The frequent messaging finally gets through to the federal government on cannabis regulations.  We’ll look at some of those changes and encourage you to add your comment by July 8. We identify the source of the skunk smell in cannabis, discover that Manitobans are still waiting to grow their weed,  find some senior’s challenged by edibles, Salt Spring island only big enough for one cannabis store and we review an industry gathering in Kelowna last week.  I stop on Cultivar for more delights from the Kootenays, Sweetgrass ’91 Octane.

Another look at an old stereotype that has fallen from grace – the lazy stoner, some concerns in Colorado about higher THC values, I review a glossary of cannabis terms for new and old, a question about where exactly the provinces share of cannabis revenue is going and sales in BC last quarter cooled a little bit.  On Cultivar Corner it’s back to Vancouver Island and Victoria Cannabis and their Indica dominant G-Wagon.

I talk with Dwayne Stewart from Kinloch Wellness about a new study that shows certain formulations for gummies delivered much more effective relaxation, cannabis could be helpful in treating opioid addiction, the DEA is set to reclassify marijuana, and the demographics of cannabis consumers is changing.  On Cultivar Corner a real treat from Smoker Farms, Master Kush Ultra Honey Oil cap cartridge – get ready for a ride.

Growing cannabis at home is coming soon to Manitoba,  I look at the feelings behind the runner's high, a new study looks promising for treating depression with cannabis, when you shouldn’t drive across the border with a load of cannabis, and is it a fair playing field in BC retail with store inspections.  We stop for a Double Bang on Cultivar Corner, Pistol and Paris has a new 14gram combo pack and I taste Mango Sour and Gastro pop!

I share an opinion piece from my buddy David Wiley on 420, there is no cannabis relief in the latest budget, we're reminded about the importance of mental health, especially when it comes to cannabis,  we had more places to consume this 420 than last, and a listener review of a herbal vaporizer. On Cultivar Corner I discover that vapes can work for me, with Terra Labs Lemon Head 510 cart.

At the core of everything that involves cannabis and humans is an internal system designed to keep your body in a state of homeostasis – the endocannabinoid system, or the ECS.  We are going to revisit the ECS today.  Plus, someone got caught “paying for shelf space” in Canada, a Canadian cannabis company ventures south, changes you could see at cannabis events this year, and on Cultivar Corner we’re getting bold, Bold Cannabis Root Beer Float!
