Podcasts about Canopy

This week on High on Home Grown, we take a look at another collection of cannabis stories from around the UK and beyond, covering everything from neighbours complaining about cannabis smoke to a major cannabis importation case, the continued expansion of the UK medical cannabis market and potential changes to insurance for cannabis businesses. Macky looks at a story from Wales Online about a neighbour smoking cannabis and what someone can actually do if cannabis smoke is affecting their home. We look at the legal position surrounding nuisance, what options residents may have and where the line sits between someone's cannabis use and it becoming a problem for their neighbours. My neighbour is smoking cannabis - lawyer explains what to do about it | Wales Online Smee covers a major UK drugs case involving gang members jailed over a plot to import cannabis worth an estimated £13.8 million into the UK. We discuss the scale of the alleged operation, the court case and the sentences handed down. Gang members jailed over plot to import cannabis worth £13.8m into UK | LBC Billy looks at the continued development of the UK's medical cannabis industry, with Canopy Growth entering the UK medical cannabis market through a new distribution deal. We discuss what the move could mean for the growing medical cannabis sector and the companies looking to establish themselves in the UK. Canopy enters UK medical cannabis market with distribution deal | MJBizDaily John brings us a story from the United States looking at proposed legislation that could make it easier for cannabis businesses to obtain insurance coverage. We discuss why insurance remains such a complicated issue for the cannabis industry and what changes to the rules could mean for businesses operating legally within the sector. New Rules: This bill could help cannabis companies finally get insurance coverage | Tucson Weekly And Dr. Margaret looks at a new study examining the potential health effects of cannabis edibles compared with smoking cannabis. The study has generated headlines around whether edibles should automatically be considered a safer alternative, so we take a closer look at what the research actually found and what it does, and doesn't, tell us. New Study Finds Weed Edibles Aren't Safer Than Smoking | Men's Journal As always, we break down the stories, discuss the wider implications and give our thoughts on what's happening across the cannabis world.

Episode SummaryBlackbird partner Tom has spent the last decade obsessing over one thing: why Australia talks about innovation from a place of doubt, while the US talks about it from a place of opportunity.From buying BHP as a kid through his parents, to operating at Canopy before it was acquired, to spending most of the 2010s investing out of Colorado and now back in Australia at Blackbird, Tom has seen both sides of the talent arbitrage.In this episode of First Cheque, Tom joins Maxine and Cheryl to share why 8 percent of all AI experts in Asia-Pac are based in Australia, why we have more AI PhDs than any other country in the world and why no one is celebrating it, and what it really means that 88 percent of our PhD students are immigrated talent. They also dive deep into why commercialization is still broken, how Foundry and Baker Street are trying to fix the bridge from lab to seed, and why product-led growth is not dead — it just changed.Tom also reflects on the boomerang effect, the R and D tax credit as Australia's secret weapon, and why the next decade of Australian companies will be built with a base in Australia and a base on the West Coast.Time Stamps00:00:00 - Intro: Doubt versus opportunity00:01:12 - Hey, I'm Cheryl.

Fall Feast Guide: https://curtlandry.com/fallfeastbookIn this episode of the Curt Landry Podcast, Rabbi Curt and Pastor Michael discuss the final Fall Feast, Sukkot, and how this 7-day period invites us to dwell in God's presence, reflecting on His protection and provision.Sukkot, also known as the Feast of Tabernacles, provides a tangible picture of tabernacling with God through the sukkah: a temporary structure that models the dwellings the Israelites lived in during their journey in the wilderness. These temporary dwelling places emphasized Israel's vulnerability in the wild, fully dependent on God for protection and provision. This appointed time invites Believers to reflect on God's faithful provision and presence, and to look forward to the joy to come when Jesus returns to rule, reign, and dwell with His people forever (Zechariah 14:16–19). Join Rabbi and Pastor Michael as they unpack the symbolism of Hebrew Year 5787, the banquet story the three Fall Feasts tell together, and the significance of coming under God's canopy of glory this Sukkot. #ChristianPodcast #CurtLandryPodcast #BiblicalWisdom #Sukkot #5787 #BiblicalTeaching #JewishRoots

On this episode of the Woodard Report podcast, Joe and Heather talk about the latest developments in accounting technology, including Accrual's acquisition of Puzzle and the growing convergence of tax and CAS services. They also explore how AI is reshaping professional education and the need to develop and test real-world skills, while discussing AI governance, empathy, the concept of "reverse centaurs," and why accounting professionals must learn to use AI as a tool rather than become tools for AI.

Celebrity weed brands keep dying and LMC has a theory about the room where those deals get made.Everyone at that table is incentivized for the deal to close. Nobody gets paid to say no. So even when someone in there knows cannabis works nothing like liquor licensing, there's no reason for them to speak up.He walks through why the ones that survive all have the same thing in common: they live it. Wiz with Khalifa Kush. Method Man out there in the story feeds gifting boxes. TCA reps working events. Compare that to Jay-Z and Monogram, where the D'Ussé playbook got copied into an industry that doesn't work that way.Then the Drake and Canopy Growth story. LMC interviewed Bruce Linton, Canopy's founder, who told him the deal was a promo vehicle. Canadian rules block direct brand advertising, but you can advertise through news, so every press release about Drake was the actual product. He doesn't think they ever seriously intended to launch a brand.Plus why running a cannabis company like a tech company doesn't work, and his actual advice if a celebrity asked him how to enter the space.Want the stuff we can't put on YouTube?

Cheese gets called “simple food” right up until you hear what actually goes into making it. We start with a bit of real life under the canopy, from sore muscles and gravel work to staying sharp outdoors after close calls with coyotes. Then we pivot into a full-on, listener-friendly breakdown of artisan cheese, because there's a lot more happening in that wedge than most of us realise. Haley from Ontario Cheese Union joins us to talk about Ontario farmstead cheese and the makers behind it, including cow, goat, sheep, and even water buffalo milk. We dig into what water buffalo milk changes nutritionally and practically (including protein and cholesterol questions), and we walk step-by-step through the cheese making process: starter cultures, rennet, curds and whey, draining, moulding, pressing, and the little technical choices that turn the same ingredient into mozzarella, gouda, or cheddar. We also get into the wild world of blue cheese and why it often needs its own space, how aging works as moisture reduction that intensifies flavour, and why some aged cheeses can be easier on lactose-intolerant eaters. We don't dodge the uncomfortable stuff either: processed cheese, additives, shelf life, and what “consistent” flavour can cost. If you love food, cooking, and outdoor living, this one is packed with practical cheese tips you can use at your next farmers market. Subscribe so you don't miss the next conversation, share this with a fellow cheese lover, and leave a review with your most controversial cheese take.

On today’s “Closer Look with Rose Scott,” we catch up with NPR Congressional Reporter and WABE alum Sam Gringlas. He’s currently following Democratic Incumbent Jon Ossoff and his effort to reclaim his U.S. Senate seat this November. Polling data currently has Ossoff leading his Republican opponent, Mike Collins, but there are still several miles on the campaign trail until the midterm election. Gringlas shares his firsthand look at how voters are reacting during Senator Ossoff’s campaign stops. Atlanta is widely known as the city in a forest, but that forest is depleting. Of the city’s more than 84,000 acres, almost 40,000 acres are covered by its tree canopy. However, that latest assessment by Georgia Tech shows Atlanta has lost a quarter of an acre of trees every day between 2008 and 2023. The city had a goal of reaching 50% canopy coverage, but Atlanta moved further away from that goal in the latest assessment, now dropping to 45.7% tree coverage. Officials from Trees Atlanta and Georgia Tech provide more details on the data, and what’s leading to the disappearing canopy. With the concern of mainstream AI systems disseminating misinformation, a new artificial intelligence platform is promising to provide accurate information. AiSHA pulls its information from Black History, culture, and trusted journalism sources to avoid biases.

His film tells the story of McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint, Brooklyn - one of New York's most dangerous streets, expanded under city planner Robert Moses in the 1950s into a highway-like, four-lane route cutting straight through a residential neighborhood. Over 70 years, an estimated 200 people died there. The turning point came in 2021 with the death of elementary school teacher Matthew Jensen, struck by a car on his own birthday - the spark for a three-year community movement that Ben followed with his camera. He shot almost the entire film alone, with gear that fits on a bike. He told me: "I wanted to test whether it's really possible to make a documentary without using a car at all." https://player.vimeo.com/video/1115240983? Kurze Werbung in eigener Sache: Vom 26. bis 29. September nehme ich wieder eine kleine Gruppe mit auf eine Learn&Travel-Delegation, diesmal nach Graubünden. Wir schauen uns dort live an, wie Verkehrswende in der Praxis funktioniert - vom Fahrrad bis zur Bahn, von Entsiegelung bis autonomem Fahren, von Co-Working auf dem Land bis zu erfolgreichen, weil datenbasierten Infrastrukturprojekten und Frauen als vernachlässigter Kunden*innengruppe in der Mobilität.

We talked about the political dysfunction behind the street redesign - Ben draws parallels to Robert Caro's book "The Power Broker" about Moses and says: " Corruption is almost a defining feature of politics in New York." He described to me how opponents of the redesign worked with false claims, for instance that narrower lanes would block emergency vehicles, and we put that in historical context: the transformative era of transportation planner Janette Sadik-Khan under Mayor Bloomberg, followed by years of purely reactive "band-aid politics" - up to today, where Ben sees new hope in New York's mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani. Again and again we came back to the core of his conviction: "Cars are anti-urban. They make public space unpleasant and destroy social interaction - they isolate you instead of bringing you together with others." And: only about 20 percent of residents along McGuinness Boulevard even own a car - reserving the street for them, he says, is "not a democratic solution." Despite all the accounts of political dysfunction, I ended the conversation feeling hopeful. Ben's central message, the one that stuck with me: if you can actually make a difference on a small, local problem, do exactly that "find something where you can actually make a real difference." His film "Changing Lanes" is currently available via Amazon and Canopy in the US, with European distribution in preparation. If you like this episode: Spread it and charge me a coffee

Summary To make way for double 30-foot, steel border walls in Lochiel, Arizona, federal contractors have clearcut a grove of three 200-year-old Fremont cottonwood trees that reached their boughs across the U.S.-Mexico border in a sign of connectivity, friendship, and anchoring the headwaters of the Santa Cruz River. On the heels of this destruction, grassroots […] Read full article: Episode 180: Activists Take to the Canopy to Defend Centuries-old Cottonwood, Cats, and Connectivity

Randy Crabtree sits down with Luke Frye, who's gone from hand-stamping journal entries as a small-town government accountant to scaling Bench to thousands of customers, running his own firm through a messy business divorce, and now advising practices at Canopy. Their conversation on Episode 280 of The Unique CPA keeps circling back to a single, uncomfortable question: What actually makes a firm valuable, as opposed to just busy? Luke argues that key man risk, not revenue, is the real threat to most practices, and that hourly billing quietly rewards inefficiency while punishing the AI tools meant to help. He pushes clients to charge what they're worth instead of discounting out of fear, and to build systems, like a real CRM, that let a firm run without its owner chained to it. Randy's own transition out of the company he built nineteen years ago and into advisory adds real-world weight to the discussion. It's a candid look at pricing, succession, and the mindset shifts firm owners tend to avoid until it's too late. Get the full show notes and more resources at TheUniqueCPA.com

Welcome to Day 2895 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2895 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 139:7-12 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2895 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day two thousand eight hundred ninety-five of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: Shivering in the Omnipresence – No Hiding Places in Cosmic Geography In our previous expedition along this ancient, sacred trail, we stepped into the breathtaking opening movement of Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Nine, verses one through six. We explored the terrifying, yet deeply comforting reality of God's absolute omniscience. We learned that the Creator has meticulously mined the deepest shafts of our hearts, intimately tracking our sitting down, and our standing up. We marveled at how He has hemmed us in, constructing a protective, supernatural perimeter around our vulnerabilities, and resting His hand of covenant blessing firmly upon our heads. We experienced a beautiful sense of spiritual vertigo, realizing that the infinite intelligence of our King completely surpasses our human comprehension. Today, my friends, we take our next deliberate, awe-inspiring steps up the mountain pass. We are continuing our exploration of this magnificent psalm, focusing our attention on Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Nine, verses seven through twelve, in the New Living Translation. If the first six verses established that God knows everything about us, this next stanza reveals why that is a cosmic necessity. We are moving from the infinite depth of the divine mind, to the infinite width of the divine presence. David is going to take us on a rapid, macro-cosmic tour across the vertical and horizontal axes of reality, demonstrating that there is absolutely no hiding place in all of cosmic geography. Let us step onto the trail, and discover the beautiful impossibility of escaping the Sovereign King. The first segment is: The Vertical Axis: Piercing the Realms of Heaven and Sheol Let us listen to the opening lines of this cosmic pursuit, as recorded in verse seven and verse eight. I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence! If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there. In these grouped, contiguous thoughts, David confronts a reality that completely upends the ancient world's understanding of space and spiritual authority. He cries out, “I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!” To fully grasp the radical, polemical nature of verse seven and verse eight, we must view them through the brilliant lens of the Ancient Israelite divine-council worldview. In the ancient Near East, the surrounding pagan nations operated under a strict system of cosmic geography. They believed that the spiritual realm was deeply fragmented, carved up into competitive, localized jurisdictions controlled by different, territorial elohim—the rebel sons of God who were assigned to the nations after the Tower of Babel. If you were in Egypt, you were under the eye of Ra and Osiris; if you crossed over into Canaan, you were in the domain of Baal and Asherah. Furthermore, these gods were vertically limited. Baal was the lord of the high skies, but he had no power in the underworld. Mot was the terrifying king of the grave, ruling the domain of death where the living gods could not interfere. The pagan world assumed that if you traveled far enough, or if you descended into the darkness of death, you could successfully escape the gaze of a specific national deity. But David stands as a theological revolutionary, and he completely demolishes this fragmented, pagan worldview. He looks at the vertical axis of the cosmos and declares, “If I go up to heaven, you are there; if I go down to the grave, you are there.” Think about the absolute totality of this claim. “Heaven”—the Shamayim—represented the supreme, radiant assembly room of the divine council, the very zenith of cosmic light and order. If David climbs to the highest spiritual heights, Yahweh is effortlessly enthroned there, presiding over the loyal heavenly host. But then David flips the map completely, looking into the pitch-black abyss of the “grave”—or Sheol, the underworld. In pagan thought, Sheol was a garbage dump of forgotten souls, a territory completely isolated from the gods of life. Yet David declares that if he makes his bed in the deep recesses of the underworld, he will open his eyes and find Yahweh standing right there next to him! There is no independent dark zone, and no demonic underworld, that can construct a legal barrier to lock the Creator out. Yahweh's jurisdiction is absolute, unmediated, and completely seamless from the highest celestial throne, to the deepest subterranean tomb. The rebel principalities of death have no private closets where they can hide from the King of Glory. The second segment is: The Horizontal Axis: Overruling the Farthest Horizons Having mapped the vertical dimensions of reality, the psalmist turns his attention to the horizontal limits of the earth, combining his logical thoughts in verse nine and verse ten. If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me. David paints a breathtaking, cinematic visual of rapid, long-distance transit across the globe: “If I ride the wings of the morning, if I dwell by the farthest oceans, even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.” In the poetic vocabulary of ancient Israel, the “wings of the morning” referred to the first, blinding rays of the dawning sun, leaping up over the eastern horizon at the speed of light. Conversely, the “farthest oceans” referred to the western horizon, the deep, unpredictable, and highly dangerous waters of the Mediterranean Sea and whatever lay beyond. David is mapping out an extreme, east-to-west trajectory. He is saying, “What if I could capture a sunbeam in the east, fly across the entire planet in a fraction of a second, and drop myself down into the most remote, uncharted wilderness of the western sea?” In the ancient mind, traveling to the farthest oceans meant crossing the boundary lines into disinherited pagan lands, crossing into territories heavily fortified by the rebel spirits of the nations. It was the ultimate frontier of chaos. In Canaanite mythology, the deep sea was the personal playground of Yamm, the god of primordial chaos and liquid destruction. A traveler who ventured into the far oceans expected to find themselves completely abandoned, left to the cruel whims of foreign elements and hostile deities. But notice the beautiful, protective reality that intercepts David in verse ten: “even there your hand will guide me, and your strength will support me.” The phrase “even there” is a thunderous declaration of cosmic ownership. There are no blank spots on Yahweh's map. There are no international waters where His sovereignty doesn't apply. You can travel to the most distant, unchurched, and spiritually dark coordinate on the globe, and you will not find an empty space. Instead, you will find that the personal, loving hand of your Creator has already beaten you there! He doesn't just watch you from a celestial distance; His hand is actively present to guide your steps, and His raw, warrior strength is right beside you to support your weariness. The rebel principalities have no exclusive legal zones where they can isolate a child of God from the perimeter defense of the Almighty. The horizontal limits of the earth are merely a carpet unrolled beneath the feet of the King. The third segment is: The Spiritual Shroud: Dismantling the Canopy of Darkness The narrative moves from the physical limitations of space, to the psychological and spiritual attempt to find a hiding place under the shroud of darkness. The psalmist groups these contiguous thoughts in verse eleven and verse twelve. I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night— but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you. David explores a deeply human, and highly desperate temptation: “I could ask the darkness to hide me and the light around me to become night—but even in darkness I cannot hide from you. To you the night shines as bright as day. Darkness and light are the same to you.”...
