Pot Smoking Moms

Welcome back!

Jay indulges with some Cookie Dough Ice Cream this week which causes us to have some "technical difficulties" as J laughs uncontrollably for a good chunk of the show.

For News Nugs- We read the results of a recent study where medical students give their honest views surrounding medical Cannabis, and it is no wonder we have one foot still living in the Ice Age.

In Florida; the state health department released a new 70 day allowance for all other routes of administration, and we dissect what this means for all of us.

Our charismatic Governor Satan thinks dispensaries should start paying more to do business here in Florida, and we discuss why they already pay too much.

Our interview will surely Impress you as David Bienenstocks knowledge of weed is of the highest caliber. He has written for High Times, Vice, Leafly, GQ to name a few and his book How To Smoke Pot Properly is the perfect stoner companion. We are both huge fans of his podcast Great Moments in Weed History and we know you will be too after hearing this interview!

In the midst of "Back to School" this week we discuss drop off tears, making friends, and getting used to the new school schedules. Weed trucks in New York are getting busted for operating illegally as licensing has not yet become available, while a crack cocaine farmers market operated under the radar for 2 years! In D.C you no longer need a doctor to certify your need for Cannabis, after a new law in effect which allows one to "self-certify". Sign Us Up! Locally we discuss a new initiative led by Cannamoms own Moriah Barnhart, aimed at home grow, that would run parallel to last weeks news of Trulieve's 5 million dollar backed Smart and Safe Florida. Our interview is with the charming Brooke Westlake who is the founder and owner of the Women in Cannabis Expo. She tells us how she started the expo and what one would expect from attending. Thank you so much from your contributions!! We hope you enjoy the show!

Todays episode starts with a new, updated, and sponsored smoke sesh! Sunny Dee discusses being nervous about her kid starting Kindergarten and shedding some tears in the front office after almost missing an appointment. Jay tells us about her kid going through the dreaded Jr. existential crises we all fear- "death talk".  Our news nugs sheds a spotlight on Colorado's cannabis boom and now 1st ever industry decline.  Then locally we discuss a new initiative aimed at getting recreational on our ballot for 2024; fueled by the money from big time industry player Trulieve. Spoiler Alert- home grow is not included WHOMP WHOMPPP! For the interview portion of the show we talk to the local event organizer that got us our first festival gig: Brian Buono of Potluck Productions. He tells us how he started, what it takes to bring people together, and the honest and relatable way he has NOT directly talked to his kids about Cannabis.  He is so much fun to talk to, we laughed a lot and hope you do too!

This week Dee shares her back to school worries as her young children are having night time setbacks. In the news Griner is sentenced to 9 years, while another former basketball player gets caught transporting 6.2 oz of weed through a Texas airport. Las Vegas prepares for consumption lounges and we explore how they plan on operating them.  Locally we talk about Berner and his Cookies brand moving into the Florida market, and we clear up some confusion about the medical requirements to obtain a FL medical card, spoiler alert Obesity and Cannabis use disorder is NOT there.  We also interview Michael Minardi a Florida attorney that is running for House and he gives us the lowdown on workplace protections, why 2.5 ounces is the monthly limit, the plain view law, and whether having the medical card puts you at risk of losing any government benefits. Please sub, rate AND review :)

Back this week and we discuss not only the unfolding of the situation with Britney Griner, but also another American stuck in Russia over a little weed in his luggage. We talk about how we should also apply the desire to release these  prisoners abroad right here within the US.  Locally we discuss plans to move the homeless into Virginia Key which was historically a black beach, and we talk about the pedo pendejo Matt Gaetz who is currently getting his ass handed back to him by the women he insulted.  Our interview is with the inspiring Jeffrey DeMond of the Grateful Veteran who has turned his life around from Opioid addiction  thanks to Cannabis. Weed changed his life so much he is helping others do the same through his advocacy.
