  2. Season 3: Episode 5 - Good Genetics with High Pressure Growers

    Season 3: Episode 5 - Good Genetics with High Pressure Growers

    SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM OUR GUESTS: Join us this Sunday, March 10th for the 314 Warm Up Pop Up at Uptown Hookah at 2549 Woodson Road in Overland, Missouri. The first twelve to show up get special merch! If you come a little later you still may catch a freebie. VIP tickets are also available for moonrock hookah, prerolls, and other goodies! We’re back on science and all that good stuff for the rest of season three! Based in Saint Louis, High Pressure Growers, known as HPG, is concerned with breaking the stigma and growing c@nn@ as high quality produce. Both their flower and brand are organic. In this episode, HPG shares a bit of knowledge on their genetics work, AKA the reason their bud is so good. We also discuss how not only as a grower, but as a consumer, you can learn about the genetics of your plant! The Recipe: What you need to know to grow: Seed strains from the same breed may have different personalities (feel free to research genotype and phenotype!) You can observe traits (another genetics term!) just by using your senses when and before you light up! Taste the flavor, smell the terpenes, and see the vibrant colors of the plant. Like your pet dog, it may be nice to know the ancestry (Who are the parents?) of your seeds! Environment is key. Think about your temperature, air flow, soil microbiome, and nutrients.

  3. Season 3: Episode 4 -Sports, Cannabis, and Masculinity with Dr. Nik Dickerson, PhD

    Season 3: Episode 4 -Sports, Cannabis, and Masculinity with Dr. Nik Dickerson, PhD

    Dr. Nik Dickerson is a scholar who talks about the connections between race, masculinity, sport, and of course, our ancestors’ favorite plant. At the beginning of our interview, Nik shared how he got into sports sociology, how plant users are recognized in pop culture, why athletes use c@nnabis, and the importance of Black men defining their own identity. Unfortunately, this part of our interview is unavailable due to recording issues. We’d love to spend more time talking with Dr. Dickerson about plant-using athletes and stoner movies in the future. For now, please enjoy this interview centered on his recent paper for the Sociology of Sport Journal. His identity as a Black American man has shaped his research, and he draws on references from Lovecraft Country, Toni Morrison, and Octavia Butler in order to discuss new ways of thinking about Black masculinity. He also discusses how he uses music in his papers and conferences to retell stories of Black athletes in an honorable way. We end with him discussing how he relates to his own work as a Black man, and close out with our rapid fire round. Guest Biography: Dr Nik Dickerson graduated with a BA in Sport Sociology from Ithaca College in 2005. He then went on to receive an MA in the Cultural Studies of Sport from the University of Maryland (2007), and a PhD in the Cultural Studies of Sport from the University of Iowa (2012). His PhD examined how race, gender, and national identity informed mediated representations of recreational drug use in sport, advertisement, and film. After graduating he served as a lecturer in American Studies at the University of Iowa for three years, and then spent seven years as a Senior Lecturer in Sport Sociology at the University of Lincoln (UK). He can be found at Fuhr_James83 on twitter. ** Note: This is our last episode of 2023, we will be taking some time to review the latest canna scholarship, travel, and most importantly rest. Happy holidays, please be safe and see y’all in 2024!

    Season 3: Episode 3 - Cannabinoids as Starbucks Drinks with Ariel

    Guest Bio: Ariel is your average twenty year old w*** prodigy- she entered studio B in a navy floral maxi skirt, a head full of dark pink curls, and two nose piercings. She works at Mr. Nice Guy- one of the dopest head shops in Missouri (no pun intended) and educates customers on decisions they make around consumption. She also is a medical patient, plant advocate, and of course, enthusiast. #StreetScholarship #Iconic Sadly enough, she also believes in Harry styles fashion sense more than I do. Tune in to hear us talk about her passions and the topics below! Description: Young people have always experimented with cannabis at a higher rate than their elders. In this episode, we call on the knowledge of a young Black woman who works at a cannabinoid dispensary. In contrast to traditional dispensaries, Cannabinoid dispensaries can be found all over the country due to the hemp bill loophole. This means that people can consume flower in all 50 states! Listen to us compare the effects of cannabinoids in the body to different Starbucks drinks. In this episode, we drop a couple hypotheses including (1) Burning fatter J’s is a waste of flower and (2) society will never ever EVER outgrow the iconic p0t brownie. Justin fact checks this discussion with the latest research.

    Season 3: Episode 1 - Eat It, Smoke It, Shove It

    DID YOU MISS US?!?! We're excited to kick off our 3rd season of Joint Highpothesis! This season will focus on the science around cannabis. We’ll have people talk about cultivation, patient health and wellness, and what we call “street science.” For our first guest of the season, we're talking with Sya Collins - a vocal performer, and cannabis advocate, who loves to help educate people about the plant through her work as a budtender and her engagement with M4MM. Today we're discussing the body's endocannabinoid system, breaking down some of the complex ways in which it creates and responds to different cannabinoids. We'll also get into how these processes can vary with different consumption methods, so if you've ever been curious about what's happening inside your body after you puff a joint or take an edible, be sure to check this one out. She can be found at @EssWhyAye on Instagram and Sya Collins on Facebook.

    Season 2 : Episode 10 - The Standard Black Man with Too T3rpd

    Grandma, PLEASE do not listen to this episode. Much less safe for work than our typical content, this episode still fits under the "Politics of the Marginalized" theme of season two and we speak of entertainment politics. We talk about the cultural wealth created off of a stock image of Donovan that has been featured on the NBA website, a Mr. Beast video, and a ton of other places without him being reasonably compensated. Additionally, Donovan speaks of his time living in Denver and the availability of craft can++bis in contrast to the corporate style dispensaries that dominate the Missouri market. This is episode is emotionally headass, where we briefly mention concepts like reparations, gender politics, and cultural appropriation through off the cuff raunchy humor. By the end you will be able to tell how much we all love improv LOL Guest Bio: Too T3rpd is the longest running (and likely the first) "potcast" in Saint Louis. We are joined by Donovan and Tyler, who tell us a bit about their podcast and how it started. Socials: Too T3rpd on all social media and podcasting platforms!

    Season 2: Episode 9 - Dawn the Cannabis Advocate

    Dawn tells listeners to make smart decisions with the plant so that we can be understood as healthy individuals who are medicating. As a patient advocate, she asks questions on behalf of folks who can’t speak directly to a doctor about their consumption because of the years of stigma in medical settings. We also talk about medicating safely because decriminalization can't prevent folks from getting felonies if they rack up enough fines. Listen for more tips for beginner patients and consumer in this episode, where we talk about administration methods and how medication worked with her pregnancy. Socials: @DawntheCannabisAdvocate Dawn the Cannabis Advocate on Facebook and Youtube Dawn's business line: (314) 465 - 8516 Also, are y'all ready for our season finale?! Episode drops next week and we're very excited to surprise you with the special guest.
