OUTSMOKEN

Enjoying flower and hash concentrates have been the primary means of consumption for much of our history, and with that, mankind has selected for THC content simply because those effects were most obvious! Now that our favorite flower is legal , the industry is deriving all sorts of products for the plethora of applications that exist. And with these nuanced uses, we've placed a great selective pressure, awakening new genetics and altering very nature of this plant! 🔬🔬

Tune into the latest episode of Outsmoken, where we discuss artificial selection and how it has affected the genetics in the the consumer space! Charlotte's Web and High THC strains are no accident!. Listen in and let us know what you think in the comments below! :) :)

We have canna lean, edibles and such. Are there any moral quandaries around cannabis derived -hard drug alternatives.

When I saw this picture of a pressed THC tablet made to resemble a xanax, I immediately had mixed feelings. Prescription abuse is serious issue, and too often people have conflated issues in the pharmaceutical world with ones that exist in the cannabis space. Yet seeing a brand attempting to capitalize off the Xanax just makes me feel crazy!

Tune in as we discuss the interplay of prescription drug abuse and the emerging cannabis industry.

Home gardening and horticulture have been steadily growing in popularity. If we can grow tomatoes, jalapenos, and basil in our backyards, why not some sticky buds?? For fans of our favorite flower, the feasibility of growing your own is something we enjoy discussing here at the Green Grinders Club. @Donttawktome joins the podcast as we dissect whether it's worth it to the casual consumer to pop a few beans and get started on their cultivation journey! Grind some down and tune in!

"Buying Black" is a tenant of Black community empowerment aimed at supporting Black-owned business, yet economic redlining in the legal cannabis community creates an interesting knot to untangle: How can we buy Black in the cannabis space with so few legal cannabis businesses to select from? I can name the Black legal cannabis operators I know on one hand. Conversely, the unregulated market is rich with Black and brown cultivators who want a safe place to pursue their passions but have been forced underground, shipping packs out of state instead of participating in the emerging cannabis industry we have growing here in southern California.  How do we merge our support for the legal cannabis industry with the principal of "buying black"?

In this episode, @Donttawktome joins in on the discussion as we wrestle with buying black vs buying legal. You don't want to miss this one!

Rolling a joint used to be a rite of passage, a task nearly every stoner had to overcome on their quest for cannabis excellence. But with the rise of the preroll, the barrier to entry to stonerdom has been lowered. On this episode of Outsmoken, Elijah and Donttawktome discuss the merits of prerolls and what this signals for the future of the cannabis community.

As the cannabis industry evolves, the way we purchase cannabis has also changed rapidly. Now, more than ever, the game is dictated by brands. It's who is giving you the flower, what's the packaging like, what's their story, what are they trying to evoke from you. The only way to guarantee that you will be pleased is to get it from a brand that you trust. We take a closer look at brands vs strands in So Cal cannabis.

The history of cannabis culture is one of repression here in the united states. Weed, since 1914, has been used to ostracize, oppress, and incarcerate black and brown people. All the way down to how it was named. There have been generational wounds inflicted by how cannabis has been handled in this country. This is the ugly truth, and one that hardly gets acknowledged in today’s burgeoning cannabis industry.

Check out today's Outsmoken, and be sure to tune in tomorrow for the next discussion.

We're watching a strange meshing of two previously disparate worlds: the world of weed and the corporate world. Tune in as we discuss the interaction between the two!
