We also discuss the business of worm farming and how to get started with your own DIY bin. We even dabble in death with talk of earth-friendly burial methods.
Read MoreWe’re continuing our Mendo summer farm tour this week at Radicle Herbs in Covelo, CA. I had the pleasure of walking and talking with the farmers as they tended their garden on a market day. We talk chop and drop crops and farming tips that even the backyard gardener will appreciate. We take a peek at the business of farming food versus farming cannabis. The importance of community supported agriculture and the drawbacks of a centralized cannabis system and the corporatization of our lives. Lots of good stuff in these show notes!

And if you’re new to the benefits of THCV, we do a deep dive on that minor cannabinoid and the gifts it has to offer. I believe this potcast will inspire you to get outside and consciously experience nature.

Read MoreWe’re catching up with our Canadian buddy, Jameson Welbourn of Stewart Farms, to talk about food security, Canadian cannabis genetics, and pheno-hunting. He gives us the scoop on the performance of Canada's 2.0 cannabis products, packaging headaches, the uphill battle of the edibles situation, and the come-up of high-quality cannabis flower on dispensary shelves. We talk about the glaring disconnect between what consumers want versus the parental attitude of the Canadian regulators. And the role education plays in finding the balance.
