    244. Parenting and Cannabis: How to Talk to Your Kids About Weed

    244. Parenting and Cannabis: How to Talk to Your Kids About Weed

    If you were to guess where teen cannabis consumption was higher, would you assume states where weed is legal or illegal? The answer might surprise you! In today's episode, we tackle the tricky topic of talking to kids about weed. Navigating these conversations can feel overwhelming, but you're not alone. This episode provides a safe space to explore different perspectives and practical strategies from experts and parents across the country. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, and the same goes for talking to your kids about cannabis—we hope you’ll join us as we figure it out together!

    “I'm sort of a hard line as a parent when it comes down to that sort of thing. You didn't leave bleach out. You don't leave the little pods for your dishwasher or your laundry machine. You put them away. And that's how I feel about prescription drugs, alcohol, how I feel about cannabis. I think that cannabis is just not that much different.” — Janet Matula

    If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend Episode 240, Pot for Parenting: Navigating Motherhood With Weed.

    243. Breaking Barriers: Caitlyn Krebs on Leading Cannabis Biotech and Balancing Family Life

    Did you know that men make up 92% of CEOs of S&P 500 companies? Embracing the spirit of “if you can see it, you can be it,” we continue our Women in Business series with Caitlyn Krebs, CEO and co-founder of Nalu Bio, a pioneering startup immersed in the cutting-edge world of cannabis biotech. Caitlyn shares how tagging endangered turtles in Hawaii as a kid ignited her love for science, how she balances the demands of running a company with two young children, and why she believes in “no-high” cannabinoids. Discover how Nalu Bio’s innovative approach is transforming cannabis into a vital everyday supplement, much like vitamins.

    "I believe cannabinoids are the next big thing, much like vitamins were 70 years ago. Back then, no one knew what vitamins did or what they were for, but now everyone takes them."

    If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend Episode 241, Kiva’s Kristi Palmer on Building a Cannabis Empire.

    241. Women in Business: Kiva's Kristi Palmer on Building a Cannabis Empire

    241. Women in Business: Kiva's Kristi Palmer on Building a Cannabis Empire

    Step into the world of groundbreaking women entrepreneurs who are shaping the landscape of the fast-growing cannabis industry. To kick off our new series, we’re sitting down with Kristi Palmer, president and co-founder of one of our favorite cannabis edible brands, Kiva Confections. Kristi sheds light on the personal and professional challenges she faces in the ever-changing weed industry and offers valuable insights into how she and her husband Scott built the brand from the ground up. Discover how her commitment to quality and consumer trust has propelled Kiva into a leading name in cannabis edibles.

    "I'm a lightweight consumer, and if I consume too much, I'm mad. I can't sleep. I'm like, who do I need to write a strongly worded letter to because it's not cool, right? Being a sensitive consumer, that's where I get mad. I don't get mad very often, but if I over consume because of somebody else's doing... it's not good."

    If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend episode 183, Women, Money, Power and Cannabis. And if you haven’t already, we hope you’ll give Kiva’s weed gummies and chocolate bars a try!

    240. Pot for Parenting: Navigating Motherhood With Weed

    Welcome to a very special Mother’s Day episode! In today’s show, we delve into the stories of remarkable mothers like writer Laurel Pantin, Kiva Confections co-founder Kristi Palmer, Dr. June Chin, and Blunt Blowin’ Mama host Shonitria Anthony. From overcoming chronic pain to enhancing daily life and intimacy, our guests open up about how consuming weed makes them more attentive and loving parents. As we challenge societal norms and celebrate motherhood in all its forms, join us for a candid discussion on the supportive and transformative power of pot for moms everywhere. 

    "I think it helps me be a better mom. It helps me be more present, which at the end of the day is, I'm finding, the most important part of being a good parent. Just being there and available and open-minded for your child. Whatever gets you there is 100% worth pursuing." — Laurel Pantin

    If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend episode 190, Sex Drive, Parenting and Intimacy with Weed. Wishing you all a happy Mother’s Day!

One of the best cannabis podcasts!

This is by far one of the best cannabis podcasts! Each episode is informative and has helped me in some way on my cannabis journey. I couldn’t recommend this podcast more! Give it a listen and then you’ll want to binge listen to them all.

Lost, and Now I’m Found

I recently moved to a grass-friendly state, and HTDTP podcast has been SO helpful! It’s overwhelming to go from “D8, 9, or 10” to a plethora of different cannabis experiences to choose from. I’m excited to continue delving in and exploring to see what my go-tos will be, (Strawberry Cough = a new fave 😍). Thanks for what you do!

Just right

This podcast is awesome! The hosts are smart, articulate while being totally relatable. The show is informational, succinct and entertaining. It’s great to connect to a female cannabis community.
