CannaBlogger's Corner

This past week, my wife and I went to visit my family in Pennsylvania and got a lot more than we bargained for. CannaBlogger’s Corner is sponsored by: Better Homes with Cannabis . Yani Amaya, the Hazey Lioness , has taken her cannabis photography to another level by using it in a stylish home décor design that would look fabulous in any home. This isn’t a Marley poster in your dorm room; Better Ho...

I've been absent a few weeks, so I wanted to talk with all of you and catch you up on what's been going on in my world. I've been struggling pretty hard, but I'm not quite ready to go on the cart just yet. CannaBlogger’s Corner is sponsored by: Better Homes with Cannabis . Yani Amaya, the Hazey Lioness , has taken her cannabis photography to another level by using it in a stylish home décor design...

This week, I had the privilege of welcome Samantha Smith , Head of Customer Success at Regrow, to my corner. Sam is passionately advocating to bring the cannabis industry into the mainstream corporate marketplace. Eww. OK, I know I said the bad "c" word ("corporate"), but please hear me out for a minute. Sam isn't one of those corporate suits out to swallow up grows and take advantage of those who...

Welcome to another episode of CannaBlogger's Corner! Thank you so much for joining me this week for the latest installment of our w0lfpack h0wl! series. We've been introducing new w0lfpack creators and their products each month, and I'm really stoked for this month's product. Honestly, it's one of those products that's so simple, yet so fucking genius. So, what is it? This month, @Baked_Babie intr...

" What's in a name? that which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. " William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet , Act 2 Scene 2 What is in a name? Lately, more than Mr. Shakespeare would think. Our name is our identity; it's how we tell people who we are. Since 2019, Columbia Care sought to provide cannabis consumers here in San Diego with the best products to fit their needs. A...

Welcome back to another episode of CannaBlogger’s Corner! This week, I was invited to get a behind-the-scenes look at Cannabist , the dispensary formerly known as Columbia Care, in PB. They’re one of the many San Diego businesses that took the opportunity during the pandemic to reinvent themselves. I got to chat with their head of marketing and community outreach, Carolyn Kates, about their house...

Welcome back to another episode of CannaBlogger’s Corner! You might remember back in March, I had the pleasure of speaking with Sara Astudillo about, among other things, her Taking the Trash Out initiative. For those of you who need to go back and listen to it again, she is taking the idea of a local community clean-up to the next level. She doesn’t just pick up trash and toss it; she and her dedi...

Welcome back to CannaBlogger’s Corner! Glad you could join me in my corner this week for our monthly w0lfpack special review episode. This month, I’m h0wling with Will and Shayna from the pack about the DotLeaf V1.5 Dry Herb Vaporizer . Full disclosure: I never tried a vaporizer before, so I was coming into this feeling like a real newb. Fortunately, I got to compare notes with Will and Shayna to...

Welcome to a special Comic-Con edition of CannaBlogger's Corner! This week, San Diego Comic-Con International co-founder and legendary animator/cartoonist Scott Shaw joins me to talk about Comic-Con, his epic career, and some obscure movies I haven't thought about in a long time.  If you're not familiar with Shaw's name, don't sweat it; most people aren't. But you have seen his work if you ev...

Welcome to another episode of CannaBlogger’s Corner! This week, Jeni Griffith is back in the corner to talk about her latest veterans’ support group she helped found, the UNFK Yourself Club (or just UNFK if you’re into the whole brevity thing), a “cannabis-friendly veteran-to-veteran support group.” Believe it or not, the 4th of July is not easy for a lot of veterans struggling with PTSD; we don’t...

Welcome to another episode of CannaBlogger’s Corner here on the YEW! Podcast Network. This week’s episode is the first in my collaboration with the super talented w0lfpack team of Creator’s. The first Creator to chill in my corner with me is Janae , who will be telling us all about the Stashlogix Dotsero Pocket Pouch (#PutAPocketInIt). Thoughtful, secure, and discreet, this is the perfect pocket-s...

My guest this week, Jackie Bryant , is one of my biggest influences. Her resume is extensive and impressive, with bylines in everything from SD City Beat to Playboy and everything in between. Look for Jackie’s work on UPROXX as well, where she recently became a staff contributor. I was thrilled to spend some time with Jackie in my corner talking about her newsletter, Cannabitch , her podcast of th...

You might recognize my guest’s voice if you ever turned on a radio in San Diego; from his days at 91X all the way to killing it as 100.7FM’s morning show host, Chris Cantore has been one of the most distinct voices to come across the airwaves. Unfortunately, he and his co-host, Meryl, were victims of what I like to call the Great San Diego Radio Station Purge of 2019. For those of you not familiar...

I am really excited about this week’s episode! CannaBlogger’s Corner and w0lfpack have teamed up to take over the cannabis industry. OK, maybe I’m exaggerating a little, but I’ve got Baylee Chapo (the “el Chapo” of the w0lfpack) back with me to help explain how we’ll be working together to bring you awesome content featuring w0lfpack creators from all over the U.S. We also get on our soapbox a lit...

This week’s episode is a two-fer. First, Alexia Bullard ( @Booklexia on Instagram ) and I are starting a monthly review segment. Each month, she and I are going to compare notes on some cannabis products. Sometimes, we might try the same thing; others, like this week, we each try something a little different. Think of us as the “Siskel and Ebert of cannabis.” This week, Alexia tried some Super Sil...

Hey, everybody! Welcome to Episode 26 of CannaBlogger’s Corner. This week’s episode is going to be a little different. I’ve planned a season finale of sorts to celebrate my first half-year of producing and hosting this podcast. First, I’d like to start with a review of CRU Cannabis ’s GMO Cookies, which is already one of my favorite strains. The folks at CRU really knocked it out of the park, and...

This week, I’m getting Pennsylvania White with Bryan Buckley from Helmand Valley Growers Company (or HVGC , if you’re into that whole brevity thing). We talk about how HVGC grew out of the Battle Brothers Foundation to produce their line of vape carts, whose profits go toward veterans’ cannabis research. I get to try one of their yummy new live resin carts, and it’s… well, just listen and find out...

On this week’s episode, I have the super talented Erica Eddy from the Canna Mom Gang chilling with me in the corner. You’ll get to hear about her hand-made cannabis accessory line, The Lit Hippie Co. , and just how much love she puts into each piece she creates. She also opens up about how much the Canna Mom Gang supports and uplifts each other, her wild and artistic family, and how much that fami...

This week, I’m switching things up a little. First, I did a solo review of Seth Rogen’s cannabis line, Houseplant , which he recently started selling in the U.S. I tried their Banana Belt, a cross between Banana OG and GMO, and I was… well, I guess you’ll have to listen to find out. Next, I get to fanboy a little over my guest, fellow cannablogger Alexia Bullard . We chat about her Booklexia Conte...

I hope everyone enjoyed their highest of holidays last week. Welcome to a special edition, special edish , if you will, episode of CannaBlogger’s Corner. I’m going to guess you’re like me in that you celebrate 4/20 the whole week, or at least again on 4/22 (because 4/22 is 4/20, too). That’s what I did this year when I was asked to attend The Gentleman Gorilla’s VIP Farmer’s Cup Judges Sesh on Apr...

Happy 4/20 week, Canna Fam! As we prepare to recognize our highest of holidays, Brittany Matthews (a.k.a.: @tittytoker on Instagram ) wants to get people together to do something special. Since this week is also Earth Day (4/22), which also happens to be her birthday, Brittany decided to hold a Birthday Bash Beach Cleanup. Each participant will go home with a goodie bag filled with some great prod...

I love art. Apart from cannabis, I can’t think of anything more therapeutic for me. That being said, this week’s episode is near and dear to my stoney little heart. This week, I had a virtual sesh with Doug Mau, the man behind the cannabis-themed pop art at High Art Studios . He and his six insanely talented artists take retro styles, like travel posters and mid-century modern Mad Men -styled ads...

On this week’s episode, I’m seshing with the brilliant mind behind the Taking the Trash Out initiative you heard about in one of our last episodes, Sara Astudillo (@seaweed710 ). She’s making it her mission to not only clean up the communities around us in San Diego but also change the way in which we do it. Her “zero footprint” clean-up concept shines a light on how we dispose of our trash and ga...

On this week’s episode, I’m having fun on a Sunday talking with Scarlett Dream about her new single, Trixie Ray Gun . Scarlett’s newest single, once again produced by the super-talented Beatsumishi , introduces us to Trixie and her thirst for out-of-this-world adventures. You’ll hear about how the single grew from a throw-away idea into a Dream Pop thrill ride with the help of lyricist Noah Chen ....

On this week’s episode, I appear to be continuing the series of seshing with longtime IG friends. This week, I’m seshing and chatting with Cuqui Huerta and her partner, Colin Wells . Cuqui is the host of “ The Cuqui Show ” on Instagram Live along with her co-host and former CannaBlogger’s Corner guest, Rhiannon “Maybee.” Colin is the founder of Veterans Walk and Talk , a veterans’ support program...
