1:00 -- Is designer weed and the obsession with THC in the legal market incentivizing reduced biodiversity in the plant, causing a ‘Bottlenecking Of Cannabis Genetics'? A new study found that while humans have selectively bred cannabis for thousands of years, breeders in the “post-prohibition” era are optimizing plants for a handful of desirable traits... which sounds great for us now, but is it putting barriers up for future products? Are we getting too into individual cannabinoids?

22:00 - Allowing and banning certain cannabinoids from hemp isn't going well. States like CA and TX are trying to reform the so-called hemp loopholes from the 2018 Farm Bill, because isolated cannabinoids (that have been legally sold for 7 years) are now scaring politicians, like CBD and THCA. Should hemp and cannabis be on the same side politically? Should hemp be available at dispensaries, or more open places like farmers markets? And what will states do when it comes to restricting access to these hemp products?

28:30 - It's been a stressful first half of the 2025 -- making it the perfect time to reflect on what we're doing for our mental health, and how weed plays into it. We talk about smoking and walking in nature, exploring historical buildings, celebrating Pride in the streets, listening to music, high karaoke, yoga, using CBD lotion, and meditating outside.

1:00 -- Judging cannabis competitions is never easy work, but somebody's gotta do it. Ellen, Jackie, Brit and Sara discuss what cups and categories they're judging this year, what they look for in an entry, and Ellen has a top judging tip from growing mentor Ed Rosenthal.

18:00 -- Looks like Kacey Musgraves has officially picked back up her gravity bong! Celebrity stoners often sway public opinion on weed. Jackie Bryant leads a conversation about how country singer Kacey Musgraves has gone from bedside gravity bongs to self-stigmatizing lyrics to announcing total abstinence and back again, and why celeb consumption matters for the progress of the culture.

34:00 -- And growing season is upon us! A quick check-in on who's growing their own plants at home this year, and how dedicated they're aiming to be. Or not. Whatever.

1:00 -- Minnesota lawmakers have gotten rid of an old law that made bong water illegal?! Ellen Holland expands on why it was ever written into policy.

7:50 -- Parents know kids can be a lot of work. Caretakers who toke are doing the only sane thing to get through it all! Brit Smith and Jackie Bryant discuss the relief a small smoke can bring once the kids go to bed.

12:00 -- Texas lawmakers have passed a bill to ban all THC, even from hemp, kneecapping a huge $8bn state industry and upsetting veterans and farmers. It'll go into effect in September unless Governor Abbott vetoes the legislation. But Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick had a reefer madness meltdown at a press conference this week, decrying hemp as a deadly drug and urging the governor to pass the law to ban it. The fight is on!

19:40 -- Texans are also about to get an expanded medical cannabis program, thanks to another bill that just passed both Houses -- so wait, is valuable THC medicine or a dangerous drug? And is it possible that a Multi-State Operator (MSO) is trying to get rid of Texas hemp so the medical market can take over? We discuss!

• Two months into a new U.S. government, the vibes in legal weed and psychedelic communities are tense. Jackie Bryant discusses widespread concerns of re-illegality and the likelihood of tokers being pushed back underground.
• New technology has changed the growing and dab games for sure (laser bong anyone?!) but where do technology and AI really belong in the cannabis world? Rachelle Gordon asks what we love and hate about the newest high-tech highs.
• Settle down for story time, as Ellen Holland reads her latest piece on smoking in Spain with weed legends Ed Rosenthal, Mila the Hash Queen, the Dank Duchess, Box Brown and more, and asks us about the coolest rooms cannabis has put us all in.
  
  
• And we review this year's Spannabis event in nothern Spain, as Sara Payan gets into how Barcelona's historic counterculture makes it the perfect setting for the biggest cannabis conference in Europe.
