Elise McDonough from High Times is joining us on this episode to talk about a huge range of cannabis topics, from the “fun” culture of cannabis cuisine, to reasons why cannabis should be considered a preventative medicine. We’re talking about the moment in history that we find ourselves in, what the trajectory looks like, and why it looks like we’re at a tipping point. Enjoy!
Main Points:
Fun is often one of the most important ingredients in cannabis cooking culture
Early on, “beyond the brownie” was an important distinction for cannabis cuisine
Cannabis should be looked at and used almost as if it were any other ingredient
We’re at a tipping point where enough people have seen the benefits of cannabis, to where the overall impression is changing
Each cannabis strain is a unique medicine, and we’re just starting to figure that out
There’s a push to demonize one aspect of cannabis, when the whole plant is the most effective
Cannabis needs to be looked at carefully as a preventative medicine as well
It’s important to let people know about microdosing and non-psychoactive ways of taking cannabis
