction labs, shady deals, and people who probably should've thought twice before shaking hands. But before we get into the case, we're lighting up Black Sundae for our Strain of the Day 🍃🔥 — and yes, the bud comes in an actual glass coffee mug. Because apparently weed can have better packaging than some of our kitchenware. And a HUGE thank you to everyone who has been listening! ❤️ We're getting dangerously close to 100 Instagram followers, and when we hit that milestone, we're launching a Kush & Crime giveaway with some goodies, merch, stickers, and even some vintage Kush & Crime surprises. 👀 So hit that follow button, share this episode with your favorite true-crime-loving meat bag, and spark up & settle in. 🎧 New episode out now! #KushAndCrime #TrueCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #CrimePodcast #CannabisCrime #CannabisCulture #WeedAndCrime #TrueCrimeCommunity #Podcast #CrimeJunkie #StonerPodcast #420 #Cannabis #Potcast #TrueCrimeTok #PodcastLife

    Episode 36: Ariel Castro Part 2

    Grab your buds, spark one up, and settle in... because this one only gets darker. Part 2 of the Ariel Castro case is here, and it's one of the hardest stories we've ever covered. This week we continue the horrifying timeline of Michelle Knight's captivity, the kidnappings of Amanda Berry and Gina DeJesus, and the unimaginable abuse they endured for years. We also dive into the heartbreaking failures that left these women trapped while warning signs were repeatedly missed. Before the darkness sets in, Brianna shares our Strain of the Day: Uh-Huh from Ooh Wee, and somehow we end up in a full-blown debate over whether you can actually "turn off" a joint. So we have to know...👇 Can you turn a joint on and off... or do you only light and put it out? Tell us in the comments because this debate isn't ending anytime soon.

    Episode 35: Ariel Castro Part 1

    Some cases are so disturbing they stay with you long after you finish researching them...and this is one of them. This week we're diving into Part 1 of the horrifying case of Ariel Castro, the Cleveland bus driver who secretly built a house of horrors while hiding in plain sight. Before the world knew about the kidnappings that shocked the nation, there were decades of warning signs. We trace Castro's childhood, his escalating violence, the unimaginable abuse suffered by his wife Nilda, and the failures that allowed him to continue terrorizing those closest to him. Then, we follow the heartbreaking story of Michelle Knight, whose difficult life made her vulnerable to a predator who exploited her desperation. What began as a simple request for directions ended with Michelle disappearing into Castro's home—where a nightmare was only beginning. Strain of the day: Gusherlicious- A sweet, fruity strain that helped us get through one of the darkest cases we've covered yet.

    Episode 34: The Scream Murder

    On September 22, 2006, 16-year-old Cassie Jo Stoddart was house-sitting for her cousin in Pocatello, Idaho. She was supposed to spend the night with her boyfriend, watch the dog, and enjoy a quiet weekend away from home. But that night, things took a twisted turn that came straight out of a horror movie. What happened next would become one of the most disturbing murders in Idaho history. After the lights in the house mysteriously shut off and the sound of breaking glass came from downstairs, Cassie was left alone in the house. Two days later, she was found dead, stabbed 30 times. At first, investigators were left with a seemingly impossible mystery, but the truth was far more disturbing. As police began questioning the teenagers involved, their stories started to unravel. Hidden evidence was recovered from a canyon. Bloody clothing, masks, knives, notes, and a damaged videotape. This week on Kush & Crime, Sam and Briana talk about the murder of Cassie Jo Stoddart and the twists and turns that led to her killer's identity. Grab your Strawberry Push-Pop and light up, this one is crazy. #KushAndCrime #TrueCrimePodcast #CassieJoStoddart #TrueCrime #CrimePodcast #MurderMystery #TrueCrimeCommunity #IdahoTrueCrime #TrueCrimeStories #CrimeDocumentary #Podcast #potcast

    Episode 31: Joshua Guimond

    He walked out of a poker game... and was never seen again. In November 2002, 20-year-old Joshua Guimond vanished from the campus of Saint John's University in Collegeville, Minnesota. A driven student, class president, aspiring lawyer, and someone everyone described as responsible, Josh simply disappeared after getting up from a card game, not saying goodbye to anyone. His keys, car, glasses, and belongings were all left behind in his dorm. Search dogs traced his scent to a bridge before it suddenly stopped. Massive searches turned up nothing. As the investigation unfolded, new questions emerged involving deleted computer files, conflicting witness statements, troubling allegations surrounding the campus Abbey, and theories that ranged from an accidental hit-and-run to the possibility that Josh met with someone in secret that night. More than two decades later, Joshua Guimond has never been found, and the mystery remains one of Minnesota's most haunting missing person cases. In this episode, join Sam and Briana as they break down the timeline, the investigation, the evidence, and the theories that continue to leave more questions than answers. Make sure to get ready by toking on some Dancing Gorilla, the economy friendly bud.
