Episodes

Leaf Life Show #152 - Caffeine and Cannabis - Seattle 31.01.2022

Easily one of the most controversial drugs in existence, there's no denying that we have a real love/hate relationship with this stimulating substance. Then when you mix it with our favorite mind-altering plant, you've got the Hippie Speedball. But is this combination as good of a thing as we think it is? Brew it up with us as we have fun with a couple of the world's favorite drugs.   Subject disc...

Leaf Life Show #151 - Overcoming Disabilities with Cannabis - Seattle 24.01.2022

One in four people in the United States alone lives with a handicap that makes navigating life very challenging.

Join us for a lively discussion on how evolving our perception is the key to living a meaningful life.   Subject discussed in the second seg...

Leaf Life Show #150 - Solventless Hash Rosin - Seattle 17.01.2022

Bust out the dab rig and together let's inhale the finest vapor in the world.   Subject discussed in the first segment: WHAT IS SOLVENTLESS? Subject discussed in the second...

Leaf Life Show #149 - Kratom - Seattle 10.01.2022

There is an emerging plant medicine available now that has the potential to change our prescription-based society much in the way that Cannabis has. Most likely you have seen it advertised driving past your local head shop, but you don't really have any idea what it is or how it can change your life for the better. Let's get international as we explore the benefits of a real up-and-comer in the pa...

Leaf Life Show #148 - Eating Insects - Seattle 03.01.2022

With the environment heading down a potentially dangerous path, we need to explore alternative options for feeding the billions of people on this planet. So, as scientists look to new methods for producing sustainable protein, bugs have become a serious part of the conversation. Roll up a jay and bust out the good dishware for a fascinating look at how we can improve our own lives as well as those...

Leaf Life Show #147 - Weed and Slang - Seattle 27.12.2021

 Language is a tricky thing because to understand your culture is to continuously evolve with words that can take on completely different meanings as generations change. And in the past 100 years, many of the terms used around Cannabis have become a part of the current social pantheon. Fire up a J and join us for a fun look at how cray we've become!   Subject discussed in the first segment: WHY IS...

Leaf Life Show #146 - Moral Dilemmas - Seattle 20.12.2021

Well before Nathanial Hawthorne epitomized a tale of shame in his novel The Scarlett Letter in the year 1850, people have been guilted for choosing practices not condoned by the righteous lot. We all live with some form of guilt on many different levels in life, but does using Cannabis really have to be one of them? Rise up with The Leaf Life Podcast to live our truth with the understanding that w...

Leaf Life Show #145 - The Mids - Seattle 13.12.2021

Due to modern technology and innovative practices increasing the speed and efficiency of Cannabis production, we will soon see big corporations growing on a much larger scale. And like any other industry where profits supersede quality, what seems inevitable, like it or not, is a wider acceptance of mediocrity as it sadly becomes the standard. Crack open a doob tube and let's explore one of the "n...

Leaf Life Show #144 - All About Edibles - Seattle 06.12.2021

People have different preferences when it comes to consuming Cannabis. And it's no surprise because everyone's body reacts uniquely to the terpenes and Cannabinoids and how they affect your brain and body. But why does eating the plant provide a different experience than inhaling it? Take a bite out of your day to have some fun with the most discreet way to consume Cannabis!   Subject discussed in...

Leaf Life Show #143 - The Fast Food Show - Seattle 29.11.2021

There's no one on the planet that doesn't love quick and easy access to food, but if you look behind the irresistible array of munchies galore, you'll see a mindfully choreographed strategy that is intended to take advantage of your weakest senses while slowly sending your mortal coil to the great value menu in the sky. Supersize your day with this fun exploration into how convenient access to foo...

Leaf Life Show #142 - Psilocybin - Seattle 22.11.2021

The word decriminalization became very resonant in the past year, and largely due to the acceptance of mushrooms and other plants being recognized by some American cities as useful medicine. And as with Cannabis, so many of the beneficial mysteries are still locked inside these magic mind expanders waiting to be discovered for a happier, more present life. Trip away with us to discover how you can...

Leaf Life Show #141 - Me, Myself, and High - Seattle 15.11.2021

Due to the wide spectrum of Cannabinoid profiles that differ from plant to plant, the individual experience when introduced into the body often varies from person to person. For many, there are no limits to the enjoyment that Cannabis offers, but for others, being stoned means being extremely self-aware, which equates to absolute torture. Come out of your shell and join us as we explore the wonder...

Leaf Life Show #140 - Peace and War - Seattle 08.11.2021

You've heard the term before—he who controls the message controls the people--and as you look around at the geopolitical landscape, more often than not the media message is war. But as we continue to emerge awakened in the age of Aquarius, why are we investing so heavily in territorialism and not community? Grab your sign and let's hit the streets to come together with the voice that says there is...

Leaf Life Show #139 - The Shaft Act - Seattle 01.11.2021

S.H.A.F.T. is an acronym for Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms and Tobacco and it outlines the categories of text messages that can't be sent by a business due to moral and legal issues. Now, some customers really like to get advertisements via text and there's no law on the books for regulating how Cannabis is included. However, the carriers of this service are taking matters into their own hands whic...

Leaf Life Show #138 - Cannabis and Hip Hop - Seattle 25.10.2021

In the constantly changing landscape of today's music genres, rap lyrics arguably best describe these times in which we live. Mainstream media news outlets and social media do not convey a message that truly represents reality, so when future historians look back at the voices that best define who we are and what we're about, they will look to the artists as the documentarians who got it right. Fi...

Leaf Life Show #137 - The Mandates - Seattle 18.10.2021

There is not a bigger hot button issue right now than the Covid vaccine, so it's time we opened the conversation. Now, everyone has their opinion on whether they feel they need and are comfortable with getting the jab. However, opinions aside, as we are told that taking the shot is voluntary, we are also being told we won't have access to private businesses if we don't take it. So, at what point d...

Leaf Life Show #136 - Non-Fungible Tokens - Seattle 11.10.2021
Leaf Life Show #135 - Porn and Cannabis - Seattle 04.10.2021

Like it or not, gratuitous sex plays a big role in an ordered society. And when you trace back through the events that have made the legalization of Cannabis possible, there is no denying that people like Larry Flint and Hugh Heffner helped pave the way. So, when you really explore the reasons why we have freedom of expression, without including the provocative subject of erotica, the conversation...

Leaf Life Show #134 - Old School Hash - Seattle 27.09.2021
Leaf Life Show #133 - Cannabis Events - Seattle 20.09.2021

Now that the masks have come off, everyone is eager to spread their wings and share some joints. But as the world evolves with new technology and a new perspective on socializing, where will the culture of weed take its place in the evolving world of entertainment? Grab your golden ticket and let's socialize, because that's what people love to do!   Subject discussed in the first segment: IMMERSIV...

Leaf Life Show #132 - Houselessness - Seattle 06.09.2021

With the world's population consistently growing, so does the competition for a place on the map. And while the mounting pressures of simple survival takes a toll on the psyche, thousands of people are forced from their sanctuaries into the lonely and frightening streets. And what most of us don't realize is that many of these are regular folks we've known along the way. Pull up a chair and let's...

Leaf Life Show #131 - Online Shopping - Seattle 30.08.2021

With the pandemic ushering in a new normal for people, our focus is shifting from in-store purchasing to home delivery methods for acquiring our daily necessities and beyond. And as our habits become more geared toward having access to the world's marketplace with the push of a button on your screen, we of course have to ask the question, why not weed? See what's inside the box as we wonder if get...

Leaf Life Show #130 - Cannabis and Scams - Seattle 23.08.2021

As with any industry filled with cash and opportunity, the get-rich-quick scheme will always play a part. And in this Cannabiz, there is a long list of sad investors who have been left holding a very depleted bank statement as the charlatans fly private to a foreign land where they will enjoy the fruits of their shell-shocked partner's labors. Pull back the curtain to get a full view of some of th...

Leaf Life Show #129 - Cannabis Packaging - Seattle 16.08.2021

For anyone who has ever spent their hard-earned money on weed, you know that there are some great products that are poorly branded and some amazing products that are beautifully branded. Either way, appearances are largely all we have to go on in markets like Washington (our home state) where you cannot open and inspect the goods. Tear open the shrink wrap and join us for an informative look into...

Leaf Life Show #128 - Energy Stones - Seattle 09.08.2021

Cannabis users love crystals. And whether you would utilize their energy for recharging your chakras in the moonlight or simply because a particular piece of earth gives positive meaning to your life symbolically, rocks are the great revealers of a secret life beyond words. Come energize with us on a cellular level and feel the vibration of positivity emanating from this giant rock on which we rid...
