Podcasts about Cannabis

In this episode of the Cannabis Accounting Podcast, host Raymond Guns sits down with Eric Halpern, founder of The Halp Center, to break down how cannabis retailers can buy smarter, turn inventory faster, and stop tying up cash in the vault.Eric started his career as a big box pharmacist and moved into Connecticut's medical marijuana program in 2019, when dispensaries had to be run by pharmacists. Over six and a half years at Fine Fettle, he went from buying for a single store to leading commercial strategy for 11 locations across Connecticut and Massachusetts.Eric breaks down:

California-based cannabis industry leaders Jocelyn Sheltraw and Claudio Miranda discuss technology meeting cannabis conscious-consumption. The partners in life and business, with a combined 40+ years in the industry, teamed up to start Budist: the first dedicated social review platform for cannabis products and brands. These back-to-back conversations shed serious light onto culture and connoisseurship, how tech and social media shape the industry, and keeping cannabis information censor-free.

Cole is joined by Grown In's Brad Spirrison for a wide-ranging conversation about THC beverages, hemp and the future of cannabis in Illinois. They discuss what could happen when Illinois' new hemp rules take effect, why low-dose THC drinks have reached consumers who might never visit a dispensary, and how the cannabis industry could respond to an uncertain state and federal landscape. The conversation also explores how legalization has changed cannabis culture, the differences between markets like Illinois and Michigan, and what the next chapter of cannabis legalization might look like.

In this episode, Cole looks at how cannabis tax revenue is being used to fund Flock license plate readers in Champaign County and raises broader questions about where Illinois cannabis tax dollars actually go. The conversation also turns to the latest federal cannabis rescheduling developments after a DEA judge paused proceedings amid new questions about the process behind the proposed move to Schedule III. Later, Cole dives into the debate over THC potency limits, including whether higher-dose cannabis beverages should be available outside dispensaries, what role age restrictions should play, and how cannabis regulations compare with the way alcohol is sold.

Massachusetts is at the center of the nation's cannabis conversation as a looming repeal ballot initiative threatens the livelihoods of nearly 18,000 workers across the state's marijuana industry. Despite the existential risk to these businesses and local jobs, recent polling shows that Massachusetts voters overwhelmingly oppose repealing adult-use cannabis, signaling strong public commitment to maintaining the regulated market. This critical fight for market stability in the Commonwealth unfolds alongside wider industry maturation, where even traditional commercial insurers are pushing for broader cannabis access to capture demand in states where legal cannabis has firmly taken root.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Cannabis policy looks very different when you zoom out. Global cannabis attorney Anthony Traurig joins Sara to talk about expanding medical access, the growth of international trade, and why the U.S. is still largely shut out of that market. [Ep 227]

This Kundalini Sunday Zoom explores how awakening may affect couples, energy levels, sleep, creativity, habits, and the body. Chrism works with a married couple on what he describes as a shared activation, discussing fatigue, alternate-nostril breathing, meditation, physical closeness, service to others, and allowing one partner's process to influence the other.A part of the session follows a participant describing an overwhelming experience after returning to marijuana during an emerging activation. The conversation explores intense involuntary movement, fear, surrender, forgiveness, and avoiding substances that may complicate the process. The group also discusses attachment to spiritually significant encounters, community healing, fatigue as a possible call for greater rest, Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine, Shakti radiance being mistaken for sexual attraction, physical discomfort, dental care, and increasingly instantaneous creative intuition.Included topics: 25-day Shaktipat, Kundalini fatigue, chronic exhaustion, cacao versus coffee, couples sharing an activation, tantric positioning, alternate-nostril breathing, sleeping posture, outdoor meditation, back-to-back partner practice, mantra meditation, subtle activation, service to others, Kundalini community, overwhelming energy movement, cannabis and marijuana, substance-triggered activation, involuntary movements, fear during awakening, surrender, “I give myself to my Kundalini,” forgiveness, addiction history, craniosacral therapy, head pressure, creative kriyas, teaching and artistic inspiration, attachment to spiritually meaningful encounters, isolation on the Kundalini path, group healing, karma and past-life claims, physical wounds, fatigue and downtime, energy drinks and caffeine, Sacred Feminine and Sacred Masculine, Kundalini detoxification, Shakti radiance, sexual attraction versus energetic attraction, first- and second-chakra energy, nose and facial pressure, instantaneous intuition, creative guidance, pelvic pain, and relationship with the Sacred Masculine.•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•≈•Drawing on more than six decades of direct experience with awakened Kundalini, Chrism offers grounded guidance for those navigating the physical and energetic challenges of awakening.This podcast is offered freely to support those walking the path of Kundalini awakening.For private one on one support from Chrism for your own Kundalini equation, as well as other services and resources, visit  .Recorded live on 13 Sep 2026

La idea del tercer ojo ha intrigado a la humanidad durante miles de años. Diferentes culturas y tradiciones espirituales han hablado de un punto especial en la mente que estaría relacionado con la intuición, la conciencia y la percepción de la realidad más allá de los cinco sentidos. En este episodio exploramos el origen de este concepto, desde las antiguas enseñanzas del hinduismo y el budismo hasta las primeras teorías filosóficas que intentaron relacionarlo con el cerebro humano.https://cannamedicol.com/

O que é preciso para transformar cannabis em ciência dentro da universidade? Na Unila (Universidade Federal da Integração Latinoamericana), em Foz do Iguaçu, um professor decidiu montar um dos núcleos mais ativos do Brasil na pesquisa com cannabis e psicodélicos. Hoje, o LCP, laboratório coordenado por Ney Nascimento, reúne cerca de quarenta profissionais e conduz estudos que vão de doenças neurodegenerativas a novas formas de controle do apetite com psicodélicos.No episódio 128 do Cannabis Hoje Pod, eu converso com o professor Ney sobre o que acontece por trás das pesquisas: como elas começam, de onde vêm as perguntas, quais são as dificuldades para conseguir material e autorização e como um laboratório universitário consegue colocar essa engrenagem em andamento. Falamos também sobre os estudos com Alzheimer e Parkinson, as pesquisas com ayahuasca e psilocibina e sobre o que ainda falta descobrir para que a ciência brasileira avance nesse campo.Aperta o play para entrar em um dos mais importantes centros de pesquisa com cannabis e psicodélicos do Brasil.***Ney indicaDráulio Araújo - pesquisador e professor de psicodélicos na UFRN***Encontre o Neyhttps://www.instagram.com/neypnascimento/Encontre o LCP da Unilahttps://www.instagram.com/lcp.unila/***MARCAS APOIADORAS DA 6ª TEMPORADAEssas são marcas que valorizam a comunicação responsável e o jornalismo de excelência como pilares para orientar o desenvolvimento do setor.Farmácia Ephiciência: https://farmaciaephiciencia.com.br/Blis: https://appblis.com.br/Farma USA: https://farmausa.com/USA Hemp: https://www.usahempbrasil.com/AbecMed: https://abecmed.com.br/Tristar Express: https://tristarexpress.com/***Para seguir por dentro dos avanços da cannabis e dos psicodélicos:Assine a news: https://cannabishoje.substack.com/Siga no Insta: https://www.instagram.com/cannabishoje/Inscreva-se no Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@cannabishojeAcesse: https://linktr.ee/anitakrepp

This episode follows DrewCouver, an independent journalist documenting homelessness, addiction, mental health, and street-level drug use across Vancouver and beyond. Graham and Darren press him on what he is seeing on the ground, and the conversation widens into treatment policy, organized crime, NGOs, and what recovery should actually look like. Drew brings a highly personal perspective too. He talks about his own history with addiction, injury, recovery, group homes, and the way those experiences shaped the camera work and interviews he now does in the downtown east side and across British Columbia. Independent Journalist. Content Creator. Independent Reporting To create more awareness about the homeless issues, mental health and addiction issues, and the misinformation about the people that live in their addiction. Support: http://drewcouver.com/donate.php https://www.drewcouver.com/ https://x.com/DrewCouver56 Key topics Drew shares his background growing up in BC, moving to Vancouver at 18, getting into nightlife and drugs, surviving severe addiction, and eventually getting sober. He explains how back injuries, opioid prescriptions, and a bad COVID-era spiral pushed him into a new round of dependence before he chose to get clean again. The discussion centers on Vancouver's downtown east side, where Drew says harm reduction has become disconnected from recovery and public safety. Drew argues that treatment in BC and Alberta often keeps people on methadone, Suboxone, hydromorphone, or fentanyl rather than pushing abstinence. He contrasts Alberta's approach with BC's and says Alberta is at least less rigid about forcing people off harm-reduction medication in treatment. The conversation turns to open-air drug markets, apps used by dealers, and cross-contamination in the cocaine and fentanyl supply. Drew describes the hollowing out of downtown cores across BC cities such as Prince George, Vernon, Kelowna, Smithers, and others. He claims NGOs and nonprofit networks have become a major money channel, especially around housing, homelessness, and Aboriginal-focused organizations. The episode digs into how funding, grant writing, and identity-based programs can create systems that protect institutions more than they help addicts. Drew makes a broad case for returning to tougher recovery standards, more consequences for crime, and a stronger role for 12-step programs and personal accountability.   To gain access to the second half of show and our Plus feed for audio and podcast please clink the link http://www.grimericaoutlawed.ca/support.

Send us Fan MailA costume-party Prohibition story falls apart fast when you look at the body count. I'm digging into a fact I didn't know until recently and can't stop thinking about: an estimated 10,000 Americans died from poisoned alcohol during Prohibition, and a meaningful share of that harm traces back to deliberate government policy. When you criminalize something people still want, the demand doesn't evaporate. The supply chain changes hands, quality control disappears, and the risk shifts onto the public.If this sparks thoughts about legalization, regulation, or repair, I want to hear them.

Fran Frye is a sex educator, counselor, and advocate for men's mental health. She helps men understand themselves sexually so they can have a more fulfilling life. She works with men who watch more porn than they mean to, feel gone from their bodies during sex, keep a secret sex life, or sit in the shower after infidelity thinking, "Why did I do that again??", and much more.Fran is a rape survivor, an athlete, and a death doula.We talk about the years she disappeared from her own body after she was raped in college, and how movement brought her back. We talk about arousal when we are actually angry, scared, or just flooded - and why 'getting off' does not answer what the body was asking. We get into the shame after cheating and after masturbation, the missing words for what you actually want in bed, porn as both a relief and a stand-in for sex you are not having, how Fran took her power back after harm, and the intimacy nobody wants to name when someone is dying.The way Fran sees it: You don't have a sex problem.

The conversation covers the ongoing federal fight over hemp, including the delay of upcoming federal changes and competing proposals for regulating the industry. Brian Dombrowski joins the show to discuss THCA flower, testing and labeling, track and trace, dosage caps, consumer access and why he believes hemp offers a path toward broader cannabis access. We also revisit Brian's recent appearance on The Dales Report and dig into the growing divide between the hemp and state-licensed marijuana industries, including competition, licensing barriers and the debate over whether cannabis should ultimately be regulated through separate medical and adult-use lanes.

While the broader cannabis market grapples with steep price compression, state-level missteps in both California and New York have turned promise into an uphill battle for legal operators. In California, despite generating $8.4 billion in economic impact, compliant businesses face relentless margin collapse driven by aggressive competition from an entrenched underground market, forcing the state into continuous law-enforcement crackdowns on illicit operators. Meanwhile, across the country, New York has scaled into a billion-dollar market on paper, yet its licensed operators are suffocating under bureaucratic inertia, regulatory red tape, and storefront bottlenecks that desperately require relief to let operators breathe. Across both coasts, legal operators are finding that high state revenues and massive demand mean very little when untaxed competition and administrative hurdles threaten to wipe out commercial margins entirely.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Anonymous That Dude built Head Stash during the founding era of exotic weed. Here is how he got there, and what it cost him.Anonymous That Dude was in the cannabis game before the industry had a name for what he was doing. An upstate New York kid who hit the road at 18 on Grateful Dead and Further Fest tours, learned to source and move exotic work across state lines, and eventually built Head Stash into one of the first dessert-era cannabis brands, right alongside Runtz, Cookies, and Sherbinskis.This conversation covers the full arc: the early tour hustle and door-to-door sales career that taught him how to sell anything to anyone, the first California plug connects and car-for-packs trades in Ukiah, a Pennsylvania traffic stop that ended in extradition and 29 days in a gang module, and how a single validation post from Ray Bomb turned Head Stash from a brand nobody would stock into one shops were calling about within hours. He also breaks down the 90-acre Oklahoma outdoor operation he built in the first wave, the supply chain decisions that separated his harvest from everyone else's, and what happened when the market collapsed, a close friend died, and a spinal tumor sent him to emergency surgery on the same farm where he was trying to rebuild.This episode also gets into the pheno hunt series he is running now: 60-jar limited drops in different cities and countries, no strain information at point of sale, scan-code feedback from buyers, and a December reveal party in Los Angeles where every numbered jar becomes a ticket. It is one of the more creative community engagement plays in the current cannabis market, and he explains the whole architecture.JP and Anonymous That Dude also get into what the early Haight Street Cookies scene actually looked like from the inside, how Berner shaped his understanding of what a cannabis brand could be, and what it meant to watch the branded bag era go from $4,500 packs to $20 eighths in what felt like no time.Chapters below.Connect with Anonymous That Dude:Website: headstashnow.comInstagram: @anonymousthatdude | @headstashonlyFollow Good PizzZa:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GoodPizzzaInstagram: @_goodpizzza_ | @goodpizzzapodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2HHXF0ijATYi8eHIq0rDToApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/good-pizzza-podcast/id1622059263#goodpizzza #headstash #podcastCHAPTERS01:45 Cold Open: The Festival Story That Explains Everything07:50 Growing Up in Upstate New York and the Opiate Epidemic10:00 First Dead Show at 18 and Learning to Work the Lot12:30 The Arizona Play: Sending Money, Getting Robbed, Driving Out Armed22:30 Landing Homeless in Tucson and Building Up From One Ounce37:31 The Fugitive Years: Fake News Paranoia and Bootleg Clothes as Cover47:00 Door-to-Door Meat Sales and the Sales Philosophy That Carried Into Cannabis55:00 First California Trip, the Sir Francis Drake Okie-Doke, and Cars for Packs1:00:00 The Pennsylvania Stop, Extradition, and 29 Days in a Gang Module1:17:00 Becoming a Rapper as a Cover Story That Turned Real: Berner and Kevin Gates1:55:57 Pipe Dreams on Haight Street and the Birth of Head Stash2:03:30 The Runtz Cut, Ray Bomb's Validation Post, and Breaking Into the Rec Market2:20:00 Oklahoma: 150,000 Clones, 90 Acres, and the First Legal Money2:27:00 Cookie Monster's Death, the Bird Omen, and Buying Land on the Lake2:44:00 Spinal Tumor Emergency Surgery and Making a Will in a Moving Car2:55:30 Getting a License After 16 Years and Going Fully Legal in Oklahoma3:09:30 Hash Hole Island, Berlin, and Relaunching Head Stash3:31:00 The Pheno Hunt Series: 60 Jars, No Info, Crowd Feedback, Party Reveal3:36:48 Top 3 Strains of All Time and Closinge describes as his personal forever strain.

This week, it’s a family affair at #TheShop. Steelo Brim and Travis Bennett are joined by Syd—Travis’s sister, the acclaimed artist and co-founder of The Internet—for their first-ever sit-down conversation together. They run back what their life on tour was like during their days with Odd Future. NLE Choppa also pulls up to reflect on the spiritual awakening that led him to be baptized again. They unpack how dramatically technology has changed in a single generation— the wild reality of being a celebrity in the internet era. And they get deep on how mental health affects every part of life, and the unsettling feeling of realizing you might be a little too high. 0:00 - Intro 00:50 - SYD and Choppa's Early Music Careers 04:20 - Why NLE and SYD Stopped Being Vegan 07:05 - The Difference Between Generations and Social Media 20:50 - Remembering Childhood Bullies 22:32 - It's Not Normal to Be Famous 25:53 - Working With Family 32:00 - Handling the Power of Cannabis 36:18 - NLE Choppa on Getting Re-Baptized 41:32 - The Balance Between Ego and Pride 43:53 - It's Hard to Hide From Family 47:07 - Young Taco and SYD 48:50 - Hoop Dreams 52:23 - Why Steelo Doesn't Like the Bulls 54:28 - Does It Feel Different Releasing Music Now vs. the Beginning? 59:08 - Learning to Accept Yourself See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Darrell and the crew get real about how weed has quietly shifted from a recreational thing to straight-up utility now that they're in their 40s — sleep, sore joints, and the sacred art of the couch power nap all make an appearance. There's a full detour into a real coyote encounter that Darrell's neighbor apparently mistook for a guy losing it at a fire hydrant, plus some standard dad-gym talk about testosterone and jujitsu buddies who might be "on the tea." Then the main event: an inflation rant disguised as a game, cataloguing everything that used to cost a buck — Arizona iced tea, Jack in the Box tacos, candy bars, McDonald's dollar menu (RIP) — before spiraling into weed pricing and which states now consider six figures "lower middle class."

After 16 months on bail waiting to be sentenced, Natascha Consigli was given 15 months with no parole. She tells Gary what her first night locked up was really like and how prison changed her.From getting a black eye from her cellmate and refusing to press charges, to realising at 52 how much privilege she'd had compared to the young women inside with her, this is an honest conversation about accountability, rehabilitation and what actually stops reoffending. Natascha now works with Success Works helping women with criminal records find meaningful employment because it costs $180K to jail a woman in Australia and a fraction of that to rebuild her life through a job.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome back, kids. Your eyes are red, your mouth is dry, and suddenly that cheesecake you don't even like sounds pretty fucking good. What's up with that?This week, we're getting into three cannabis experiences most of us know a little too well: red eyes, cottonmouth, and wanting to eat everything in sight. We talk about THC, CB1 receptors, and what might be going on behind those familiar feelings—with a few personal stories and the occasional tangent. Because of course there are tangents.We're also comparing our experiences with flower, carts, and edibles, talking about snacks that actually leave us satisfied, and getting into why “sativa for the day, indica for the night” doesn't tell the whole story.

Send us Fan MailA tomato vine on a scrap-wood fence. A few chickens underfoot. And right there in the same Northern California garden, cannabis thriving in the exact same soil. That image unlocks a bigger truth: cannabis didn't grow up as a separate cultural timeline. It rose beside the American organic food movement, driven by the same questions about trust, chemicals, and who gets to decide what's “safe” to put in our bodies.I walk through the roots of that shift, starting with Rachel Carson's Silent Spring and the growing suspicion of industrial farming. From there, we head into the back-to-the-land era, when thousands of people left cities to grow their own food, build co-ops, share techniques, and opt out of systems they no longer believed in. In Northern California's Emerald Triangle, that mindset often meant one homestead, two crops: vegetables for the table and cannabis for the pipe, tended by the same hands with the same compost and the same values.We also name the messy parts. Cannabis becomes an income source for many communities. Organic and cannabis both go mainstream, and regulation brings real benefits in consistency and safety, while also turning living philosophies into labels, packaging, and premium markups. I bring it back to the kitchen where it belongs: if you've ever felt that back-to-the-land spark while making infused butter, dialing in your dose, or choosing your own ingredients for homemade edibles and topicals, you're part of a much longer story than you might realize.If you enjoy food history, cannabis education, and practical home cooking for edibles, hit subscribe, share this with a friend who grows something, and leave a review so more curious cooks can find the show.The map you need to start making great edibles in easy, digestible lessons.

What is really cool and what is not. Recently, a YouGov survey took several items to see which were the most cool. While most folks think it's cool to use cannabis, the survey rated weed fourth to last on a 36-item coolness scale. Cannabis actually rated less cool than sour dough bread, math, and even country music. Interestingly enough, it did rate above sports betting. The lowest rating went to cryptocurrency. I'm not sure how accurate the survey was—but what do you think is most cool about life—your answer will help define and develop your value system. Does your rating match up with truth as we understand truth from a Biblical perspective? How cool is your life?

She is a triple-certified building biologist and interior designer who rebuilt her practice around the idea that many modern building materials are contributing to poor health.The conversation gets specific. Acrylic paints she describes as smelling like acetone. Spray foam that can obscure water damage in a wall assembly. Fixed LED cans that are impossible to swap out. A smart meter her own utility company claimed it didn't know how to remove. Carpet that the EPA studied and removed from its own headquarters, before publicly denying it caused harm.A lot of what she recommends comes back to older craft. The five-weight pulley window built to be repaired. Linseed oil instead of a plastic coating. Mineral paint that binds to the wall rather than sitting on top of it. Kapok, cork, hemp, natural latex. Most of these predate the synthetic versions that replaced them.Lauren also explains why she thinks of mold as a way-shower rather than a villain, and why building smaller may matter more than building "green."You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[7:02] The rain barrel effect and reaching critical mass[12:11] Discovering building biology after a spiritual awakening[24:40] Why Europe builds with mass wall systems[34:35] Interrupting the general contractor's monocultured approach[43:09] Any redeeming qualities in modern homes[58:22] Healthy material swaps, from kapok fiber to cork flooring[1:16:02] Removing the smart meter and choosing circadian lighting[1:36:08] The German origins and 25 principles of building biology[1:57:07] We're building too big, and the greed and speed behind it[2:15:16] Moon wood and harvesting by the lunar cycle[2:31:06] A closing quote on biophilia and the built environmentRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Cancer, Forest Bathing, and Bio-hacking featuring Dean Hall | PodcastThe Science of Cannabis & Its True Health Benefits with Dani Fontaine | PodcastThe Hidden Ways Your Home Affects Your Health (And Your Spirit) with Danijela Saponjic | PodcastResources Mentioned:Healthy Building Alliance | WebsitePrescriptions for a Healthy House by Paula Baker-Laporte and John C Banta | BookMap of Synthetica | WebsiteLumios from Ra Optics | Website25 Principles of Building Biology | PDFThe Moon Wood | DocumentaryFind more from Lauren:Haus Holistics | WebsiteBuilding Biology Institute | WebsiteBuilding Biology Interior Design | MasterclassSee how Lauren's renovating her house on Instagram.Find more from Alec:Alec Zeck | Instagram | XThe Way Forward | InstagramDonate to The Way Forward here.The Way Forward is Sponsored By:New Biology Clinic: Redefine Health from the Ground UpExperience tailored terrain-based health services with consults, livestreams, movement classes, and more.

München, Dezember 2025: Nach einem Notruf finden Einsatzkräfte einen 16-Jährigen leblos und alleine zurückgelassen auf dem Boden eines Hotelzimmers. Dort hat nur kurz zuvor eine exzessive Party mit Drogen und Alkohol stattgefunden, für die sich zahlreiche junge Männer und Frauen im Internet gezielt verabredet hatten. Ein Einzelfall oder gängige Praxis? Seit Jahren schon steigt der Konsum von illegalen Drogen in Deutschland unter jungen Menschen. Besonders gefährlich sind sogenannte „Neue psychoaktive Substanzen“: Manche von ihnen können bis zu tausendfach stärker wirken als „klassische“ Drogen wie Kokain und sind für Konsumierende oft kaum einzuschätzen. Viele Rapper und Influencer verstärken den Hype – und für den Kauf reichen mittlerweile wenige Klicks im Internet. Gleichzeitig verändert die Teillegalisierung von Cannabis den gesellschaftlichen Umgang mit Drogen: Welche Auswirkungen hat das auf den Konsum von Jugendlichen? Weshalb sind sogenannte Baller-Liquids und Vapes mittlerweile beliebter als Zigaretten? Sind Schmerzmittel wie Tillidin und Fentanyl hierzulande bald genauso auf dem Vormarsch wie in den USA? Und wieso ist Kokain heutzutage billiger als je zuvor? Auf diese und weitere Fragen geht Kriminalhauptkommissar Michael Mergenthaler in der Spezialfolge ein. Der Präventionsbeamte des Polizeipräsidiums München ist zu Gast bei Rudi Cerne und Nicola Haenisch-Korus und berichtet von seiner Arbeit als Koordinator des Projekts „Sauba bleim“, einem Programm zur Sucht- und Drogenprävention. Darüber hinaus erklärt er, bei welchen Anzeichen man von einer Sucht spricht und warum Eltern die wichtigsten Vorbilder bleiben. Außerdem im Interview: Dr. Eric Samel, Oberstaatsanwalt bei der Staatsanwaltschaft Trier. Er berichtet, wie die Behörden gegen Drogenkriminalität vorgehen – und warum die Ermittlungen oft so schwierig sind. *** Links für Drogen- und Suchtberatung: • Suchtberatung für erwachsene Betroffene, Angehörige und Eltern: www.suchtberatung.digital • Beratungsstellen der Deutsche Hauptstelle für Suchtfragen e.V.

This week on High on Home Grown, we're joined by Ben Owens, a cannabis content creator, ghostwriter and business advisor who has worked behind the scenes across the cannabis media and business world. We start by talking about one of the biggest changes happening in online media right now: AI. As artificial intelligence becomes increasingly capable of creating articles, content and even entire websites, what does that mean for writers, publishers and the future of cannabis media? We get Ben's perspective from someone who has experience working on both the content and business sides of the industry. We also get back to what we really like talking about on High on Home Grown: growing cannabis. Ben talks us through his own growing methods, including how he approaches cloning and the techniques he uses to keep plants going from one generation to the next. And, of course, we couldn't let Ben on the show without discussing the elephant in the room for the US cannabis seed industry: the upcoming seed ban. We talk about the potential impact on seed sellers, breeders and growers, how businesses are dealing with the uncertainty, and what the future could look like for the US seed market if the proposed changes come into effect. It's another relaxed conversation covering growing, cloning, cannabis media, AI, business and the rapidly changing legal landscape in the USA.

Sea Squirt Plasmalogens Show Brain And Aging Benefits In Old Mice Aged mice given purified plasmalogen supplements showed better memory performance, healthier synaptic structure, lower neuroinflammation, and increased signaling tied to neurite growth and synapse development, with treated mice even growing thicker, darker, glossier hair. Plasmalogens are specialized lipids concentrated in cell membranes and the brain that tend to decline with age and neurodegenerative disease, making them an intriguing target for cognitive longevity. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why membrane composition matters for brain signaling, mitochondrial function, and inflammation, while stressing that this remains mouse research from 2022 and does not mean eating sea squirts or taking an unproven plasmalogen supplement will reproduce the same effects in humans. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260902234518.htm https://doi.org/10.3389/fmolb.2022.815320 ~~ Apple Watch Series 12 Adds More HRV Data, Readiness Scoring, And Health Age Apple Watch Series 12 pushes deeper into health tracking with heart rate measurements every five seconds, substantially more frequent HRV sampling, a new daily Readiness score, and a Longevity section in the Health app featuring Health Age. Apple is also expanding its health ecosystem with daytime vitals, movement assessments, menopause tracking, and Quest Diagnostics lab ordering for more than fifty biomarkers. Host Dave Asprey explains why higher-frequency wearable data can become useful for spotting changes in stress, recovery, sleep, and illness, but warns against letting algorithmic scores override your own baseline, symptoms, and real-world performance. Source: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/09/introducing-apple-watch-series-12-with-the-all-new-health-sensing-system/ ~~ FDA Moves To Accelerate Botanical Drug Development The FDA has opened a formal request for input on how to accelerate botanical drug development, including better clinical trial designs, stronger quality standards, improved standardization of complex plant mixtures, and expanded use of real-world evidence. The agency is also working with the European Medicines Agency on regulatory considerations for herbal and botanical medicines, potentially creating a clearer path for standardized plant-derived therapies to move beyond vague supplement claims and into more rigorous clinical testing. Host Dave Asprey breaks down why this could strengthen the evidence behind compounds like berberine, saffron, medicinal mushrooms, and flavanols, while also warning that more pharmaceutical-style regulation could increase costs and reduce access. Source: https://www.healthmanagement.com/insights/weekly-roundup-v2/september-9-2026/ ~~ Persistent Adolescent Cannabis Use Linked To Long-Term IQ And Cognitive Decline A long-running New Zealand birth cohort found that people with persistent cannabis dependence beginning in adolescence showed significant cognitive decline by age thirty-eight, including losses in IQ, memory, processing speed, attention, and executive function. The most persistent users showed an average decline of roughly eight IQ points, while adult-onset users did not show the same pattern, pointing toward adolescence as a potentially important developmental vulnerability window. Host Dave Asprey explains why this 2012 observational study cannot prove cannabis caused every cognitive change, but argues that dose, frequency, age of exposure, and brain development all matter when evaluating cannabis for performance, health, or therapeutic use. Source: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3479587/ ~~ Pterostilbene Helps Mouse Muscle Cells Burn More Fat Through PPAR-Delta Researchers testing pterostilbene, a polyphenol found in blueberries and grapes, found that it reduced intracellular fat accumulation and increased fatty acid oxidation in cultured mouse muscle cells. Rather than directly activating PPAR-delta, pterostilbene appeared to slow its breakdown, leaving more of the protein available to regulate genes involved in fat metabolism and potentially offering a new mechanistic target for myosteatosis and metabolic dysfunction. Host Dave Asprey explains why the PPAR-delta mechanism is interesting for metabolic health, but draws a clear line between promising cell research and human outcomes, emphasizing that resistance training, walking, muscle mass, and mitochondrial health still have far stronger evidence than taking blueberry extracts to reduce muscle fat. Sources: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/09/260903064219.htm https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fbio.2026.109519 https://www.reddit.com/r/Biohackers/comments/1w8flq4/compound_in_blueberries_may_help_muscle_cells/ ~~ This episode is designed for biohackers, longevity enthusiasts, and high-performance listeners who want emerging research on brain aging, wearables, botanical medicine, cannabis, metabolic health, and supplements translated into what matters for human biology. Host Dave Asprey separates promising mechanisms from premature hype and explains how to evaluate new health research through the lens of evidence quality, dose, biological context, and measurable outcomes.

When states began legalizing recreational cannabis a couple decades ago, 25 million Americans said they used the drug. That number nearly tripled to 70 million by 2023.There are a lot of open questions about how it affects us. Why do some people find more pain relief from THC than traditional painkillers?
