The Cannabis Potcast

I talk with Alexandre Poulin, CIO of Jublee and we get a peak into the Quebec cannabis market, we cover off Medical Cannabis 101 for those seeking some relief through cannabis. On Cultivar Corner, we’re heading 45 minutes down highway 97 to Summerland the home of JBuds and we’re tasting their Dream Catcher. We’ll end the episode with some humour about a true cannabis moment.

A bit of a different episode today as I focus on sharing some stories about my brother Bill who I had to say goodbye to this week.  Bill was a big fan of The Cannabis Potcast and he liked his cannabis.  We’ll look outside of Canada as the first regulated cannabis hits Dutch coffee shops, an Ontario town is still not ready to allow a cannabis store and on Cultivar Corner from High Quadz it’s the bountiful aromas of Sour Tangie.

A conversation with Chuck Park the GM for Future Harvest Nutrients – a Kelowna based company that’s gone worldwide with their nutrients growing some incredible cannabis all around the world. I’ve been hoping there might be something like this coming – a new cannabis restaurant has opened in Edmonton. It is still illegal to grow your 4 cannabis plants in Manitoba. On Cultivar corner we look at a new pod vaping system General Admission is bringing to Canada; we’ll have a taste of their Tiger Blood.

This episode we spend some more time with friends – I take a visit to Smoker Farms and sit down for a conversation with Jeff and Sherri Aubin to catch up on their story – a story we introduced back in episode 71.  A couple of stories from two of my favourite sources, a look at some stigma within a Stats Canada report, that from my buddy David Wylie at the Ounce.ca – and another source I hope to meet one day – that’s David Brown from Stratcann.com and a story on THC inspections.  Plus, to wrap up our reminiscing about Smoker Farms a replay of my Cultivar Corner on Master Kush Ultra
