We also discuss a proposal in Bernalillo County to protect government workers who use cannabis off-duty. Finally, we explore the story of Bernie Ellis, a micro-producer who made a bold statement against "Big Weed" by giving away his entire crop. It's an eye-opening look at the challenges and triumphs of the cannabis industry in New Mexico. Don't miss it!

Dismember their podcast. Welcome back to NOCLIP! Today, we're going to be talking about our first horror title for the Halloween season with Dead Space. Specifically, we're talking about the 2023 remake of the game with only a limited understanding of the original. That said, this is a game that makes a pretty brutal impression very quickly, so we did pick it up quickly. Dead Space is an action survival horror game in the same vein as Resident Evil 4, with an over the shoulder camera. The game's hook is centered around its enemies, the necromorphs, forcing the player to cut off their limbs to dispatch them efficiently, and this is accomplished in about the most inelegant way imaginable: with power tools and a phenomenally heavy boot. The game is gory and over the top, and while it stumbles over some of the more nuanced elements of the artform, like character development and story, sometimes an extremely raucous horror title is exactly what you want. Which isn't to say this game goes full Doom. The violence is extreme, yes, but it has scary moments, sometimes maintaining something resembling quiet for seconds to even minutes at a time. It builds and releases tension in quick bursts, and uniquely handles its music cues so as to allow the player to jump scare themselves at times, making it a perfect game for that mid-October horror kick. We're going to be talking about the arsenal and how the game's take on weapons sells its premise and mechanical hook, how the remake's expanded take on Isaac Clarke impacts its narrative and storytelling, and we produce two extremely professional box quotes for them to use on any future physical releases of the remake. Thank you for joining us again this week! The remake of this game re-sparked our interest in doing it for Halloween, despite continually putting it off for other things, and honestly I'm pretty glad we waited. The visual spectacle of this game is one of its major selling points and the more modern version of it probably helped it take effect. That said, have you played the original version of the game? Do you think we should have played the original over the remake? Let us know over in our Discord or in the comments! Next time, we're going to be talking about Dredge, the Lovecraftian fishing game that released earlier this year and took the world by storm. Or at least, by drizzle. By squall? Some people liked it, for sure.

If DeSantis is going to stoop to the same juvenile jokes as frontrunner Donald Trump, what's the point of supporting the thought-to-be classy Florida governor? Taylor considers his primary vote. Then, he branches out to discuss the Burisma whistleblower and the alleged dealings with the Biden Crime Family.

President Biden had a *massive* announcement last week pardoning all prior federal offenses of simple marijuana possession, called on governors to pardon simple state marijuana possession offenses and asked Secretary Becerra and the Attorney General to initiate the process of reviewing how marijuana is scheduled under federal law.

All this week, we're replaying some of the team's favorite stories from 2021. Host Jacoby Cochran picked this story about Illinois' nascent cannabis industry. When state lawmakers legalized weed in 2019, they promised licenses and revenues would go to Black and brown communities hit hardest by the war on drugs. But cannabis remains dominated by white growers and sellers. And confusion remains, despite new legislation and additional rounds of dispensary license lotteries this summer. Chicago Sun-Times reporter Tom Schuba covers the marijuana industry. He explains the state of Illinois' cannabis social equity program. Jacoby also talks to a social equity applicant who was awarded licenses for cultivation and infusion. This segment was originally published on Sept. 9, 2021.

Editor's Note: Click here to subscribe to our newsletter.This week, Christian Hageseth, chief operating officer of VIST Labs, discusses how a game of golf permanently changed the trajectory of his career. In 2009, Hageseth was an out-of-work real estate finance professional who was a casualty of the economic crisis in 2008. He was invited to play a round of golf where he met an individual opening a dispensary in the up-and-coming Colorado cannabis industry. Hageseth started in the cannabis industry in July 2009, about six weeks before business took off in Colorado following rules that opened up the medical market. He got a little lucky with the timing, but he had his first plant in the ground by September 2009, and he has been growing and selling legal weed ever since. While he has founded many companies in the industry and even authored a book, Big Weed, Hageseth's latest venture, VIST Labs, is his effort to clean up the cannabis industry's dirty secrets. Hageseth wants to deliver clean cannabis to the consumer with a process that makes the product much more shelf-stable. The tech means a safer product for consumers while remaining a boon for cannabis cultivators sitting on a surplus -- as well as those looking to market a more pure product. VIST's patent-pending CryoPasteurization decontamination technology kills mold, yeast and bacteria while preserving terpene and cannabinoid levels. The company also created AMAPS, an aseptic modified atmosphere packaging system that protects and extends product freshness. VIST has a fleet of mobile labs that travel to facilities to provide microbial screening to identify the level of contaminants in flower or shake and treat the affected product. When Hageseth got into the cannabis industry, he says it was made up of a bunch of cowboys, yahoos and crazies (he was a cowboy that was a little bit crazy), but as the business has evolved, his entrepreneurial spirit drove him to help make it a bit safer for consumers and businesses alike.

Americans aren’t in agreement about much these days, but there does appear to be one thing that they overwhelmingly support: legalizing the medical and recreational use of cannabis. Across the country, cannabis is winning at the ballot box and in the statehouse, and whether you partake or not, legalization has major implications for civil rights and civil liberties, for social and racial justice, and, of course, for those who see cannabis as an enormous opportunity to make a lot of money. While federal legalization remains distant, how states legalize could play a significant role in determining the type of cannabis economy that may emerge in America. Will it be a market characterized by equity and competition--a small business success story--or a market dominated by politically influential corporate interests: Big Weed? On this episode of “Who Is?,” Sean Morrow takes a look at legalization and who stands to benefit from it.     Emily Dufton, a writer and historian.

Learn about an entrepreneur’s high-stakes adventures in the budding legal marijuana business. Hippies, stoners, burn-outs, psychedelic art, Woodstock. These are all the stereotypes and associations that society uses to identify people who smoke marijuana. However, these stereotypes are becoming what we consider the "Old World" of marijuana. With propaganda films like Reefer Madness, the Old World aimed to scare Americans away from a plant, saying it would drive them insane and turn them into murderers, prostitutes, or worse. The “New World,” however, is vastly different. It’s become a world where private equity firms invest millions of dollars in this hot new industry. It’s a world where law-abiding citizens can check into a pricey bed and breakfast for the weekend and legally smoke a joint while relaxing naked in a hot tub. It’s a world where chronically or terminally ill patients have access to a natural product that can help alleviate the symptoms of their diseases. It’s a world where building a lifestyle brand like Apple or Starbucks is a very real and likely possibility. This type of brand is exactly what entrepreneur Christian Hageseth set out to achieve. Throughout Big Weed, you will learn Hageseth’s story as he became a major player in the cannabis industry, telling you the ins and outs surrounding the world of weed, and how he turned Green Man Cannabis into a multi-million dollar business.

Christian Hageseth has over nine years of experience in the Colorado legal cannabis industry and over 20 years of experience as an entrepreneur. He founded Green Man Cannabis in Denver, Colo. in 2009 and has been active in the industry across multiple states. Green Man is well-known for its connoisseur-grade craft cannabis and many High Times Cannabis Cup wins – which is the industry's most prestigious award for product excellence. In 2015, High Times Magazine recognized Hageseth with an industry Trailblazer Award. His experience in the legal cannabis industry and his predictions for its future are outlined in his book Big Weed, published by Macmillan in 2015.

Is medical cannabis about to be taken over by Big Business? By Big Pharma…and Big Tobacco. And how will that impact this business that literally has grown…from the ground up? We take an in-depth look at the fast-growing world of CBD and THC -- and how Big Business may be changing the whole landscape. For better…or not. This week, on High on the Hog: The Potcast!

Bruce Linton runs the world's biggest cannabis producer, Canopy Growth. He visited Breakingviews to discuss what's coming down the pipe in 2019, why a $100 bln weed company is still some way off, and why he doesn't actually partake - yet. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

There are two industries around the world that are on the cusp of exponential growth… The first is crypto currencies and assets like Bitcoin, and the second is grass, ganja, the reefer, mary jane, aka, marijuana. Thanks to the states of Colorado and Washington, the doors were opened to the recreational legalization of cannabis in 2012. Since then 47 out of 50 states have legalized marijuana sales for medical use, while 11 have made it fully legal for sale recreationally. But those laws are changing incredibly fast as the general public’s perception of marijuana has started to change, and as these state government’s begin to the see the considerable amount of tax revenue being generated by this new industry. Within the next few years, the recreational sale and use of cannabis will be legalized across the country. Just like Crypto, this decriminalization process has kicked-off a new gold rush for savvy, forward thinking entrepreneurs. The race to capture the next $100 Billion market has begun, and today we’re joined by one of the biggest players in the industry, Christian Hageseth. Christian is the Founder of Green Man Cannabis, which is an award winning cultivation and dispensary company out of Colorado. Today, Christian is creating the first dispensary franchise through the ONE Cannabis Group, and they will be taking the company public in Q1 of 2019. Whether it’s creating your own line of CBD supplements, buying a One Cannabis Franchise, or simply investing in the stock of these companies as they start to go public, the opportunities this new industry is creating for entrepreneurs like you, are absolutely endless. If this is an industry that you’d like to learn more about, and learn quickly, then I’d recommend picking up a copy of Christian’s book, Big Weed. In a nod to Big Oil, Big Tobacco and Big Alcohol, Big Weed will bring you up to speed on every facet of the industry, and give you a basic lay of the land so you can start to understand it, and identify opportunities. So without further ado, please help me welcome, Christian Hageseth.

An article in Thrillist describes the fall of a beloved burger joint due to the complications of food tourism.

We didn't know until after we recorded this episode!

As of today—April 20, natch—recreational marijuana is legal in 9 states plus the District of Columbia. That gives everyone who *doesn't* live in those states a whole new reason to travel. And it’s birthing a new wing of the travel industry, too—one that’s spread roots through everything from food to hotels to souvenir shops. On this week’s podcast we take a long, deep hit of this nascent phenomenon. No doubt weed, now that it’s legit, will be big. But how will Big Weed change travel?

The ginormous company that owns Corona, who also bought one time craft brewer Ballast Point for a billion dollars, recently purchased a stake in a humongous Canadian marijuana company for nearly $200 million. Corona has always branded themselves as a beach beer. It makes sense that they would be interested in another popular summer beach product: weed. What this means for our community is discussed by our local panel of experts in our 56th recording of Drink Local Now. Todd Stimson, Patty Peace Macomb, Meredith Bennett, and Tommy Green are high with laughter and such. This episode is brought you by the catnip dispensary Meowntain High.

Rich, Chris and Steve continue to check in on the As the Ball Family Turns and their quest to build an indie-sneaker empire, Discuss winners and losers from the latest NFL licensing deals (Hint: Twitter isn't winning) and kick-off an ongoing discussion of how the coming Big Weed industry will effect the business and culture of sports. And we promise to never record during any Game 7 again.

It’s Reefer Madness week on Oral Argument. We talk with Douglas Berman about marijuana decriminalization and lots more. We discuss blogs and scholarship, LSD, why minds might be changing and how they change on drug use, parental paternalism and state paternalism, what we mean by “good drugs” and “bad drugs,” the productivity of intoxication, why law students take an interest in philosophy and sociology when it comes to drug laws. What levers should we use to minimize the dangers drugs pose, and what levers are available to us? We talk a bit about Portugal, the Netherlands, Sweden, and North Korea. Yes, North Korea. Is part of the right answer to restrict the market to Mom and Pop Pot? How do we do that in a maelstrom of conflicting federal and state laws?
