A major shake up sent shockwaves through Oklahoma’s cannabis industry. In this episode, we’re joined by special guest Matthew Phillips as we break down what happens when the system gets stress tested, why consistent standards matter, and how operators can protect their product and their peace of mind.

Topics include: summer mold risks and why climate control matters; how to handle retests and reserve samples; what you should look for in a lab and red flags to watch out fo; and why trust is earned in hard moments, not easy ones

From python-hunting robot bunnies to hypnotizing chickens, this episode of Controlled Burn is packed with wild stories and cannabis community updates. Shane and Brandon swap pre-legalization tales, including the time a cop handed a confiscated bag right back, talk about State Question 837 and why signatures matter, and share laughs about VPN rabbit holes, overseas Netflix, and alligator behavior. There is also a Terp Float recap with a serious Narcan story, plus side quests into barbecue, tattoos, and other Controlled Burn chaos.

This week on Controlled Burn, Shane and Brandon preview the Terp Float weekend with a full walk-through of the schedule, who’s playing where, and what they’re most excited to check out. They also dig into the upcoming signature drive for SQ837 and reflect on how far things have come, in the industry and in their own health journeys.

In this episode:
Full Terp Float schedule breakdown
What to know about the SQ837 signature drive
Brand shoutouts, festival memories, and fun updates

Lighter, brighter, and still fully off the rails, Controlled Burn is back. 🔥

This week on Controlled Burn, parasites worm their way back into the conversation and one of us ruins a perfectly good UFC watch party with a truly unfortunate TV moment. We also clear up a few things about testing and pesticide fails, with a disclaimer.

In this episode of Controlled Burn, Shane and Brandon spiral from 7/10 nostalgia to edible horror stories and somehow end up breaking down exactly who (or what) the Loch Ness Monster really is. Spoiler: it’s not a monster… but it is unforgettable. Oh, and we also explain why Metrc will absolutely let you break the law (but OMMA definitely won’t).

Laugh, cringe, maybe question your SOPs — but whatever you do, don’t assume METRC has your back.

Oklahoma Cannabis might be standing at the edge of a major shift — and Jed Green is here to break it all down. In this episode, we sit down (well, kind of) with the man behind Oklahomans for Responsible Cannabis Action (ORCA) to unpack SQ 837 and what it means for growers, processors, dispensaries, and yes… even your grandma’s edibles stash.

 Topics include:
– Why SQ 837 could be Oklahoma’s last shot at adult-use legalization
– What makes this bill different (and better) than past attempts like 820
– How the community can rally to get it done
– Plus: the return of the worms, toxoplasmosis, and cats plotting your downfall

💬 You’ll laugh. You’ll learn. You’ll probably Google “can cats really eat you?”

This week, Shane and Brandon spiral from childhood pinworm trauma to pesticide test failures — and somehow tie it all back to the American dream (if your dream includes nematodes and bricked-up Reggie). From 🍃 bath bomb hacks to medical procedures in Tijuana, this episode is a full send into science, nonsense, and everything in between.

🔥 Topics include:
– Why nematodes might be sabotaging your lab results instead of helping
– The truth about pesticides (and predatory insects)
– Controlled Burn’s wildest Mexico story yet
– And yes… butthole worms.

Tune in for laughs, facts, and questionable life advice.

In this fiery episode of Controlled Burn, Shane and Brandon lay it all out: from skyrocketing liter prices to labs letting you down—and the moral lines folks are all too willing to cross.

Highlights include:
– The price of distillate liters jumping and what that means for your bottom line
– How cheap ethics are fueling a contaminated market
– The battle of CoAs, R&D testing, and why quality is non-negotiable
– A wild tangent on family drama, judgmental aunties, and of course some chaos

Come for the market intel—stay for the elbow-scrub therapy. Trust us, this episode burns 🔥

🔥 Topics include:
– The Metric conference and why it actually mattered
– Bonfire stepping up while LeafLink drops the ball
– What 837 changes, and why time is running out
– Carny villages, compliance pain, and a bag you don’t want to carry
