This week, Gregg crosses the border and talks with Kris Brown, of Jeffersonville, VT, who hosts "Cannasations w/Kris," a podcast that focuses on cannabis' healing powers, from the perspective of an Iraq veteran who has spent time incarcerated and come out the other side with a healthy, happy family in Vermont. For real, you'll want to listen to this one just to hear Brown's sultry tones. Dude can talk.

This week, Gregg brings back scent expert Kim Napolitano-Perry, who regaled us with tales of smelling good in Season 1. This time, she's here to chat with Gregg about social constructs, which bring Gregg no end of fascination. Good thing Kim used to be an English teacher (Mrs. N-P!), and is used to walking folks through concepts that have a lot of nuance to them, like the allegory of the cave. Take a bong rip and go for a philosophical ride with them.

For this second episode of the second season, Gregg welcomes a guest for the second time for the first time. For the second go-round, though, the tables are turned: Daughter Sabrina Shapiro asks all the questions in this episode, digging into the eternal question, "Just who is her dad?" But that's not why she's locked herself in the bathroom. Can Gregg be humanized? Sabs gives it a go. Is it possible for dad to let her ask a question without interrupting? You'll find out!

To launch Season Two, Gregg calls on a native of Martha's Vineyard and fellow Masshole, Carol Joannidi, who has built a career as a metalsmith with Little Cat Metals and whom Gregg met "pre-second marriage, pre-third engagement" and quickly became someone Gregg needed to confide in. Welcome to thr retail therapy couch! Here he was, a lifelong stoner, afraid to tell people he was starting a magazine called "Beer & Weed," and there was Carol, happy to chat about her life of smoking weed since getting a taste during the school play in 8th grade when her best buddy Eli stole a grocery bag of his dad's weed. Hear how she uses cannabis to deal with anxiety with customers, the pain from her arthritis, and overall life management.

This week, Gregg chats with Elizabeth Cloutier, of cannabis beverage-maker Wynk, on her path to the cannabis industry, moving from dispensaries and trimming to sales and marketing. How does someone with a Human Services degree find themselves at a cannabis company? How do you incorporate cannabis into a wellness-focused lifestyle? What's up with cannabis seltzers, anyway? How do THC and CBD work together on your buzz? Gregg and Elizabeth get to the bottom of it.

This week, Gregg chats with Justin (JT) Freeman, manager of the Sanford dispensary Vetted. After getting laid off during COVID, JT turned his role as a medical patient and burgeoning fitness training career into a relationship with the mother-daughter team who own Vetted. How can fitness and cannabis work together? Really well! JT used cannabis to help him lose 140 pounds! Hear why that makes sense and isn't out of the ordinary. And don't sleep him as the hip-hop artist Justin Toussaint.

This week Gregg chats with Alex McMahan, co-founder and CEO of The Healing Community MEDCo, who also sits on the Office of Cannabis Policy's Medical Cannabis Workgroup. How do you go from slinging pizza to owning your own cannabis business in less than two years? Alex gives you the down low, plus his thoughts on Maine's cannabis marketplace as a whole and how it's evolving and what it's like to present to the Maine Legislature on 20 different bills.

Gregg has somehow conned his daughter into coming on the podcast to talk about when she was introduced to cannabis, whether Gregg and Sabrina knew what was going on with each other, and how stoner dad reacted when he found weed in Sab's room. He ran a tight household! Don't worry, this isn't an interrogation, but it IS a must-listen for anyone raising kids in the cannabis era. Maybe your daughter will someday buy you a New England Patriots-themed bowl for your birthday.

Like many, Michael Saunders started with cannabis as a young teenager, both with his older brother and as a way to self-medicate, trying to forget things in the short term while growing up in Sanford. His path took him through carpentry, a degree in psychology, and a burgeoning career in social services before he found himself working to help people with medical cannabis and opening Forest City Reserve, a medical dispensary in Lyman, Maine. Now forced to shutter, what does he think about the medical cannabis program and what does he think comes next?

This episode, Dr. Patrick Connolly joins Gregg to talk about his 30 years of family practice with Martin's Point in Portland, including being Gregg's actual doctor! It's Gregg's chance to ask his doctor questions you don't generally ask your doctor, especially about practicing in the era of medical cannabis and how the physician community, especially those who came up in Drug War era, reconciles itself with the idea incorporating cannabis into medical care after years of hearing about the devil's weed: "People don't die from taking medical marijuana."
