The Farmaceuticals Co., 2015, was born in the redwood forests of Big Sur, California, surrounded by the ocean mist and the tranquil west coast sun. Their co-founders Robin and Chaos both had moms who were dealing with difficult medical issues. The prescription drugs they were given seemed to be making them feel worse, not better. Robin and Chaos realized they may be able to help with cannabis - particularly high CBD strains - but they saw that other products were made using chemicals and solvents like butane, and were not comfortable giving those to their mothers. So they set out to make the most effective and the most natural products they could - without the use of extracts, concentrates, or chemicals - just pure cannabis flower and organic olive oil. After months of testing and re-testing and re-testing again, they landed on TFC's signature 100% all-natural infusion process that coaxes out and captures all of the beneficial compounds of the cannabis flower - naturally. These were products they finally felt comfortable giving to their own moms. When they saw that their CBD therapy Drops helped decrease not only pain levels but anxiety too, they knew they needed to increase production so that they could help as many more people as possible.

Diesel Beverages With Natalie Mondine today on Dazed And Infused with Latham Woodward only on Cannabis Radio. Marc Brannigan, co-founder, and CEO says, "All THC cannabis beverages are prohibited from selling across state lines. CBD beverage sales are also hindered by their inability to distribute in every state because of numerous state regulations. Strain-specific terpene-infused beverages with no THC or CBD, such as ours, can be sold in every state because they comply with all regulations." Brannigan also points to the positive effects of terpenes on physical and mental wellbeing. "Based on recently published studies, terpenes have their own medicinal properties and directly contribute to the entourage effect. In fact, terpene profiles are the most valuable part of the cannabis plant and are responsible for the taste, smell, and effect of the plant." Diesel is raising capital to begin distribution in Colorado, Florida, and Illinois. The proceeds will be used to complete additional production runs of their first four flavors: Lemon Abacus, Cherry Abacus, Abacus Diesel, and the soon to be released Pinot G. Says Brannigan, "We are raising money through a crowdfunding campaign because we want as many people as possible to be part of our revolutionary cannabis beverages."

Editorial On The State Of The Cannabis Industry with Dazed and Confused's very own Latham Woodward today only on Cannabis Radio. Cannabis and Banking: Despite the cannabis industry's explosive growth, many financial institutions have been hesitant to transact with cannabis-related businesses given the ambiguity created by divergent state and federal cannabis laws. The SAFE Banking Act seeks to remove these ambiguities at the federal level and pave the way for more financial institutions to serve the cannabis industry. Latham offers remarks on the state of cannabis and banking. Cannabis and Sustainability: Many may not realize that cannabis has never really been a sustainable industry, and with the commercialization of cannabis, things have continued to move in the wrong direction. As the co-founder of an investment and operating firm in the cannabis space, I am concerned about the sustainability of this industry.

Bianca Snyder of High Society Mama & Society's Plant today on Dazed And Infused with Latham Woodward only on Cannabis Radio. Bianca is the founder of High Society Mama, a mother, movement lover, and advocate for natural wellness and plant medicine. Religious or spiritual use dates back more than 5500 years, where early discoveries in the Ukraine region indicate ceremonial burning of the herb in a cave. Asia is considered by experts to be the place of origin of undomesticated cannabis; hemp use dates back to the stone age. Hemp fiber imprints over 10,000 years old have been found in pottery shards in modern-day Taiwan. When Pharaoh Ramesses was uncovered in Egypt, traces of cannabis were found in the remains. Humanity's relationship with the plant is one of a symbiotic nature, each species helping the other evolve over millennia. Today, 2 out of 3 Americans are in favor of cannabis legalization. Throughout its long history, the plant has no history of causing overdose or death. Despite the acceptance of cannabis for legalization, there is still the process of normalizing the plant beyond the absurd stigma created in the last 80 years or so.

Dr. Dina, Host of Coughy Talk on Clubhouse and Cannabis Confidential with Dr. Dina on Cannabis Radio, and co-founder of Alternative Herbal Health Services in West Hollywood, California, joins Dazed And Infused only on cannabis radio. Once Snoop Dogg lays a nickname on you, it sticks for life – just ask “Dr. Dina,” his longtime friend, confidante, and business associate. Dr. Dina is not a board-certified M.D., nor did she go to medical school. Rather, Dr. Dina received her nickname from Snoop for being one of the pioneers of the movement in Southern California to provide safe access to medical cannabis in accordance with state law. A powerful advocate for mainstreaming medical marijuana and beloved by hundreds of Hollywood celebs and dignitaries for over a decade, all the while maintaining her secrecy due to the relatively conservative social circles in which she lives, Dr. Dina has now decided to come forward and step into the spotlight following the prominent mention she received (an inadvertent “outing”) in the article on Snoop in the January 2013 issue of GQ titled “The Lion Smokes Tonight.” In the article, Dr. Dina is referred to as “a thin brunette who has the whole Nancy Botwin look down cold,” a reference to the pot-selling mom played by Mary-Louise Parker on the award-winning comedy-drama “Weeds.” That's not even the half of it – the character Nancy Botwin and the very premise for the show was inspired by Dr. Dina, who launched her consultancy in 2003, two years before the show debuted and at a time when she had direct contact with creative personnel on the show and when there were very few if any, other women in the business – especially in Los Angeles. Dr. Dina explains “Ever since the pilot aired and even more so today, I'm constantly being stopped and asked if I'm “the real” Nancy Botwin. Yes, the pilot was based on me. But Weeds is certainly not my life story. Nancy was a criminal drug dealer. Everything I do is 100 percent legal in accordance with state law. I am not so much driven by money but by the desire to help people in need.”
