It's been ten years since Colorado first legalized adult-use weed. Over that decade, the way journalists and their audiences have related to cannabis has drastically changed. That's largely thanks to a crew of reporters at The Denver Post who, in 2013, launched The Cannabist, the first mainstream media outlet's coverage of cannabis at the very dawn of legalization. And they did it with great journalistic integrity, setting the tone for future journalists for how to reliably report on pot.In this episode, host Brit Smith talks to the founder of The Cannabist, Ricardo Baca, about how the US mainstream media's coverage of cannabis has evolved and impacted society and cannabis culture.Brit and Ricardo talk about his experience being hired as the first US cannabis editor at the start of mainstream cannabis journalism. They discuss the stigma he faced on nightly talk shows, the kinds of stories he remembers covering, how his team chose what to cover and the right tone to use, and which articles got the most pushback and support.They also talk about what Ricardo has seen change in how major outlets cover the cannabis industry and culture over the last decade, where he sees the future of cannabis culture going, how journalism plays a part in that growth, and what he's doing now with his marketing and PR firm Grasslands: A Journalism-Minded Agency.Follow us on social media @DifferentLeaf and find host Brit Smith @BritTheBritishGo to DifferentLeaf.com to get your copy of our latest magazine issue or to find your local in-person retailer.

"What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act 2 Scene 2 What is in a name? Lately, more than Mr. Shakespeare would think. Our name is our identity; it's how we tell people who we are. Since 2019, Columbia Care sought to provide cannabis consumers here in San Diego with the best products to fit their needs. After a while, however, as they grew, they felt the same had to grow with them. People just weren't getting the message. So what do you do when this happens? You know you have great products and great people, and you want everyone to know it. You keep the best parts of what makes you unique, and you fix the rest to stand out from the crowd. They didn't just slap on a coat of paint and call it good; they grew their brand along with them, and thus Cannabist was born like a phoenix rising from its own ashes. OK, maybe that's a little too dramatic, but you get the idea. Cannabist held their Grand Re-opening on Saturday, August 21st, 2021, to re-introduce themselves to San Diego and show everyone how they can compete with the big dogs. I got to talk with Erick Rodriguez, Regional Manager for California, Chris Ras, West Coast VP for Columbia Care/Cannabist, and a plethora of vendors who are all about bringing the best, highest quality cannabis to the San Diego market. The budtenders aren't just there to sell you weed and get you high; they've been trained to help the cannabis customer, whether medical or recreational, get the exact high they want in the way they want it. Cannabist is truly creating “A Higher Experience” in the San Diego cannabis market. CannaBlogger's Corner is sponsored by: Better Homes with Cannabis.

After a while, however, as they grew, they felt the same had to grow with them. People just weren't getting the message. So what do you do when this happens? You know you have great products and great people, and you want everyone to know it. You keep the best parts of what makes you unique, and you fix the rest to stand out from the crowd. They didn't just slap on a coat of paint and call it good; they grew their brand along with them, and thus Cannabist was born like a phoenix rising from its own ashes. OK, maybe that's a little too dramatic, but you get the idea. Cannabist held their Grand Re-opening on Saturday, August 21st, 2021, to re-introduce themselves to San Diego and show everyone how they can compete with the big dogs. I got to talk with Erick Rodriguez, Regional Manager for California, Chris Ras, West Coast VP for Columbia Care/Cannabist, and a plethora of vendors who are all about bringing the best, highest quality cannabis to the San Diego market. The budtenders aren't just there to sell you weed and get you high; they've been trained to help the cannabis customer, whether medical or recreational, get the exact high they want in the way they want it. Cannabist is truly creating “A Higher Experience” in the San Diego cannabis market. CannaBlogger's Corner is sponsored by: Better Homes with Cannabis.

Welcome back to another episode of CannaBlogger's Corner! This week, I was invited to get a behind-the-scenes look at Cannabist, the dispensary formerly known as Columbia Care, in PB. They're one of the many San Diego businesses that took the opportunity during the pandemic to reinvent themselves. I got to chat with their head of marketing and community outreach, Carolyn Kates, about their house brands (they have several), their business model, and how they plan to re-invent the term “corporate cannabis” in the best way possible. I also got to fanboy a little over meeting one of my biggest influences in the cannabis industry, Christina “The Canncierge” herself. It was great to finally meet her in person and share this experience (and discount code) with her. CannaBlogger's Corner is sponsored by: Better Homes with Cannabis.

Baked and Awake Podcast Season 2, Episode 01 January 7, 2018 Legal Cannabis Updates and Other News Old Business- Welcome to the first Episode of the Baked and Awake Podcast for 2018!! Holy Moly you Guys, we recorded 22 Episodes in 2017, having started this little project back in late August, almost September. In that time we have had well over 1000 downloads in total, with a one day record of 99 downloads! That just happened in December, with our Mars Hill Episodes One and Two! Thanks to everyone who participated in the MH episodes discussion and offline conversations. You all know who you are.. Looking forward to even more of that in the future, for sure, and I thoroughly enjoyed making those episodes, so please do check them out! What an honor it has been to spend time with you all and talk about all sorts of things we are not just “curious” about, but inspired to actively seek out and better understand them. That we may feel and appreciate esoteric topics more fully as our knowledge and comfort with them grows. But at its baseline, and for the purposes of this podcast there is one overriding and continuous theme we will devote ourselves to here, and it’s the plant. If you still are here with me by now, I’m gonna go ahead and take it for a given that you do too. Cannabis is a special gift, an embattled ally to millions, and perhaps the single greatest panacea against general pain, mental and physical suffering, and indeed grave diseases- to ever take the stage alongside we poor, fragile, fleshy humans in this short, brutally painful adventure that holds for each and every one of us but one possible conclusion. Is it such a wonder then, that some (most) folks in certain (many) industries and the halls of power don’t like it so much! But I digress! We have goals to set for 2018. The Royal “We”, LOL- meaning me of course. But hey- these can perhaps be shared goals. Let’s see how we do- you tell me. Record and publish once a week all year Visit as many shops, grows, kitchens, and labs as possible, and share them with you Raise awareness and funds for projects such as The Sentencing Project, NORML, and others that support and actively seek the end of mass incarceration in the US and particularly for non violent drug offenders. Support and raise awareness for National movements to legalize and reschedule Cannabis and Hemp in all their varieties. Continue to create more robust episode notes for reference purposes Pursue the above while respecting my Guests, Audience, and my Family at all times Baked and Awake Minifesto: Basically, the world I would like to live in would provide robust access to medical cannabis for patients in need. This world would also formally invest in heavy mainstream research into applications by western medical minds (Don’t fear it, it’s happening if we like it or not). Finally, this world will have decriminalized and de stigmatized, or rehabilitated- the Adult Casual Cannabis user as a normal member of society. One in fact that is recognizably more safe, productive, and healthy to be or be around, than say- heavy lifelong users of tobacco or alcohol. Reminder that we do have a Patreon page with super modest buy ins for supporting the show, and I have just ordered my first run of stickers to be made as thank you gifts for my early loyal supporters and subscribers- check the page out at: https://www.patreon.com/bakedandawakeshow, where you can learn more about exclusive content as well as bigger field trips planned for 2018! Perhaps even more exciting than some awkward crowdfunding page (sorry Patreon!), how about I tell you instead about our new Teepublic shop, where you can find ALL SORTS of sweet Baked and Awake swag like Stickers, T Shirts, Hoodies, Ladies T’s, Mugs, Totes, Banners for your smoking lair, and more! (Sorry, no kids sizes available because this is a show for Grown Folks. This is something I am genuinely excited about since I have started collecting AH-MAZING Radass (my own word, patented) logo designs from my good buddies T. Selin of Crimson Graphics and Robbo, AKA ZAEOS who is a local legend around here in the Graffitti community. This new shop is a way you can really, seriously support the show, because every time you take a sip from your Baked and Awake Coffee mug during your morning standup meeting at Amazon, everyone will know you are a fascinating and mysterious individual, with interests of which they know almost nothing. They will pine vaguely for your attention, as they wonder “what IS that strange but compelling logo on their mug? What does it mean? I wonder if I can Google it?” -sentiments to that effect. Go and see what I mean, visit the shop, and be among the first to begin spreading the word about Baked and Awake to the unwashed masses, of which there are kabillions who still need to hear the Good News! https://www.teepublic.com/user/bakedandawake By the way, if you have been listening, but perhaps have been lollygagging and haven’t managed to do this yet- PLEASE review us favorably on iTunes or wherever you see a chance to log feedback about the show! It really does help, and is just as sure to put a smile on my face as ordering a T shirt or joining me on Patreon! And now, the News: (Get Safe) California finally opens the biggest legal cannabis market in North America, January 1st 2018. Let’s have a look at the ins and outs of how it will work for californians looking to make their first legal recreational Pot score. http://www.politifact.com/california/article/2018/jan/05/pot-101-facts-you-should-know-about-californias-le/ Only three days after California celebrated legal Pot, Jefferson Beauregard Sessions the fifth, or whatever his name is- rescinded the famous and influential Obama era “Cole Memorandum” which gently but famously advised then President Obama to forego applying any federal funds to pursuing cases against States or Business entities in good standing within States that had moved to implement legal medical or recreational cannabis sales. This announcement on the part of the famously hard line Anti-Drug Lawmaker has many in nascent weed industries feeling suddlenly nervous about the future of their exciting anf profitable new enterprise. One prominent reaction came from the Chairman of Alaska’s Cannabis Board, who resigned specifically and immediately over this change in policy from the Justice Department. Analysis of the threat: WA Cannabis Sales Numbers from 502Data.com Oregon’s Sales in 2017, highlights (85 Million Dollars in 8 months) Colorado Cannabis Sales Figures for 2017 List of States with Medical or Recreational Cannabis Population of WA: 7.2 Million Oregon: 4.1 million, California: 39.2 million The Cannabist agrees with me, in that we both believe this will only pave the way for a meaningful and well funded national campaign to give this issue to the States once and for all. Federal re-sceduling should be next, and the final victory would be the freeing of hundreds of thousands of non violent drug offenders currently serving time for cannabis related crimes. Colorado Lawmakers already making moves to protect Cannabis industry - Time Magazine Stories to Watch: -Will the Governments of the world or Shadowy Globalists engineer a major financial meltdown and then blame it on Crypto currencies? (Before it’s News) -Phones and Computers wide open to Security Vulnerabilities -Alpha Zero Chess AI Bests former champ in just four hours, demonstrating tactics never before seen in the history of the game -FCC moves to re define what Broadband is -Trump to pardon Julian Assange? Pods of the Week: The Rogue Muslim Podcast- Intelligent talk about being Muslim in America today. Such a rare opportunity to sit and feel connected to well spoken and thoughtful Young Muslims who are themselves earnestly seeking meaningful dialogue with fellow members of their faith and non muslims alike. The Come to the Table Podcast Host and Pastor Sean McCoy single handedly rehabilitates modern Evangelical Christianity to a diverse audience at Come to the Table. Race, Gender issues, Spirituality and the challenges of keeping a strong faith in the modern world are all part of the discussion. It’s good stuff, and as I like to point out- even easier than going to church! Unpopular Culture Podcast Brilliant analysis of True Crime stories that you thought you’d heard everything you could know about. Host Michael Drane is a Licensed Psychotherapist with, as he says- a background in forensics. Basically, some version of a profiler, and this podcast is an absolute must listen for fans of true crime pods. Strain of the Week: 9Lb Hammer in a 2.5g Party Pre Roll Joint from Lucky Devil Cannabis, purchased at Urban Bud in Tacoma WA- Thanks Alondra and Crew for the great service as always! Events: If you live in Western WA and wish to join us in person to network and connect with other Cannabis Industry Professionals, join us next Wednesday in the Georgetown neighborhood of Seattle for a monthly gathering of the Cannabis Influencers Northwest. We are the newest and most exciting Cannabis focused group in the region, and big things are afoot for the coming year! You can find us on Meetup.com to RSVP, or gate crash the event on Wednesday evening at 6pm at Counterbalance Brewing . FINALLY: I’ll leave you with one last Holiday minded sentiment: If you’re the “New Year’s Resolution” type, or maybe if you’re not- a suggestion, something to consider trying, perhaps: Set a big huge scary goal for yourself. Start working towards it right away. Tell NO ONE Achieve said Big Huge Scary Goal. Tell NO ONE Profit And as always, I leave you with my possibly annoying tagline- #smokeindicadoshitanyway Royalty Free Music for this episode by Antti’s Instrumentals

Ricardo Baca, Ophelia Chong, David Brown and Jacquie Miller join us from Lift Toronto to tackle media in cannabis..and cannabis in media for that matter. Ricardo takes us through what he experienced in Colorado for the Cannabist, Ophelia touches on what she’s seen in imagery. David shares his Canadian experience. And Jacquie shares her experience coming from the mainstream media into the cannabis industry. We discuss early days and when and how things changed along the way and we return to the conversation that we started with Derek Riedle in the last episode on what the media is, it’s purpose and how to ensure more trust in media from the each end of the general populace.
In Part 2 of our #HashMonth grand finale from the Hitman Coffeeshop, Bobby speaks with the Mr. Cannabis Encyclopedia himself, Ry Prichard.

He and Bobby chat about his landmark HT article “The Origins of Live Resin,” his friendship with Kind Bill, how he became involved with Bong Appetit and his passion for terpenes and all things cannabis-related.
Ricardo Baca is the founding editor of The Cannabist, a site from the _Denver Post _that covers the "marijuana industry like it was the oil industry" and the subject of the documentary _Rolling Papers_. He recently left The Cannabist to found Grasslands, "a content agency for cannabis."

President Obama gave Americans a mission in his final State of the Union address: Find a cure for cancer. It got us wondering about the scientists in Colorado already at work on exactly that, and their outlook. Then, the Denver Post's Ricardo Baca, editor of "The Cannibist," is the subject of a new documentary about the first year of legal recreational marijuana in Colorado. And, when owners of old homes needed to replace old fixtures, they turned to "Architectural Salvage" in Denver. After almost 30 years, it's going out of business. We talk to the owners.
In today’s episode, we talk with the author of The Cannabist, Ricardo Baca, to discuss his passion for journalism and how it led him to the cannabis industry. Baca shares how he initially became a music critic for the Denver Post, and later created the Underground Music Showcase (UMS), an indie music festival in Denver, Colorado. Since then, Baca accepted the Denver Post’s offer in 2013 to be an active voice in the growing cannabis movement, and has continued to grow The Cannabist with budding success. Enjoy!

We speak about the Cannabist Retail Experience with Jesse Channon, Chief Growth Officer of Columbia Care. Columbia Care Unveiled National Retail Experience with Launch of Cannabist, a National Dispensary Network Leveraging Proprietary Technology Platforms to Support the Customer Journey Anytime, Anywhere. We learn about the brand change and the onus to create this national retail experience. The Cannabist retail experience is centered on making shopping for cannabis as simple and approachable as possible. Merchandising set-ups and store layouts have been organized to help customers move through the space with intent and become more comfortable in the process. Additionally, the space is designed to encourage employees and customers to engage in conversations that enhance the shopping experience, whether through product recommendations or general education. To fully realize this goal, all Cannabist staff will undergo extensive training not offered at other dispensaries, ensuring that customer and patient needs can be exceeded. Talk to me about how this differs from the conventional retail models.The first location to launch under the Cannabist brand is the recently opened dispensary in Springville, Utah, followed by Columbia Care locations in Arizona, Illinois, and California, and most recently in Florida will become Cannabist branded retail locations, with a pipeline of more than 80 new and existing locations to follow over the next 24 months
