Potcast 184: Do It Yourself with Cannabis
On Potcast 184 we celebrate curiosity and cannabis and the growing pains of finding your way.
Whether you’re new to cannabis or newly empowered to carve your own path, you’ll appreciate this chat with my friend Kathy. It’s also for anyone ready to try their hand at mixing both eastern and western influences for DIY cannabis wellness. So have a seat in our smoke circle and get ready to stoke your creative fires.
I’m happy to be your cannabis lifestyle guide and share what I know and learn with you. If you feel inspired, please take a beat to rate and review Casually Baked on iTunes or Apple Podcasts. That simple action helps other canna-curious folks find this highly responsible cannabis content.
Kumbaya and cannabis, -Jo 💚
This Potcast Is Covered By MJ Relief
MJ Relief is the muscle rub for what aches and pains you. The pain-relieving, skin-soothing muscle rub I co-created with Dr. Monica Vialpando, is finally out in the wild and ready to enhance your everyday experience. MJ Relief is the same thoughtful Ph.D. formulation we’ve batch produced for friends and family as Casually Baked Muscle Rub for the past four years. But now it’s in a convenient tube so you can avoid messy mishaps, over-using, and contamination from those “double-dipping” fingers. And bonus, it smells like a relaxing dream and will up-level your next massage. I use MJ Relief damn near every day to ease my chronic neck and shoulder tension.
If you’re feelin’ my pain and want some muscle and joint relief of your own, head over to MJ Skin Relief dot com and order a tube for you and another one for your favorite friend or family member. 😘
‘After the Show’ Notes
My friend Kathy growing medicine for her family.
A bountiful harvest ready to be turned into all kinds of DIY medicines - from topicals to tinctures and bitters.
No matter your age, I hope you’re inspired to do hard things.
I encourage you to look at cannabis and your own beliefs, habits, and obstacles with a fresh perspective that serves your highest good. Get excited to venture out and explore new things. And don’t mistake the physical discomfort and agitation of trying something new as a sign it’s time to quit. That fish out of water feeling - it’s normal when we’re figuring stuff out. And it’s certainly okay to not know where you’re going when you start something. So practice being open to receive all the lessons and answers you’ll need along the way.
And what’s even cooler is that focusing and working through difficult moments and problem solving and developing new skills improves neuroplasticity which helps keep our brains sharp. So stay curious. Never stop moving, learning, and exploring. And have fun discovering new ways to appreciate plant medicine for wellness and overall quality of life improvement.✌️💚 -Jo
Kathy’s Newbie Recommendation for DIY Cannabis:
The Sustainability Roll-up is presented by OCB Rolling Papers. In perfect harmony with natural, sustainable practices, it’s always been the OCB signature to provide the highest quality, responsibly-sourced, and sustainably crafted rolling papers.
Bamboo has been a darling of the sustainability movement for decades and used by humans as both a food and natural resource for thousands of years. Bamboo is one of the most persistent and versatile grasses on the planet and requires little water. And compared to an equivalent tree mass, bamboo produces 35% more oxygen and research has shown that bamboo can absorb as much as 12 tonnes of carbon dioxide per hectare per year. That’s a lot of carbon sequestration for a naturally renewing grass. When harvested bamboo regrows from its own root system, which is convenient as hell and excellent for soil health. The shallow roots of the bamboo create a fibrous network underground which helps to hold the soil together. By not disturbing the roots between harvests, the soil conditions and the micro-environment and water absorption continue to improve. Another cool thing about bamboo is that it is both light and strong — stronger than steel, in fact. I read that bamboo has a tensile strength of 28,000 pounds per square inch. Where steel only has a tensile strength of 23,000 pounds per square inch.
And it grows exceptionally fast - some varietals can grow up to 4 feet per day. And bamboo can be made into anything from homes to rolling papers. Last year, OCB rolled out America’s first, ultra-thin, slow-burning BAMBOO rolling paper and cones that have been taking the market by storm. OCB Bamboo is Harvested responsibly, is highly sustainable, Chlorine-free, dye-free, bleach-free, GMO-free, and VEGAN. You’ll love OCB even more because they make no tear, even-burning, rolling papers with natural always-sticks acacia gum grown in African fields that OCB has been re-foresting for decades.
DISCLAIMER: You must be 21 and older to buy OCB rolling papers and to follow @ocb_usa on social.
Roll With Me, a new video series launched on the Casually Baked YouTube channel in April 2021, is a collaboration with OCB Rolling Papers. I’ll get lessons and insights on the craft of rolling while chatting about all things hemp and cannabis culture.
