The Green Baker Podcast

Hey Greenies! This finale is our journey down memory lane. The first season was a spectacular presentation of human connection, laughter, joy and A LOT of canna realness. The whole purpose of this podcast is to educate, advocate and hopefully de-stigmatize by putting some human stories to cannabis. I must admit I learned a lot more than I expected throughout the season and built a connection with the canna community in a real and unique way.  Enjoy these fantastic snippets from our debut season. I hope that you will share, subscribe and re-listen to your favorite episodes until the next season comes out.    Big thank you to the trailblazing guests of the first season for sharing your stories and your time: @dat_handsome_comedian, @soflocannabiscoaching, Paul Salyers, @thegreengodessdiary, @compassionaterns, @cannablissjo, @thirddayllc954, @flcannabisqueen, @ganjabeachradio, @hempinternational   Lastly, thank you to the crew who made the show sound so freaking good!

Where are the spaces that black and brown folks should invest in the cannabis space? This is one of the questions Angie (@the.green.baker) and Des Farquharson (@hempinternational) discuss on this episode. We also dive into being black in the time of legal cannabis, agricultural hemp and confronting our own societal fears around cannabis. Of course it wouldn't be The Green Baker Podcast without some light hearted stories about Des' first time. I will give you a hint… it involves brownies.  Producer: Nekoda Renken @Nekoda Sound Engineer and Outro Music: Jeannina "JT" Taylor @therealjeannina Intro Music and WordPress designer: RR Coupland Audio www.rrcoupland.com
