Podcasts about what are you smoking

⌛⌛ On today's Outsmoken, we seek to answer a question as old as time, a tale as old as rhyme

This week, on What Are You Smoking, we revisit a conversation recorded earlier this year between Will and pop punk band Potty Mouth about good times, bad times, and the role cannabis plays in their creative process.  Hear about life on the road, what strains and products the band uses to spark creativity and stay comfortable on stage, and why you should never drive into a wildfire on edibles. Other than the obvious.

It's 4/20 this weekend, and what better way to set it off than with Will Hyde, Sr. Subject Matter Expert at Leafly?! Will is a cannabis expert and host of the ‘What Are You Smoking?’ podcast. With over 14 years of industry experience and decades of passionate advocacy, he has developed a prowess for squashing stigmas while furthering the mainstream understanding of cannabis. He’s worked on nearly every level of the cannabis supply chain from budtending and retail sales to wholesale distribution, cultivation, and extraction. As a columnist for Leafly, Will’s 'Avid Dabber' persona highlights his enthusiasm for hash, concentrates, and extraction technology. An artist, DJ, filmmaker, and world traveler, Will is never too far from his next adventure or creative endeavor.

We're taking the show on the road for our first live recording of What Are You Smoking from SXSW from beautiful—but cannabis unfriendly—Austin, Texas. This week's episode sees What Are You Smoking all stars Amanda Reiman (VP of community relations for FlowKana), J.J. O'Brien (VP of PAX Era) and Sarah Hanlon (co-host of Leafly's The High Life podcast) join Will for a conversation about the fractured nature  of the current cannabis industry and how it is shaping the future of legal cannabis markets worldwide, intentionally or not. This great, hour-long panel conversation also touches on how banking issues make it more difficult to pay everyone from trimmers to budtenders,  the ways that big investors are poised to change the nature of legal cannabis, and the importance of current consumers voting with their dollars to support the kinds of companies they want to see.

This week on What Are You Smoking, TV personality and cannabis patient Montel Williams joins Will and Emily to talk about how cannabis has changed his life and turned him into an advocate. We also learned about Williams' new line of cannabis capsules and vapes, and how he worked with the team at Cura Cannabis to develop a suite of different formulations to meet the needs of patients and consumers of all stripes. And don't worry, you know we'll find out what Montel is smoking before the show is out. 

This week on What Are You Smoking, Will chats with Adam Vine of Cage-Free Cannabis, a hybrid of brand and non-profit entity aiming to make it easier to expunge cannabis charges from people's criminal records.  We'll learn about how Cage-Free Cannabis is working to help people access the information and resources they need to get their records clear, from partnering with brands to staging community events and developing toolkits that let people take the process in their own hands. We'll talk about what responsibility the growing cannabis industry has to people who have been impacted by criminalization in the past and present, and what form that work should take. We'll also find out what Vine, a longtime cannabis patient and advocate is smoking this week! 

Heisman Trophy winner. NFL Pro Bowler. Healer. Astrologer. Cannabis entrepreneur. Ricky Williams has been a lot of things in his life, and this week, he's our guest on the What Are You Smoking? podcast. Williams talks with our hosts, Will Hyde and Dante Jordan, about what his relationship with cannabis has looked like over the course of his life, and how it has evolved alongside his personal journey. You'll hear how Williams' training as a healer and herbalist has informed the development of his cannabis brand, Real Wellness, why he recommends learning more about astrology as a way to self-knowledge, and how making a run to Amsterdam to re-up for Lenny Kravitz's tour bus taught him how to love Haze strains.

It's Terpene Week at Leafly, and that means we're taking a deep dive into the volatile compounds that give cannabis it's flavor, its smell, and influence its effects. This week on What Are You Smoking, we're dusting off an episode from the vaults and revisiting our conversation with Leafly's staff scientist Nick Jikomes for a primer on what terpenes are and what research is teaching us about them. We'll be back with a new episode featuring football legend and cannabis entrepreneur Ricky Williams next week. In the meantime, you can learn more about the wide world of terpenes by checking out our news coverage elsewhere on Leafly all week long. 

Will Hyde is a cannabis expert at Leafly and a host of the "What Are you Smoking" podcast. He's a cultivator and former budtender who loves complex hybrids with piney and gassy terpene profiles. A hash and concentrate connoisseur, you can see what he's dabbing and follow all his adventures on Instagram at @the.avid.dabber.

Every week on What Are You Smoking, we discuss the cool stuff that cannabis companies are doing. This week, we wanted to take some time to share some of the awesome stuff our own co-workers are doing, like rolling out Leafly’s new online ordering and pickup service. We’re chatting with Ruben Chen and Bennett Kaplan from our dispensary team about how Leafly Pickup can make life easier for dispensaries and customers alike, what we’re doing to improve the product, and how new partners can get involved. And of course, since no episode is complete without it, we’ll chat about what everyone’s smoking this week, from budget-friendly ounces to cannagars that put a new spin on living the high life.  

Today on the show, Will and Bailey are joined by storied cannabis researcher and neurologist Dr. Ethan Russo.  Dr. Russo has authored dozens of papers and books about the medical potential of cannabis, and currently serves as Director of Research and Development for the International Cannabis and Cannabinoids Institute. On the latest episode of What Are You Smoking, Dr. Russo weighs in on the many pesticides that may be lurking in cannabis throughout Washington. Learn what to look for, what's worth avoiding, and why consumers and legislators alike should be lobbying for more stringent testing of the products on dispensary shelves. We'll also talk about how cannabis legalization might actually be making contamination more widespread. 

This week on What Are You Smoking, Bailey and Emily are joined in the studio by Lo Friesen, CEO and lead extractor at Heylo, one of our favorite extraction companies in Washington.  Lo got her start in the cannabis industry designing CO2 extraction machines for Eden Labs before moving to the other side of the extractor to craft Heylo's awesome cannabis oils. In today's episode, we talk about how Heylo is highlighting the role terpenes play in the effects of cannabis, why the company only works with outdoor growers, and the work her team is doing to make Green Crack less polarizing. 

This week on What Are You Smoking, we welcome Leafly's newest staff writer, Dante Jordan, back to the show and get a reminder that, while legal cannabis makes things seem rosy on the coasts, prohibition is still wrecking lives around the nation. Recently arrived in Seattle from Dallas, Dante shares his thoughts on how legalization efforts impact states where cannabis prohibition is the law of the land, what's it like writing about cannabis from a prohibition state, and what folks in legal states seem to forget about the bad old days.  It's not all heavy stuff, though—we also try to crack the mystery of why Seattle doesn't smoke blunts, with...limited success. 

Happy Oil Day, everyone! On this 7/10, we're celebrating by showcasing some of the many great cannabis concentrates, oils, waxes, and other extracts available in legal markets around the country. In keeping with that, What Are You Smoking? is dropping a day early to present a conversation with Graham Jennings and Aaron Palmer, the co-founders of Oleum, one of our favorite extraction companies in Washington.  Will Hyde, your host and Avid Dabber, talks with Oleum's honchos about what they look for in flower, what customers are looking for in their concentrates, and why isolating less well known cannabinoids looks like the wave of the future for extraction technology.

This week on What Are You Smoking, we sit down with OTTO, the joint-rolling robot from Banana Bros, and OTTO's inventor, Dave Richmond. Dave's a veteran engineer and a joint aficionado—not necessarily in that order—who brought his first entry into the cannabis industry into our studios to show us how it works. OTTO is an AI powered electrical mill that precision grinds cannabis for joints, blunts, and anything else you like to smoke! While we took the OTTO for a spin, we chatted with Dave about how artificial intelligence can help build a better joint, what got him into the cannabis business, and how cannabis entrepreneurs can make crowdfunding work for them. Also, we told some Dad jokes on this episode, and for this, we simply cannot apologize enough.

This week on What Are You Smoking, Will and Bailey sit down with Larry Perigo, one of the founders of Saints Joints and Seattle Green Bud. We'll talk about collaboration in the cannabis industry, the trials of expanding a cannabis company across state lines, and the challenges of developing the perfect blend of products for a concentrate-infused preroll. Plus, Larry passes on some joint-rolling advice for the DIY inclined. 

Here at Leafly, we get a lot of questions from our readers, and we do our best to answer them. So this week on What Are You Smoking?, we're diving deep into Leafly's mailbag to field some of the most interesting, important, and common questions we get from curious cannabis consumers. Learn how to properly store your infused edibles, what cannabis strains and compounds can help you kick cigarettes, and of course, what to do if you are just too high.  And if you've got questions you'd like to hear in our next mailbag episode, email us at whatareyousmoking@leafly.com.  

Alaska was the third state in the U.S. to legalize and regulate adult-use cannabis, but this far-flung cannabis community doesn't typically get the same coverage as its cousins in the lower 48. In this episode of What Are You Smoking, we try and rectify that a little. Just back from a reporting trip to Anchorage, Leafly deputy editor Bruce Barcott sits down to discuss the opportunities dispensaries in the Great White North are taking advantage of and the challenges they face. And of course, we'll also talk about cannabis products you can there, including a preroll that made quite an impression on our intrepid reporter. 

This week on What Are You Smoking, no one is in the studio, because Bailey, Will, and Jeremiah are down in Portland, Oregon, visiting dispensaries and getting a taste of a slew of new products. It's a real ghost town in here, ladies and gents.  That's not going to keep us from recording an episode, though! Our dedicated cannabis experts called in from the Rose City to share what they're smoking, offer thoughts on the dispensary experience in the Beaver State, and provide tips on where to eat when you're visiting.  We'll be back with a full-length episode next week. And make sure to check back on Leafly in the coming weeks, when the flower, concentrate, and other cannabis products your hosts have been testing receive their marks in our Cannabis Rating System.

What Are You Smoking? will be back with brand new episodes in 2018. Until then, take a listen to host Will Hyde's interview with Tim Blake, the founder and driving force behind California's iconic Emerald Cup cannabis competition. Check back soon for new episodes, and if you just can't wait, remember that you can also catch up on previous episodes of both What Are You Smoking? and The Roll-up on Leafly's Podcasts page.

I guess my being in #SHARKTOPUS killed my chances — Eric Roberts (@EricRoberts) March 10, 2016 We discussed the gift that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau gave to Michelle Obama, as mentioned in this article from Maclean's magazine: What the Trudeaus gave the Obamas For Michelle Obama: First Lady Michelle Obama received a blue beaded cape from fourth-generation indigenous artist Tammy Beauvais of Kahnawake, Que. Three glass beads on the cape once belonged to the designer's great grandmother. Beauvais has been designing Aboriginal clothing since she was 13, and her work has been purchased by politicians and their spouses, including Aline Chrétien, wife of former prime minister Jean Chrétien. Many of the first ladies of North America, South America and Central America own the Sky Woman Cape. (Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau was also gifted a similar cape, in winter white.) Beauvais' work is also popular with celebrities, including Robert De Niro, who owns a satin Tree of Peace Native Design vest, and Julia Roberts' brother, actor Eric Roberts. ——————– We discussed the launch of http://z420.tv/ and its Eric Roberts-related programming.
