How to Do the Pot

If you close your eyes and reminisce about some of the best experiences you’ve had with weed, a balanced strain is probably to thank for a majority of those happy memories. These are the kind of strains that elevate your mood without making you feel too energized or too relaxed. We asked our listeners and cannabis experts to weigh in on what makes balanced weed strains so special, and of course we recommend two essential strains for you to try yourself. We hope you enjoy part 3 of our “What is Good Weed for Women?” series!

Thank you to our guest Kelly Green, Emily Marsh, Kellie Schieber, Amy and Haley!

In the first episode of our new series “What is Good Weed for Women?” we tapped into some of our favorite women founders in the cannabis industry to find out what defines “good weed.” The consensus? It depends who you ask. But the bottom line is: if it makes you feel good, it’s good weed. We also give you a sneak peek on the rest of this series, where we focus on what is good weed for how you want to feel. We’re excited for you to embark on our latest series!

Thank you to Nicole Graf, Maggie Connors and Imelda Walavalkar.

Today’s episode is a 2-for-1 special. Annie and Amanda, co-hosts of High Ladies Podcast hop on the show to tell us about their first times buying legal weed. For Annie, it was in Ontario in 2020, and for Amanda, it was in Amsterdam in 1999 — a cool 19 years prior to legalization in the US. Tune in to hear how Snoop Dogg was (sort of) involved in one of these stories!

Welcome back to part 2 of our getting to know Ellen series. If you haven’t listened to part 1, we’d recommend starting there. In this episode, Ellen talks with Skye Pillsbury about how her Endometriosis diagnosis sparked a pivotal change in her relationship to cannabis — one that actually became the catalyst for How to Do the Pot. From there, Ellen paired her love of audio with her mission to help women manage pain, improve their wellbeing, and have fun with cannabis… and the rest is history!

In today’s show, our host Ellen Scanlon trades in her interviewer hat for a spin in the hot seat with journalist and podcaster Skye Pillsbury. As Ellen walks us through some of her interests and early career moves, she opens up about the terrible accident she suffered that completely changed the trajectory of her life. While very challenging, this accident is what led her to discover the health benefits of cannabis — and it’s the reason why she does what she does each day to help more women benefit from the plant’s healing properties. Tune in for part one of this series!

One in 10 women suffer from Endometriosis, yet it takes an average of 10 years for women to receive a diagnosis. Read that again. Endometriosis, a debilitating disease that so many women suffer from — one that can cause infertility, painful periods, GI issues, and countless other symptoms — is among the hardest to diagnose. It can even take undergoing a surgery to discover the source of years-long suffering. That’s why talking about Endometriosis and the unpredictable pain that comes along with it is so important. Thankfully, cannabis has proven to be an incredible tool for women who are struggling with painful Endo symptoms, and in this emotional episode, we hear from women who found that relief.

Thank you to our guests Jessica Murnane and Kerrigan Behrens.

When Christine De La Rosa was diagnosed with lupus in 2010, her team of nearly a dozen doctors put her on 11 pills a day — five of which were opioids. Christine’s health suffered so deeply on this medley of prescription drugs that even basic tasks like eating became too difficult for her to endure. After five years of debilitating symptoms, Christine found medical cannabis, and for the first time since her diagnosis, she began to feel better. In today’s inspiring episode, Christine shares how swapping prescription drugs for cannabis saved her life, and she encourages others to advocate for themselves on their journey to holistic healing.
