Colorado is the first state to allow social consumption of marijuana. We are still heckling to establish specific rules but as early as this summer, we can expect to see businesses obtain these licenses. Which makes us wonder…what will this be like? We predict that because you cannot smoke inside, that marijuana edibles will be the “stepping stone” to serving and eating marijuana infused goodies in “normal” restaurants and cafes. And what is a more perfect edible than chocolate? There isn’t one. Just ask our guest, Lauren Gockley, the Head Chocolatier of the cannabis chocolate kitchen, Coda Signature.
These truffles are as decadent as a piece of art, taste like heaven, have all the benefits of chocolate and are medicated. We also learn from Lauren a little secret that answers the question we had: why is choco [...]
A recently hot topic in the world of finance has been in the “Green Rush.” Get rich quick by investing in the green…green as in marijuana. Investing in cannabis certainly offers big opportunity…but it does come at a risk. So this week we invite special guest that is an expert in investing, specifically in marijuana. He shares the ins and outs of cannabis investing from the perspective of all parties at hand: investors, capital groups, cannabis businesses and even the government.
Some of the questions and topics we address are: the 3 main options people have for investing, what does a typical investor “look like?”, the challenges and market opportunities of investing in marijuana, what it’s like to look for cannabis investors, and last but not least, the sexiness of the combination of money and marijuana.
Our expert this week, Rick Batenburg is a partner and head of business development in the longest standing capital fir [...]
“Legal marijuana may very well be the first billion dollar industry that is not dominated by men.” This might surprise you as smoking weed (and in the past, dealing it too) has traditionally been presented to by pop culture as a male pastime. Yet 36% of executive level positions in the cannabis industry are held by women. That number drops to 22% in other industries. So this week we showcase the female-founded company, LEVO Oil, which makes bringing in cannabis infused cooking into the home easier than ever.
The company’s founder, Christina Bellman talks with us about her experience going from the male-dominated finance industy to founding this company in a brand new, budding industry, where women are everywhere; from testing labs to retail and even the executive suite.
Some of the questions we tackle this week are: what attracts women to the marijuana industry? How do men pe [...]
When are where did marijuana originate? When did the government require farmers to grow hemp?How did wars, immigration, the government and Hollywood shape the attitudes towards marijuana over the years? In the cannabis podcast this week, we answer these questions and more. We also get a deep insight into how propaganda, and media influenced our society’s perceptions of marijuana from an expert in media and tech in the cannabis industry. Lance Lambert is the Director of media operations for Weedmaps and marijuana.com, providing us with deep insight into the development of media attacking the industry, to media now (moreso perhaps than ever in our nation’s history) embracing marijuana and cannabis, as it is
With a brand new President, we are all wondering in the industry what will happen? Is the future of cannabis doomed? Will nothing change at all? While it is still too early to tell, we can begin speculating the boom or bust of the legal cannabis industries in the United States. We invite the owner, Steve Brooks, of one of Denver’s first and best dispensaries in Denver, Lightshade, to share his thoughts on how this might play out. Listen in to hear our conclusion here at CannaPod.
This week Ruby Red Eye reviews Receptra Pro from Receptra Naturals. We find out that it is widely used by UFC and MMA fighters for its neuroprotectants, which improve cognitive functioning (so they don’t get hit as much!), as well as post-workout recovery. And WE find out that little miss Alex is into UFC…who knew!
Our news this week is proudly presented t [...]
We invite the developer and lead marketer for medical marijuana products, such as Haleigh’s Hope and Cannatol RX to talk with us about the lives that have been changed and bettered by medical cannabis. These products can break a grand mal seizure in as little as 10 seconds, yet some continue to call cannabis a Schedule I drug. And this is where marketing becomes a challenge…how do you market something, especially for children when half of our society thinks it’s a terrible thing? And how do you provide this medicine for those that need it? One way is through the Flowering HOPE Foundation, which will provide medicine for free to those that need it and cannot afford it.
Thank you Richard Haines and Jason Cranford for joining us on this great episode that had all of our jaws dropping. We are all so grateful to have people like you representing the cannabis industry.
Our product review takes a deeper look into Haleigh’s Hope, and tell [...]
Here in Colorado it’s not unusual to smell the scent of cannabis in the air, or catch a glimpse of someone casually hitting their vape pens. This is not yet the case for every state, but we can confidently say that we are all moving in that direction of normalizing cannabis. So this week we talk about some of the indicators of marijuana going mainstream. One of those is the increasing availability and accessibility. So we invited the legend, PJ Rinker from The Joint in Denver to talk with us about how they’re making vaping more accessible and easier to do than ever before.
Their new ingognito line, by INDVR features some awesome products that enable us to vape without anyone noticing…even in the office. So for our product review this w [...]
Do you like edibles? Are you interested in how the pros cook and bake using cannabis? It’s not as easy as dumping some flower in your brownie batter…which we have all tried at some point. So we bring in the expert, Julie Berliner from Sweet Grass Kitchen to give us some tips. For starters…CannaButter is Better! Some things our hosts learned from their edible baking experiences are that you should not use coffee filters, or flower. Using flower won’t even get you high. But we also learned that when it comes to DIY with baking with cannabis, you might want to consider just leaving it to the cannabis professionals, like Sweet Grass Kitchen, who has those amazing butter mints that they always have at weddings, and their brand new white chocolate butter pecan cookies! Check out their
Why we can’t claim “organic” cannabis, what it actually takes to be called “clean cannabis,” and why all the other stuff is so bad for you. We seem to care what food goes into our body, but forget about the cannabis that goes into our body. This week, we invite Special guest and cannabis business owner, Amy Andrle of L’Eagle Services to talk with us about how we can fulfill our upcoming New Year’s Resolution to consume healthier products. As the first cannabis retail shop to be certified by Certifiably Green Denver, we can assure you that she knows what she is talking about!
To celebrate this joyous, winterous season, our product review is on Stillwater teas, which can be found caffeinated to get you up and going even on the most chilly mornings.

You can’t believe everything you read on the internet. So we get Santa to help us set some things straight, and keep us laughing the whole time too. But even if you’re listening after Christmas, you will love hearing more about 5 common myths about cannabis.
The myths involve: a Founding Father, sex, death, brain cells and more. Have fun listening!
The horror stories of Facebook profiles getting shut down are prevelent. Which makes things even more difficult for the marketing departments of the cannabis industry who already face massive restriction on many means of traditional marketing and advertising. So this week we discuss the challenges, but also some tips that have helped us and other cannabis industry entrepreneurs.
This week our guest Josh Risley, the founder, owner and CEO of Cannabis Maximus shares with our listeners his own experience of a Facebook shutdown…and you’ll never guess why they shut down this profile.
In the news this week we discuss new automated home growing chambers (do they actually work?), NBA coach Steve Kerr tries marijuana for pain (it didn’t help him, so the NBA deems the use as “not being for medical purposes”), and a new real-time menu update that we can expect to [...]
What do the future cannabis products look like? What will the high feel like? This week, we invite one of the experts to give us a sneak peek into what the future of cannabis beholds. Although research is still in its infancy stage, there are some conducting groundbreaking research on the cannabinoids that will drive the future of these products and medicines. One of the major players in this research is a company, called Ebbu. In this episode you will hear the CEO and President of Ebbu, Jon Cooper talk a bit about what they are discovering in the labs of Ebbu. And more importantly, what this means for the future cannabis products. One day soon enough, you will no longer just have to choose between indica or sativa…and you will not just take cannabis when you want to get high. You might get the opportunity to actually choose your desired effect. And you’ll get that effect every single time.

Ever wonder what strains are good for what? There’s no longer just one high, like back in the day. We now develop strains that have different effects. Not all will have you ending up on the couch with pizza in your lap. Plus, we invite the pros from Denver Clone Store, Shawn Olson and Casey Knutson to share all their inside knowledge. This is a fun episode for the canna-community!
Cannabis Patent laws are complicated. You can’t get a patent on the federal level, unless you’re the United States of course - who does own a patent for cannabis. But most states with some form of legalization offer state trademark protections (except for California). So to clear things up on this topic, we brought in the experts. Our guest this week is Abe Cohn, the COO of THC Legal Group who helps our listeners better understand intellectual property protections of the industry. Because lets face it…it’s a huge barrier to success for many cannabis companies. Especially as states continue to legalize recreational and medical marijuana. Congrats to all the states that legalized this week. And “sorry Arizona,” as Alejandra says.
So if you are a cannabis business owner and have yet to obtain a trademark, or need any other legal advice or help that is industry-specific, [...]
It’s a big year for every American. Our hosts reveal if they will be voting for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton, or if they will vote at all. We also talk about disturbing campaigns against marijuana and other political issues.
We learn even more about government and politics and cannabis from our Special guest, Nichole West who is the VP of Sweet Leaf and a professor at Clover Leaf University.
The cannabis industry is no longer just a bunch of drug dealers selling weed from their backpacks. Cannabis business owners are no longer drug dealers - but “real” businessmen that are expanding the industry and innovating like crazy. So this week, we brought in a wise businessman, that’s actively involved in driving the industry forward, through finance, operations, strategy and technology. Richard Batenburg is the founder and owner of Cliintel Capital Group; one of the most involved portfolio companies in the industry. He has been consulting businesses for years, and now provides this consulting to cannabis businesses, driving the marijuana industry forward. You can check out his book, “Change is Great, Be First” Here.
News topics include: a controversial UK government decision, corporate interests and big money, plant homogenization, and genomics and DNA technology for cannab [...]
Everyone is talking about it…giving cannabis to our pets. Not to get them high, of course, but rather for medicinal purposes. It’s helping many animals live more comfortably already. But the CBD itself isn’t the only thing that’s helping dog in this grand state of Colorado. Learn about No Kill Colorado’s efforts to work with cannabis industry philanthropy from a man that actually does both. Davyd Smith owns the Trinidad dispensary, Faragosi Farms, and he is also heavily involved with several philanthropies that save animals lives in Colorado.
Our product review this week has been tried and tested by a dog, under the supervision of her owner - what they seem to be saying about CBD and dogs is real.

This topic has been dominated cannabis headlines the last month. The old stigma of the lazy stoner is fading, and now people are starting to instead wonder if marijuana can be performance enhancing. The CannaPod Squad takes on the debate, using personal experiences and science. Former cycling champ, Floyd Landis weighs in, and talks about his use of cannabis for pain relief and recovery. He and his business partner, Scott, aka. Wolfman also talk about how this led them to create their cannabis infused products business, Floyds of Leadville. They take good care of their plants and only produce high quality products, with an emphasis on health and healthy living.
Our news this week covers: cannabis and sports, marijuana gyms, and even Miley Cyrus, whose performance took a dip without smoking.

This week the CannaSquad answers the mysterious question, “why is there still a black market when it’s legal?” Is it because consumers still demand it, or because home growers still supply it? Are there more benefits, or complications of buying illegally? Our awesome guest, Tim Cullen of Colorado Harvest Company and O.penVAPE describe what impacts the cannabis black market has on the legal cannabis companies.
As usual, we also have a new, honest product review and some major cannabis headlines.
This week on CannaPod, the squad discusses something we have never seen before…cannabis as a compound. Vape this compound and you’ll want to conquer the world! Of course when you discuss cannabis as a compound, you also have to talk about medical marijuana. Our guest, Josh Haupt, describes his personal experience with medical marijuana. He has completely replaced his epilepsy medications with medical cannabis, which may be another reason why he has become a pro marijuana cultivator. He truly cares about the growth and health of the plant, because he understands and values the medicinal benefits.
