In today’s episode we hear from Khadijah Adams, Vice President of C.E. Hutton and the President and Founder of "Girl, Get That Money." As a long-time consumer, Khadijah was used to buying weed from her dealer in Sugar Land, Texas—that was until Colorado legalized adult-use cannabis and Khadijah made her way to the mountains. She was shocked to discover the different cannabis strains and their array of use-cases, and she ended up learning more about weed in one dispensary visit than in 38 years of consumption. Give Khadijah’s first time story a listen.

Listen in for a roller-coaster of an episode!

What comes to mind when you hear the word “Stoner?” In today’s episode of Weed Words, we look back on the evolution of the word — from its shame-ridden roots in the early 20th century to its, well, rebrand! Over the last decade, cannabis enthusiasts have begun to reclaim the term as they speak out about having happier, healthier, and more productive lives that include weed. But even as cannabis is quickly legalizing and the meaning of the word is changing, not everyone has hopped on the bandwagon quite yet. Tune in for more exploration.

Thank you to our guest Alyssa Yeoman.
