Leaf Life Show #101 - Insuring Your Weed - Seattle 01.02.2021 41:33
Many of the world's largest insurance companies doubled their revenue since the beginning of the pandemic. We pay out the nose to ensure ourselves in the event that calamity might bankrupt us.

Turn off the TV a...

Leaf Life Show #91- Post Election Exhale Part 1: The New States - Seattle 17.11.2020 38:22
Now that the pre-election tension is behind us, it's time to take a big bonghit and focus our attention on some of the positives that came as a result of the vote.

Pop a cork with us to celebrate this huge step in the direction of normalization and learn what this means for us moving toward a f...
Leaf Life Show #90 - Wealth And Inequality - Seattle 09.11.2020 38:39
The biggest threat to our species next to global warming is the widening of socioeconomic classes and the glorification of the people who are creating the dichotomy. Some will call our current system the modern genesis of slavery. And how long will it be until we see the first Cannabis billionaires and how will that affect you and me? Light up a stogie (of the green kind) and lets fill the room wi...
Leaf Life Show #89 - Death of a Trade Show - Seattle 02.11.2020 40:44
When the reckless investments of the Green Rush hit around 2016, money was pouring into the Cannabis industry and trade shows were a plentiful place for flush companies to show off their wares. The idea was to gain market share as quickly as possible and beat the pack to the finish line. Well, since federal legalization never happened and profits became scarce, the investment capital began to dry...
Leaf Life Show #88 - High Fashion - Seattle 26.10.2020 39:48
So much of art and culture has been influenced by Cannabis over the years behind the scenes, but now that we live in a time of normalization for the plant, how are artists directly applying the influence into their creations?

Leaf Life Show #87 - Pets And Cannabis - Seattle 19.10.2020 40:07
There's no question that hemp derived CBD is good for animals and we know that because animals ate wild hemp for centuries leading up to Cannabis prohibition.

Leaf Life Show #86 - Fear And The Media - Seattle 12.10.2020 40:19
The days of a family convening in front of the television for their daily nightly news from a reputable source is a thing of the past. News, as we know it now, has moved from a product of accountability to a product of entertainment. And the unfolding drama that is fed to reinforce our biases benefits the powerful who intend to maintain control, but not the people who consume the messages. Grab a...
Leaf Life Show #85 - Sobriety And Cannabis - Seattle 05.10.2020 38:36
For years we have shamed people for addiction, and in turn, lacking a moral compass. But we have to ask ourselves, is it our fault for wanting the drugs, or is it our fault for placing our trust in the system that over-prescribes them? And with new alternative medicines like psychedelics being utilized for clearing the receptors that keep us self-medicating, where does Cannabis fit in to this equa...

Leaf Life Show #79 - The Schedule 1 Drug - Seattle 24.08.2020 41:15
Cannabis is classified by the US government in the same category as heroin, LSD, Ecstasy and Bath Salts. The characteristics of a Schedule 1 drug have to qualify it as having a high potential for abuse as well as having no accepted medical treatment. Yet, Cannabis has been decriminalized in 42 states while the government holds the patent for medicinal values of cannabinoids. Hello?! Peer into a da...
