The Cannabis Potcast Gary Johnston

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 14 gram combo pack and I taste Mango Sour and Gastro pop!

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.

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!

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!.

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.
