Episodes

Leaf Life Show #78 - Cannabis Influencing Jewelry - Seattle 17.08.2020

The culture of Cannabis has an identity that is exemplified by the fashion that the community embodies. And as you look deeper into precious gems showcased in the bling and beyond, there is more to the connection than simply what we see. Explore with us the magical energy that draws us to these vibrant stones and understand one more facet to how we express our Cannabis roots by how we present ours...

Leaf Life Show #77 - Higher Consciousness - Seattle 09.08.2020

As sentient beings, there will always be the mystery of who and what we really are. Even if you are to study consciousness, you are still viewing your perception of it through the lens of your own consciousness, so can we ever understand a true account of what it is on the deepest level? And as we all know we have a form of consciousness, and how does Cannabis influence it? Tap into the frequency...

Leaf Life Show #76 - Pre-Election Tension Part 2: Get High And Vote - Seattle 04.08.2020

The future of this country is hanging in the balance, hinging on the impending presidential vote. And with social media having become the new way to govern, we now have access to politicians like never before. But why is there an objective to suppress votes and why isn't election day a national holiday? Well, if we all got high and communicated effectively en route to the voting booth, we could cr...

Leaf Life Show #75 - Defund The Police - Seattle 27.07.2020

There are differing opinions about what the Defund actually means, so it's important to clarify that eradicating the police force is not the goal of the people's demands. What the world needs is less police officers and more peace officers, where the slogan PROTECT AND SERVE is a proud statement that instills the feeling of safety rather than a hollow claim that creates bitterness. Relax, find a c...

Leaf Life Show #74 - Economic Recovery And Cannabis - Seattle 20.07.2020

The global economy is currently positioned atop a flimsy house of cards as many of the tax generating recources have diminished rapidly. Therefore, the US government will be forced to look to new ways to create revenue at a time when Cannabis is thriving. And some reflection to our history for guidance when a different type of prohibition that ended a hundred years ago wouldn't be a mistake. Turn...

Leaf Life Show #73 - Black Lives Matter - Seattle 13.07.2020

The Cannabis industry is a microcosm of the American movement that is gripping the attention of the world. Just as there is an alarming disparity between blacks and whites imprisoned for breaking existing Cannabis laws, so goes the inequality of minority ownership in the industry. So, to create the needed awareness that can equate to a positive shift in the system, we have brought two vibrant lead...

Leaf Life Show #72 - Cannabis Investment Fails - Seattle 06.07.2020

Since the beginning of the legal movement, numerous companies have gone public only to see their high priced Cannabis stocks drop like a Led Zepplin. So, for the average investor who wants to be in the game, how do you know which ones to trust? Well, you've come to the right place for a transparent overview to get you properly informed. So take a break from the ticker and hear some knowledgeable o...

Leaf Life Show #71 - Video Games And Cannabis - Seattle 29.06.2020

The act of escaping reality into a virtual world is always growing in popularity, and the gaming aspect of this has developed into a multi-billion dollar industry. And for anyone who has played video games while under the beautiful influence of Cannabis, you know there is a synergy that is unrivaled in just about every aspect of entertainment. Throw on your headset and immerse yourself into a cosm...

Leaf Life Show #70 - Bringing Your Kids To Work - Seattle 22.06.2020

The pandemic has shifted priorities and mindsets surrounding Cannabis jobs. We all know now that Cannabis has been deemed essential business on the west coast of the united states, bringing us into a new era of acceptance. And this is a watershed moment for the people who make the industry tick. Have a seat on the couch to feel the positivity of some farmers who have now had the legal opportunity...

Leaf Life Show #69 - Cannabis And Hiking - Spokane 15.06.2020

When it comes to one of the world's most enlightening activities, there's more to just lighting up and hitting the trail. Science has shown that the forest therapy has positive effects on the human psyche, and of course exercise improves body health. Then, when you combine these elements with our favorite way to accentuate the day, what you get is a match that literally gets you closer to heaven....

Leaf Life Show #68 - The Profession Of Budtending - Spokane 09.06.2020

One of the most imperative functions in the Cannabis industry is the interaction that takes place between the business and the buyer. And the importance of the people who encompass the role of not only educator, but part time therapist as well, is underrated. So, we chose to showcase some of the vital aspects of this function through a few of the people who have experienced it first hand. Get your...

Leaf Life Show #67 - Weed And Dieting - Seattle 01.06.2020

For at least 50 years, the common perception of Cannabis has been that it turns you into a red eyed, cake eating Cookie Monster. But when used as a medicine, this isn't such a bad thing. What most people don't realize, however, is that particular cannabinoids, terpenes, and distinct combinations of them can also suppress your appetite. So, get a look into the Leaf Life cupboard for interesting ins...

Leaf Life Show #66 - Pre-Election Tension Part 1: Where's Cannabis? - Seattle 25.05.2020

As we face what is certain to be the most important election in the history of the world, people are living with heaps of uncertainty. And we all know that the anxiety is warranted. So, with Cannabis deemed "essential business" in legal states, why is no one talking about it on the campaign trail? Tune in with us for a classic debate about why this lightning rod of a topic is being relatively igno...

Leaf Life Show #65 - The Timeline For Legalization - Seattle 18.05.2020

Legalizing Cannabis will not be as simple as it may appear. Indeed, there's no denying that we can all sense the end of prohibition nearing, but when can we expect for that to happen? And if it were as easy as flicking on a light switch, why hasn't it already been instituted? Well, there are many hurdles to jump and entities to appease because, as we've learned throughout history, money is what dr...

Leaf Life Show #64 - Coronavirus Crisis Part 4: It's Ok To Freak Out! - Seattle 11.05.2020

Hang out with us for a minute and let's calm one another's nerves in understanding that change is often uncomfortable, yet...

Leaf Life Show #63 - The Problem with Idaho - Spokane 04.05.2020

Out of all 50 states, there is one that is notoriously, yet surprisingly, the most conservative. And that is the state of… you guessed it from the title of the show. Because this seems so odd for a state surrounded by other states with legalized Cannabis, we decided to explore. No, we did not enter the forbidden zone and risk our freedom, but we did set up just in front of the border to discuss th...

Leaf Life Show #62 - High Times With Danny Danko - Honolulu 27.04.2020

Very few people on the globe can make the claim of twenty year Cannabis journalist and Danny Danko is that rare, pedigreed individual. In his tenure at HIGH TIMES magazine, he's been able to maintain a compassionate, gentle view on the plant while also navigating the realities of the business. Have a seat on the couch while we take this unique opportunity to reflect on his years with High Times Ma...

Leaf Life Show #61 - Coronavirus Crisis Part 3: Essential Business - Seattle 20.04.2020

For years Cannabis people have insisted upon validation. And through all the literal trials and tribulations it seems ironic that those in control should, at a time of crisis, finally officially recognize it as essential to our health and wellness. But therein lies a caveat. Has Cannabis been deemed essential business because Uncle Sam believes that we should be happy, or that he loves cashing tha...

Leaf Life Show #60 - Coronavirus crisis Part 2: Coronaspiracy - Seattle 13.04.2020

CORONAVIRUS CRISIS: PART 2 -SEATTLE If anyone should be suspect of hidden government agendas, it's the Cannabists. So, as publishers of the country's leading periodical on the favored flower, we felt obligated to lend our perspective as experts in the field and take a hard look at the narrative of the current Coronavirus situation from the inside out. Because if it looks like shit and it smells li...

Leaf Life Show #59 - A Modern History w/ Bobby Black of High Times - SEATTLE 06.04.2020

The fact that Cannabis has been used for thousands of years is proven by having been found in ancient tombs. Contemporary society had been utilizing it, and hemp, for medical and practical purposes up until it's illegalization until the advent of prohibition. So what happened? Tune in to find out from one the industry's leading historians, Bobby Black, former Senior Editor of High Times Magazine....

Leaf Life Show #58 (#32 Re-run) - CANNA-SPIRACIES - Orlando 31.03.2020

SO, WITH THE DEEPEST RESPECT TO OUR BRETHREN, ENJOY THIS SHOW WITH A FRESH MIND AS THIS CONTENT HAS NEVER BEEN MORE VITAL THAN IT IS NOW IN OUR CURRENT MAE...

Leaf Life Show #57 - Coronavirus Crisis? Part 1 - Seattle 23.03.2020

Leaf Life Show #56 - Cannabis And Surfing - Honolulu 16.03.2020

In one of the world's most adrenaline filled sports, Cannabis plays a key role for many of the athletes. So it made a lot of sense for us to get some heavy Bonzai Pipeline riders to open up about how it powers their passion as well as aiding in muscle recovery when the surf session is over. Transport your mind to the inside of blue aquabarrel and catch a first hand glimpse into what it's like to h...

Leaf Life Show #55 - Hawai'i Cannabis - Honolulu 09.03.2020
