Podcasts about intoxicating

This week on the Industrial Hemp Podcast, we talk to Patrick Atagi, president and CEO of the National Industrial Hemp Council, the organization that's hosting the Seed to Style hemp fiber summit in conjunction with the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, Sept. 16-18. This event is a continuation of the conversations NIHC facilitated in Raleigh, N.C., last summer when they held their fiber summit at N.C. State's Wilson College of Textiles. But this year, the stakes are a little higher and the energy burns a little brighter. Because that's what New York City does: It amplifies everything. "It's building materials, it's clothing — the different parts and pieces of hemp all together, making it all work together. And the culmination is a fashion exhibit," Atagi said. The fashion exhibit caps the summit on Thursday evening — hemp coming off the field and onto the mannequin, the "seed to style" idea made real. Also, one big nugget of hemp news this week: Congress has hit the snooze button on the McConnell deadline that threatens to shut down the vast majority of the cannabinoid hemp industry. Intoxicating hemp products are still out, but the industry has an extra month to fight for its future. The clock is still ticking, but now the alarm is set for Dec. 11, 2026.

Intoxicating Whispers are those thoughts that sound good enough to follow, but dangerous enough to destroy you. The market teaches you that noise gets loud when emotions get high. Everybody got a Hot Tip, a prediction, a shortcut promising quick money. But disciplined investors don't move off whispers, they move off conviction, fundamentals, and strategy. Life works the same way. Everything speaking to you ain't sent by GOD. Some voices feed your ego while starving your purpose. Some opportunities look profitable but cost you peace. That's why discernment is wealth. Learn to recognize the difference between what excites you and what aligns you, because sometimes the most expensive decision you'll ever make starts with a whisper that sounded too good to ignore.Join our Exclusive Patreon!!!

This is Part III in the Intoxicating Substances Follow-Up series, where our panelists sit down to answer the questions people are asking about weight-loss drugs, psychedelics, and more. This episode goes from the ethics of Ozempic to why mushrooms might counterfeit real spiritual experience, from the surprising science linking alcohol and dementia to one host's own confession about an eating disorder. It's a conversation that speaks honestly about genetics, agency, addiction, and what the Bible actually says about wine.

A new law puts rules on what had been an unregulated product.

On CSP's “At Your Convenience” podcast, recorded at the inaugural CSP Cannabis Forum, Scott Estrella from Majors Management, LLC and Blake Patterson from Keef Brands discussed how hemp beverages are successfully launching in the convenience channel, revealing strong consumer demand and strategic merchandising approaches that are reshaping the category.They discuss their partnership model, which focuses on retail fundamentals rather than reinventing strategies. For example, Estrella plans to integrate hemp beverages directly into beer cooler space, believing "it belongs in the beer space" rather than separate coolers, making the category more accessible to mainstream consumers.Both stressed the importance of proper distribution channels and consumer education, particularly as federal regulations threaten the hemp beverage market's future accessibility.Listen to the full conversation on the “At Your Convenience” podcast and subscribe for more insights on cannabis, regulations and the future of convenience retail.

This lecture explores how Christians can think wisely about intoxicating and habit-forming substances—including alcohol, marijuana, nicotine, and GLP-1 weight loss drugs. Drawing on a scriptural framework and grounded in medical research, physician Bill and counselor Jill walk through a practical discernment process: examining cultural assumptions, weighing the evidence, and asking honest questions about what need a substance is really serving. The core conviction is that substances offer immediate relief from pain, but they don't produce lasting healing or resilience. Rather than landing on simple rules, this conversation invites listeners toward self-examination and the deeper work of addressing what's underneath the reach for relief.   Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.

Ohio law sees backlash from business owners As THC and CBD-infused drinks grow in popularity, especially among people looking for alternatives to alcohol, Ohio's new law restricting hemp-derived products is changing how and where those beverages can be sold. After voters approved recreational cannabis use in 2023, a number of small businesses across the state began selling THC drinks, with some seeing demand rival traditional beer and wine. Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we'll discuss Senate Bill 56, signed in December and enacted in March, which makes selling hemp products like these illegal. At first, the law included a provision allowing THC beverages to continue being sold by breweries and retailers for a limited time. But Governor Mike DeWine used a line-item veto to remove that carveout, saying it could create confusion around how the products are regulated. The change has prompted legal challenges and created uncertainty for businesses that invested in the drinks, with some pulling products, cutting staff, shifting operations out of state or closing completely. And with a similar federal law set to take effect in November, the future of hemp products—and the businesses built around them—remains uncertain. Guests:- Brent Zimmerman, Founder and CEO, Saucy Brew Works- Steven Pauwels, Co-CEO, Great Lakes Brewing Company- Sarah Donaldson, Reporter/Producer, Statehouse News Bureau- Nick Marie, Owner, Buddy's Bud Co. How racial discrimination shapes the mental and physical health of youth of color Studies from the Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry show that 90% of youth of color report encountering racial discrimination in their lifetime. Its impacts can shape their mental and physical health outcomes, but many families have found ways to help their children navigate those experiences by talking more openly about vulnerable topics and going to therapy. But experts say there are still gaps between how those conversations happen at home and how they are supported in clinical settings. A local lecture presented by the Case Western Reserve University Schubert Center for Child Studies will explore how families, providers and even new technologies can play a role in helping young people cope with race-related stress, and what more can be done to support their mental health. Later in the show, we'll get a preview of that conversation from this year's Kessler Freedheim Lecture speaker, Riana Elyse Anderson. Joining her for the conversation is Habeebah Rasheed Grimes, an expert in trauma-informed care and culturally responsive leadership. The two will be at the Tinkham Veale University Center Tuesday from noon to 1:30 pm. Register for the event at case.edu/schubertcenter. Guests:- Riana Elyse Anderson, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Columbia University, School of Social Work- Habeebah Rasheed Grimes, Founder/Principal Consultant, Habeebah Rasheed Grimes LLC

A college student, a youth leader, and a high school senior sit down with their Next Gen pastor to share unfiltered stories of drug addiction, recovery, and faith. Each story traces a different path into substance abuse and a different moment where God broke through. Together they explore why people turn to drugs in the first place — peer pressure, trauma, grief, anxiety, the need to escape — and make the case that understanding those root needs is the key to both personal recovery and ministering well to others. This isn't a clean after-school-special take on drugs; it's an honest conversation about how hard the battle really is, and why community, accountability, and faith are the only things that actually get people to shore.   Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.

Next up in the our series about Biblical views on intoxicating substances–Pastor Nic and Jill with Oaks were joined by two of our elders, Monte and Bill, as they had a follow-up discussion from the first lecture in the Intoxicating Substances series. Here, they answer some of the questions that you had from the first lecture, and this is a great opportunity to refresh your memory on the topic before going into the next lecture this Sunday. The goal of this series is to give hearers the information they need to make prudent and obedient decisions about substances that cause intoxication in ways that conform to being Christ's disciple, bringing glory to God, loving those in the church, and offering a compelling witness to the world.   Engage & Equip is a resource designed to help form substantive disciples for the local church.

This week on the Hemp Podcast, we have a long conversation about hemp-derived intoxicating cannabinoids with Chris Fontes, president of the U.S. Hemp Authority and founder of Trojan Horse Cannabis and High Spirits Beverages. Trojan Horse Cannabis was the first company to bring so-called intoxicating hemp derivatives to market, changing the hemp space forever. For decades, hemp advocates said hemp was different from marijuana because hemp couldn't get you high. But the 2018 Farm Bill created the perfect conditions for the birth of a whole new chapter in the story of hemp. Fontes said when he read the hemp language in the 2018 Farm Bill, "My first thought was: We have uncontrolled THC. There is now a version of THC that is not controlled. Something could be done with this." THC is the chemical compound produced in the cannabis flower known for its psychoactive properties. Applying basic principles of math, Fontes realized that this legal THC "can be put into a product at a 10 milligram standard dose and could be shipped through the mail to anyone in the country at the time as there was no state by state blocking and interstate transport was explicitly protected," he said. Thus, the intoxicating hemp-derived cannabinoid market was born. And that's where this conversation gets interesting. This isn't your typical fiber and grain hemp discussion. But if you want to understand why lawmakers are reacting, why definitions are shifting, and why the word hemp feels contested right now — you have to understand where this market came from. That's what we have in store for you in this episode. Enjoy.

High Rise Beverage co-founder Matt Skinner has built a coastal-themed brand in the Southeast but his ambitions extend across the nation.    The Charleston, South Carolina-headquartered intoxicating hemp beverage brand is now available in 22 states, and Skinner sees an opportunity to go even bigger.   "We're in the space of being a nationwide brand at this point," he says on the latest edition of the Brewbound Podcast, recorded in October at the National Beer Wholesalers Association's Annual Convention in Las Vegas.    "Having those partnerships and getting in with the right distributors now is important. They're finding who they feel like their horses are in the category, and I think we are aligning across the country with that. But the Southeast is very important to us."     Skinner shares his strategy of building the brand in bars and restaurants and why his pitch to those retailers was bigger than his brand. He also explains how High Rise came to be partners with Sony Music in Nashville, which flavors are resonating with consumers and why Target's adoption of intoxicating hemp products "puts all eyes on the category."   Before the interview, Justin and Zoe discuss the latest news, such as New Belgium's packed new product slate for 2026, including new Voodoo Ranger IPAs and a canned cocktail offshoot, as well as Molson Coors' tough Q3 earnings report.

Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine's executive order has been paused by a temporary restraining order.

Gov. Mike DeWine took executive action this week to temporarily ban the sale of "intoxicating hemp" products in the state. DeWine said the products represent a consumer product emergency. The order bans the sale of unregulated products that contain THC derived from hemp including candies and drinks. THC is the psychoactive compound found in the cannabis family of plants. DeWine's executive order is for 90 days. We will begin the “Sound of Ideas Reporters Roundtable” with the governor's executive action. The Ohio House this week passed -- with some support from Democrats -- two bills that proponents say will give property owners some tax relief. The two bills, which the Senate now takes up, make changes to how property taxes are determined and how schools and other local entities collect the money raised from levies. Eleven protesters have paid nearly $400,000 in restitution in a pretrial diversion program that, if all stipulations are met, will null charges they incurred while protesting the war in Gaza at Case Western Reserve University last year. The protesters, ages 20 to 25, splashed red paint on buildings and sidewalks. They were charged with breaking and entering, possessing criminal tools and vandalism. They spoke publicly last weekend, saying the university is making an example of them in order to quash pro-Palestinian protests. Early voting is underway for the November election. And in addition to levies and mayoral an council races, there is a robustly contested battle for four open seats on the Akron Board of Education. Eight candidates meet this week for a debate sponsored by the Akron Press Club in partnership with Ideastream Public Media, the Akron Beacon Journal and Signal Akron. Our Anna Huntsman was one of the journalists posing questions to the candidates. People are packing independent music venues. That's a good thing. But the venues aren't turning a profit. That's troubling. So says a new report from the National Independent Venue Association on the impact of small music clubs on the state's economy, which estimates the more than 300 clubs made $3 billion last year. Students, alumni and supporters of student-run WCSB college radio at Cleveland State University held a protest this week after the university announced an agreement with Ideastream Public Media to switch to an all-Jazz format programmed by Ideastream.

It seems unthinkable that a simple legal loophole for hemp would lead to the de facto legalization of marijuana edibles in the United States, but here we are. Intoxicating hemp products are everywhere, and everyone seems to be excited about them. But the story of hemp-derived THC's rise and the greatest threat to its future are inexorably linked to its legal status. In this episode, we speak to two legal experts, Marc Hauser and Rebecca Stamey-White, about how the intoxicating hemp business came to life, how long it could last, and how the sector's tenuous legal status is influencing every aspect of the industry, from who invests and founds a hemp business to where it can be sold.  Be sure to check out Marc's fantastic substack “Cannabis Musings”: Click here.   Want to sign up for our written research?

There is much confusion in the minds of law makers and consumers when it comes to what hemp is. For years hemp advocates championed the fact that hemp doesn't get you high, but thanks to a loophole in the 2018 Farm Bill, somebody figured out how to get high from hemp, and so began the era of intoxicating hemp that we find ourselves in now. But if hemp is getting you high, it's not hemp — it's weed. Stop calling it hemp. And that's why there needs to be a legislative fix. Erica Stark from the National Hemp Association joins us to discuss the issue and share her ideas on what a potential fix might look like. Then we talk to Lancaster Country regenerative hemp farmer Steve Groff about the various hemp projects he's working on down at the farm, where he's got 60 acres of fiber hemp ready to harvest in about three weeks. He talks about the “green decortication” project he's working on and how he hopes to inspire people at the Global Fiber Hemp Summit in Raleigh next week. As always Groff sees potential, but he's not waiting for the next Farm Bill to act. “I'm not checked out,” he said. “I'm checked in.” Plus, news nuggets from around the hemp world: Kazakhstan is preparing to make passport paper from hemp, Arizona courts are tightening THC rules, and Morris Beegle calls again for clear bifurcation between cannabinoid and industrial markets. We close with a reminder to check out our new kids podcast, Super Smart Farm Show, launching July 22. Stick around after the credits to hear the trailer. As always, thanks for listening — and until next time, we'll see you in the newspaper.

Now Courtney has a new podcast called RnR with Courtney Act where she goes deep with friends, celebrities, and celebrity friends.

I couldn't help myself. I mean, how American can you be? In fact, I do what I can when travelling to absorb culture and not compare to the American lifestyle.  But I had to ask "Is the Chinese food in China the same as it is in the states?" The answer....listen to the podcast! I was completely taken by Emilie...She brings warmth to her perspective but at the same time, taking a firm position that is rooted in vast experience and educated conjecture. Emilie Steckenborn makes a living where most of us can only dream—at the intersection of wine, culture, and cutting-edge business in China's ever-evolving market. But don't let her youthful charm and “very strong Chinese accent” (as Paul jokes) fool you. Emilie is a polyglot insider who's spent over a decade breaking barriers in Shanghai, consulting for both airlines and luxury giants like LVMH, and unraveling the intricacies of food, wine, and social connection in the world's most populous country. You will come away from this episode with a front-row seat to Emilie's striking journey from Toronto to Asia's fine wine circles, and you'll learn how Western and Chinese culinary myths feed both perceptions and markets. She'll shed light on why most "Chinese food" in North America bears little resemblance to dishes in Beijing or Guangzhou, how social media platforms like Xiaohongshu change what's in your glass and on your plate, and why the Chinese DTC (direct-to-consumer) model leaves American wine buyers in the dust. You'll also get a candid look at the role of women in China's wine scene, why brand is king (or queen) from Yellowtail to Lafite, how fake wine scams erupt and vanish, and what it really takes to build—and protect—a luxury wine label in one of the world's most challenging markets. Emilie's passion for connection glues it all together, whether she's navigating bottles at 50-table banquets or forging authentic stories through her own "Bottled in China" podcast. Expect to leave with a new appreciation for the complexities of selling, sharing, and savoring wine across cultures—and the secrets behind the conversations that only a great glass can unlock.   ✅ Ever wondered how wine, culture, and business blend together in China's booming scene? ✅ Host Paul Kalemkiarian sits down with Emilie Steckenborn—wine industry leader, podcast host, and all-around trailblazer—for a globe-spanning conversation you won't forget. ✅ From myth-busting Chinese cuisine to insider stories on luxury wine brands, social media's impact, and the secret sauce behind wine's magic, Wine Talks uncorks big ideas and bigger stories. ✅ Discover why wine isn't just a drink, but a bridge for connection and innovation—and why the next “aha moment” in your own wine journey might be just one sip away.
