In this summer-kickoff episode of Cannabis Man, host Don Kleppin celebrates Memorial Day weekend, his birthday, and the third anniversary of the podcast. He shares favorite warm-weather traditions, plans for the weekend, and reviews a new Mandarin Pomelo THC seltzer from WYNK along with a CBD patch from Neno’s Naturals.
This week’s guest is Michael Sassano, CEO of Somai Pharmaceuticals, who breaks down the global growth of medical cannabis and the challenges of regulation across continents. From Germany and Thailand to Spain and France, Sassano details the rise of pharmaceutical-grade cannabis and predicts a sweeping medical adoption over the next five years.
Don also wraps the week’s top cannabis headlines: a THC ban bill in Texas, how tariffs may hit cannabis supply chains, and an update on rescheduling delays reportedly tied to the DEA. He ends on a hopeful note with news that daily CBD use may curb alcohol cravings, and, of course, a brand new High Haiku.
