Joyce Gerber & Amie Searles are The Canna Moms who started the local-to-MA podcast called The Canna Mom Show!. Referred to as The Click and Clack of Cannabis, while also aspiring to be the Terry Gross of Cannabis Talk, these ladies were awesome. Funny, smart and actually visionaries who want to get the word out that Canna Moms are not lazy, good for nothing slackers who are a burden to society but exactly the opposite! Inspirational visionaries out to change the world, one canna story at a time! We talk initially about cannabis and parenting and our observations that cannabis has helped us all, in many instances be better parents, or at least more able to engage in the now and connect with our offspring. Making the connection with the TSC community, I will share personally that using cannabis helped me greatly slow down the frequent crises long enough to observe my son's TSC/TAND behaviors, my own role in perpetuating patterns, and start to break the cycle. One small example of how the potential of cannabis as medicine can positively impact the entire family. Their pitch is as follows: 'Are you interested in hearing inspiring cannabis stories told by real cannabis moms? This is the show for you! Former family law attorney and mother of two, Joyce Gerber, and her canna-sister, Amie Searles, a 420 Realtor, talk with women from coast to coast who are leaders in the revolution of cannabis and caregiving and crushing the cannabis stigma, one canna story at a time." While an overall lighthearted conversation, we dipped down into the weeds a bit to get some of the deeper motivations for their willingness to step away from more traditional careers and launch a podcast. Not just any podcast, but one on cannabis. Joyce discusses some life challenges with juggling career and parenthood and coming back to a career in her 50s and how that pushed her to try something different. Amie relates how her own experience being diagnosed with breast cancer and using cannabis as part of her treatment regimen gave her the impetus to speak out about her positive experiences instead of holding on to the many years of shame, guilt and confusion so many from our generation felt and continue to feel for using something that can actually contribute to improved mental and physical health. "But the truth is everybody has a cannabis story. You know, Even myself, I'm very active in my temple and in our synagogue, I'm having a doctor come in, and we're going to do a talk on cannabis, Friday night, pre-service. You know, these are older women a little older than me. And we are the fastest growing population of users" We discuss the local cannabis industry in MA, challenges with legislation in cities such as Cambridge, MA, some of the fun events these ladies have attended to engage with the local community and promote their work, such as a Cannabis Wedding Expo. Also discussed are the CBD market,, CBD safety and Cannabis interactions with medications, the overmedicating of America with pharmaceuticals, and much more. This one will make you laugh, cry, giggle, inspire you & broaden your vision in regards to the potential of cannabis as medicine, as a recreational substance, and more. Also, how podcasters as communicators speaking out about this sometimes controversial subject matter have the power to truly affect change, at a local and national level. Go Canna Moms!

Neuroscientist Dr. Greg Gerdeman makes the scientific case for legalization and regulation.Interview content begins at 20:58.Greg Gerdeman, PhD was one of the first people to make me aware that the runner’s high is not the result of endorphins, but is in fact, brought on by endocannabinoids -- the molecules produced by our own bodies that mimic the effects of THC and CBD found in the plant. Since then, Greg, a former tenured professor at Eckerd College and now Chief Science officer at 3 Boys Farm, an organic greenhouse-based cannabis provider in Florida, has become a trusted friend and colleague. He is one of those rare people who can make complex biochemistry of cannabis understandable, even sexy.That's why Greg was the first person I called when I wanted to understand the difference between the scary synthetics like K2 or Spice and real cannabis. As he explains in this fascinating interview, these fake cannabinoids were first produced in labs by renown scientists who were looking to locate and understand the way that endocannabinoid system of receptors in our brains and bodies work. But unlike THC or CBD, the synthetics were designed to attach to stick to the receptors for a very long time. That’s why they are 10,000 more potent than natural cannabinoids and so much more dangerous.Even more dodgy are the haphazard ways they are made: Bad actors in Southeast Asia get access to these synthetic cannabinoids and then spray them on herbs in random, unknown quantities. Some doses may be mild; others deadly. No oversight = no quality control. They are exported are then sold here in gas stations and convenience stores to the uninformed looking for a cheap high. As Greg points out, this illicit trade is the result of prohibition. If everyone could legally obtain cannabis, the need for synthetic substitutes evaporates.In this wide ranging interview (which is reflective of Greg’s wide ranging brain) he also explains the differences between “full spectrum CBD” and CBD products made from “isolates” and “distillates.” He warns why the product labeled "organic" featuring a cute couple hiking The Rockies, might not be what’s advertised.To read all of Dr. Gerdeman's papers click here.
Hosted by: Boveda’s Drew Emmer and Scott Swail HeroGrown provides hope and tangible help for millions of veterans and first responders who want to use cannabis to kick addiction to prescription painkillers and other drugs. Army veteran and former law enforcement officer Roger Martin founded HeroGrown (formerly Grow For Vets) on Memorial Day 2014. The nonprofit provides much-needed cannabis-related resources to veterans of the Armed Forces and everyday heroes, like firefighters and police officers. --- Who is Roger Martin and what is HeroGrown? (1:45) Why did Roger Martin, a veteran, turn to cannabis? (2:50) What were Roger’s immediate results after switching from oxycontin to cannabis? (3:53) Drew asks Siri what the humidity is in Henderson, Nevada. (7:18) Why HeroGrown is getting more politically active in 2018. (11:25) What Roger says to people who don’t think cannabis is a valuable alternative for veterans. (16:03) What can cannabis activists do to amplify their voices in their city/state? (20:00) Why “first responders” are also included in the HeroGrown mission. (24:00) How large is the demand for relief via cannabis among veterans? (26:27) Thank veterans for their service. No, REALLY thank them. (29:23) #AskBoveda (Instagram) (36:25) Does Boveda absorb terpenes? No. Boveda absorbs only water vapor. Boveda is 2-way humidity control for cannabis. Boveda acts as a desiccant and humidicant. This means Boveda pulls moisture away from flower as well as adds moisture to flower to maintain an optimal relative humidity level that helps cannabis hold on to its terpenes.
