We've had other guests on in the past who have unveiled never-before-heard history of the herb, but nothing comes close to the secrets revealed in this episode.Blackleaf finally hunted down the elusive Todd McCormick, an American activist, childhood cancer survivor, author, and medical herb patient for a once-in-a-lifetime conversation. Todd has a laundry list of achievements and sightings in pop culture dating back to the late 80s. More recently, he's been an ongoing judge at the yearly Emerald Cup in NorCal and was one of the winners of the Cannabis Culture Award in 2012. You may have also seen him speak on screen during the 2007 documentary, The Union: The Business Behind Getting High.There are no stones left unturned in this episode, as Todd recalls his famous 1997 arrest where he was caught with over 2,100 plants at a Bel-Air mansion and never snitching on any of his constituents, subsequently serving a 5-year sentence as a result, and getting bailed out by DJ Pooh and Boondocks creator, Aaron McGruder. You'll also hear about the famous Playboy Mansion parties that he used to attend as well as host in the name of herbal activism.It's impossible to stuff all of the insane stories Todd tells into one description, as well as all of the celebrities that he's befriended over the years. But, some names that will come up along the way include his close friends Hugh Hefner, Bill Maher, Dave Matthews, Tommy Chong, Mel Frank, Andy Dick, Joe Rogan, and so many more. You'll even get to hear the legends of Skunk strain creator Skunkman Sam and Northern Lights strain creator, Seattle Greg.In the realm of valuable knowledge, Todd riffs gems left and right throughout this pod. He weighs in on the global expansion of herb, its origins in Afghanistan and the Greater Middle East, how to perfectly pop a seed, why classic strains are dying out, and the origin of the war on drugs via the alcohol industry.Take your time to really go through this episode and soak up all of the crazy stories and wisdom from the unsung hero of herb, Todd McCormick, who's been growing for over 40 years and sharing their mission of normalizing herbal consumption at places like Woodstock ‘99, where he wound up giving a 40-minute opening speech.Find all of Todd's current genetic work showcased through his brand, Authentic Genetics Seed Company, agseedsco.com.Subscribe to our channel and the FSOTD.com site to keep up with other key players and enjoy conversations with tastemakers from the culture you can't find anywhere else.

This is just one of those episodes. If you love weed, whether you're in the industry or just a fan, you can't miss a second of this extended conversation with one of the real harbingers of the culture and preservers of the plant.Blackleaf is joined by the mythological man behind the curtain of cannabis, Kevin Jodrey @kevinjodrey, creator of Port Royal, owner of Wonderland Nursery, and co-founder of The Ganjier.Sit down and strap in for a longer episode that doesn't skip a beat on moments of invaluable game-dropping, never-before-heard strain lore, run-ins with law enforcement, traveling the world for weed, certifying Ganjiers, and so much more. If you've ever wondered where the birth of high-CBD strains began or what herb looks like in the wild countryside of Afghanistan while hunting genetics with Landrace Mafia, you'll be on the edge of your seat for this entire chaotic ride.Kevin Jodrey is hands-down one of the most well-known and respected growers out of Humboldt County. He's also an internationally respected expert on the plant, accredited for improving and forwarding the modern cannabis movement. On top if it all, he's spoken at a slew of universities, judged the Emerald Cup multiple times, and appeared on National Geographic and A&E to speak on cannabis education.You'll hear Blackleaf ask countless questions on every smoker's mind, and Kevin candidly weighs in on topics such as the THCa wave, nicotine addictions fueling the candy wave currently sweeping the industry, how the average grower can preserve their genetics, why tissue culture isn't always done right, and the fact that real Sour may be gone forever.Kevin was literally at the epicenter of the “Green Rush” with seemingly uneding stories he riffs on from Humboldt back in the day throughout this incredibly special episode of the pod. Today, he's at the forefront of the “Clean Rush” aka the sustainable movement of regenerating land naturally through cannabis cultivation…among countless other projects that span the globe.It's hard to concisely put into words all of the crazy insight, free game, jaw-dropping stories of hunting genetics and fighting law enforement, as well as genuine life and relationship advice that you can absorb from this episode. So, simply put—light one up, kick back, and lock in.Subscribe to our channel and the FSOTD.com site to keep up with other key players and enjoy conversations with tastemakers from the culture you can't find anywhere else.

With both Franklins on assignment, cannabis comic Ngaio Bealum and Instagram movie reviewer Ajax Green (@leonard_malted) join us for an exploration of voyeurism in film. First, we've got the ultimate voyeuristic spectacle with Alfred Hitchcock's masterpiece REAR WINDOW (1954), the first work from the Master of Suspense we've featured on this show, and we've only been at it for nearly three years now. What is up with that??? Jimmy Stewart J.B. "Jeff" Jeffries, a news photographer whose broken leg has left him nothing to do but stare out the back window of his Greenwich Village apartment into all the apartments of his neighbors. He gets so obsessed by the idea that one of these neighbors, Lars Thorwald (Raymond Burr) murdered his wife, that Jeff won't even make out with his way-too-young fashionista girlfriend, Lisa Fremont (Grade Kelly), vexing Ajax to no end. Fortunately for Jeff and Lisa's relationship, she cannot resist the pull of true crime, and soon becomes just as obsessed with her man's suspicions as he is. With immaculate wardrobe by Edith Head and a whole New York block recreated on a Paramount soundstage. Possibly the greatest film from the greatest director. REAR WINDOW is part of Criterion Channel's "Photographer's Gaze" series. For our second feature, we go all the way to Egypt for director Youssef Chahine's CAIRO STATION (1958) where the director plays Qinawi, a handicapped newspaper vendor who becomes obsessed with Hanuma (Hind Rustum--the Marilyn Monroe of the Middle East), a voluptuous beauty who makes her living by selling cold soft drinks to thirsty travelers without a permit. After being rejected by Hanuma, Qinawi soon takes inspiration from sensationalist news stories telling of a serial killer who chops up women and leaves their remains in trunks. Reviled by Egyptian audiences and critics when it was originally released but now considered a classic, it is filmed in a neorealist style that captures the sweat and dust of the Cairo Station of its time. Also look out for a surprise rockin' musical number. CAIRO STATION is part of Criterion Channel's Youssef Chahine series. We should've titled this episode "MALE GAZE" because Bob goes into way too much detail about Grace Kelly's sex life, Ngaio talks about his love of titties in movies, and Ajax wishes these films had higher body counts. It's a good thing we're doing FEMINIST WESTERNS for our next episode. Ajax, Ngaio, Cory and Bob also discuss the MEGALOPOLIS AI critic quote debacle, and Ngaio gives us an EMERALD CUP update. You can find Ajax on Insta @leonard_malted. You can find Ngaio on X, Insta, and probably every where else at ngaio420. Hosts: Cory Sklar and Bob Calhoun Philena Franklin and her dad Greg are on assignment.

It's done in a lab, It's done with hormones, mixtures. It's a sterile environment. And through this process, you can actually turn back the clock.

— In her groundbreaking book, Ganja Yoga — Dee Dussault, a yoga instructor, brings cannabis-enhanced yoga to North America for the first time. It has been millennia since yogis have used cannabis to enhance their spiritual practices. Cannabis' potential role for modern seekers pursuing a spiritual path is generating quiet but growing discussion within the Western yoga community. Taking this ancient practice mainstream, Dee Dussault is a certified yoga instructor. Rather than combining cannabis with exercise, Ganja Yoga is a ceremony that makes conscious relaxation an intentional ritual you can develop with practice - a way to live more harmoniously and stress-free. The use of marijuana during yoga practice can enhance awareness, acceptance, connectivity, and relaxation for some practitioners. The stigma surrounding marijuana dissipates as state laws loosen and marijuana is increasingly viewed as a legitimate supplement for increased wellbeing and health. Her book, Ganja Yoga explains how to set up a sacred space that will enable you to stretch and meditate while using this relaxing substance. It's the exploration of how cannabis can be incorporated into yoga and smoking practices, and what considerations you need to make when introducing cannabis into your practice. Dee says: “It's more like adding spice to your food than getting stoned out of your mind.” Valeria interviews Dee Dussault — She is the author of “Ganja Yoga: A Practical Guide to Conscious Relaxation, Soothing Pain Relief, and Enlightened Self-Discovery.” Dee Dussault is the best-selling author of Ganja Yoga and internationally-recognized pioneer of the cannabis-wellness movement. Thirteen years ago, Dee became the first person to offer public enhanced-yoga classes, and four years ago she authored the HarperCollins book with the same title, gaining her features in publications like The New York Times, Business Insider, and The Wall Street Journal. Ganja Yoga has been taught to thousands of students in over twenty US cities, and hundreds of people from around the world have taken the Ganja Yoga Teacher Training. It's been at MAPS' 'Psychedelic Science Conference,' and at SF State University, Emerald Cup, and The Plant Spirit Medicine Conference. To make things even more fun, Dee is also a sensuality coach, trained in tantra yoga, with a private partner yoga and intimacy practice in Berkeley, California. To learn more about Dee Dussault and her work, please visit: ganjayoga.com and deedussault.com - Dee is also on Instagram: @ganjayoga — This podcast is a quest for well-being, a quest for a meaningful life through the exploration of fundamental truths, enlightening ideas, insights on physical, mental, and spiritual health. The inspiration is Love. The aspiration is to awaken new ways of thinking that can lead us to a new way of being, being well.

Today we are talking to Guy, the CEO of Papa & Barkley, a company known for their RELEAF balms and oils, best used for pain relief and joint care, but also tincture, edibles, all in the name of Whole Plant and Full Spectrum. He's swept Emerald Cups, but you wouldn't know it by how grounded Guy is. Guy has been in the weed industry for a minute and has full credentials to support – but one of the things that really stood out to me was how he came to the party without an EGO. He went from being a cannabis advocate – I would though, still call him an advocate, to working to provide standardized and, well, really great product, so that people could experience cannabis in a positive way, the way it was intended to be enjoyed. He thinks that developing your cannabis palette not only helps you find a tailored regimen, but also, we owe it to the plant! I cant tell you how much I really enjoyed speaking with him and hearing about his experiences, and how they have helped to shape Papa & Barkley into what they are today. Back to P&B Kitchen one of the three brands under the P&B umbrella–Guy is the CEO for Papa and Barkley and has been on the team since the brand started. He is at the forefront, along with the Chocolatier and Gummy Artisan, Jonah and Lindsay, in launching their two new products…. Dun dun dun…. Chocolate bars and gummies! Let's tune in and find out more! KEEP blazing and stay AMAZING!
The Emerald Cup began in 2003 as an underground locals-only harvest celebration among outdoor organic cannabis growers in Northern California's famed Emerald Triangle. They kept the first-ever contest a secret from the sheriff by pretending it was a birthday party. Today, the Emerald Cup is the world's most prestigious cannabis competition, drawing 30,000+ pot-lovers to a "state fair for weed" complete with its own awards show. And this year Abdullah and Bean both participated in the judging process! So roll one up and settle in for an incredible ride. Along the way you'll learn how to judge cannabis for yourself (without becoming judgmental),, discover some of the best flower, concentrates, edibles, topicals, tinctures and weed drinks on the market, and get inspired to host your own weed cup at home! Episode also includes a special appearance from Woody Harrelson, some serious terp-talk thanks to SC Labs, and a big shout out to Emerald Cup impresarios Tim and Taylor Blake.
