This week we delve a little further into something I bring up quite a lot: decarboxylation, or decarbing for short. What does this organic chemistry have to do with getting us high and tapping into that endocannabinoid system (ECS)? Just like, everything! A little molecular change can open all kinds of new doors. This is a natural process we speed up with heat. And if you want the best brownies for your party or therapeutic needs, you need to know the  best way to go about making them. In the Safety I talk about Bad Kitty Smiles incredible and widespread posting about how this process can be used for edibles and vape-ables. Since I've just finished capping off my own cannabis infused coconut oil concoction... Isn't alliteration grand? I also give you some tips for what I've learned along the way. Don't forget to take Weedmaps' survey! Music thanks to Kevin Macleod on FMA, "Slow Burn" Find more cannabis info at thespliffpotcast.com

Hey everybody! How's it going? Long time no talkie, but I'm back! Life kind of took me all over the place there, but I've landed in LA, and I've got some opinions on the new regulatory nature of the cannabis industry. Regulation has sure changed a lot about access and pricing, and not much of it is good, yet. While legislators try to better understand the industry, small businesses and consumers are paying the price. Literally, with taxes well over 20% in most places. But if you know where to go, you can still find some deals. This is a floater episode, to finally check-in and bring a little of that 411 you might need before you plan your trip to Cali, or just venture into the legal adult market. And introduce you to an unexpected but not wholly improbable new friend... Who just happens to be helping me find some tasty new vapes to try. Thanks for Spliffin' it, everyone!

Ep 99 - The Golden Age in the Golden State

Hey everyone! Sorry for the hiatus, but it's been a storm around here, and I ain't even anywhere near the hurricanes! I talk a bit about some personal experiences in trying to fight off the depression that can come with major changes, and how sharing cannabis has improved my life in ways that fight my depression without ever even ingesting it myself. Then I get down to a listener question! What are some tips for those who are totally new to this dab thing? Beyond some of the things I've talked about in other episodes, and barring some of the more personalized aspects of getting started (like buying a good rig for you), I give some practical tricks for dealing with what the use of cannabis concentrates on a regular basis means. In a rambly kind of, "hey, I'm two weeks late and my neighbors are noisy and distracting" kind of way... ya know, the usual. This week's Safety we dish out some Jillybean, but no dabs today. I gotta go to the store to fix my torch! Just one of the essentials we discuss this week.

Ep 98 - Taking Your First Dab (and, ya know, Depression)

This one's for the stoner girls, but fellas, listen closely! Have you ever wondered what an all lady, all-day, all-night sesh would look like? Well now you can find out, with the Ganja Goddess Getaway! It's a retreat style stoner sesh that's all about celebrating the ladies. Miss Bliss, of Bliss Edibles, tells us about what inspired her to start this much needed event, future Ganja Goddess celebrations to come, and her mission to celebrate the goddess in every lady, stoner or not. (but, not doubt, it sounds like a stoner's paradise!) She's problem-solved her way through a lot of obstacles, and staked an innovative claim in the cannabis marketplace. Not to mention filled a much needed vacancy for celebrating the stoner sisterhood. All goddess worshipers welcome. I wrap up the whole thing with a late night, indica-induced monologue. Aaaaand... NOSE DABS! Is this "super druggie" method the way of reaching the next level of spiritual oneness? Let's sesh in a super stoney Safety and find out! Got a question, comment or suggestion? I'd love to hear! Hit me up on the socials FB and IG @thespliffpotcast and on Twitter @spliffpotcast Got a lot to say?

Ep 97 - Miss Bliss and the Ganja Goddess Getaway

Breathing, we all gotta do it, right? Should be easy peasy, but why do I get so wheezy? Well, my cannabis enthusiasm might have gotten me there. But I'm a new age stoner! I'm not above taking some time to get to know my toke. And it's gonna help be a better breather ...as soon as I can stop coughing. Because cannabis as a spiritual and physical medicine is integrally locked with our breath, and we can play them off each other. If we got slow, and stay mindful. Or go big and stay mindful; you do you, boo. Inhalation is too important a method of cannabis to be afraid of it. Speaking of which, in the Safety, I blow the podcasting world up with ...you guessed it! Breathing! And some awesome Creme de Canna Super Glue sugar. Super Glue is a more indica leaning version of the Glue family. It keeps me relaxed as I ponder the future of cannabis as medicine in this western world. Will my dream of a stoney, cannabis life center ever come true? Find out at thespliffpotcast.com  Ok, not really, but you can find lots of stuff there! Music thanks to Kevin Macleod.

Ep 96 - Just Breathe

Dental health is the cornerstone of overall health, but smoking has clear implications on that health. Even smoking cannabis! Is this the Achilles' heel of our beloved weed? HELL NO! Heat and smoke can be big instigators of gum disease, but cannabis isn't the culprit! In the end, there's no proof that smoking cannabis is any more detrimental than not smoking cannabis, beyond the expected side effects of heat and dry mouth, which aren't uniquely caused by pot at all! They're very normal things every person will deal with in their lifetimes. The good news is that cannabis can also reverse the effects of gum disease and gingivitis, boosting the benefits of oil pulling and remineralization with a focus on reducing inflammation and pain. Let's talk about the future of your daily cannabis use! In the Safety Meeting this week, we shout out to ...water! Can't live without it. Also, I dish about using raw cannabis infused olive oil to fight intestinal bloating! I'm not alone... Share share share the potcast, and if you can rate and review.
