Aaron and Dave break down the Illinois state report, a $10M Missouri cannabis verdict, and California weed on Jamaica's customs radar. 🌿 Is cheaper weed a win for you or a warning sign for the whole industry? 👀 Dispensaries are multiplying, prices are compressing, big MSOs keep swallowing small operators, and now stores across Illinois can sell medical.

    83 Pounds Busted in Illinois: Are Cops Chasing Cannabis Tax Money? | Elevated News Ep 161

    🌿 Cannabis news podcast: 83 lbs found in a Goodfield, IL grow bust, California cops pushing for more cannabis tax revenue, and the brain science behind weed anxiety. Elevated News Ep 161. Is the war on illicit cannabis really about public safety, or about the money? 💰 Aaron and Dave break down three stories you need to hear before you plant, grow, or consume another thing. If you grow in Illinois, pay attention to the first one. 👀 🔥 IN THIS EPISODE 🔥 🚔 Goodfield, IL couple facing felony charges after police report 83 pounds of cannabis plants, jars, and grow gear. We talk about wet weight vs. dry weight, "intent to deliver," why outdoor grow clubs are risky, and why staying at your legal plant count matters. 💵 California's law enforcement association wants a bigger crackdown on illicit cannabis to boost state tax revenue. We dig into the numbers, the 841,000 pounds seized, the "less than 2% of the illicit market" claim, and why the math never seems to add up. 🧠 Northwestern scientists found the neurons that drive cannabis anxiety. A fox odor, some mice, and a synthetic cannabinoid explain why a good high can turn bad fast. Plus: fight, flight, freeze, or process? 🌱 Dave's Conditional Cannabis Corner: Let's talk about Fibro. How THC and CBD may help with fibromyalgia symptoms like pain, fog, and fatigue, and why a symptom journal beats chasing strain names and percentages. Also: Croptober harvest talk, why we are skipping Sober October this year, and your YouTube comments. 💬 🙌 SUPPORT THE SHOW 🌱 BuildASoil → https://buildasoil.com/?ref=supportdopepeople Use code SupportDopePeople for 5% off your order! 🌿 The Green Gro → https://thegreengro.com?sca_ref=4908674.J9aND9hTra Use code TwoDopeDudes for 5% off! ⚡ Dr. Dabber → https://www.drdabber.com Use "10SUPPORTDOPEPEOPLE" for 10% OFF Use "SDPGO" for 300 free ISO snaps with purchase of SwitchGo 🐦 Follow us on X https://x.com/twodopedudes 📸 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/support_dope_people 🎥 Subscribe on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@TwoDopeDudes 🔴 JOIN DAVE LIVE Thursday nights at 8 PM Central on YouTube.

    32 Pounds at O’Hare, Medical Cannabis Sales & FDA Social Media Monitoring | Ep 155

    🌱🔥 The Two Dope Dudes are back with Episode 155! This week we talk about Illinois medical cannabis sales, new medical dispensary rules, a guy allegedly carrying 32 pounds through O'Hare, whether rescheduling could open the door to medical cannabis delivery in Georgia, and the FDA wanting to monitor cannabis conversations on TikTok, Reddit and Instagram. Plus, My Bud Jon puts some Hashburger to the test, we talk outdoor growing and aging cannabis, and Dave's Conditional Cannabis Corner gets into effective dosing, cannabinoid ratios and why "indica vs sativa" may not tell you nearly as much as you think. 🌿 And as always, Aaron and Dave bring the opinions, the laughs and the news you won't get from the corporate cannabis crowd. 😂 ⏱️ CHAPTERS: 00:58 Welcome to The Elevated News Podcast 10:00 My Bud Jon: Hashburger Throwdown 15:00 Outdoor growing, remediation & aging cannabis 20:47 YouTube comments 22:32 Illinois medical cannabis sales 28:45 32 pounds of cannabis at O'Hare 30:39 Federal rescheduling & medical cannabis delivery 38:32 FDA social media monitoring 51:19 Dave's Conditional Cannabis Corner 52:11 Effective dosing & cannabinoid ratios 59:00 Wrapping things up 01:03:19 Cannabis, health & sharing your story 01:05:40 Outro 👍 LIKE THE VIDEO 💬 Tell us what you think in the comments 📢 SHARE this episode with somebody who needs to hear it 🔔 SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications so you don't miss the next episode! 👍 If you enjoyed this episode, please Like, Subscribe, Comment and Share!
