Cornwall, Origins Cannabis and Lance Lambert, Boveda.   Join the Cultivate hosts on-site at the Origins Cannabis dispensary in Redmond, Washington, to find out:  - How Origins makes shopping for cannabis easy for novices and cannasseurs (1:53) - What’s it like to transition from the medical business to the recreational business (5:06) - Origins policy on pesticide use by its cannabis growers (5:49) - Origins transparency with customers (7:14) - How to choose cannabis that’s right for you and backed by science (9:00) - Why building relationships with growers is important for dispensaries (11:44) - Why Origins spends a lot of time shopping so cannabis customers don’t have to (13:26) - Why customers shouldn’t buy dry cannabis (17:30) - Why it’s important the flower industry is moving from “Seed to Sale” to “Seed to Satisfaction” (19:00) - When Canada is going to federally legalize recreational cannabis (24:10)   #Ask Boveda Question (Angela from Instagram): “Can I really use tortillas to help keep my cannabis fresh?” (28:02) Answer: For years, cannabis enthusiasts have resorted to many methods to humidify dry marijuana. People add tortillas, banana peels, apples slices, bread and other organic items to keep their jarred cannabis fresh. While absorbing some moisture from foods and food remnants, your cannabis also absorbs their flavors and aromas.  Boveda enhances—doesn’t change—cannabis’s own flavor, aroma and effects. Boveda 2-way humidity control keeps cannabis at the optimal moisture level to prevent mold growth and retain your bud’s therapeutic benefits. Like tortillas, the ingredients inside Boveda are food grade. Boveda uses natural salts and pure water to add or absorb water vapor to cannabis. But unlike tortillas, Boveda achieves and maintains a precise RH level for the long haul for your cannabis. No guesswork. No dried-out flower. Save your tortillas for Taco Tuesday and store your cannabis with Boveda instead.

Doctors often curb chronic pain by upping opiate dosages. There might be a better solution for pain relief—medical cannabis. Watch how Charlie Rutherford, Business Development Director for Boveda found relief from phantom limb pain with flower. Why choose medical cannabis over opioids? Medical marijuana eased Charlie’s pain after a life-changing motorcycle accident. As a result, his left foot was amputated. Phantom limb pain and nerve pain became a constant, agonizing problem. Yet the doctors’ only solution to deal with this pain was to give the former motorcycle racer more and more opiates. Charlie turned to medicinal marijuana to treat insomnia caused by chronic pain. He discovered that medical marijuana is not your high school pot. Medicinal cannabis is dosed, condition-specific and regulated. He’s tried flower, vaping oil and edibles to treat pain. Although they vary from state to state, qualifying conditions for medical marijuana patients include cancer, Tourette’s Syndrome, arthritis, seizure disorders, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, Sickle Cell Disease, psoriasis, anxiety, severe nausea and more. Who uses medical cannabis? There is no typical medical cannabis patient. Charlie himself was a cannabis skeptic. Charlie is probably not who most people picture as a stereotypical marijuana user. He’s a business professional who volunteers weekly at his church. And despite his injury, he’s a competitive athlete, who still skis, golfs and mountain bikes. How to break the stigma of medical cannabis?Listen to patients’ personal journeys with medical cannabis. Understanding the medicinal value of cannabis will eliminate the stigma of marijuana, which keeps it from becoming more mainstream. Charlie has authentic conversations about the flower’s natural pain relief. He is instrumental in Boveda’s support of Grow for Vets, a program that provides life-saving alternatives to pills that cause addiction. Where is medicinal marijuana headed? As of 2017, a total of 29 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico have legalized the use of the marijuana plant for medical purposes. Many medicinal cannabis programs are very restrictive. Medicinal marijuana can be hard to access and expensive. And it’s not easy to find doctors who will prescribe cannabis. More patients also need to learn how to properly store flower to retain its medicinal benefits with Boveda, the 2-way humidity control for cannabis. #AskBoveda Does storing cannabis with Boveda prevent you from making kief? Kief is those tiny, sticky crystals that cover cannabis flower and contain its terpenes and cannabinoids. Often people harvest kief by drying flower until trichromes break off, which reduces the flower’s therapeutic value. You’ll get better use out of your flower by using Boveda to keep your cannabis at a steady 58% to 62% RH and extracting kief using a three-chamber herb grinder. https://growforvets.org

What is cannabis rosin? What cannabis strains make good rosin? What’s wrong with using dry cannabis to make rosin? And how do you make rosin? Get rosin questions answered by a trusted pro. Eric Vlosky of PurePressure drops by to educate about all things rosin. PurePressure makes top quality rosin presses, rosin bags and accessories in Denver, Colorado. Way to bring manufacturing back to the United States, PurePressure! What is rosin and how is rosin made? Rosin is a cannabis concentrate made without using solvents. Rosin pressing produces a purer product than using butane or carbon dioxide to extract THC and cannabinoids to make wax, shatter, budder and butane hash oil (BHO). Forgoing chemicals, rosin pressing uses intense pressure and heat to extract pure cannabis oil. People use rosin for dabbing, in cartridges and as an ingredient in premium cannabis edibles. Why press with quality well-hydrated flower? When pressing cannabis, high quality in = high quality out. Rosin pressing will not save dry buds or contaminated flower. Some producers may try to pass off rosin made from flower that’s tainted by powder mildew, molds or mites. Smoking or vaping contaminated rosin is especially dangerous for medical cannabis patients. To avoid tainted rosin, connoisseurs buy rosin from a reputable dispensary or make rosin themselves. At home, people can make rosin with an ordinary hair straightener, parchment paper, metal dabber and well-hydrated flower. Storing buds with Boveda 58% or 62% RH perfectly prepares cannabis for rosin pressing. In #askBoveda, find out why Boveda won’t mold cannabis. Boveda cannot remove mold once it’s growing on your cannabis. Have moldy cannabis? Dispose of it responsibly. And use Boveda to avoid destroying cannabis in the future.  

Why does it matter if your cannabis is dry? And what are you losing with dry buds? You’re sacrificing more than just good flavor and a smooth smoke as you’ll learn in first episode of the new Boveda podcast, Cultivate. Stick around for Drew’s chat with cannabis advocate and educator, Melissa Rolston, who was recently featured in the Forbes article, Cultivating Women Leaders in a Growing Field: A Conversation with a Cannabis Social Entrepreneur. Melissa hosts The Cannabis Report live every Monday at 4:20pm EST on The Todd Shapiro Show, SiriusXM Channel 168. She is also a columnist for The Highway Magazine, available online and from dispensaries, smoke shops, vapor lounges and other cannabis related ventures.
