Welcome back to our 16th episode of Elevated Culture. Matthew is again joined by Patrick as co-host while they welcome our biggest guests yet, Ryan Jalbert (guitar) & Parris Flemming (trumpet) from The Motet.

We recently partnered with the band on their first ever cannabis strain, StarMatter 303 (303 OG x Stardawg Guava). Back in February, 3/7ths of the band toured our grow at The Bank with our Breeder Jay to find their perfect strain.

We talked to the guys about the whole process as well as their favorite strains and how cannabis influences them when creating new tunes.

They also take us down a great musical-history journey about the band itself.

We're back with Episode 15 of Elevated Culture. We didn't scare him off, Marketing Director Patrick joined Matthew again for another episode. 

We welcomed Marc Pandolfi from Cheeba Chews into the studio to wrap up their March feature at our locations.

Each month we highlight cannabis brands and offer sales and pop-ups.

Marc explains the evolution of Cheeba Chews from the chocolate taffy to the caramels to their Dabba mint chocolate bars, their Green Hornet gummies and everything in between.

Starting as one of the OG's in the Colorado cannabis game, to now having 54 total SKUs between medical and recreational products, Cheeba has listened to feedback over the years to bring you a consistent and delicious edibles time and time again.

Education is critical when it comes to Cheeba Chews, they believe in educating patients, budtenders, and customers about the low and slow mentality when it comes to those who maybe haven't had a good experience with edibles or no experience or not.

If you haven't already take a peek at our blog we posted at the beginning of the month for more insight on all things Cheeba.

We're back with Episode 14 of Elevated Culture. Matthew had the pleasure of welcoming our Marketing Director Patrick Libonate as a stand-in co-host for Ryan. Patrick comes from the world of beer and offers some incredible insight into the conversation.

We welcomed Peter Barsoom from 1906 into the studio to wrap up their February feature at our locations. Each month we highlight cannabis brands and offer sales and pop-ups.

1906's target? High-functioning adults. Having been in the edibles games since 2017, they're making big waves in the cannabis industry. We've all had that horrible edible experience that lasts too long, was perhaps mislabeled or you just took too much. Over time they've dialed in the dosing, but less is still always more. You can always consume more, never less.

What separates them from the pack?Great TasteConsistent EffectsFast Acting (fastest acting edible in the country)

Peter gives us an inside look at their process, how the company started, what they stand for and what's next for 1906!

Thank you for coming back for another episode of Elevated Culture. We had a very special guest in the building for our lucky 13th episode, former NBA superstar, Al Harrington. Al can now be found in the cannabis space as the Founder of Viola. 

Fresh off a pop up at our Colorado Blvd. location and into our studio for an hour-long educational experience about 

Al explains the history of Viola as a lifestyle brand and the history behind the name, Viola. He also sheds light on how far the industry still has to go.

This was one of our favorite episodes to date, as it was wonderful to hear the heartfelt sincere story from Al himself. His impact stems far past Viola Extracts but he also started the Viola Harvest Scholarship through HB Cann U.

It wouldn't be Elevated Culture without our trusty segment, 'What're You Tokin' About?' We covered some Viola strains as well as The Lab's Terpene Experience (available at The Clinic).

"for all the work all of us are doing, the reality is that the fight is not over."

Tis the season for a Holiday edition of Elevated Culture.

Matthew and Ryan share some stories about hiding their consumption of cannabis from their parents around the holidays and even the thought consuming with parents too.

Last month we celebrated our 9th year in the cannabis industry. Thank you to all of our patient, customers, employees and everyone else who's made this possible. Our appreciation is beyond words. They guys reminisce back to 2009 when we first opened our doors.

News & Topics:

Marlboro jumps into the cannabis game with a $1.8 billion investment.

Corona also made a $4 billion dollar investment along with Coors.

Back into the Holiday Spirit:

Holiday Movie Reflections with Cook and Matthew, in the style of Mystery Science Theater.

We even have a special caller on the line to talk about about their favorite Holiday movies.

After an unplanned hiatus, we're back again for another episode of Elevated Culture.

The guys touch on some News & Topics:

Facebook Finally Lifts Its Ban On Pot Pages 

A rather misleading title. It's no secret to those in the industry how difficult it is to work with social media... But we will take the fact they've opened up search for cannabis companies -- small victories.

We located the Golf Digest article Ryan mentions from 2014.

Congratulations Canada!

Tune into 27:50-- You're not going to want to miss a STUNNING (sort of) rendition of 'Oh, Canada!'

We're back again for another episode of Elevated Culture with Ryan and Matthew.

It's been two months since our 9th Annual Clinic Charity Classic, so we thought it would be great to release our "Cart Cast" to relive the best day of the year. On August 10th, Matthew set out to talk to every sponsor at every hole, the result was some incredible content from some heavy hitters in the cannabis industry. 

Ryan explains the back story with our connection with the MS Society and now the Rocky Mountain MS Center, starting with our Breeder's father passing from from progressive MS when he was yonger. If you are a new listener please go back to Episode 2 to learn more about Jay's knowledge of cannabis and for more back story on his experiences with MS.

In 9 years we've raised over 3/4 of a million dollars benefitting MS research.

We would be nothing with our volunteers and sponsors who continue to come back and support this cause year after year.

We also round out the episode with everyone's favorite... What You Tokin' Bout?

Welcome back to another fine episode of Elevated Culture. We first cover a quick, quick recap of our 9th Annual Clinic Charity Classic, where we raised over $200k for MS Research benefitting both the Rocky Mountain MS Center and National MS Society.

The month of August has been all about the Elevating Your Sense of Smell and what a better way to do that than have our friends John and Bob from Extract Consultants.

They deal with all things terpenes. Terpenes do the same with marijuana what Amoratherpy does with essential oils. The guys go in depth to explain the importance of terpenes and how terpenes expland far outside of the cannabis spectrum.

It all comes down to education.

"Top 5" Terpenes:

Linalool- Relax

Limonene- Upbeat, uplifting

Myrcene- Hops, Earthy

Caryophyllene- Spicy, pepper

Pinene- Earthy, Piney

Terpene "Profiles" - a fun take on terpene education.

2 good things to remember:

Terpene's are the steering wheel and THC is the gas. & The nose knows.

It wouldn't be Elevated Culture without our trusty segment, 'What're You Tokin' About?' Of course we put it terpene terms.

Welcome back to another episode of Elevated Culture. We wrapped up July's Sense of Hearing with a very very special guest Ricardo Baca. If you're not familiar with Ricardo, he was the first cannabis editor starting The Cannabist and has sense been on countless radio and tv shows and now heads up his own agency Grasslands.

We cover everything from his past as an editor to his advocacy through Grasslands and everything in between.

Follow along with Ricardo on Twitter & Instagram. Learn all about Grasslands. 

It wouldn't be Elevated Culture without our trusty segment, 'What're You Tokin' About?' And you bet we asked Ricardo!

Welcome back to another episode of Elevated Culture. Now that we're in July, we're focusing on the Sense of Hearing.

It's obvious that you can't hear cannabis, unless it's loud. (bad joke) But we're taking on the sense of hearing in a metaphorical sense.

This episode we go a little off book as Ryan and Matthew talk about how they got into the cannabis industry, even diving into the reaction of their parents when they told them they were getting into the industry.

With these two on the mic they brings year of experience and expertise when it comes to all things cannabis.

The guys go on to talk about the Juicero. Never heard of it? Check out these two articles below.

https://www.theverge.com/2017/9/1/16243356/juicero-shut-down-lay-off-refundhttps://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2017-04-19/silicon-valley-s-400-juicer-may-be-feeling-the-squeeze

This may seem a bit off topic from the cannabis industry, but it actually ties in quite perfectly. There are many instances in this industry where everyone is trying to invest with not entirely knowing what they're getting into. But with passion, none of that matters.

Ryan also touches a little on what The Clinic Consulting is and how the vast experience the team is helping other states dive into the wide world of the cannabis industry.

It really comes down to being an adovocate and letting your voice be heard. (Tying it back to the sense of hearing.)

We even teased our BIG GUEST that we have planned for Episode 8!

And of course, it wouldn't be Elevated Culture without our trusty segment, 'What're You Tokin' About?' The guys talk about Tribe CBD and why batter is most definitely better.

We'd love to HEAR from you... Send us an email with some of your favorite strains!! We'll even take suggestions for future topics and guests!
