From the publisher

I share my passion about cannabis in every episode of The Cannabis Potcast, exploring a Canadian's cannabis culture, one toke at a time. Through personal stories, conversations with fellow cannabis enthusiasts, and current news about the ever changing landscape, it is a potcast where you'll learn a little, laugh a little and who knows, you may even get a buzz.

Ep 240I've had a blast - one toke at a time

I have one very appropriate story on what defines a stoner. We make our last stop on Cultivar Corner, brought to you by Up In Smoke, and Matt joins me from his front porch to sample Triangle Queen from Sweetgrass cannabis.The definition of a stonerIan's Abelton DevicesSweetgrass Triangle Queen Offer a thank you Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
