With the holidays in full swing, we needed to find a guest who understood the reason for the season... which clearly means cannabis but that is such a hard word to rhyme with. Thankfully we know people (who know people) and we got to spend an hour talking with Lauren Miele, the Founder & Chief Executive Officer of KushKards.

KushKards is the first line of cannabis greeting cards where “one can strike a match and light what is attached.” A women-owned small business, KushKards was awarded Best New Product in the Lifestyle Category at The National Stationery Show (2022) and to date is sold in over 4,000 retail locations.

Cannabis & Christmas, Hemp & Hanukkah, Weed & Winter - the plant helps make the most wonderful time of the year a bit more wonderful and warm.

People who have served in our military or work as first responders know the horrors of life more than most. Living with the thoughts of those events can lead to depression, anxiety, nightmares, and far, far worse.

Throughout the last twenty years, the use of cannabis has become increasingly popular to relieve these symptoms, so it's not surprising that one of the most common ailments across the country for medicinal cannabis is Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

To celebrate Veteran's Day 2022, we are joined by Robert Kowalski, the founder of Veterans Ending The Stigma (V.E.T.S.). Robert served in the U.S. Air Force as a Security Forces member from 2006-2011, which included two combat deployments to Iraq. Upon discharge, Robert became homeless and was eventually diagnosed with PTSD and severe pain.

Since becoming a medical cannabis patient, Robert has committed his efforts to help veterans access cannabis at the state, federal, and international levels of government. His journey led to the founding of his nonprofit organization, Veterans Ending The Stigma.

To be good at something, you have to actually start doing it... to be great at something you need to keep doing that thing for a very long time.

Our guest today has been broadcasting for a very long time. Several years ago Jimmy Young realized that cannabis media needed someone who was good and great and talking about the plant and thus Pro Cannabis Media was created.

B.C. and Dustin are joined by Jimmy to talk about the origin story of Pro Cannabis Media, highlight the history of cannabis, and discuss the upcoming midterm elections.

Joe Biden is trying to become the POTUS with the MOSTUS by making decisions that will make HOSTESS happy. We know, we know… the “weed makes you hungry” is a lazy trope, but damnit sometimes it’s hashtag facts.

On today’s show, BC and Dustin talk about the president's recent pardoning of thousands of marijuana possession charges. In addition, it seems as if Biden is finally leaning into stoner culture (and their votes) by examining Schedule 1 status along with hempcrete becoming approved by the U.S. building code in 49 states (who hurt you Wisconsin?)

The fellas also talk about a recent deal signing that brings legal cannabis to Rise Dispensaries (owned by Green Thumb Industries) bring installed in Circle K gas stations in Florida. Along with realizing how much Floridians love their legal weed.

What a country.
