We just had an incredible time at Saint George Mansion, with some of the most influential minds from Mr. Wraptors to JB Always Fresh which united the changemakers in our great city of Toronto. The night brought diverse minds together to network and collaborate on new initiatives.

So, why do I tell you all about this special night…Millionaire mansions do exist and its not about the money but the network you can foster and create because we cant do everything ourselves and its okay to ask for help.

There is still more to unpack when it comes to the letter that was sent from HHS to the DEA that we spoke about in the last episode.

On the last couple episodes of Cannabis Related, I have been talking about the recommendations from the Human Health Services to the DEA in regards to rescheduling of Cannabis so definitely go check those out. Before I dive into those recommendations further on this episode, let’s discuss a lighter topic, friendship. There is nothing wrong with having a large network but having those close friends that you can lean in is so important. We don’t have the time on this planet to surround ourselves with negative people or to be consumed by negative thoughts.

A lot of people are focused on the “Highest THC” when they are going about purchasing Cannabis. Sometimes depending on the brand, the number displayed can be a little misleading. We should continue to move away from just focusing on levels of THC and try to understand the experience you can get from different products. I also have a consumer jumping on the show today to talk about his experiences with Cannabis. Originally from Nebraska, he speaks on what it’s like to move somewhere where the consumption of recreational Cannabis is legal.

Welcome back to Cannabis Related the pod! On today’s episode let’s talk about the accessibility of Cannabis. What was it like back in the day to get Cannabis? Almost everybody knew of somebody who had access but it wasn’t always easy to get your hands on it. It is crazy to think how much people were scrutinized for having it because it really isn’t a dangerous thing. There was really a lack of reference to what good weed was or different types of flower back in the day. What are some different pros and cons from the old school way of getting Cannabis compared to where we are at today?

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you traveled with Cannabis to a place where it is not allowed? Many people forget that in the US you are prohibited to travel with Cannabis across state lines. Even for Canadians, make sure you don’t travel out of the country with Cannabis even if you may be headed somewhere where it is federally legal. In this episode I will give you everything you need to be aware of when it comes to these travel related restrictions. We all remember what unfortunately happened to Brittney Griner when she was out of the country.

If you are in the Cannabis industry you are going to want to be there. If you want that VIP access you are going to have to spend some money but can you put on a price on this type of networking?
