MiCannaCast

In this jam-packed episode of MiCannaCast, hosts CannaDave and Groovee finally sit down after a whirlwind summer of cannabis culture, music, and events. This one’s for the real heads: part review, part industry roundtable, part storytelling session – all unfiltered.
We kick things off with a Best in Grass review of Candela’s Live Resin Moonrocks (Log Cabin x Apollo).

What starts out as an exciting product quickly turns into a sticky adventure: clogged grinders, resin everywhere, and a brutally honest breakdown of how it smokes, tastes, and whether it’s worth your time. Expect candid scores, nostalgic talk about tarantula joints, and a lot of laughs as the sticky mess takes over the studio.

From there, the conversation widens into Michigan’s cannabis industry:

• Why the market is oversaturated with weed but short on cash flow (“too much weed, not enough green”)

• CRA fines, regulations, and whether enforcement is helping or hurting

• The wave of big companies leaving Michigan – and why community, quality, and brand loyalty matter more than giant facilities and hype names.

• What it takes to survive in a market where everyone has “fire” but only a few build a real following, and

Because it’s MiCannaCast, there’s plenty of life outside the smoke too:

• Big Dub Festival & Harem Recap – the people, the music, the vibes

• Groovy’s intense and transformative sweat lodge ceremony (and why it’s not for the faint of heart)

• Summer event plans include Summer & Smoke Out in the UP, grassroots cannabis events, giveaways, and more

This episode is a ride through sticky moonrocks, candid cannabis truths, and the real culture that fuels the community.

Whether you’re here for honest reviews, industry talk, or just to feel like you’re sitting in the room with friends after a long summer – hit play, roll one up, and join us.

He opens up about his influences (Nas, Eminem, Jay-Z, Jadakiss, and more), the struggle of staying authentic, and the excitement behind his upcoming album, Dirt and Diamonds, dropping later this year. Plus — he drops an exclusive: his single "Yikes" featuring 38 Spesh lands on July 29th!

Scotty gives us an inside look at Cannabee Extracts’ ethos — quality over everything, real terps only, and a refusal to cut corners no matter the pressure. to entering new categories at Best in Grass, Scotty’s passion for the plant shines through every product.
