The Home Gallery Offers Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) for Cannabis Cultivating and we learn more Or and Joseph Michaelo (Co-Founders) and Corey McGuire (Director of Operations) of The Home Gallery.

The demand for rental properties and accessory dwelling units has also grown as people seek an additional income stream and an alternative to purchasing a home on a new piece of property, according to Or Michaelo, chief executive of Orbit Homes. He runs the Malibu, California-based company with his older brother, Joseph Michaelo.

Orbit Homes creates high-end ADUs, and the Michaelo brothers said their products are seeing high demand thanks to factors including the aftermath of the 2018 Woolsey fire, the pandemic and the threat of an economic slowdown.

Homes available under The Home Gallery umbrella are perfect for ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) to drive passive income or for Ag land development.

We speak with Stephen Steele, author of The Cannastar Factor: A Miracle Cure for Viruses That Big Pharma Will Kill to Stop.

The Cannastar Factor was originally published under the title A Cure to Die For. This rewritten, revised, expanded and updated edition is now part of a 3-book series entitled The Trouble with Miracles.

Alex Farmer, M.D. is a former drug addict trying to put his tortured life behind him. Cyd Seeley is a brilliant botanist and rancher in dire financial straits. Inadvertently, they are thrown together when a mutual friend is murdered after developing an inexpensive, organically grown cure for viral diseases.

The miracle plant is called Cannastar and it cures all manner of viruses from Coronavirus and cancer, to HIV and herpes. Cannastar costs next to nothing to grow, returns the hopelessly ill to good health, and threatens to bankrupt the pharmaceutical industry. Big Pharma will stop at nothing to keep it off the market.

Aided by faithful Native Americans from the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana and the Navajo Nation in Arizona, Cyd and Alex fight to grow Cannastar and bring it to a desperate world. Their harrowing and perilous journey ranges from the Rocky Mountain wilderness, to the political corruption of Washington D.C., to the jungles of Mexico, to the deserts of the Southwest.

Filled with mystery and suspense, The Cannastar Factor is part adventure and part love story; a timely thriller that unfolds with endless surprises and heartwarming relationships; an epic novel about the resolute passions of two people who stand against a broken world.

We talk about high-CBD, low-THC Bogart Hemp Cigarettes with cannabis entrepreneur and founder Jeff Gonick.

Jeff Gonick is a cannabis entrepreneur and founder of Bogart, a hemp cigarette brand that offers high-CBD, low-THC smokes that make for the perfect cigarette or joint replacement you can enjoy anytime without getting high. With a background in advertising, writing and directing, Jeff has worked at agencies and tech companies supporting brands such as Apple, Liquid Death, Whole Foods, Samsung, Google and more. Having been a long-time cannabis consumer, a move from Brooklyn, NY, to the Lower Hudson Valley inspired Jeff to grow his own cannabis, developing an even deeper appreciation for the plant. After working with Seth Rogen to help him launch his cannabis company, Houseplant, where he still helps out as a writer, Jeff set his eyes on creating his own line of cannabis products he couldn’t find anywhere else - something that could be enjoyed as full smoke, but without the harmful ingredients of cigarettes or the high of a full joint. Bogarts are good enough to share, but are made to be Bogarted.
