US Chamber of Cannabis Podcast

Not all chemicals are created equal - and not all cannabinoids are made in the same day. Some start early, and some take time to ripen - and so today we are here to look at the first Cannabinoids, CBG and CBC, that the Cannabis plant grows in the trichome head and ask: What do they do for the plant? What do they do for humans? And do they get you high - and can the keep you young? Tune in and find...

This is the Curious tale of the International House of Cannabis.  It's a weed Church you can go to and worship marijuana.

Live Resin Products are considered to be clean, pure, and tasty - but not all is as it seems... Recently, a grower/processor released information on their *NEW* live resin cartridges and they said they added something into it to help...and it wasn't more terpenes?! Then what the hell is in my cart?  What does Live Resin really mean if they can put in additives?  And why do Dabs seem hit harde...

In such a subjective world like Cannabis, there are basically no standards.  When curious folks start exploring different areas of products, potencies and styles, issues can occur if you don't understanding where to begin.   You may be able to judge the amount of flower to roll up, but then you see a fat dab and feel like there's no way it looks like enough (and its actually too much), a...

Cannabis has been around for a long long time, but cannabis science is very young.  As labs find new relationships between marijuana tests and rats, we ache for better data based on humans.   The human Endocannabinoid System includes CB1 and CB2 receptors, and now it seems thy gotta make space at the table because testing is pointing to a third potential cannabinoid receptor - CB3 - and it is shar...

Variety is the strength of Marijuana.  It may be in the variety of the products and strains, as well as the variety in ways to consume and resulting effects. But when a lab tries to figure out why, they come up with nothing... Remember, I do enjoy science and the pursuit of investigation, but that doesn't mean that all science is pure in its exhibition.  There have been many instances in hist...

After 4 weeks, The Cannabis Professor received the second Moderna Shot... But we have many more questions than answers - for instance - What kind of Superpower did you get? Do you get COVID from the Vaccine? How much did it cost? How bad were the symptoms? Can you do anything to help out the reaction? Were you able to work? Were you able to sleep? Can you still taste that skunky bud? Well friends,...

After 20 years of using Marijuana, the Cannabis Professor finally was able to buy his first legal recreational weed through the Illinois Adult Use Recreational Program. But not all is as it seems... Access sounds wonderful, but paying near 100$ for an 1/8th of Cannabis flower will trigger most people I know into leaving faster then they arrived.  Edibles are great - but not if they are priced like...

Did you know there is a type of THC that's legal and gets you high?   Welcome to the Delta 8 THC experiment!  The 2018 Farm bill outlined what legal use of Hemp and marijuana really means, and it seems they may have been a tad hasty - because due to a potential loophole you can still get high on what some are calling 'WEED LITE'.   But before you order a year's supply of Delta...

As the COVID Vaccines roll out, there are a lot of questions about what to do, what to think, and what to value.   The internet provides, but at this point it seems to provide more BS than factual evidence. So on today's episode, your Host, Scott G, will go over the main points of what each style vaccine entails, what eligibility stages mean (1a 1b 1c). and also let you now the exact details...

The world runs on Dunkin, they say... But I'd wager, that the world rolls on Cannabis.  The real question at hand is - What would you give up first,  Cannabis or Coffee?  Which do you prefer to have on a desert island, and which one do you think the world needs more - or would give up less? This week, we have Keegan M. as a guest on the show - a PA dispensary manager and a Washington State na...
