After a brief break, Cannabis Man returns with fresh energy and big updates! Host Don Kleppin kicks off the episode by revisiting the show's mission: to normalize and destigmatize cannabis by sharing expert conversations, industry news, and insightful perspectives.
Don shares some exciting personal news—his voice can now be heard on a Walmart radio commercial airing in New York and another upcoming ad for an insurance company. He also steps in front of the camera with a background role in Season 4 of The Bear, currently filming in Chicago.
In this week’s Product Showcase, Don reviews Tyson 2.0 pre-rolled joints, highlighting three strains—Dynamite Cookies (his favorite), Gelato 44, and Knockout OG. These "shorty" pre-rolls impressed him with smooth airflow and great effects. Plus, he gives his thoughts on a Banana Runtz vape cartridge from Tickled Pink, breaking down its flavor and potency.
Later in the episode, Don welcomes Vanessa Yee-Chan, Founder of Alta, who shares insights on New York’s evolving cannabis market. They discuss licensing challenges, consumer trends, and what’s next for the Empire State’s legal industry.
Some recent news headlines that Don shares include an expansion of cannabis farmer's markets and pop-up events in New York, Texas' senate passing a bill to ban all consumable THC products, a new report showing federal cannabis trafficking cases have dropped significantly over the past decade, and a list of the top cannabis tourism destinations in the U.S.
