7 NOV 2024 · This week's stories:
- During her push to legalize adult-use in Florida, Kim Rivers CEO of Trulieve (FL's biggest dispensary chain) was caught lying about 'laced' illicit weed and non-existant police tech for testing cannabis flower. Days later, as we found out mid-recording, Florida's Amendment 3 failed to pass. As Jackie Bryant reports, that's $150mm up in smoke for Trulieve!
- We dig into a discussion about 'mids,' those less-desirable weed options, and why not all mids are created equal. From bricks to schwag to smalls, Rachelle Gordon asks if it's simply all about how we categorize and appreciate our vast world of flower.
- Cannabis art has really hit the mainstream this week. Ellen Holland talks about cannabis photographer Chris Romaine of Washington, who has put trichomes on the map in a huge way, placing 3rd at the 50th annual Nikon Small World Competition 2024.
- And our very own military wife Brit Smith marks Veteran's Day with a story about how her husband navigates medical marijuana and the VA, what studies say about THC for PTSD, and how bud can help veterans with dreams, social situations, and pain.
