The Spliff Potcast

Hey everybody! How's it going? Long time no talkie, but I'm back! Life kind of took me all over the place there, but I've landed in LA, and I've got some opinions on the new regulatory nature of the cannabis industry. Regulation has sure changed a lot about access and pricing, and not much of it is good, yet. While legislators try to better understand the industry, small businesses and consumers are paying the price. Literally, with taxes well over 20% in most places. But if you know where to go, you can still find some deals. This is a floater episode, to finally check-in and bring a little of that 411 you might need before you plan your trip to Cali, or just venture into the legal adult market. And introduce you to an unexpected but not wholly improbable new friend... Who just happens to be helping me find some tasty new vapes to try. Thanks for Spliffin' it, everyone!

Hey everyone! Sorry for the hiatus, but it's been a storm around here, and I ain't even anywhere near the hurricanes! I talk a bit about some personal experiences in trying to fight off the depression that can come with major changes, and how sharing cannabis has improved my life in ways that fight my depression without ever even ingesting it myself. Then I get down to a listener question! What are some tips for those who are totally new to this dab thing? Beyond some of the things I've talked about in other episodes, and barring some of the more personalized aspects of getting started (like buying a good rig for you), I give some practical tricks for dealing with what the use of cannabis concentrates on a regular basis means. In a rambly kind of, "hey, I'm two weeks late and my neighbors are noisy and distracting" kind of way... ya know, the usual. This week's Safety we dish out some Jillybean, but no dabs today. I gotta go to the store to fix my torch! Just one of the essentials we discuss this week.

This one's for the stoner girls, but fellas, listen closely! Have you ever wondered what an all lady, all-day, all-night sesh would look like? Well now you can find out, with the Ganja Goddess Getaway! It's a retreat style stoner sesh that's all about celebrating the ladies. Miss Bliss, of Bliss Edibles, tells us about what inspired her to start this much needed event, future Ganja Goddess celebrations to come, and her mission to celebrate the goddess in every lady, stoner or not. (but, not doubt, it sounds like a stoner's paradise!) She's problem-solved her way through a lot of obstacles, and staked an innovative claim in the cannabis marketplace. Not to mention filled a much needed vacancy for celebrating the stoner sisterhood. All goddess worshipers welcome. I wrap up the whole thing with a late night, indica-induced monologue. Aaaaand... NOSE DABS! Is this "super druggie" method the way of reaching the next level of spiritual oneness? Let's sesh in a super stoney Safety and find out! Got a question, comment or suggestion? I'd love to hear! Hit me up on the socials FB and IG @thespliffpotcast and on Twitter @spliffpotcast Got a lot to say? Send me an email at thespliffpotcast@gmail.com or leave that voicemail at (209) 867-7543.

Breathing, we all gotta do it, right? Should be easy peasy, but why do I get so wheezy? Well, my cannabis enthusiasm might have gotten me there. But I'm a new age stoner! I'm not above taking some time to get to know my toke. And it's gonna help be a better breather ...as soon as I can stop coughing. Because cannabis as a spiritual and physical medicine is integrally locked with our breath, and we can play them off each other. If we got slow, and stay mindful. Or go big and stay mindful; you do you, boo. Inhalation is too important a method of cannabis to be afraid of it. Speaking of which, in the Safety, I blow the podcasting world up with ...you guessed it! Breathing! And some awesome Creme de Canna Super Glue sugar. Super Glue is a more indica leaning version of the Glue family. It keeps me relaxed as I ponder the future of cannabis as medicine in this western world. Will my dream of a stoney, cannabis life center ever come true? Find out at thespliffpotcast.com Ok, not really, but you can find lots of stuff there! Music thanks to Kevin Macleod.

Dental health is the cornerstone of overall health, but smoking has clear implications on that health. Even smoking cannabis! Is this the Achilles' heel of our beloved weed? HELL NO! Heat and smoke can be big instigators of gum disease, but cannabis isn't the culprit! In the end, there's no proof that smoking cannabis is any more detrimental than not smoking cannabis, beyond the expected side effects of heat and dry mouth, which aren't uniquely caused by pot at all! They're very normal things every person will deal with in their lifetimes. The good news is that cannabis can also reverse the effects of gum disease and gingivitis, boosting the benefits of oil pulling and remineralization with a focus on reducing inflammation and pain. Let's talk about the future of your daily cannabis use! In the Safety Meeting this week, we shout out to ...water! Can't live without it. Also, I dish about using raw cannabis infused olive oil to fight intestinal bloating! I'm not alone... Share share share the potcast, and if you can rate and review.

This week we bring another interview: Dr. Rachna Patel, Medical Marijuana Doctor. She's been in the Bay Area helping all kinds of people discover the benefits of MMJ. Using empirical science, and unafraid to reach out to her professional peers, she's a shining example of the future of medicine -accepting of cannabis! And she's dedicated to her craft, filling an area patients are desperate for, and many other doctors aren't willing to look into, despite their Hippocratic Oath. Sit back and find out what being a marijuana expert with a medical degree means, what it's like to be a medical doctor embracing cannabis, how it's affecting the medical industry and what she's doing to push this specialty into a more respected subfield. Hear from an ACTUAL DOCTOR about the science of cannabis, its applications and the most cut and dry way to approach this new area if you're feeling a bit trepidatious about trying cannabis for yourself. Dr. Patel is all about sharing good information, something we all advocate for around here at The Spliff Potcast. After the interview I get Blunted about some of the changes and bridges that need to be made between stoners and doctors. Then I dab some distillate! That's right, a buddy hooked me up with one of the hottest dab trends, the dablicator, just to hear what I thought. So toke in, and let's Spliff It!

Hey everybody! This week we dish out a salad for ya! It's been a busy week and a rough day, so I'm just making a mish mosh of stoner goodies and bringing it to the table. We dish up Stoner Moments, anonymous tips, ridiculously long rambles that still somehow hold together... and even more! This week just takin' a moment to toke in and ramble. Join me!

When it comes to choosing our best medicine there's a lot to know. But it all starts with optimizing the options that cannabis provides. There's more to getting the best medicine than simply tokin' -A LOT MORE! Some people need options that don't flood their system and brain with THC, while others do. We're gonna focus on some examples of ways and reasons that is. Fighting an injury is a lot different than fighting mental health, and you should use every weapon in your arsenal to get back to maximum health, as quickly as possible. That means finding the right dose too, of course. When it comes to dosing, there's just no easy answer. There's no mathematical conversions and there's no safe guess ...well, actually they're all safe guesses, if you listen to your body and fight for that sweet, safe access! In the Safety Meeting I bring it back to bangers! Cannabis concentrate are a like a fine wine, they have aromatic properties that are unlocked with different glassware!

A long overdue insomniac's version of The Spliff Potcast. No, I'm not interviewing Dave Attell, I'm gonna talk about how, and a little bit about why, cannabis can help you get a better night's sleep. The trope of the dopey stoner isn't just a negative stereotype, it's a physiological effect, which you can harness! That's easier said than done for some of us. As America gets turned on to the benefits of a non-habit forming, non-toxic way to relax into a deep sleep more people than ever will see just how safe and relaxing cannabis can be. And some of us will deal with anxiety, strain tolerance, varying dosages and after-effects! Like growing, it's just not as simple as it seems it should be, sometimes. There is no real fool-proof plan or strain I can give you, but there are some helpful tips and some redirections you can take if you find your eyes stuck open at an ungodly hour of the night (or day!). From CBD to CBN and all the THC in-between, you've got options. Knowing all the available means can help you find the best mix for your needs. And don't underestimate those other influences, be it TV or some aromatherapy, the trick is to make cannabis a part of your routine.

Changing people's minds about cannabis has become a lifelong passion for many of us. This week we're going to talk to two people who have taken on that mission out of Canada; Cannabis Health Radio's Ian Jessop and Corrie Yelland! By now you should be a active fan of their podcast, CHR, which highlights the triumphs and struggles of patients and cannabis professionals alike. I get the low down about how they both found themselves on this life-changing path. We dish a bit about the various cannabis scenes in our respective locations, lucky to both be in a more cannabis-friendly area than others. But that hasn't stopped both of us from having our own struggles getting the message out... In the Safety, just a quick nightcap with a little Sour Tangie in the rig.

This week we dive into some science! Specifically a study I found that discusses the anti-inflammatory properties of multiple cannabinoids against an NSAID model. It's not exactly a directory to applying cannabis, but it does help back up some common anecdotes about using raw cannabinoids against decarbed ones, and the superiority of cannabis over traditional pharma. It's also a great way to start a conversation with your doctor if you want to dialogue about your inflammation management needs, or need to be wary of COX inhibitors in general. Then I talk about how I've been applying this knowledge to my recent therapies. In the Safety, I bust out some Sunset Sherbet and talk about what I've been up to lately with Cannabis Health Radio.

It sounds more like a bad urban legend: stoners are getting sick off their stash! But is this just the stuff of myths? Unfortunately it doesn't seem that way, though there are conflicting theories. Medicine works differently for us all, and there's a lot left to understand. Why some of us get sick when we medicate is one of those important mysteries left to unfold. While science is interested, the research is far from complete. Simply making the connection to cannabis use has been an endeavor. And it's not a very favorable opinion for many of Mary Jane's most devoted. But since it's also us that have just as likely a chance of developing a reaction, let's talk about it. Cannabis induced vomiting is the best way to describe this, bringing to mind many friends who claim that weed makes them sick. It's hard to believe until it happens to you. And if you use cannabis -it could happen to you! But luckily, cannabis still has a perfect score on the mortality scale. It might not be comfortable, but Cannabis Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) isn't fatal! Which probably excludes a lot of other options, like improperly grown cannabis, which is another issue we have to deal with. In the Safety I vent some frustrations and some inspirations (can I can some cannabis deodorant puh-lease?!) Find more info and podcasts at thespliffpotcast.com

A lot going on this week, some happy some very sad. I share some personal stories and then we start Spliffin' it. Concentrates are an explosive part of the cannabis industry. The demand and quality are both as high as the patients who love them. But they can be confusing with all those stoner terms. What is dab, and is it the same as wax? Is rosin wax? What is sugar, and who is this Errl? Can we just get some good old fashioned hash? Or maybe some new fashioned hash... If you've been wanting to know more about the big wide world of wax, get ready to concentrate! (badum cha!) Understanding your needs means knowing if you need something full spectrum or an isolate. Maybe you'll take whatever you can get and just want to understand it better? Well, hopefully we can cover the whole gamut. Raw or active, terpene-rich or super distilled, it's quite the menu.

Hey everyone! Hope your week has been awesome. It's loud during this week's Stoner Moments cuz I've got all kinds of shout outs! I've also tried some more cartridges to report on. Then, it's time to hit some basics, let's talk cannabis concentrates! One of the fastest, if not the fastest, growing sector of the cannabis market, concentrates are more complicated than ever. So we're gonna start with some fundamentals to help us understand this ever changing facet. We begin with the ways that concentrates can be made. Then we dig a little deeper into how the manufacturing process makes them differ, whole plant is all the rage, but maybe you've been finding success with isolates? Finally, the coup de grâce, flash-frozen full-spectrums! Just thinking about smelling them makes me drool. In the Safety Meeting I play with a newer-to-me concentrate: THC-a isolate!

Well guys, it's back. Depression has been the bitch in my bed lately, and it's not giving up easily. But neither am I! This is the reason why I medicate, this is why I'm a patient. I wish it were different, but til then I'm just grateful for cannabis. I've found miracle strains, but they're hard to keep in stock. I'm pulling out all the stops to get through this, and taking some of Bad Kitty Smiles' advice (finally!) to do it: MCT oil! While depression might get me down a bit, it's not gonna take me out, and I've been keeping busy in lots of other ways. Let me tell what I've been up to that's a bit more cheery! It's time to Rise & Shine! In the Safety I revisit something I thought I was done with, the cartridge pen, specifically CO2 oil. Companies are claiming more flavor than ever, but do they deliver?

Change is hard. Be it the body or the mind, change is hard. And trauma and injury can bring sudden, painful changes. Cannabis helps us cope, and get back to homeostasis as quickly as possible, with some nuances of course. Access and education make all the difference, and Papa & Barkley reps hooking up the transdermal patches have really given me the access to educate myself about how to best apply this innovation. And it couldn't have come at a better time. Yoga has me doing some intense physical healing lately that has some of my emotional healing in a state that feels a lot like being on hold. Limbo isn't fun, but cannabis can at least make it tolerable. Stay positive! The right options makes all the difference when we're talking about healthcare, and it's been a struggle finding the best way of dealing with the pain of an injury, while not disrupting my regular medical cannabis routine. So naturally I'm SO grateful for the samples I can get to help me discover answers as quickly and cheaply as possible! I also share some tips about other cannabinoids like CBN and CBG (or is it CBGA?!) I've come across in my research, both online and in the kitchen. As we Safety I go over my Goldilocks-esque experience in trying to make the most effective use of these Papa & Barkley patches. Basically, they're a physical therapy game changer!

It's been awhile, but I finally got a chance to catch up with Yami, and she's been busy! Her collective Pure Life Alternative Wellness in Chatsworth is booming, she's fired up about state and local politics and shares with us her experiences in Costa Rica and the cultural feelings about cannabis. From Measure M to Pura Vida, sit back and learn. If ya want to actually visit though, I recommend dropping in on the First Friday Community Alliance meetings; get hooked up! I know I did... let me tell ya all about it, from the cookies to the rosin. That's right! MORE rosin. In the Safety Meeting I go back to the Piece Water I received during the cannabis yoga, and let ya know if it stood up to a real stoner, including how it worked in my dab rig.

This week's basically a whole episode of stoner moments and stoner stuff to come -a stoner salad! But that doesn't mean I haven't been busy. Au contraire! There's so much in the works I haven't had time to properly prepare for this week, but I'm not gonna leave ya hangin without a sesh. There's plenty to talk about, from Dabbing Granny making my jaw drop with the latest cannabis concentrates to what's to come in the future -it looks Spliffy! And of course, puns. So hang out and spark it up, while we enjoy a little Stoner Salad. Keep sharing and rating, everyone! Thank you so much.

My favorite holiday, a Stoner Holiday! Us stoners step out of the dark and celebrate our freedom with a one fingered salute against the wind, as we go public with our celebrations! At least that's how it started, but in the land of legal, 4/20 makes dreams come true for some stoners. Sometimes it's just another Thursday with a great twinkle about itself.
