Diving Into The CannAbyss
With Host Steve Gieder
In This EPISODE:
2:10 - My Snoop story, and how it all started when he DMed me after he saw this video I did on the Kent State Massacre.
4:00 - How people like Snoop and Willie Nelson have helped to undo the stigma and lies around cannabis and how it affects our brains.
5:34 - Why I started the Cannabis Cutie to make cannabis science more accessible and easy-to-understand for everyone.
8:10 - Breastfeeding, pregnancy, and cannabis use—we get into it all! And I share how and why I consumed, minimally, for relief during my second pregnancy with a dry herb vaporizer.
12:20 - More advice for cannamoms: shut up, and keep your use under wraps.
17:00 - My favorite consumption methods. While I dabble in tinctures and edibles here and there, everyone knows I love a good hemp blunt–and topicals for pain relief!
21:20 - How you can smoke with intention and use this herb to achieve whatever effects you need– whether it’s to be creative, connect intimately with a partner, or help you sleep.
22:50 - Why I believe a lot of the people out here spouting cannabis propaganda are projecting their own substance use issues with alcohol and pills onto the plant.
23:10 - A reminder that alcohol is one of the most dangerous drugs known to man, even though we’ve rebranded alcohol withdrawals with the cute term “hangovers.”
27:40 - How being a known cannabis educator has bled into parenting. Interestingly, in Orange County it wasn’t an issue, but in LA a (well-meaning) parent came up to me at my kid’s basketball game and outed me in front of all the parents 🫥
28:20 - Why I don’t get involved too much with my kids’ schools and other parents to avoid having these tense conversations—and avoid my kids being discriminated against!
31:50 - Being the mother a middle-schooler, and finding out that some kids are already vaping cannabis in middle school.
41:00 - Why I am such a stan for Puffco, and how I love their Apple-esque product launch events.
46:00 - Plugging my Higher Learning Book Club – still going strong after 4 years. 🙌 You should join us.
