Cannabis Goldsmith - A Show About Art and Design

If you are feeling like you have experienced this unsettled time before, you have! Mad kings are an archetype. I talk about the mad kings who have appeared throughout human history to cause havoc and how they met their unfortunate ends. I also check to see if any art at all gets produced during the reign of insane kings and if that art still exists today. Our Sterling Silver Grinders are amazing!...

This is a warning to artists, designers, creatives and makers all over the world. You've probably seen what the US President has done to Canada and Mexico over the last few weeks, ripping up the very free trade agreement he renegotiated and signed with our two countries. He attacked Canada economically. He declared war, a kind of economic terrorism. He insulted Canada and Canadians and continu...

I have some tips on coping with the new America. Respect is hard to earn but is so easily lost. Snoop, internationally recognized cannabis ambassador, musician, and self-acknowledged hater of Donald Trump, the dude who called anyone who performed at the first inauguration for Trump an "Uncle Tom" (and worse!), gets down on both knees to gig at this year's inauguration. No, not on the...

The giant orange anvil hanging over the world is set to drop on Monday and everyone is feeling it already, especially us artists who feel everything. I talk about the excellent work of Gary Bunt, who made me cry, in a good kind of way. Check out the terrific paintings of Gary Bunt: https://www.garybuntart.com/ TRIBE - The World's Luxury Cannabis Jeweler https://tribe.ca Send an email to alexd@cann...

You are alone in a tiny 2-door Opel Corsa Lite hatchback on a dirt road in Africa. There is no cell service. A huge bull elephant is charging toward you with black crap coming out of its eyes. Also, Zuck evokes the onion-chomping Balkan Breakfast dude for his new personal style. See our amazing Magician dab instrument and if you are American you should order it b4 tariff day, to save 25%: https://...

Happy New Year! It’s our 100th episode! I talk about the big jewelry heist in London and the many smash and grab robberies hitting jewelry retail stores in North America. Retail countermeasures developed in South Africa in the 1980’s can provide some solutions for retail protection today. Pictures of Jewelry stolen in the London burglary are here (photo credit: Met Police): https://news.met.police...

Our Prime Minister has run away from his responsibility and is hiding out until January 27 to “reflect on his own future as leader” as the Trump 25% tariff freight train hits Canada on January 20. The Trudeau finance minister dropped a scathing resignation letter blaming him for the financial issues facing Canada and for misleading Canadians, on the day she was supposed to table and read the budge...

Christmas is a hard time for many, especially those who have just given up drugs or alcohol. If you have nothing, there will likely be a good Christmas dinner, for free, somewhere in your community. If you can afford it, give back to your community with time or money. I talk about how terrifying it was to be newly sober at Christmas in 1989, and how Christmas 2024 is completely different.   A Chri...

We must stand up for our own country as Canadians. We must stand up for our interests and businesses. Those Canadians who think we are better off becoming the 51st state are traitors and should leave Canada now. The Trudeau government has failed us, they claim Trump’s new tariff scheme and annexation is a joke and not real. They are lying to us. Canadians must prepare now for the next US governmen...

Now that the US election is over and Trump has decided to threaten Canada with 25% tariff’s ‘on everything’, what are small Canadian businesses to do? I talk about how I will be trying to grow our markets away from the United States and into Europe next year to avoid the friction, tariffs, and political insanity south of the border. It will only get worse, and we are not the only business looking...

I was at the largest Christmas craft show in our local area and saw the Janet Stark Hand Made Coats booth. Her coats blew my mind! The colors! The impeccable stitching! The Canadian themes! The next level wool upscaling! Excellent Canadian design! Janet sells via her facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/JanetsArtisanCoats There seems to be a design or software flaw in the Nikon Z8 that pre...

With the election over and all hell about to break loose in the USA and the world, what can we artists do to survive? How can we survive and thrive as artists and creators in the new reality? Hey, I’m making a limited number of Sterling Silver hockey sticks. They are ideal Christmas gifts for hockey fans. Email me directly and I'll make one for you. You can see what these miniature sticks look lik...

I think much of the recent turmoil in the US political system and the re-election of Trump is a result of the collapse of Hollywood and its myth building and storytelling capacity. Hollywood was a factory that inspired patriotism with national stories and symbols. It projected the appearance of US dominance to the world. It was cultural industry that plastered American flags throughout, even thoug...

The best advice I ever got in life was to learn something new every day. Currently learning mold making and raw video recording for documentary film making...

My two week effort to drive the red squirrel out of the attic has failed. I've tried blasting club tracks at him through JBL loudspeakers and peppermint oil spray. Harry thinks it's Ibiza. Also, don't take the weed you buy at your dispensary for granted - a lot went into that bud you are breaking up with your fingers. Think of the farmers who grew it this Croptober.

Can't sleep? It's politics. I don't want to talk about politics on this podcast but here I am at 3am, high on edibles that were supposed to help me sleep. The US election? Trudeau accusing the government of India of murdering Canadians on Canadian soil? Do we believe him or not? Canadian media has now become 'state media' because what remains of MSM in Canada is government funded. Who should we tr...

My visit to the Gananoque Art Fest! I talk about the news that Tokyo Smoke, one of Canada's largest and most glitzy participants in Canada's legal cannabis sector, is going under as the sector matures. I describe the experience of buying cannabis at a legal store in Canada so you'll know what it's like if you are a tourist or if you have never been inside a Canadian legal cannabis...

Your local art store is different than a chain art store. A local art store is a community building hub that supports local artists. Maybe it provides a gallery wall, tips and suggestions, or a place to meet other artists in real life. I talk about the excellent Medium Effort art store in Brockville Ontario, and the Above Ground art supply store in Toronto in this episode. TRIBE is a custom jewelr...
