What do you think of when you hear, "Discretion, discovery, and delight"? That phrase is what our Marketing Guru, Bridget Hoffer co-founder of Marigold Marketing and PR, thinks customers are looking for in a Cannabis retailer. Our business management consultant, Karen Debroni - Principal at Debroni and Associates, says education is key for people getting into the Cannabis Space. Kirk and Trevor talk to these Boss Ladies about how they got into the Cannabis Space and why it is attracting so many female entrepreneurs. Then they shamelessly pick the brains of these Cannabis Business Experts for pearls on running and marketing a podcast. Hey, where were Kirk and Trevor going to get better caliber coaching for free? You should listen and learn something from the Boss Ladies too. This episode sponsor is strainprint.ca.

What's the difference between hemp and cannabis? What's up with all these "hemp derived CBD's"? Kirk and Trevor talk to hemp pioneer Martin Moravcik, and hemp farmers Don Dewar and Chris Federowich. Martin has been a hemp promoter since the early 1990's. Chris and Don grow hemp on a large scale today and Chris is the Vice-Chair of Parkland Industrial Hemp Growers. Hemp can provide fiber for textiles, food and maybe medicine. There is a lot of interest in getting CBD's from hemp, but it isn't as easy as you would think to scale up to a farm sized plot of hemp. Kirk likes to say he specifically goes for bike rides south of Dauphin just to smell the hemp fields. Come jump on your bike for a warm summer evening ride. You are passing acres and acres of tall green plants as Kirk and Trevor talk in your ear buds... This episode sponsor is strainprint.ca.

Did you have that friend of a friend who grew their own in a basement? Kirk goes back to the future. An ACMPR (Access to Cannabis for Medical Purposes Regulations) legal grower, Paul, shows Kirk how he grows his own medicine! Paul is very environmentally conscious with his worm compost soil, no solvent resins and deep knowledge and respect for the cannabis plant. Plus he is an archivist of different medical strains. Come down the stairs... and learn with Trevor and Kirk. @sustainableorganicsolutions @greenbeaver420

Trevor and Kirk went to the Cannabis and Hemp Expo in Winnipeg Sept 30, 2018. They talked to lots of fascinating people! They brought you 4 stories. Savethedrive.com's CEO Chanel Graham was a home care nurse when she saw a need for getting cannabis to people who couldn't leave their homes. Brad Pattison of Brad Pattison Pet Wellness (www.bradpattisonpetwellness.ca)stops cats from launching aerial attacks on their owners. Dr. Brent Guppy of Synthase Genetics (synthasegenetics.com) can help producers identify the genes to make better cannabis strains. Nathan the VP of Community Outreach with the Winnipeg 420 Group (@Winnipeg420 on Facebook) talked about 420 in 2019. Recreational Cannabis is legal, but will everyone at the event at the Leg now be fined?

My cannabis is labeled 17% THC. What dose that mean? Emily Kirkham, an analytical chemist, talks to Kirk and Trevor about cannabis potency testing, cannabinoids and terpenes. She also gets into pesticide testing and micro-contaminants like lead. Ever wondered about the alphabet soup of regulations like the MMAR, ACMPR and how they came to be? Mike Boivin, pharmacist and designer of cannabis continuing education programs, gives us a great history lesson on the lawsuits that got us from 2001 to 2018. He talks about how proper use of medical cannabis can reduce polypharmacy and clinical pearls like if a medical patient feels high all the time on their cannabis try something different like a new strain or dose. As an extra bonus, if you live in the Winnipeg area....go see Reefer Madness the Musical Dec 6-16, 2018! They provided us with the music this episode, and it will be a very fun and educational show! https://winnipegstudiotheatre.com/reefermadness/

What is the endocannabinoid system? Did you have that friend in high school with the hemp shirt who told you, "The body was designed to smoke pot, man!" That is not as crazy as it sounds. Trevor and Kirk talk to Dr. Robert Laprairie. He is a pharmacologist who studies the endocannabinoid system. Your body produces its own cannabinoids and has receptors that can accept external cannabinoids like THC and CBD. But just because cannabis is natural doesn't mean it shouldn't be used with caution. Dr. Laprairie also discusses interactions with prescription medications and other thing to watch for. But in general Dr. Laprairie is very positive about cannabis research in a post-legalization Canada!

What did you do to celebrate Oct 17/18? Kirk and Trevor were busy. Kirk interviewed people at the first legal cannabis shop in Manitoba outside of Winnipeg. They also had a party to celebrate a year of podcasting. They called up some chefs, read some cookbooks and cooked with cannabis for their friends! They talked to Joel Carleton-Cannabis Sommelier & Interpener, Chef Matt of Delta-9 Chefs, Chef Alan of Flatlands Infused Pop-up dinner, and relied heavily on "Healing Cannabis Edibles" by Ellen Novak and Pat Crocker. @canadacomfort Canadacomfort.net delta9chefs.com https://cannadianchronicle.com/events/flatlands-infused-pop-up-dinner-puff-puff-pass/

Are we addicted to taxes? Trevor and Kirk talk to Dr. Jason Childs. He is an economist who says whether you want to reduce harm from cannabis or increase government coffers then keep taxes on cannabis low. In fact, having the government subsidize licensed producers might be a brilliant idea. In part 2 we have Dr. Jonathon Stea. He is a psychologist who has studied and treated cannabis addiction. Surprisingly, cannabis is probably going to be both worse and better than you imagine post legalization.

The leaves are changing. Fall is here. What do you do if an employee at your job site is coming to work high? How much cannabis should a school bus driver be using? Teachers and students - which one should be allowed to use medicinal cannabis? Are you less fit for work if you are on Tylenol #3's or cannabis? Our My Cannabis story is about a sports injury.

You've decided to try medicinal cannabis. Now what? If only there was some support out there. We talk to Ashleigh Brown, the founder of SheCann, a Facebook Community of medical cannabis advocates. Then, you track your steps and sleep with a FitBit. You track you calories with a diet app. What if you could track your medicinal cannabis use? We talk to Stephanie Karasick the founder of Strainprint. Yup. There is an app for that. And we think it is pretty cool.

Should cannabis be sold in pharmacies? Is the difference between recreational and medicinal cannabis? Should an Emergency Room Doctor be able to look up if a patient is using medicinal cannabis? Trevor the Pharmacist thinks medicinal cannabis belongs in a pharmacy. What do you think?
