Episode 53: GKUA Brand & Ann Arbor Road-Trip

New Episode of MiCannaCast and we talk about Lil Wayne's Gkua Ultra Premium cannabis brand has entered the Michigan Market. We discuss our recent road trip to Ann Arbor and we talk about the two spots we hit.  The Two Dispos were Bloom City Club & Arborside.

Gkua is Lil Wayne's cannabis brand and it is in the Michigan market. It came to Michigan over the beginning of OCT 2020. You saw many shops posting images on social media talking about the product they just got in the shop. We saw that the Reef Detroit was carrying the product's flower and concentrates. The Flower was $75 for an eighth and they had a gram of concentrates for $80. Tune in and see what Cannadave & Groovee have to say about this. That's a pretty expensive price for a cannabis brand and this is before tax.

Bloom City Club is the first shop we stopped at and shopped around. It was Cannadave's second time there and Groovee's first.  Groovee picked up Treetown Concentrates and a Motorbreath preroll. The preroll wasn't the best but he did enjoy the concentrate but not the terps as much.  Cannadave picked up a couple pre rolls from the shop. See what we thought of the deals at Bloom City Club.

Arborside was the second shop on our Ann Arbor Trip. This shop is the only medical only shop in the city.  They had a great deal for being a first time patient. It was 50% off your first purchase up to $200. We couldn't believe that because most haven't done much for first time patients. We both bought a couple concentrates and flowers. Cannadave got Oreoz which are bred here in Michigan. That was a great strain to finally be able to try. We both got a gram of Rosin and that was from nug abductions which was great to have because it's solventless.  Solventless means it was made clean without any impurities either with water or a heat press.

Episode 52: More Act Update & Collins Ave Review

New episode of MiCannaCast has CannaDave & Groovee discussing a couple topics update on The MORE Act (Marijuana Opportunity Reinvestment and Expungement Act)which was postponed on the vote last week. This was postponed to work on a COVID-19 bill and wanted to push it back until after the Presidential Election. See the reactions of MiCannaCast, how frustrated was Cannadave? Groovee had to calm him down in this episode. The vote was supposed to be a big moment in the cannabis history and had a possible chance to get votes to move on. The year 2020 has had many surprises but to the cannabis industry this isn't much of a surprise.

We also talk about Medical users in Ohio Crossing the border into Michigan to get cheaper medical marijuana than they are paying in Ohio. Is this happening all over? Cannadave and Groovee believe this is happening not just here but in other states as well that are legal and medical use. This needs to be okay but it's not because of the schedule 1 drug of cannabis and you are crossing state lines.

Collins Ave Strain Review we discuss as well in the episode. Collins Ave is a collaboration with Cookies and Berner's brand. Rick Ross is a part of this Collins Ave, Lemon Pepper is the other strain. Collins Ave is an exclusive strain that has some great crosses in them. We breakdown the Smell, Taste, Look, Ash, Effects, and much more on the episode. Did we enjoy Collins Ave? Tune in and find out.

Lastly, The final topic we touch on is the Michigan's Caregiver Market. The Caregiver market in Michigan supplied all the shops for years with their overages for medical users to get. They also did the same for the beginning of the Adult-use market as well. But starting OCT 1st, the caregivers overages can not be sold in license shops. This is because the state of Michigan now has more licenses out to growers, processors, and dispensaries. The Caregivers did a lot for the Michigan INdustry and one of the reasons why the industry continues to be great in Michigan. This is just the beginning to the continual growth in Cannabis.

Episode 51: Cookies Detroit Review

MiCannaCast's new episode today is on Cookies Detroit and some of their exotic genetics they had in stock. Cannadave and Groovee picked up different strains of cookie genetics to smoke like Gary Payton, White Runtz, Georgia Pie, and Georgia Pie Diamonds.  Cookies is familiar with the Berner Brand.  This was our first time at the shop so because of this we picked up a huge variety of strains to try and do reviews on. Unfortunately due to COVID-19 we weren't able to go inside of the cookies Detroit store.  Berner's Cookies are some of the most sought after genetics because of how good the strains are with taste and terps.

The First Review we talk about is Cookies Genetics the Gary Payton. The Gary Payton is one of the most recognizable strains you want to try from the cookie fam. Overall it was a great strain. Here is a quick clip of us opening the bag of Gary Payton. We broke down the flower of Gary Payton and that was some good smelling cannabis. We both agreed we would buy the strain again even though Cookies Detroit or Cookies brand's in general are typically pricy for an eight. All Cookie strains were $65 an eight before tax.

Secondly we tried a couple prerolls white runtz and Georgia Pie. Runtz is another collaboration with Berner's Brands and the Cookie Family. Runtz has been increasing in popularity the last year or so in the cannabis industry. The Pre Rolls were shocking because they actually tasted like flower cannabis. They didn't shake or tasted bad after two puffs.  Both Prerolls exceeded our expectations but as we say in the episode they are $20 per or 2 for $30.

Tune in and see what we say about the cookies experience we went through. Did we like all the product? would we recommend you to go and when would we recommened you to go to Cookies Detroit? All this and more answered in the new episode of MiCannaCast.

Episode 50: Special Episode 50th

MiCannaCast has hit our 50th episode and we are celebrating it by talking about it all.  We discuss our favorite episodes, guests, strains, concentrates and evening dispensaries.  Listen to Cannadave and Groovee talk about everything from their first episode to number 49.

This was huge for MiCannaCast as you can imagine because we started out by doing one month or every other month. This year we have been really consistent with content with a new episode out every wednesday afternoon at 4:20 Eastern Time.  We discuss why it's such a huge moment for the co-host that we hit 50 episodes when we did.

MiCannaCast Guests

We go through all 50 episodes and talk about each one. We've had the Pot Brothers at Law on famous for "The Script" an "Shut the fuck up." We were able to get Marc from Pot Brothers at Law to Recite the Slam Poem!  We had StickRadio on two different podcasts 420 episodes and our Cannabis Culture Music and Movies episode! Stick is big in the Detroit market and having him on helped us learn tips from his radio days.  We also had a good buddy of ours on Drew from Waxxin and talking about online cannabis tips. The Second episode was on getting licenses in the Michigan Market.

Other Guests we Had on that we enjoyed learning from were John Generic Fertilizers. He taught us ways on growing and possibly ditching bottle nutrients and using his generic line.  Great information on lighting grows mediums as well. We had Josh K. from Cali on he is a Cannabis Brand Builder huge in marketing and how to grow your brand in the booming industry.
North Coast Services was on an episode and taught us that there are businesses working in the cannabis industry who can help you out just like ad agencies due for corp companies. They're like a Cannabis Cultivation Service who can help trim, defoliate, consult and much more. Ashley came on and discussed what it's like working in the industry and delivery service. We had a fan interview us which was an awesome experience Chris B. interview.

MiCannaCast Podcast Collabs

We had other cannabis podcasts on from MaryJaneExperience all the way out in Colorado, to DakitchenCouch in Nova,Scotia Canada, and also a 420 special episode that we were featured on American Slacker Podcast with GrowCast and Tokes w Stacy!

We've been featured on a couple podcasts as well as from American Slacker Podcast, when Cannadave reveals his face on our first video recording podcast. Win for Weed out in Chicago had us on for an episode as well and we also were on another cannabis podcast from Chicago called Chillinois podcast. All these moments have helped us grow and learn from other podcasters without them we wouldn't be where we are at today.

MiCannaCast Episodes

Episodes with just Cannadave & Groovee talking are Indica vs Sativa. What's the difference? This is always a highly debatable topic in the cannabis industry. What team are you on? You're always asked this question when you go into the dispos. We talk about our Cannabis Health tips ways to be healthy if you are consuming cannabis and what to look for in good cannabis.

Episode 49: The Future Of Adult-Use Vs. Medical Sales

New Episode of MiCannaCast is on the future of Adult-use Sales vs Medical Sales in the State in Mi.  We also talk about elephants getting doses of CBD because it helps with the stress.  The second topic we talk about is the recent bust at the Canada and Michigan Border.  They were pulled over with 1,000 pounds of Marijuana. The last topic we touch on is the historic house vote this month on marijuana.

Elephants & Drug Bust

In Warsaw Poland, they are giving CBD oil to 3 elephants at their zoo.  The elephants are getting CBDs because of the stresses they have been getting from people visiting. By giving them CBD oil they are taking the elephants off of pharmaceuticals and getting them into cannabis.  The other topic is the big drug bust at the border of Canada and Michigan.  The driver was coming over from Canada and was bringing the shipment to Chicago they said.  The driver was pulled over with 1000 pounds of Marijuana.  That is a pretty big shipment of cannabis rolling through the border especially now that Canada is legal, Michigan is legal, and now Illinois is legal as well too.

Adult-Use Update vs Medical Sales.

The Adult-use market just opened up recently in Michigan for the Sale of Cannabis to anyone 21 and up.  The Adult-use industry is growing rapidly and the projections for a billion dollar industry look more real and closer than they did ever before.  The program is already 7 months in and it already passed the medical sales. Is this trend going to continue? Many believe so and so does our CoHost CannaDave & Groovee.

The Cannabis industry is growing rapidly and you can see that as a consumer in the state because of all the brands coming out and new products hitting the shelf.  The medical program is seeing a drop in renewals this year already. Will this trend continue? Its a pretty big possibility that will because of the easiness of going to adult use sales. the only thing that stinks is the higher sales tax on the adult vs medical side.  Groovee makes a statement "its easier to get pot now compared to alcohol" this is because of how the industry is growing and these shops are popping up in more cities as well now too. 

Historic House Vote

We've been here before that congress has the opportunity to change things in the cannabis space. Obviously all other proposals haven't passed because we are still illegal in many states and the states are choosing what to do. This would open up the U.S to have cannabis decriminalized or legalized because of the vote.  This would change the landscape of Cannabis if this passes the house, but it does need to pass the Senate as well and that's republican controlled so it might be hard to pass.

The good thing is 66% of U.S. Adults want legalization of cannabis and a higher percentage wants it to at least be medical! The perception of cannabis is changing because more and more are opened to the idea of it being legal instead of a felony or controlled substance as well.   Lets see what happens in the coming weeks and see if it passes. Legalization of Cannabis will be huge for the growing industry.

The times are changing and lets see where it goes in the coming weeks or months. Hopefully this does pass the house and it goes to the Senate. This has happened many times and it doesn't even get passed the House so let's see what happens. Let's Hope we are talking about this passing the house on our next episodes!

Episode 47: Cannabis Influence in Music & Movies with StickRadio

In the new episode, Cannadave & Groovee discuss Cannabis Influence in our culture with StickRadio. We previously had StickRadio on for our 420 special a year ago! Couldn't be happier he joined us for this episode especially with his background in radio!  We go through our favorite cannabis songs and movies that we enjoy the best.

The music we went through many different songs. Cannadave thought all Reggae music was cannabis songs because he started off naming Reggae first before any other songs. Secondly, we all agree that cannabis and music played a huge role in the culture of music from rap, hip-hop, dance, and country.  Stick had some throwbacks that Cannadave & Groovee didn't even think about because Stick started smoking years before us as well. We know we missed tracks but with so many great ones that is bound to happen.

Secondly, we talked about Cannabis Influence in Movies.  Cannabis has played a factor in many movies that Hollywood has done. We go through some of our favorite movies that bring back nostalgia. What is the best one of the Harold & Kumar Series which Cannadave and Stick believed to be #1 but Groovee had other ideas.  One of Cannadave's favorite would be pineapple express because he still is quoting the movie to today. Another one that is a classic is Grandmas Boy.

Cannabis has played a huge factor in today's world either in the music industry or the movie business it has been around forever. It's only going to continue to grow with more and more states legalizing it and it becoming more normalized. Tune in and hear what other movies and songs we talk about that Cannabis has Influenced.

Episode 46: Recall From Licking Joints & 325 Darren McCarty Review!

In the new episode of Micannacast, there are a couple of different topics and reviews that Cannadave & Groovee Cover. The two different products we talk about are Resin Production and the concentrate from them. We also discuss Darren McCarty and his Prerolls by PinCanna which just recently got released. Lastly, we talk about through the episode is tainted cannabis and the recalls happening all over. The one cannabis recall that happened here in Michigan was for licking joints.The other topics discussed are tainted cannabis in Las Vegas which resulted in many grams being confiscated or reported on in the state. We also discuss the fine on a Massasuchetts Dispensary for selling tainted carts.

Tainted Cannabis is happening all over and it's not just happening in our state of Michigan. As a result, you can see we are seeing tainted cannabis or moldy products in states that are legal or medicinal with active shops. We think this is happening now because of all the testing going on, with more and more places opening up this trend will probably continue for a little before its completely fixed.

Darren McCarty PreRoll & Resin Productions
The two reviews we discussed on the podcast this time were the Darren McCarthy Prerolls and the concentrate by Resin Productions. The preroll was high CBD which was great to try because we have been used to always smoking High THC prerolls. Cannaglue tested at 5% THC and almost 9% CBD. Tune in and hear what we thought of the preroll.  The Resin Production wax was pretty good as well. Groovee Enjoyed the terps and the deal he received at the Reef Detroit.

Episode 45: DaKitchenCouch

In this new episode, Cannadave & Groovee talk with one of the Cohosts from DaKitchenCouch Riley.  DakitchenCouch is a podcast coming from Canada and its 3 people running the production and content together. They're based around cooking with cannabis and different food items to bake with. If you haven't cooked with cannabis or want to learn more tune into this episode.

Riley breaks down his favorite method to cook with and explains why he likes this method the most. As a result of this, he explains to Cannadave & Groove that you can cook with cannabis in many different ways and use different items to infuse cannabis with.

We also discuss the difference in laws between the countries of Canada and The United States. All of Canada is Adult -Use and they're at 19 and up while here in the U.S. its 21 and up in only certain states. The whole country of Canada became legal a couple of years ago so all providence has some sort of cannabis sales. It's unlike the U.S. because we here are deciding by states on their one to either legalize cannabis or keep it federally illegal. It was great to have dakitchencouch explain the difference and what it's like for Canadians to get their cannabis.

DakitchenCouch just finished filming its first season of podcasts as well. The new release will be coming to their IG and Youtube channel. Follow DakitchenCouch for more information on cooking with Cannabis or infusing food with cannabis.

Episode 44: Concentrate Consistencies & Weedmaps Top 20

In this new episode, Cannadave & Groovee talk about recent updates in the Michigan Market, the top 20 medical dispensaries in Detroit, and also what are the different types of concentrate consistencies?  We break all this down in our talk, find out what concentrate Cannadave & Groovee like!

The first topic is the Michigan Adult Use market is continuing to grow at a rapid pace. We have over 200 Million in sales and tax revenue for the state of Michigan in its first 7 months of legalization.  Where do we see it ending up this year? Cannadave thinks half-billion! What do you think? Groovee has a different opinion. Tune in and find out.  With the new cities going to adult-use sales like Wayne in Michigan it's only going to increase the cities revenue from legal cannabis. 

The Top 20 dispensaries in Detroit by Weedmaps was released by the Metro Times. The Michigan Supply & Provisions was ranked number one by Weedmaps. We personally haven't been to any in the top 5 and we will be checking them out in the near future. We thought the Reef Detroit should've been ranked higher than what it was and we noticed a couple of shops we go to weren't on the list. One of them was 5 and dime and also Cookies Detroit. Overall it was a good article just needed clarification on how they ranked the list and why they are ranked in certain spots.

The final topic Cannadave and Groovee discusses concentrates.  What are concentrates? What is the different consistency of concentrates? Why are there so many different concentrates and what makes them different?  We go into all these topics and show some samples of them in our video which is on Youtube.  The different consistencies of that we talked about are Rosin, Shatter, Live Resin, Cured Resin, Diamonds, Sauce, THCA, Diamonds & Sauce together, & Crumble.

All of these are made differently and go through some similar techniques but not all.  Most of these concentrates are made with solvents compared to Rosin which is made with just a press and its solventless. Solventless means there are no impurities or chemicals that made the concentrate. They are usually done with water or a press to get your bubble hash and Rosin which are solventless concentrates. 

Find out what Cannadave and Groove like best!
