Speaker 2 (00:15):
Have you ever felt like hiding your weed in a
sock drawer or a sandwich baggie? Well you're not alone.
But in today's world of cannabis legalization, I ask you,
should we still feel the need to hide something that's
helping us feel better, live better, and yes, even heal.
(00:35):
Today I'm just saying now we're unpacking cannabis consumption in public,
the stigma, the smell, and where do we draw the
line between discretion and shame, because, let's face it, we're
not just getting high, We're getting real. We'll throw it
(00:56):
to some of my favorite reefer reflections from our GBL
TV evault exploring how people feel about lighting up a
public and how and where to stash your stash responsibly
and even with style. So sit back, relax, and let's
get smarter together with some of the sharpest minds in
(01:17):
the industry.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
By twenty twenty, Bank of America and Merrill Lynch estimate
that will grow to thirty five billion dollars, and many
experts believe it could eventually reach two hundred billion dollars
each and every year.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Stack.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I can't see so much younger.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
I'm a better fie who is going to be gone.
Taking me a while to get it. Had to live
and cry, to appreciate life and what you give his words,
when you hold an when you hold me so close,
someone better and under your skin. I want to leave
the mic so then I can be sure that's you,
and then the wise man.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Hello, Hello, and hey, welcome back to Just Say No,
where we shine a light on cannabis with clarity, curiosity,
and a commitment to credible conversation, elevating the voices, the stories,
and the products shaping the legal cannabis movement. We're curiosity
is Queen. I'm your host, Maria Calibrey's coming to you
(02:52):
from the heart of California's cannabis country on casey AA
Radio ten fifty AM one O six point five FM
and streaming on CACAATV or wherever you get your podcasts.
If you tuned in last week, you know we explored
(03:12):
the powerful return of baby boomers to the cannabis face
in our episode Legacy to Legalization four twenty. Then and
Now we talked about cannabis then and now, from garage
stash boxes and woodstock vibes to today's tinctures, gummies and
backyard gardens. But as with any good hi, there's more
(03:36):
to the story. Let's start with the question can I
spoke here? Although California legalized adult use cannabis back in
twenty sixteen, the rules around where you can actually consume
it still a little hazy. Guys. Here's the bottom line.
It's perfectly legal to possess cannabis, but it's illegal to smoke, vape,
(04:01):
or consume in most public places. That includes parks, sidewalks, beaches,
even in front of your house if it's considered public view.
So no, you're front porch, it may not be safe.
Cannabis lounges are popping up in places like West Hollywood, Coachella,
(04:22):
and other parts of Palm Springs, offering save social spaces
for people to get together and consume. But some even
may begin serving food, hosting events, offering the kind of
experiences you'd get at a wine bar or a cigar lounge.
But there are still plenty of blind spots in the law.
(04:46):
Did you know it's illegal to consume cannabis within a
thousand feet of a school, daycare or youth center, especially
when kids are present, or that passengers can't light up
in a vehicle to treat it just like alcohol under
California's open container rules. And here's one more twist, multi
(05:09):
unit housing can also restrict cannabis use entirely. Even if
the state says it's legal and consuming on a balcony
and public view, well that could still get you fined.
But in cities without consumption lounges, well, there just aren't
many legal places to consume, especially for those who can't
(05:33):
consume at home. So yes, cannabis is legal in California.
By lighting up in public, it can still land you
a fine. I feel like it's kind of like being
invited to a party with no designated dance floor. So
for a quick visual guide to where you can and
can't consume in the Golden State, check out our cannabis
(05:56):
consumption sheat sheet available on this episode's showpage at greenbelife
dot com. You know, should you be able to light
up in the park, at a concert, on your front porch.
Public cannabis consumption it remains one of the most hotly
debated topics and one of the most misunderstood aspects of legalization.
(06:21):
Supporters say cannabis brings relief and that forcing people to
hide it is unfair, especially for medical users. Opponents they
often object to the smell, they just don't like it,
or they worry about the message it sence. Well, let's
be honest, a lot of that discomfort comes from decades
(06:44):
of drug war stigma. Let's see what our team at
greenbe Life Cannabis, our team of cannabis enthusiasts at Greenbee
Life had to say about spoken in public, Have iver
consumed in public? And have I ever experienced any stigma
associated with that?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Green Bee Life.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Stoolish?
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Is it against a law of consumer probment?
Speaker 9 (07:14):
Yes, you are not allowed any public consumption anywhere.
Speaker 10 (07:18):
I know that is not a legal thing. But I
was at a pool party. It was birthday party, and
I ended up meeting a couple of girls who were
really cool and down to smoke.
Speaker 11 (07:31):
Because we're working in the business to kind of toe
the line, but most of the time people are drawn.
It's a conversation starter and there's no problem with it.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 12 (07:39):
Be surprised how many people love cannabis.
Speaker 13 (07:41):
You're not supposed to smoke cannabis in public. I know
it is what it is, so I respect people's wishes
and I take cannabis where it's appropriate.
Speaker 14 (07:50):
I do it in areas where it might be offensive
to other people, and it doesn't even cross my consciousness
that it could be wrong or that I could get
in trouble. It's only usually afterwards, and after I've put
it away that I realize, oh, rad, it's probably not good,
and I put it out.
Speaker 15 (08:05):
You know, I don't like to consume in public. I
feel pretty awkward whenever I do. I just don't want
to fan anyone else that might be around me.
Speaker 16 (08:14):
I was that same person. I was just like, very shy.
You don't want to do too much. But then you
see on the beach. You can go to different parts
of town and that's all you smell in the air
is just the fresh aroma of cannabis, and it's so
refreshing because it's not violence or drugs going on or
anything in a negative way. It's like a beautiful beach setting.
Speaker 14 (08:32):
I haven't gotten in trouble, but my friends have definitely
gotten in trouble for smoking cannabis on.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
The beach, which should be illegal.
Speaker 14 (08:38):
You shouldn't be able to do that, get in trouble
for smoking on the beach.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
That's what life's about, you know, especially.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Here in California.
Speaker 10 (08:43):
Another girl shows up to the party, and she shows
up with her parents, and these girls that I want
to smoke with get kind of shy and they're like,
we should go smoke around the back of the house,
so nobody sees. And I thought about it for a second,
and then I realized, No, people are drinking alcoholic beverages
around the back of the house. This is exactly the
(09:06):
problem we're dealing with. We need to show people not
only is this acceptable, it's safe and it's okay to
do around other people.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Would I consume in public? Yes, because I would. It's
time to crush the stigma, right. We don't want to
perpetuate it. But no, I haven't, and I'm sure I
would feel it in my bones that, oh, I can
get in trouble for this, But that's a fear I
(09:38):
need to go toward, so I could rewire and deprogram
that conditioning.
Speaker 16 (09:45):
All those stigmas that you have in your mind are
being broken just by this beautiful scene that you have.
So of course I want to enjoy that. I want
to have like my feet up in a hammock and
have my favorite blunt. So getting to do that in
Los angele List, getting to do that around the world,
it liberated me to say, it's not hurting anybody. I'm
(10:05):
not going to be around children.
Speaker 15 (10:06):
There's kids around, I'll definitely not consume a public not
around the kids right now.
Speaker 8 (10:12):
Yeah, not around kids.
Speaker 17 (10:13):
I don't think they should be exposed to it.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
My grandfather was a chain smoker.
Speaker 17 (10:17):
I remember clouds of smoke, being in the living room,
trying to watch cartoons through the clouds of smoke.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
I knew I was never going to be a smoker.
Speaker 16 (10:24):
But some of my cousins that was in the same room,
they went the other way, like, oh, I can't wait
to blow my own cloud.
Speaker 13 (10:29):
It's funny how if you try to smoke cannabis in public,
which I know it's illegal, it's so frowned upon with
people who just are so comfortable with cigarette smoke.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
But there's nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 12 (10:40):
I think there should be some more conversation.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
About public consumption.
Speaker 12 (10:46):
If you can smoke a cigarette in public and a
designated smoking area, you should be able to smoke marijuana.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I think cigarette smoke is gross. Yeah, marijuana smoke is dank,
dank or gross. There's a room for both sides of
the story. But cigarette smoke nothing dank about that. Listen.
(11:16):
What we need to do here is we have to
have room for nuance. We can advocate for respectful use.
We don't flinch at alcohol or cigarettes and designated public spaces.
So why are we still whispering about weed? Cannabis deserves
the same respect. Freedom and responsibility can and should go
(11:41):
hand in hand. The key is balance normalization with mindfulness,
common sense, you know. And a perfect example that I'd
like to share today of drawing the line between normalization
and shame without having to give up some and liberties
and freedoms is exactly where Jeneine Moss, creator of Enemy Bags,
(12:06):
comes in. Janine is what filmmaker Wendy Boorman, who wrote, produced,
and directed the award winning documentary Women of Weed, coins
a puffer jet. I got any pufferjettes out there? Come on,
we need more puffer jettes. You're out there. So Jeanine
is not just a fashion visionary. She's one of the
(12:30):
original architects of where discretion meets design in the cannabis space.
Back in twenty fifteen, Janeine founded Enemy, the first high
style accessories brand crafted specifically for women who wanted to
carry cannabis without compromising on class, style or sent control.
(12:57):
Didn't want to offend anybody maybe wanted to exercise a
little discretion, but didn't want to have to feel like
they were hiding it necessarily. So Annibe revolutionized the fashion
cannabis landscape with its stigma shattering line of odorproof handbags,
hits and cases. They were as smart as sleep and
(13:23):
a bold pr strategy. Viral social media buzz and over
two hundred media features later led to the brand completely
selling out its inventory, proving that we can have discretion
without shame, and that demand for elevated cannabis lifestyle products,
(13:44):
especially for women, are real and is rising now. Although
Annaby closed in twenty twenty, Janine's influence it hasn't faded today.
She's the founder of our Front Solutions, where she advises
startups Fortune five hundreds on bold branding, communications strategy, and
(14:09):
breakthrough marketing across emerging industries. She may have lit the
match that started the odor proof revolution, but she is
still very much on fire. Janine understood something fundamental. You'll
want to carry your yoga mat in a trash bag, right,
(14:31):
so why treat your cannabis that way? When you reach
into your purse. The last thing you want is for
it to smell like a growhouse. Yet, for women who
consume cannabis responsibly, discretion and dignity were often afterthoughts and
product design. That's where Janine stepped in and Annabe answered
(14:53):
with a line of chic confidence boosting cannabis accessories that
were as intentional as they were beautiful. Let's have a
look and listen. Thanks for joining us today. Thank you,
I had time to visit your beautiful, beautiful both and
tell us a little bit about Aniby spelled like cannabis
(15:17):
without the sea, but we pronounce it the fancy French way.
Of course, you're the co Quchianel of cannabis.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Right so Aniby. I'm the CEO of Annibe, c O
Foumily yep and founder, and we are a lifestyle brand
that's serving the cannabis consumer and particularly upscale women. So
we're very interested in making our lives better, more convenient,
more secure, and more fashionable. We make really high quality,
(15:44):
well designed, discrete products. This is not about emblazing something
with a cannabis leaf or a barb marley or a flag,
a Jamaican flag. This is about your real, everyday life,
living it the way you like to live it, keeping
your private life private and sharing it with whoever you want,
and being able to go where you want you know,
(16:06):
and feel confident and secure and discrete when you do it.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And the mechanism for that is is.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Ah, well, that's the secret sauce. So the secret sauce
to our products starts with I'm going to say it
starts with a bag that you wanna carry. I mean,
if you didn't really love this bag. And by the way,
I'm a huge fan of Chloe and Prada and you
know some of the greatest brands. I'm sure you are too.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And i'd imagine they don't offer.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
This secret sauce. So some of our products are to
go inside you're already fabulous bag, and some of our
products are the bags. This is a good example of
one that goes inside the bag. This is a Maya.
You can take this sauce now, It's just it looks
like a cosmetic kit, although it has cute little feet
on the bottom. So if you put it on the
very nice those red wine, Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Those are adorable. It elevates it, Oh, elevates it like
like your experience.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
And then so you know, let's say you put this
in your toe right now, you're going into the restaurant.
You stick your phone in the exterior.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
What beautiful lining by the way.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
You purple and golder our color?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh wow, the detail. Let's look at that line in there.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
So you will often find, if not always, a purple lining.
What else?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
It's beautiful. It's just such a meat sheet compartments.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Right, So we created something called aroma block technology, and
what it is is it's layers of resin film that
are in between the exterior leather and sometimes vegan leather
and the interior lining. The purple. There's this resin film
which traps the scent, and then it's sealed with an
air type zipper. See how the zipper doesn't look like
(17:49):
all zippers. Wow, so this is air tight. So this
entire thing is outoproof. You could put a stinky bud.
You could smoke something out of pipe and throw that
stinky thing in. Or let's say you have tinctures or
CBD that you carry every day for medicinal purposes. You
don't want tom bouncing around on the bottom of your
bag and getting things sticky and nasty you put it.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
If they do bring, they're going to release an odor.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
You will never ever get that odor out. Wow, we
have little pockets like these pockets designed.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Now, that's very unique for a tote this size.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
That's right for a clutch, right, they usually don't have to.
There's my lighter, there's my matches in this bag, I
got myne oh, and this is your actual, but I'm
going to show you my actual. So they always have
a room of block technology. They always have the special
pockets for stuff, and they always have our purple lining.
And they're always designed by women for women.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh why you can get the uh yes, And even
though this has a utilitarian purpose to block odor, it's
it's esthetically so pretty. Not seeing the zipper, it looks
like a fashion statement. Well it is, it's And now
why the Maya, Well, how do you name the oh?
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Okay, Well, that's just a little nod to the fabulous
women of weed. I mean. Maya is named after Maya Angelou.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
It was perhaps one of the greatest.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Cannabis consumers of all the time. Oh yeah, you didn't
know that she was Maya, Maya Angela. She says that
the reason why she made it through all of her parenting.
I think she was a single mother for a while. Yeah,
so she consumed cannabis. You know, I have a lot
of fun. She's had a lot of great quotes by
a celebrated cannabis consumer.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Maya Angela.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
And this is the Lady g and I I'm not
going to tell you who that's named after, because I
think you probably already know.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Ga.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
That's right, Ah exactly. We name them after the great women,
the women who have been outspoken about it, and we
want to pay a little homage to the early wonderful.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So this is the Lady g Oh, and this is
the founder's choice, at least for today.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
What you're wearing.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I have to say, this is usually my beautiful vibe because.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
You know, it goes with everything. But we see it
looks very nice.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
This.
Speaker 18 (20:07):
I like this.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I like this, and it looks fabulous with you. So
look at look at how a lady g just yeah
what So it's convertible. So we're all about utility, and
the reason is is because we women, I have lives
that are very complicated, and we need stuff that makes
it better, easier.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
It's such a change, it's such a pain to have
to change your bag.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Right, So we've got some really cool things to work on.
That can't say too much, but this is Lady G.
I use her all day because I can get everything
in it.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And you consume.
Speaker 16 (20:41):
I do.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I always have since I was a teenager growing up
in Venice Beach, California. But when I moved to New York,
I have a career in marketing and branding. You know,
everybody's much more discreet. So that's where I got my
bas shops, just learning how to survive in New York
with the million of other women.
Speaker 16 (21:01):
Just like me.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And there are millions of others that's.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Right, and they are consuming too, and they were my peers.
They're at ad agencies, they're in the music business, they're
working for comcasts, they're at city hall, they're everywhere.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Not that couch locked stereotype of a song.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
No, because especially women, we're not like that. We like
a little buzz when especially if they're not drinks. I'm
not a drinker, really, I just because I grew up
on cannabis. I just never turned into a drinker. Sure,
And so when I always went to parties and everybody's drinking,
you know how much fun it is to be the
only one who hasn't been drinking at a party. So
you have to you have to sneak out and go
(21:38):
and have a puff.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You want to feel elevated and lifted, and you want
to laugh at their jokes, especially when they're not funy.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
That's important. So I developed ways of doing this right,
And I would sneak out with the other women and
we would see each other heading for the door at
a party, right, yeah, tune into that group four twenty
cod that's right exactly, and then you're out there and
then you're going back and listen. It could be a
(22:08):
business party. In one case, in the case where we
got actually give you my aha moment, we were going
to a comedy club, but it was all City Council
that was in there, so we couldn't go in smelling
like and all these women who were driving Mercedes and
carrying Louis Witan and here we are pulling baggies. It's
completely ridiculous. Oh my, can't find anything. Next thing, you know,
(22:30):
we're all in this car at a Mercedes and it's
all smoky, and we're all smelling. We're going and we're
all going, oh no, we're going into this thing. So
who's got perfume, who's got tic TACs, who's got some
hand cream? So we're pulling all this stuff out and
it was like, we're not guilty teenagers. What the hell
are we doing?
Speaker 19 (22:48):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (22:48):
And this is not a devil's weed, right exactly. So
so the next day, I'm gonna find us a kit.
Couldn't find one. We're set in motion the future animy.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Now I'm going to look at comedy clubs sponsored by
city council. Who's carrying an animy?
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Well, yeah, when you're part of the tribe, you come
to a part of the tribes, this symbol here, it's beautiful,
which is how you know it's an animy. But we
never put outside because we're discreet. No, right, So you
have to be in the know.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
What would be your goal to destigmatize cannabis. So we
still need it for privacy, the concealment, but.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
You're going to do a couple of things. One thing
is I want everyone to see women as a market
in cannabis. And the reason is is if you're not
recognized as an economic force, then nothing's ever made for
you and you have no influence.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
So ah, the supply and amaze exactly.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
So women have been there, but nobody knew it. There
was always all these men things, right, There was never
anything for women when I created this. There was nothing
out there for women. So now there is. So that's
one of the goals is to continue that process of
making women important.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
That's nice.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
And another thing that we want to do is we
just want to serve the cannabis lifestyle. So we're really
a lifestyle brand. So whatever will make your life better
as you consume cannabis and you go about your life,
whether you're carrying it medicinally all day long, right and
you want to keep it away from your kids, or
if you're recreational and you just don't think that you
(24:26):
should be carrying baggies and tea tints anymore. Yes, and
you're ready to be as kind to your cannabis as
you are to your tennis racket or your interred or
your wallet or your glasses.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
You know what, Cannabis is a choice, and it's nobody's business,
nor should it be anybody's business.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
So and you should be able to go where you want,
do what you want, be responsible with it, and not
fear any unwelcome interactions.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And enjoy the journey.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Enjoy the.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yes, enjoy the journey. I always like to quote Betty
Davis here. If you want a thing done well, I'll
get a couple of little broads.
Speaker 19 (25:20):
To do it. H She knew, And.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
You know, I really adhere to Janine's philosophy. If it's
something I lived by, cannabis is legal, It's helped me,
It's helped horrific chronic back pain. And it's now it's
time to make it civilized. She's she's spot on, absolutely right.
(25:47):
She demonstrates she has showed us a discretion. It isn't
It doesn't have to be about shame and four twenty
code and hiding. It's about choice and having cannabis products
that reflect our lifestyle, not define it. While Janine sparked
(26:10):
the movement, brands like Revelry. Revelry, Oh my god, they
have the best boaterproof products. We have them in our store.
This is their cooler for the summer. It is incredible.
Greenbelife dot com we have a great curation of storage
(26:31):
and of odorproof bags. So Revelry, while I like them,
is they're continuing this evolution. They offer odor proof solutions
that are practical. They're practical, they're durable, and they're design forward.
They're built for life on the go. The revel rebags,
(26:54):
they're water resistant, they're carbon filtered, and they're ready for
whatever venture you're taking your flower on. Whether you lean sporty,
sleek or tactical. These revel reproducts they let you move
through the world with style and security. You can find
rebel Rebags and other wonderful curation of elevated cannabis lifestyle
(27:19):
gear in our Greenbee Life Hive. Whenever I find something wonderful,
I like to share it because discretion and dignity should
always go hand in hand.
Speaker 10 (27:32):
And you know, I.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Hope and a Bee could make more bags. But if
they don't, there's a lot of other good brands. And
while they did sell them all out, I have about
six left, just saying, just saying, so you know, we've
talked about public discretion, right where can we smoke them?
(27:57):
Are out? And how do we stash it? But what
about how you treat your cannabis at home? You know,
gone are the days of hiding your flower in a
shoe box, under the bed top shelf closets or in
ziploc bags. Today's we have choices, guys, and we have options,
and your stash deserves it. From humidity controlled metal cases
(28:21):
to carved wooden boxes. I've got Marley Natural back there
next to the NBC sign beautiful walnut sustainable woodlock box
to artisan glass jars. Four twenty Science has these beautiful jars.
They're great for gifting flower. They're not dark, so I
(28:46):
want to store flower in it, you want to do
it in a dark container. But what a wonderful, wonderful
They have all different designs and patterns and burnt burnt is.
They have beautiful rolling trades. But they also have these wonderful,
wonderful ceramic jars. Seal I prooftops. This is the berries
(29:12):
and cream. They have beautiful wood at the top that
they use for the rolling trays. They also have borel
so really nice. I mean, decorative storage is now part
of the cannabis lifestyle, and I truly believe in the
(29:32):
movement we're trying to do on the road from you know,
prohibition to legalization, legacy to legalization. When you treat your
cannabis with care and intention. You're honoring your ritual, your
wellness and yourself and you know you should be able
to with cannabis. I pose the question to Team g
(29:52):
B where do you store your cannabis at home? And
I would like to share. Let's have have a listen.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
That is a great question.
Speaker 18 (30:06):
Where do I keep my cannabis at home?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Bring me like.
Speaker 18 (30:14):
Bullet, Wow, everywhere it's not good. There's no place in
my house that cannabis has not touched. So it's in
my backyard, in my garden, it's in my kitchen, in
my cabinet.
Speaker 20 (30:30):
I actually have a little space outside to store my cannabis.
It has the stash logics, my bud vase, all my
acruturements are safely up above and away.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
I have like a little shrine. No, I'm just kidding.
I have a little box I keep all my like
my papers and a little grinder together. Yeah. I try
to keep it all in one spot so I don't
lose it, like my car keys.
Speaker 10 (30:52):
I have a little cosmetics bag with handles on it
that I keep my cannabis in.
Speaker 20 (30:59):
You have the crossover all these fortresses to get to
my cannabis because I need to keep it safe away
from my children, out of precious hands and eyes.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
You definitely want to keep it out of reach of children, animals, pets,
especially if it's edibles or anything that you know could
accidentally be consumed.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
All of our you know, edibles and other products are
stored in a drawer and secure, but the flowers we
keep kind of up on a bar.
Speaker 15 (31:25):
I don't keep my cannabis in any place particular. There's
no miners in the house, so I usually keep it
in a drawer. I have some flour in a small
little jar that I keep nice, cool and dry in
a drawer.
Speaker 19 (31:38):
I have a metal foul can it next to my bed,
and the top one it it's a lock, so it
can be locked. We don't lock it we have no
reason too, but if for babysitting or something, we could
lock it.
Speaker 13 (31:49):
We have a coffee table that has a lower shelf
that's normally where it's stored, just right there on the
bottom with our goal grinder jar flower.
Speaker 12 (31:57):
We have a cannabis bar in our home, so alcohol
is actually put up in a cabinet and our cannabis
is out in the open and available for anyone to
actually consume.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
I don't hide it. I keep it out in the open.
I try to be social with it, and I try
to offer to people who are my friends and guests
or my roommate.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I keep my tincture in my kitchen where my cordless
phone is. Yes, I still have a landline.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
I have a coffee table with a drawer, and it's
all organized by strains, the type of strain it is.
And with the new packaging, you have these nice jars
with all the information on them.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
So yeah, it's very organized.
Speaker 19 (32:44):
And then my girlfriend, she has her own separate little place.
She keeps it in a little tupperware thing. I'm trying
to get rid of that tupperware move everything into this
one place because I feel like it's more safe, and
I'm like, ohcde kind of guy, and everything in one place.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I like, before I sit down to read or watch television,
I stop by there, check to see if I have
any messages, and take a little bit.
Speaker 11 (33:10):
We're constantly getting samples and amazing new flower to try.
So we've got twenty different strains so when our friends
come over, they can check out different bridles and strains
and it's kind of at the Forefront Front Center.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
I have eighteen eighths right now at home, different strains.
I like to have variety and many different strains, and
I don't like to compromise with price, because you want
tested product, you want clean product and high quality.
Speaker 10 (33:39):
I'm not just conscious about the quality of the cannabis
I'm using because I'm using it for medicinal purposes. I'm
conscious of the papers that I'm rolling it with. Now
I've started cutting off the glue strip on my rolling
papers and taking away more of the paper, and it's
such a smooth smoke. It's really a nice It's that way.
Speaker 17 (34:01):
Where do I keep my cannabis. I keep it in
a computer desk in the drawer right here to my left,
so it's like within hands reach.
Speaker 13 (34:09):
If it's tincture, I keep it in my cabinet, so
then that way it doesn't spoil. But for the most part,
my cannabis is like an arm stretched away.
Speaker 16 (34:19):
In my living room, I have a nice little jar
on my table. Then I have a bookshelf as well
that has like a few different strands in the bookshelf.
Speaker 17 (34:27):
I still hide it from my parents so they don't
know it's there. But yeah, it's right there on the
desk in the computer, and the bong is hidden somewhere
else because it's too big.
Speaker 10 (34:41):
I have a separate space for my dad brig and
all my little dabs, which I guess I don't do
too often, but I have them for just in case,
and I keep that like on a desk in my closet.
Speaker 16 (34:53):
In my bedroom, I have and Indica hybrids like on
my bedside table. And I just always keep a pre
rolled in every ash tray, and there's an ashtray in
every room.
Speaker 14 (35:05):
I have an ashtray sitting on top of my record
layer with a half smoked joint there. I have an
ashtray right by my bed on my night stand with
a half smoked joint there. I have some tinctures in
the night stand. I have a jar of flower in
there too.
Speaker 18 (35:20):
It's in my bathroom and my bath bombs or my
hip body wash.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
It is in my bedroom on my rolling tray.
Speaker 18 (35:30):
Nowhere you can not find cannabis them out.
Speaker 14 (35:33):
Then, I'm usually surprised when I find cannabis other places.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
But it's everywhere.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
It's everywhere.
Speaker 12 (35:40):
Part of de stigmatizing the plant.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
To be honest, we don't need to hide it anymore.
Speaker 11 (35:44):
We like to have it out so when people come
over they can talk to us about it and they're like, well,
you have cannabis out.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
You're not worried.
Speaker 11 (35:50):
It's like, well, we work in cannabis and we believe
in what it's done for us and our friends, and
so here and check it out.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
For the complete episod.
Speaker 19 (36:00):
So please visit greenbe life dot com. Thank you for watching,
and please subscribe.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
That's great. So a pro tip that I'd like to
throw in is store your flower in a dark, cool
place and ditch the plastic your flower and your lungs. Well,
thank you, speaking of your lungs and of discretion and
smoking in public places or at home around people. There
(36:36):
is a whole cloud culture when it comes to the smoke.
But we also have vaping devices as well. And it's
interesting because I read something that really caught my attention
about cloud culture smoking versus vaping, and you know what
(37:00):
I say, ditch the plastic. We've got now more civilized
ways to store our stash. According to a study I
read it, John Hopkins Medicine said that vaping dry herb
(37:21):
cannabis may expose you to fewer harmful chemicals than smoking.
So smoking versus vaping not only on a discretionary level,
but on a health level. And you know what's also
interesting about dry herb vaporizers versus smoking doesn't have to
just be cannabis. Many people now I've discovered, are vaporizing
(37:46):
herbs like lavender, peppermint, even eucalyptus. Now you add cannabis
to the mix and you've got a cleaner, more customizable experience.
So I caught up with the ladies Mary Jane University
and they had some interesting things to say and products
to show me dry portable dryer vaporizers, and I asked
(38:09):
them about spoken versus vapor Let's let's have a quick list.
Speaker 9 (38:12):
So this is known as a dry herb vaporizer. I
mean you can use the flower. It's different than a
vape pen.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (38:20):
So and then I also have this is the Hydrology nine.
Speaker 21 (38:25):
It is also a dry herb vaporizer, but it has
a water filtration system.
Speaker 7 (38:30):
So this one's pretty high tech. This is even made
from space metal.
Speaker 9 (38:36):
We are a long way from the tent over the
rocks in the Yeah, now we are, We've come a
long way.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Whoa Eactly?
Speaker 2 (38:46):
So this delivery system is space metal.
Speaker 21 (38:51):
Yeah, long enough, it's supposed to be portable, durable, leak proof.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
What it's the idea is to get high. It should
be space metal, right, taste metal, yes, exactly right, and
it's pretty easy just.
Speaker 21 (39:10):
And everything's that really low temperature, so you're not going
to see a big plume of smoke.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
It's going to be a vapor, so I can taste
the flavor.
Speaker 22 (39:19):
You're getting the purest like form of the medicine when
you're vaporizing as opposed to lighting it. You get the
butane from the lighter or whatever other chemical that it
goes with. Like an edible if you have a brownie,
you're eating the sugar as well as you know, the
flour and.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
Glute and all that stuff.
Speaker 7 (39:41):
So this is one of the best most effective ways
to medicate.
Speaker 22 (39:46):
And then as you can see, they're convenient on the
go and this Cloudius nine is just fun at parties.
Speaker 21 (39:53):
Well, now you long battery life to think about three
hours on a good full.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Charge really now, and I don't smell anything, so there's
not secondary smoke with this.
Speaker 5 (40:04):
Well, it's not smoke, it's vapor.
Speaker 7 (40:05):
It's vapor, So it's actually just.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Some of them, you know, they some people.
Speaker 22 (40:12):
If there's a culture with the clouds, there's a cloud culture, you're.
Speaker 21 (40:16):
Going then you can turn the temperature up if you
would like to get more of that smoke cloud.
Speaker 9 (40:23):
And actually that your next item is all about the clouds.
Speaker 21 (40:26):
Yes, So this one is kind of equivalated to a dabreak,
like a portable dabrig because this is going to be
mostly for your concentrates and.
Speaker 7 (40:38):
It has this has a quad coil, so it's going
to get really hot. This one's going for that heat.
You can you can see inside there, there's four little oils.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
You just put your.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
Concentrate right inside there. Put it back together. This one's
really cool because it has this magnetic closure.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
So it's sam you do another demo.
Speaker 6 (41:08):
A lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (41:09):
Yeah, you have deep CBD, you know, yes we can.
Speaker 9 (41:16):
We like to make it a light experience. And like
I said, as far as the ingestable THHC, that's limited
to five. And when you eat something that's gonna stay
with you much longer than when you smoke something.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
Yeah, when it's processed by your liver.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Now, could you have just CBD and not even thc
mm hmm.
Speaker 9 (41:35):
There are CBD concentrates and there are strains that are
higher in CBD.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
I really enjoyed sitting down with the women of Mary
Jane University. We compared they compared for me popular vaporizer brands,
and I'll tell you I was blown away by Da
Vinci blown away part of the pun the Da Vinci
(42:05):
Packs stores in Bickle. There are some really really interesting
discrete modern forms of smoking which studies are showing could
have fewer effects when it comes to lung health. So
(42:26):
the portable dry herb vaporizers that I was most impressed
with was cloudy is nine Da Vinci Packs stores of Bickle,
And this is on my quest to find the best ones.
We do offer at Grainbee Life, a marketplace of very
top shelf, top tier curated brands. If I find something good,
(42:52):
I bring it back to the hive and I like
to share it. So those are definitely popular and trending,
discreete modern devices with no secondhand smoke or odor. And yeah,
it's interesting, it's worth looking at that. In fact, I
even was speaking to someone called in and said that
(43:15):
they wean themselves off of cigarette smoking by getting a
portable dryer vaporizer using tobacco and then adding and diluting
the tobacco, mixing it, making a blend with other herbs,
including cannabis, and eventually down to no tobacco in the vapes. So, hey,
(43:38):
it's interesting. If you have any interesting thoughts stories, share
them with us. We'd love to know. So from health
to discretion dryer vaporizers, they seem to be leading the
evolution of cannabis consumption. Now I would like to turn though,
(43:59):
speaking of wanting to hear from you, We've got a
couple of good listener questions here.
Speaker 15 (44:05):
We have.
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Tom from west Lake Village. Tom Tom is asking how
do I tell my family on pro cannabis so that
I don't have to leave my house every time I
want to smoke. Well, hey, those are two different issues.
Your family has to be okay with the scent of
the terpenes. I would educate them on the terpenes, but no.
(44:30):
First seriously, Tom, great question, you know, and good for
you for wanting to share it with them. Some families
are more open than others. Family dynamics, those are as
unique as cannabis cultivars. So I would say, start with
your why. Start with your why, whether you're consuming it
(44:52):
for sleep, pain relief, or just peace of mind, and
peace of mind should not be minimized. I think it's underrated.
Speak from your personal experience, how you're benefiting from it,
and try to explain that there aren't alternatives. If there
(45:13):
are not alternatives, or the benefits versus the side effects
or downside of the alternatives that exist, for whyever you're
using it. I mean, there are great articles out there.
We had a wonderful episode, episode three with a wonderful,
wonderful neuroscientist, doctor Menesh Gern and he was talking about
(45:38):
the effects of cannabis and psychedelics on the brain and anyway.
He spoke about how gen xers are moving away from
alcohol to cannabis, and he talked about the different effects
of cannabis on the brain versus alcohol on the brain.
So I don't know how old you are. We don't
(45:59):
promote anyone under twenty one consuming it, but if you
need it and you're under twenty one for medical reasons
and you're under medical supervision, you know, every situation is unique,
but start with the why, start with why, and be patient.
Listen Listen when you say how can I talk to
(46:19):
them about it? Listen, really listen to their concerns. Dude,
I'm probably from their generation and it was drilled into us.
I mean, if I'm guessing your parents are probably children
of dare and it would have scared the bejeezers out
of me only less than ten years ago if I
(46:41):
knew one of my family members were smoking it. So listen, listen,
and be informed so that you could come back and
you can have a very empathic response to their concerns,
alleviate their concerns. Who knows, hopefully they'll be puffing and
(47:05):
passing with you sometime soon. All right, So start with
your why and do your homework. Be prepared, all right.
So next question, we've got Jill from Manhattan Beach. Jill.
Jill is saying, can you smoke or vape cannabis at
outdoor events like concerts or festivals in states that are legal? No,
(47:31):
let's the event has a special license for onsite cannabis consumption,
which is rare. Most venues follow state laws prohibiting public
use even in legal states, Jill. But some events are
able to get these special licenses for on site cannabis consumption.
(47:54):
But you got to check it out and find out First,
it's a trending question, especially as more festivals permit alcohol
and have these wellness zones. You know, cannabis consumers like yourself.
They're asking why they're still restricted even in legal state,
which takes us back to the clash between legalization and
(48:18):
venue specific rules. Normalization versus liability comes down to the
local counties, rules and regulations and whether the event especially
permitted for cannabis issues. All these are good questions. Guys,
We've got Judy Judy from San Diego. Hey, Judy, thanks
(48:41):
for listening. So Judy wants to know our cannabis consumption
lounge is legal everywhere and what can you actually do
in sidewise? Great question, great question. No, they're not legal everywhere.
They're not legal state wide in California, even though California
is a legal state. So why California just greenlit lounges
(49:03):
to serve food and host entertainment. It's a new twenty
twenty five law. Each individual city decides whether to permit them,
and local restrictions they vary widely. In approved lounges, what
can you do on them? You can typically smoke, vape,
(49:25):
or eat cannabis, and new laws may allow food and
entertainment alongside cannabis use. But as far as I know,
these lounges are not permitted to serve or offer psychoactive food.
(49:46):
So you maybe can bring your own edible in and
order a salad you want an infused salad dressing, got
to bring your own if it's a lapped So there's
confusion over state versus city rules, and what on site
consumption really means remains again hazy. So it's the state
(50:11):
versus city rules. So no your city rules. Okay, let's see,
I got time for one more, and I've got Anthony,
oh from out of California. Okay, Anthony from Ohio. Hey, Anthony,
thanks for listening. Anthony wants to know what's the difference
between public and public view and can I get fined
(50:35):
for smoking on my own balcony? Yes, you can. Even
if you're on a private property consuming cannabis in public
view like on a balcony or porch, it may still
leave you open to a fine, depending on again the
(50:57):
local ordinances. So the four it's very inconsistent. Consumers in
multi unit housing or city apartments are often caught in
a legal gray area personal property rights versus nuisance laws
and the need for clearer statewide guidelines. But guys, the
(51:20):
more respectful we are, the less of a nuisance we present,
then we'll have well our personal property rights will hopefully prevail.
So it's not what y'all light up, it's how you
show up. So responsibility, I think goes a long way
(51:43):
respect for our neighbors. So I hope that answers your questions.
Moving on to our cannabis glossary for the day. It
might seem like an obvious term, but today's term is
odorproof because there's a lot of hype out there. There
are these wonderful This is one of my leftover Annimy
(52:06):
bags and there's this is for real, true odor proof.
It doesn't just mean smell resistant. You gotta watch out
for the hype. It means serious engineering. It means carbon
lined filters, sealed water resistant linings. Revelry is a great
(52:28):
example and brand I have the cooler. They do have
smaller They even have these little tiny pocket money coin purses.
But you're looking for carbon line filters odorproof. What ouderproof
means is carbon line filters, sealed water resistant linings, rubber
(52:50):
seams and water resistant zippers. It's tech meat style doesn't
just mean smell proof, and it's If it's true odorproof,
it's great for keeping your gear private, safe and fresh.
Here's a fun fact. Some odorproof bags are even K
nine tested. Part of uh Animby's Going viral was a wonderful,
(53:16):
wonderful article in it's either Fortune magazine or Forbes, and
they wanted to test, really define what oderproof was. So
they took one of animy bags in Times Square in
New York before marijuana was legal in New York, so
they couldn't test it with marijuana. But they put three
(53:37):
things into it, a dead fish, cat food, and something
else equally normally, and they walked around Times Square and
they had they did the sniff test, they had people
smell it, and the only thing they could really smell
was the leather. So odorproof vutoproof has true meaning. It
(54:03):
doesn't just mean smell resistant, especially in the cannabis space.
So I have before we wrap up today, I have
some final thoughts. You know, today's conversation it wasn't just
about I know I mentioned this earlier where you can
light up. It was about how you show up. This
(54:25):
is going to help the movement, guys, and whether you're
coming out of the green closet, shopping for an outorproof
stash bag, or advocating for public consumption spaces, remember this
cannabis use. It can be elevated. It can and it
is classy, respectful and kind. It's not the outdated stereotypes.
(54:50):
And we've got to crush those and we lead by example,
right and we've got some wonderful brands that are emerging
to help us do that. It's not about hiding. It's
not about hiding in the shadows. It's about choosing how
and when we share this part of our lives, whether
you're lighting up, vaporizing, or locking it away in a
(55:14):
velvet lined box, how you consume reflects who you are,
and you're not defined by those outdated stereotypes. You're not
a pothead if you need a gummy to fall asleep
at night and stay asleep through the night, thoughtful, responsible, empowered.
(55:38):
I believe it was Snoop in a it was a
GQ interview who said, wherever I go, my step follows.
That's how you know I'm close. Well, good for you, Snoop,
And that's right. So whatever you're saying, as we wrap
up today's episode, I want to just point out now
(56:00):
how far we've come, because when it comes to drawing
the line between discretion and shame, we need to remember
four twenty. It didn't start out as a holiday, started
as a oode, a whisper, a ritual shared between a
few curious high schoolers chasing a secret stash after school.
(56:23):
It's more mystery than movement, and yet here we are,
decades later. Cannabis is no longer underground, guys. It's in documentaries, dispensaries,
dinner table conversations, and yeah, even on front porches. It's
no longer just about rebellion. It's about ritual, about relief,
(56:45):
and about reclaiming our relationship with a plant that connects us,
while respecting those who truly just can't stand, don't like
the scent, or are still influenced by decades a misleading propaganda,
because at the end of the day, cannabis is more
(57:06):
about than just getting high from what some legitimately register
as a pungent smell. It's about getting real, getting curious,
and getting well on your own terms, while respecting and
educating proponents, but staying well and keeping this industry well,
(57:31):
it requires more than good intentions. So if you care
about the future of public consumption laws, now is the
time to join me and raise our collective wisdom, curiosity,
and voices. Visit greenbee life dot com for trusted education,

this conversation going together. Next week we've got more blooming,
so stay tuned until then. I invite you to share
this episode with someone who's curious, someone who's skeptical, or

place for them in this space. And remember, cannabis isn't
(58:42):
about just getting high, It's about getting well, being informed,
and living your fullest life. And here on just say no.

Speaker 2 (00:15):
Have you ever felt like hiding your weed in a
sock drawer or a sandwich baggie? Well you're not alone.
But in today's world of cannabis legalization, I ask you,
should we still feel the need to hide something that's
helping us feel better, live better, and yes, even heal.
(00:35):
Today I'm just saying now we're unpacking cannabis consumption in public,
the stigma, the smell, and where do we draw the
line between discretion and shame, because, let's face it, we're
not just getting high, We're getting real. We'll throw it
(00:56):
to some of my favorite reefer reflections from our GBL
TV evault exploring how people feel about lighting up a
public and how and where to stash your stash responsibly
and even with style. So sit back, relax, and let's
get smarter together with some of the sharpest minds in
(01:17):
the industry.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
By twenty twenty, Bank of America and Merrill Lynch estimate
that will grow to thirty five billion dollars, and many
experts believe it could eventually reach two hundred billion dollars
each and every year.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Stack.
Speaker 5 (01:48):
I can't see so much younger.
Speaker 6 (02:05):
I'm a better fie who is going to be gone.
Taking me a while to get it. Had to live
and cry, to appreciate life and what you give his words,
when you hold an when you hold me so close,
someone better and under your skin. I want to leave
the mic so then I can be sure that's you,
and then the wise man.
Speaker 2 (02:30):

Radio ten fifty AM one O six point five FM
and streaming on CACAATV or wherever you get your podcasts.
If you tuned in last week, you know we explored
(03:12):
the powerful return of baby boomers to the cannabis face
in our episode Legacy to Legalization four twenty. Then and
Now we talked about cannabis then and now, from garage
stash boxes and woodstock vibes to today's tinctures, gummies and
backyard gardens. But as with any good hi, there's more
(03:36):
to the story. Let's start with the question can I
spoke here? Although California legalized adult use cannabis back in
twenty sixteen, the rules around where you can actually consume
it still a little hazy. Guys. Here's the bottom line.
It's perfectly legal to possess cannabis, but it's illegal to smoke, vape,
(04:01):
or consume in most public places. That includes parks, sidewalks, beaches,
even in front of your house if it's considered public view.
So no, you're front porch, it may not be safe.
Cannabis lounges are popping up in places like West Hollywood, Coachella,
(04:22):
and other parts of Palm Springs, offering save social spaces
for people to get together and consume. But some even
may begin serving food, hosting events, offering the kind of
experiences you'd get at a wine bar or a cigar lounge.
But there are still plenty of blind spots in the law.
(04:46):
Did you know it's illegal to consume cannabis within a
thousand feet of a school, daycare or youth center, especially
when kids are present, or that passengers can't light up
in a vehicle to treat it just like alcohol under
California's open container rules. And here's one more twist, multi
(05:09):
unit housing can also restrict cannabis use entirely. Even if
the state says it's legal and consuming on a balcony
and public view, well that could still get you fined.
But in cities without consumption lounges, well, there just aren't
many legal places to consume, especially for those who can't
(05:33):
consume at home. So yes, cannabis is legal in California.
By lighting up in public, it can still land you
a fine. I feel like it's kind of like being
invited to a party with no designated dance floor. So
for a quick visual guide to where you can and
can't consume in the Golden State, check out our cannabis
(05:56):
consumption sheat sheet available on this episode's showpage at greenbelife
dot com. You know, should you be able to light
up in the park, at a concert, on your front porch.
Public cannabis consumption it remains one of the most hotly
debated topics and one of the most misunderstood aspects of legalization.
(06:21):
Supporters say cannabis brings relief and that forcing people to
hide it is unfair, especially for medical users. Opponents they
often object to the smell, they just don't like it,
or they worry about the message it sence. Well, let's
be honest, a lot of that discomfort comes from decades
(06:44):
of drug war stigma. Let's see what our team at
greenbe Life Cannabis, our team of cannabis enthusiasts at Greenbee
Life had to say about spoken in public, Have iver
consumed in public? And have I ever experienced any stigma
associated with that?
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Green Bee Life.
Speaker 7 (07:08):
Stoolish?
Speaker 8 (07:12):
Is it against a law of consumer probment?
Speaker 9 (07:14):
Yes, you are not allowed any public consumption anywhere.
Speaker 10 (07:18):
I know that is not a legal thing. But I
was at a pool party. It was birthday party, and
I ended up meeting a couple of girls who were
really cool and down to smoke.
Speaker 11 (07:31):
Because we're working in the business to kind of toe
the line, but most of the time people are drawn.
It's a conversation starter and there's no problem with it.
Speaker 5 (07:39):
Thank you.
Speaker 12 (07:39):
Be surprised how many people love cannabis.
Speaker 13 (07:41):
You're not supposed to smoke cannabis in public. I know
it is what it is, so I respect people's wishes
and I take cannabis where it's appropriate.
Speaker 14 (07:50):
I do it in areas where it might be offensive
to other people, and it doesn't even cross my consciousness
that it could be wrong or that I could get
in trouble. It's only usually afterwards, and after I've put
it away that I realize, oh, rad, it's probably not good,
and I put it out.
Speaker 15 (08:05):
You know, I don't like to consume in public. I
feel pretty awkward whenever I do. I just don't want
to fan anyone else that might be around me.
Speaker 16 (08:14):
I was that same person. I was just like, very shy.
You don't want to do too much. But then you
see on the beach. You can go to different parts
of town and that's all you smell in the air
is just the fresh aroma of cannabis, and it's so
refreshing because it's not violence or drugs going on or
anything in a negative way. It's like a beautiful beach setting.
Speaker 14 (08:32):
I haven't gotten in trouble, but my friends have definitely
gotten in trouble for smoking cannabis on.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
The beach, which should be illegal.
Speaker 14 (08:38):
You shouldn't be able to do that, get in trouble
for smoking on the beach.
Speaker 8 (08:41):
That's what life's about, you know, especially.
Speaker 7 (08:43):
Here in California.
Speaker 10 (08:43):
Another girl shows up to the party, and she shows
up with her parents, and these girls that I want
to smoke with get kind of shy and they're like,
we should go smoke around the back of the house,
so nobody sees. And I thought about it for a second,
and then I realized, No, people are drinking alcoholic beverages
around the back of the house. This is exactly the
(09:06):
problem we're dealing with. We need to show people not
only is this acceptable, it's safe and it's okay to
do around other people.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Would I consume in public? Yes, because I would. It's
time to crush the stigma, right. We don't want to
perpetuate it. But no, I haven't, and I'm sure I
would feel it in my bones that, oh, I can
get in trouble for this, But that's a fear I
(09:38):
need to go toward, so I could rewire and deprogram
that conditioning.
Speaker 16 (09:45):
All those stigmas that you have in your mind are
being broken just by this beautiful scene that you have.
So of course I want to enjoy that. I want
to have like my feet up in a hammock and
have my favorite blunt. So getting to do that in
Los angele List, getting to do that around the world,
it liberated me to say, it's not hurting anybody. I'm
(10:05):
not going to be around children.
Speaker 15 (10:06):
There's kids around, I'll definitely not consume a public not
around the kids right now.
Speaker 8 (10:12):
Yeah, not around kids.
Speaker 17 (10:13):
I don't think they should be exposed to it.
Speaker 8 (10:15):
My grandfather was a chain smoker.
Speaker 17 (10:17):
I remember clouds of smoke, being in the living room,
trying to watch cartoons through the clouds of smoke.
Speaker 8 (10:22):
I knew I was never going to be a smoker.
Speaker 16 (10:24):
But some of my cousins that was in the same room,
they went the other way, like, oh, I can't wait
to blow my own cloud.
Speaker 13 (10:29):
It's funny how if you try to smoke cannabis in public,
which I know it's illegal, it's so frowned upon with
people who just are so comfortable with cigarette smoke.
Speaker 8 (10:39):
But there's nothing wrong with it.
Speaker 12 (10:40):
I think there should be some more conversation.
Speaker 5 (10:44):
About public consumption.
Speaker 12 (10:46):
If you can smoke a cigarette in public and a
designated smoking area, you should be able to smoke marijuana.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
I think cigarette smoke is gross. Yeah, marijuana smoke is dank,
dank or gross. There's a room for both sides of
the story. But cigarette smoke nothing dank about that. Listen.
(11:16):
What we need to do here is we have to
have room for nuance. We can advocate for respectful use.
We don't flinch at alcohol or cigarettes and designated public spaces.
So why are we still whispering about weed? Cannabis deserves
the same respect. Freedom and responsibility can and should go
(11:41):
hand in hand. The key is balance normalization with mindfulness,
common sense, you know. And a perfect example that I'd
like to share today of drawing the line between normalization
and shame without having to give up some and liberties
and freedoms is exactly where Jeneine Moss, creator of Enemy Bags,
(12:06):
comes in. Janine is what filmmaker Wendy Boorman, who wrote, produced,
and directed the award winning documentary Women of Weed, coins
a puffer jet. I got any pufferjettes out there? Come on,
we need more puffer jettes. You're out there. So Jeanine
is not just a fashion visionary. She's one of the
(12:30):
original architects of where discretion meets design in the cannabis space.
Back in twenty fifteen, Janeine founded Enemy, the first high
style accessories brand crafted specifically for women who wanted to
carry cannabis without compromising on class, style or sent control.
(12:57):
Didn't want to offend anybody maybe wanted to exercise a
little discretion, but didn't want to have to feel like
they were hiding it necessarily. So Annibe revolutionized the fashion
cannabis landscape with its stigma shattering line of odorproof handbags,
hits and cases. They were as smart as sleep and
(13:23):
a bold pr strategy. Viral social media buzz and over
two hundred media features later led to the brand completely
selling out its inventory, proving that we can have discretion
without shame, and that demand for elevated cannabis lifestyle products,
(13:44):
especially for women, are real and is rising now. Although
Annaby closed in twenty twenty, Janine's influence it hasn't faded today.
She's the founder of our Front Solutions, where she advises
startups Fortune five hundreds on bold branding, communications strategy, and
(14:09):
breakthrough marketing across emerging industries. She may have lit the
match that started the odor proof revolution, but she is
still very much on fire. Janine understood something fundamental. You'll
want to carry your yoga mat in a trash bag, right,
(14:31):
so why treat your cannabis that way? When you reach
into your purse. The last thing you want is for
it to smell like a growhouse. Yet, for women who
consume cannabis responsibly, discretion and dignity were often afterthoughts and
product design. That's where Janine stepped in and Annabe answered
(14:53):
with a line of chic confidence boosting cannabis accessories that
were as intentional as they were beautiful. Let's have a
look and listen. Thanks for joining us today. Thank you,
I had time to visit your beautiful, beautiful both and
tell us a little bit about Aniby spelled like cannabis
(15:17):
without the sea, but we pronounce it the fancy French way.
Of course, you're the co Quchianel of cannabis.
Speaker 5 (15:22):
Right so Aniby. I'm the CEO of Annibe, c O
Foumily yep and founder, and we are a lifestyle brand
that's serving the cannabis consumer and particularly upscale women. So
we're very interested in making our lives better, more convenient,
more secure, and more fashionable. We make really high quality,
(15:44):
well designed, discrete products. This is not about emblazing something
with a cannabis leaf or a barb marley or a flag,
a Jamaican flag. This is about your real, everyday life,
living it the way you like to live it, keeping
your private life private and sharing it with whoever you want,
and being able to go where you want you know,
(16:06):
and feel confident and secure and discrete when you do it.
Speaker 2 (16:09):
And the mechanism for that is is.
Speaker 5 (16:12):
Ah, well, that's the secret sauce. So the secret sauce
to our products starts with I'm going to say it
starts with a bag that you wanna carry. I mean,
if you didn't really love this bag. And by the way,
I'm a huge fan of Chloe and Prada and you
know some of the greatest brands. I'm sure you are too.
Speaker 2 (16:29):
And i'd imagine they don't offer.
Speaker 5 (16:33):
This secret sauce. So some of our products are to
go inside you're already fabulous bag, and some of our
products are the bags. This is a good example of
one that goes inside the bag. This is a Maya.
You can take this sauce now, It's just it looks
like a cosmetic kit, although it has cute little feet
on the bottom. So if you put it on the
very nice those red wine, Oh.
Speaker 2 (16:56):
Those are adorable. It elevates it, Oh, elevates it like
like your experience.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
And then so you know, let's say you put this
in your toe right now, you're going into the restaurant.
You stick your phone in the exterior.
Speaker 2 (17:11):
What beautiful lining by the way.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
You purple and golder our color?
Speaker 2 (17:15):
Oh wow, the detail. Let's look at that line in there.
Speaker 5 (17:20):
So you will often find, if not always, a purple lining.
What else?
Speaker 2 (17:25):
It's beautiful. It's just such a meat sheet compartments.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
Right, So we created something called aroma block technology, and
what it is is it's layers of resin film that
are in between the exterior leather and sometimes vegan leather
and the interior lining. The purple. There's this resin film
which traps the scent, and then it's sealed with an
air type zipper. See how the zipper doesn't look like
(17:49):
all zippers. Wow, so this is air tight. So this
entire thing is outoproof. You could put a stinky bud.
You could smoke something out of pipe and throw that
stinky thing in. Or let's say you have tinctures or
CBD that you carry every day for medicinal purposes. You
don't want tom bouncing around on the bottom of your
bag and getting things sticky and nasty you put it.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
If they do bring, they're going to release an odor.
Speaker 5 (18:12):
You will never ever get that odor out. Wow, we
have little pockets like these pockets designed.
Speaker 2 (18:19):
Now, that's very unique for a tote this size.
Speaker 5 (18:23):
That's right for a clutch, right, they usually don't have to.
There's my lighter, there's my matches in this bag, I
got myne oh, and this is your actual, but I'm
going to show you my actual. So they always have
a room of block technology. They always have the special
pockets for stuff, and they always have our purple lining.
And they're always designed by women for women.
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Oh why you can get the uh yes, And even
though this has a utilitarian purpose to block odor, it's
it's esthetically so pretty. Not seeing the zipper, it looks
like a fashion statement. Well it is, it's And now
why the Maya, Well, how do you name the oh?
Speaker 5 (19:03):
Okay, Well, that's just a little nod to the fabulous
women of weed. I mean. Maya is named after Maya Angelou.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
It was perhaps one of the greatest.
Speaker 5 (19:13):
Cannabis consumers of all the time. Oh yeah, you didn't
know that she was Maya, Maya Angela. She says that
the reason why she made it through all of her parenting.
I think she was a single mother for a while. Yeah,
so she consumed cannabis. You know, I have a lot
of fun. She's had a lot of great quotes by
a celebrated cannabis consumer.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
Maya Angela.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
And this is the Lady g and I I'm not
going to tell you who that's named after, because I
think you probably already know.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
Ga.
Speaker 5 (19:41):
That's right, Ah exactly. We name them after the great women,
the women who have been outspoken about it, and we
want to pay a little homage to the early wonderful.
Speaker 2 (19:52):
So this is the Lady g Oh, and this is
the founder's choice, at least for today.
Speaker 8 (19:59):
What you're wearing.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
I have to say, this is usually my beautiful vibe because.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
You know, it goes with everything. But we see it
looks very nice.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
This.
Speaker 18 (20:07):
I like this.
Speaker 5 (20:08):
I like this, and it looks fabulous with you. So
look at look at how a lady g just yeah
what So it's convertible. So we're all about utility, and
the reason is is because we women, I have lives
that are very complicated, and we need stuff that makes
it better, easier.
Speaker 2 (20:27):
It's such a change, it's such a pain to have
to change your bag.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Right, So we've got some really cool things to work on.
That can't say too much, but this is Lady G.
I use her all day because I can get everything
in it.
Speaker 2 (20:40):
And you consume.
Speaker 16 (20:41):
I do.
Speaker 5 (20:42):
I always have since I was a teenager growing up
in Venice Beach, California. But when I moved to New York,
I have a career in marketing and branding. You know,
everybody's much more discreet. So that's where I got my
bas shops, just learning how to survive in New York
with the million of other women.
Speaker 16 (21:01):
Just like me.
Speaker 2 (21:02):
And there are millions of others that's.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Right, and they are consuming too, and they were my peers.
They're at ad agencies, they're in the music business, they're
working for comcasts, they're at city hall, they're everywhere.
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Not that couch locked stereotype of a song.
Speaker 5 (21:16):
No, because especially women, we're not like that. We like
a little buzz when especially if they're not drinks. I'm
not a drinker, really, I just because I grew up
on cannabis. I just never turned into a drinker. Sure,
And so when I always went to parties and everybody's drinking,
you know how much fun it is to be the
only one who hasn't been drinking at a party. So
you have to you have to sneak out and go
(21:38):
and have a puff.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
You want to feel elevated and lifted, and you want
to laugh at their jokes, especially when they're not funy.
Speaker 5 (21:46):
That's important. So I developed ways of doing this right,
And I would sneak out with the other women and
we would see each other heading for the door at
a party, right, yeah, tune into that group four twenty
cod that's right exactly, and then you're out there and
then you're going back and listen. It could be a
(22:08):
business party. In one case, in the case where we
got actually give you my aha moment, we were going
to a comedy club, but it was all City Council
that was in there, so we couldn't go in smelling
like and all these women who were driving Mercedes and
carrying Louis Witan and here we are pulling baggies. It's
completely ridiculous. Oh my, can't find anything. Next thing, you know,
(22:30):
we're all in this car at a Mercedes and it's
all smoky, and we're all smelling. We're going and we're
all going, oh no, we're going into this thing. So
who's got perfume, who's got tic TACs, who's got some
hand cream? So we're pulling all this stuff out and
it was like, we're not guilty teenagers. What the hell
are we doing?
Speaker 19 (22:48):
Yes?
Speaker 5 (22:48):
And this is not a devil's weed, right exactly. So
so the next day, I'm gonna find us a kit.
Couldn't find one. We're set in motion the future animy.
Speaker 2 (23:00):
Now I'm going to look at comedy clubs sponsored by
city council. Who's carrying an animy?
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Well, yeah, when you're part of the tribe, you come
to a part of the tribes, this symbol here, it's beautiful,
which is how you know it's an animy. But we
never put outside because we're discreet. No, right, So you
have to be in the know.
Speaker 2 (23:20):
What would be your goal to destigmatize cannabis. So we
still need it for privacy, the concealment, but.
Speaker 5 (23:29):
You're going to do a couple of things. One thing
is I want everyone to see women as a market
in cannabis. And the reason is is if you're not
recognized as an economic force, then nothing's ever made for
you and you have no influence.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
So ah, the supply and amaze exactly.
Speaker 5 (23:48):
So women have been there, but nobody knew it. There
was always all these men things, right, There was never
anything for women when I created this. There was nothing
out there for women. So now there is. So that's
one of the goals is to continue that process of
making women important.
Speaker 2 (24:02):
That's nice.
Speaker 5 (24:03):
And another thing that we want to do is we
just want to serve the cannabis lifestyle. So we're really
a lifestyle brand. So whatever will make your life better
as you consume cannabis and you go about your life,
whether you're carrying it medicinally all day long, right and
you want to keep it away from your kids, or
if you're recreational and you just don't think that you
(24:26):
should be carrying baggies and tea tints anymore. Yes, and
you're ready to be as kind to your cannabis as
you are to your tennis racket or your interred or
your wallet or your glasses.
Speaker 2 (24:41):
You know what, Cannabis is a choice, and it's nobody's business,
nor should it be anybody's business.
Speaker 5 (24:47):
So and you should be able to go where you want,
do what you want, be responsible with it, and not
fear any unwelcome interactions.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
And enjoy the journey.
Speaker 5 (24:59):
Enjoy the.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yes, enjoy the journey. I always like to quote Betty
Davis here. If you want a thing done well, I'll
get a couple of little broads.
Speaker 19 (25:20):
To do it. H She knew, And.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
You know, I really adhere to Janine's philosophy. If it's
something I lived by, cannabis is legal, It's helped me,
It's helped horrific chronic back pain. And it's now it's
time to make it civilized. She's she's spot on, absolutely right.
(25:47):
She demonstrates she has showed us a discretion. It isn't
It doesn't have to be about shame and four twenty
code and hiding. It's about choice and having cannabis products
that reflect our lifestyle, not define it. While Janine sparked
(26:10):
the movement, brands like Revelry. Revelry, Oh my god, they
have the best boaterproof products. We have them in our store.
This is their cooler for the summer. It is incredible.
Greenbelife dot com we have a great curation of storage
(26:31):
and of odorproof bags. So Revelry, while I like them,
is they're continuing this evolution. They offer odor proof solutions
that are practical. They're practical, they're durable, and they're design forward.
They're built for life on the go. The revel rebags,
(26:54):
they're water resistant, they're carbon filtered, and they're ready for
whatever venture you're taking your flower on. Whether you lean sporty,
sleek or tactical. These revel reproducts they let you move
through the world with style and security. You can find
rebel Rebags and other wonderful curation of elevated cannabis lifestyle
(27:19):
gear in our Greenbee Life Hive. Whenever I find something wonderful,
I like to share it because discretion and dignity should
always go hand in hand.
Speaker 10 (27:32):
And you know, I.
Speaker 2 (27:36):
Hope and a Bee could make more bags. But if
they don't, there's a lot of other good brands. And
while they did sell them all out, I have about
six left, just saying, just saying, so you know, we've
talked about public discretion, right where can we smoke them?
(27:57):
Are out? And how do we stash it? But what
about how you treat your cannabis at home? You know,
gone are the days of hiding your flower in a
shoe box, under the bed top shelf closets or in
ziploc bags. Today's we have choices, guys, and we have options,
and your stash deserves it. From humidity controlled metal cases
(28:21):
to carved wooden boxes. I've got Marley Natural back there
next to the NBC sign beautiful walnut sustainable woodlock box
to artisan glass jars. Four twenty Science has these beautiful jars.
They're great for gifting flower. They're not dark, so I
(28:46):
want to store flower in it, you want to do
it in a dark container. But what a wonderful, wonderful
They have all different designs and patterns and burnt burnt is.
They have beautiful rolling trades. But they also have these wonderful,
wonderful ceramic jars. Seal I prooftops. This is the berries
(29:12):
and cream. They have beautiful wood at the top that
they use for the rolling trays. They also have borel
so really nice. I mean, decorative storage is now part
of the cannabis lifestyle, and I truly believe in the
(29:32):
movement we're trying to do on the road from you know,
prohibition to legalization, legacy to legalization. When you treat your
cannabis with care and intention. You're honoring your ritual, your
wellness and yourself and you know you should be able
to with cannabis. I pose the question to Team g
(29:52):
B where do you store your cannabis at home? And
I would like to share. Let's have have a listen.
Speaker 8 (30:05):
That is a great question.
Speaker 18 (30:06):
Where do I keep my cannabis at home?
Speaker 3 (30:10):
Bring me like.
Speaker 18 (30:14):
Bullet, Wow, everywhere it's not good. There's no place in
my house that cannabis has not touched. So it's in
my backyard, in my garden, it's in my kitchen, in
my cabinet.
Speaker 20 (30:30):
I actually have a little space outside to store my cannabis.
It has the stash logics, my bud vase, all my
acruturements are safely up above and away.
Speaker 8 (30:40):
I have like a little shrine. No, I'm just kidding.
I have a little box I keep all my like
my papers and a little grinder together. Yeah. I try
to keep it all in one spot so I don't
lose it, like my car keys.
Speaker 10 (30:52):
I have a little cosmetics bag with handles on it
that I keep my cannabis in.
Speaker 20 (30:59):
You have the crossover all these fortresses to get to
my cannabis because I need to keep it safe away
from my children, out of precious hands and eyes.
Speaker 2 (31:06):
You definitely want to keep it out of reach of children, animals, pets,
especially if it's edibles or anything that you know could
accidentally be consumed.
Speaker 11 (31:18):
All of our you know, edibles and other products are
stored in a drawer and secure, but the flowers we
keep kind of up on a bar.
Speaker 15 (31:25):
I don't keep my cannabis in any place particular. There's
no miners in the house, so I usually keep it
in a drawer. I have some flour in a small
little jar that I keep nice, cool and dry in
a drawer.
Speaker 19 (31:38):
I have a metal foul can it next to my bed,
and the top one it it's a lock, so it
can be locked. We don't lock it we have no
reason too, but if for babysitting or something, we could
lock it.
Speaker 13 (31:49):
We have a coffee table that has a lower shelf
that's normally where it's stored, just right there on the
bottom with our goal grinder jar flower.
Speaker 12 (31:57):
We have a cannabis bar in our home, so alcohol
is actually put up in a cabinet and our cannabis
is out in the open and available for anyone to
actually consume.
Speaker 8 (32:10):
I don't hide it. I keep it out in the open.
I try to be social with it, and I try
to offer to people who are my friends and guests
or my roommate.
Speaker 2 (32:20):
I keep my tincture in my kitchen where my cordless
phone is. Yes, I still have a landline.
Speaker 4 (32:28):
I have a coffee table with a drawer, and it's
all organized by strains, the type of strain it is.
And with the new packaging, you have these nice jars
with all the information on them.
Speaker 7 (32:41):
So yeah, it's very organized.
Speaker 19 (32:44):
And then my girlfriend, she has her own separate little place.
She keeps it in a little tupperware thing. I'm trying
to get rid of that tupperware move everything into this
one place because I feel like it's more safe, and
I'm like, ohcde kind of guy, and everything in one place.
Speaker 2 (32:59):
I like, before I sit down to read or watch television,
I stop by there, check to see if I have
any messages, and take a little bit.
Speaker 11 (33:10):
We're constantly getting samples and amazing new flower to try.
So we've got twenty different strains so when our friends
come over, they can check out different bridles and strains
and it's kind of at the Forefront Front Center.
Speaker 4 (33:23):
I have eighteen eighths right now at home, different strains.
I like to have variety and many different strains, and
I don't like to compromise with price, because you want
tested product, you want clean product and high quality.
Speaker 10 (33:39):
I'm not just conscious about the quality of the cannabis
I'm using because I'm using it for medicinal purposes. I'm
conscious of the papers that I'm rolling it with. Now
I've started cutting off the glue strip on my rolling
papers and taking away more of the paper, and it's
such a smooth smoke. It's really a nice It's that way.
Speaker 17 (34:01):
Where do I keep my cannabis. I keep it in
a computer desk in the drawer right here to my left,
so it's like within hands reach.
Speaker 13 (34:09):
If it's tincture, I keep it in my cabinet, so
then that way it doesn't spoil. But for the most part,
my cannabis is like an arm stretched away.
Speaker 16 (34:19):
In my living room, I have a nice little jar
on my table. Then I have a bookshelf as well
that has like a few different strands in the bookshelf.
Speaker 17 (34:27):
I still hide it from my parents so they don't
know it's there. But yeah, it's right there on the
desk in the computer, and the bong is hidden somewhere
else because it's too big.
Speaker 10 (34:41):
I have a separate space for my dad brig and
all my little dabs, which I guess I don't do
too often, but I have them for just in case,
and I keep that like on a desk in my closet.
Speaker 16 (34:53):
In my bedroom, I have and Indica hybrids like on
my bedside table. And I just always keep a pre
rolled in every ash tray, and there's an ashtray in
every room.
Speaker 14 (35:05):
I have an ashtray sitting on top of my record
layer with a half smoked joint there. I have an
ashtray right by my bed on my night stand with
a half smoked joint there. I have some tinctures in
the night stand. I have a jar of flower in
there too.
Speaker 18 (35:20):
It's in my bathroom and my bath bombs or my
hip body wash.
Speaker 5 (35:25):
It is in my bedroom on my rolling tray.
Speaker 18 (35:30):
Nowhere you can not find cannabis them out.
Speaker 14 (35:33):
Then, I'm usually surprised when I find cannabis other places.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
But it's everywhere.
Speaker 5 (35:37):
It's everywhere.
Speaker 12 (35:40):
Part of de stigmatizing the plant.
Speaker 5 (35:42):
To be honest, we don't need to hide it anymore.
Speaker 11 (35:44):
We like to have it out so when people come
over they can talk to us about it and they're like, well,
you have cannabis out.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
You're not worried.
Speaker 11 (35:50):
It's like, well, we work in cannabis and we believe
in what it's done for us and our friends, and
so here and check it out.
Speaker 2 (35:59):
For the complete episod.
Speaker 19 (36:00):
So please visit greenbe life dot com. Thank you for watching,
and please subscribe.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
That's great. So a pro tip that I'd like to
throw in is store your flower in a dark, cool
place and ditch the plastic your flower and your lungs. Well,
thank you, speaking of your lungs and of discretion and
smoking in public places or at home around people. There
(36:36):
is a whole cloud culture when it comes to the smoke.
But we also have vaping devices as well. And it's
interesting because I read something that really caught my attention
about cloud culture smoking versus vaping, and you know what
(37:00):
I say, ditch the plastic. We've got now more civilized
ways to store our stash. According to a study I
read it, John Hopkins Medicine said that vaping dry herb
(37:21):
cannabis may expose you to fewer harmful chemicals than smoking.
So smoking versus vaping not only on a discretionary level,
but on a health level. And you know what's also
interesting about dry herb vaporizers versus smoking doesn't have to
just be cannabis. Many people now I've discovered, are vaporizing
(37:46):
herbs like lavender, peppermint, even eucalyptus. Now you add cannabis
to the mix and you've got a cleaner, more customizable experience.
So I caught up with the ladies Mary Jane University
and they had some interesting things to say and products
to show me dry portable dryer vaporizers, and I asked
(38:09):
them about spoken versus vapor Let's let's have a quick list.
Speaker 9 (38:12):
So this is known as a dry herb vaporizer. I
mean you can use the flower. It's different than a
vape pen.
Speaker 2 (38:19):
Wow.
Speaker 7 (38:20):
So and then I also have this is the Hydrology nine.
Speaker 21 (38:25):
It is also a dry herb vaporizer, but it has
a water filtration system.
Speaker 7 (38:30):
So this one's pretty high tech. This is even made
from space metal.
Speaker 9 (38:36):
We are a long way from the tent over the
rocks in the Yeah, now we are, We've come a
long way.
Speaker 5 (38:45):
Whoa Eactly?
Speaker 2 (38:46):
So this delivery system is space metal.
Speaker 21 (38:51):
Yeah, long enough, it's supposed to be portable, durable, leak proof.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
What it's the idea is to get high. It should
be space metal, right, taste metal, yes, exactly right, and
it's pretty easy just.
Speaker 21 (39:10):
And everything's that really low temperature, so you're not going
to see a big plume of smoke.
Speaker 7 (39:15):
It's going to be a vapor, so I can taste
the flavor.
Speaker 22 (39:19):
You're getting the purest like form of the medicine when
you're vaporizing as opposed to lighting it. You get the
butane from the lighter or whatever other chemical that it
goes with. Like an edible if you have a brownie,
you're eating the sugar as well as you know, the
flour and.
Speaker 5 (39:39):
Glute and all that stuff.
Speaker 7 (39:41):
So this is one of the best most effective ways
to medicate.
Speaker 22 (39:46):
And then as you can see, they're convenient on the
go and this Cloudius nine is just fun at parties.
Speaker 21 (39:53):
Well, now you long battery life to think about three
hours on a good full.
Speaker 2 (39:57):
Charge really now, and I don't smell anything, so there's
not secondary smoke with this.
Speaker 5 (40:04):
Well, it's not smoke, it's vapor.
Speaker 7 (40:05):
It's vapor, So it's actually just.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Some of them, you know, they some people.
Speaker 22 (40:12):
If there's a culture with the clouds, there's a cloud culture, you're.
Speaker 21 (40:16):
Going then you can turn the temperature up if you
would like to get more of that smoke cloud.
Speaker 9 (40:23):
And actually that your next item is all about the clouds.
Speaker 21 (40:26):
Yes, So this one is kind of equivalated to a dabreak,
like a portable dabrig because this is going to be
mostly for your concentrates and.
Speaker 7 (40:38):
It has this has a quad coil, so it's going
to get really hot. This one's going for that heat.
You can you can see inside there, there's four little oils.
Speaker 5 (40:49):
You just put your.
Speaker 7 (40:50):
Concentrate right inside there. Put it back together. This one's
really cool because it has this magnetic closure.
Speaker 5 (40:58):
So it's sam you do another demo.
Speaker 6 (41:08):
A lot of fun.
Speaker 7 (41:09):
Yeah, you have deep CBD, you know, yes we can.
Speaker 9 (41:16):
We like to make it a light experience. And like
I said, as far as the ingestable THHC, that's limited
to five. And when you eat something that's gonna stay
with you much longer than when you smoke something.
Speaker 7 (41:28):
Yeah, when it's processed by your liver.
Speaker 2 (41:31):
Now, could you have just CBD and not even thc
mm hmm.
Speaker 9 (41:35):
There are CBD concentrates and there are strains that are
higher in CBD.
Speaker 2 (41:43):
I really enjoyed sitting down with the women of Mary
Jane University. We compared they compared for me popular vaporizer brands,
and I'll tell you I was blown away by Da
Vinci blown away part of the pun the Da Vinci
(42:05):
Packs stores in Bickle. There are some really really interesting
discrete modern forms of smoking which studies are showing could
have fewer effects when it comes to lung health. So
(42:26):
the portable dry herb vaporizers that I was most impressed
with was cloudy is nine Da Vinci Packs stores of Bickle,
And this is on my quest to find the best ones.
We do offer at Grainbee Life, a marketplace of very
top shelf, top tier curated brands. If I find something good,
(42:52):
I bring it back to the hive and I like
to share it. So those are definitely popular and trending,
discreete modern devices with no secondhand smoke or odor. And yeah,
it's interesting, it's worth looking at that. In fact, I
even was speaking to someone called in and said that
(43:15):
they wean themselves off of cigarette smoking by getting a
portable dryer vaporizer using tobacco and then adding and diluting
the tobacco, mixing it, making a blend with other herbs,
including cannabis, and eventually down to no tobacco in the vapes. So, hey,
(43:38):
it's interesting. If you have any interesting thoughts stories, share
them with us. We'd love to know. So from health
to discretion dryer vaporizers, they seem to be leading the
evolution of cannabis consumption. Now I would like to turn though,
(43:59):
speaking of wanting to hear from you, We've got a
couple of good listener questions here.
Speaker 15 (44:05):
We have.
Speaker 2 (44:07):
Tom from west Lake Village. Tom Tom is asking how
do I tell my family on pro cannabis so that
I don't have to leave my house every time I
want to smoke. Well, hey, those are two different issues.
Your family has to be okay with the scent of
the terpenes. I would educate them on the terpenes, but no.
(44:30):
First seriously, Tom, great question, you know, and good for
you for wanting to share it with them. Some families
are more open than others. Family dynamics, those are as
unique as cannabis cultivars. So I would say, start with
your why. Start with your why, whether you're consuming it
(44:52):
for sleep, pain relief, or just peace of mind, and
peace of mind should not be minimized. I think it's underrated.
Speak from your personal experience, how you're benefiting from it,
and try to explain that there aren't alternatives. If there
(45:13):
are not alternatives, or the benefits versus the side effects
or downside of the alternatives that exist, for whyever you're
using it. I mean, there are great articles out there.
We had a wonderful episode, episode three with a wonderful,
wonderful neuroscientist, doctor Menesh Gern and he was talking about
(45:38):
the effects of cannabis and psychedelics on the brain and anyway.
He spoke about how gen xers are moving away from
alcohol to cannabis, and he talked about the different effects
of cannabis on the brain versus alcohol on the brain.
So I don't know how old you are. We don't
(45:59):
promote anyone under twenty one consuming it, but if you
need it and you're under twenty one for medical reasons
and you're under medical supervision, you know, every situation is unique,
but start with the why, start with why, and be patient.
Listen Listen when you say how can I talk to
(46:19):
them about it? Listen, really listen to their concerns. Dude,
I'm probably from their generation and it was drilled into us.
I mean, if I'm guessing your parents are probably children
of dare and it would have scared the bejeezers out
of me only less than ten years ago if I
(46:41):
knew one of my family members were smoking it. So listen, listen,
and be informed so that you could come back and
you can have a very empathic response to their concerns,
alleviate their concerns. Who knows, hopefully they'll be puffing and
(47:05):
passing with you sometime soon. All right, So start with
your why and do your homework. Be prepared, all right.
So next question, we've got Jill from Manhattan Beach. Jill.
Jill is saying, can you smoke or vape cannabis at
outdoor events like concerts or festivals in states that are legal? No,
(47:31):
let's the event has a special license for onsite cannabis consumption,
which is rare. Most venues follow state laws prohibiting public
use even in legal states, Jill. But some events are
able to get these special licenses for on site cannabis consumption.
(47:54):
But you got to check it out and find out First,
it's a trending question, especially as more festivals permit alcohol
and have these wellness zones. You know, cannabis consumers like yourself.
They're asking why they're still restricted even in legal state,
which takes us back to the clash between legalization and
(48:18):
venue specific rules. Normalization versus liability comes down to the
local counties, rules and regulations and whether the event especially
permitted for cannabis issues. All these are good questions. Guys,
We've got Judy Judy from San Diego. Hey, Judy, thanks
(48:41):
for listening. So Judy wants to know our cannabis consumption
lounge is legal everywhere and what can you actually do
in sidewise? Great question, great question. No, they're not legal everywhere.
They're not legal state wide in California, even though California
is a legal state. So why California just greenlit lounges
(49:03):
to serve food and host entertainment. It's a new twenty
twenty five law. Each individual city decides whether to permit them,
and local restrictions they vary widely. In approved lounges, what
can you do on them? You can typically smoke, vape,
(49:25):
or eat cannabis, and new laws may allow food and
entertainment alongside cannabis use. But as far as I know,
these lounges are not permitted to serve or offer psychoactive food.
(49:46):
So you maybe can bring your own edible in and
order a salad you want an infused salad dressing, got
to bring your own if it's a lapped So there's
confusion over state versus city rules, and what on site
consumption really means remains again hazy. So it's the state
(50:11):
versus city rules. So no your city rules. Okay, let's see,
I got time for one more, and I've got Anthony,
oh from out of California. Okay, Anthony from Ohio. Hey, Anthony,
thanks for listening. Anthony wants to know what's the difference
between public and public view and can I get fined
(50:35):
for smoking on my own balcony? Yes, you can. Even
if you're on a private property consuming cannabis in public
view like on a balcony or porch, it may still
leave you open to a fine, depending on again the
(50:57):
local ordinances. So the four it's very inconsistent. Consumers in
multi unit housing or city apartments are often caught in
a legal gray area personal property rights versus nuisance laws
and the need for clearer statewide guidelines. But guys, the
(51:20):
more respectful we are, the less of a nuisance we present,
then we'll have well our personal property rights will hopefully prevail.
So it's not what y'all light up, it's how you
show up. So responsibility, I think goes a long way
(51:43):
respect for our neighbors. So I hope that answers your questions.
Moving on to our cannabis glossary for the day. It
might seem like an obvious term, but today's term is
odorproof because there's a lot of hype out there. There
are these wonderful This is one of my leftover Annimy
(52:06):
bags and there's this is for real, true odor proof.
It doesn't just mean smell resistant. You gotta watch out
for the hype. It means serious engineering. It means carbon
lined filters, sealed water resistant linings. Revelry is a great
(52:28):
example and brand I have the cooler. They do have
smaller They even have these little tiny pocket money coin purses.
But you're looking for carbon line filters odorproof. What ouderproof
means is carbon line filters, sealed water resistant linings, rubber
(52:50):
seams and water resistant zippers. It's tech meat style doesn't
just mean smell proof, and it's If it's true odorproof,
it's great for keeping your gear private, safe and fresh.
Here's a fun fact. Some odorproof bags are even K
nine tested. Part of uh Animby's Going viral was a wonderful,
(53:16):
wonderful article in it's either Fortune magazine or Forbes, and
they wanted to test, really define what oderproof was. So
they took one of animy bags in Times Square in
New York before marijuana was legal in New York, so
they couldn't test it with marijuana. But they put three
(53:37):
things into it, a dead fish, cat food, and something
else equally normally, and they walked around Times Square and
they had they did the sniff test, they had people
smell it, and the only thing they could really smell
was the leather. So odorproof vutoproof has true meaning. It
(54:03):
doesn't just mean smell resistant, especially in the cannabis space.
So I have before we wrap up today, I have
some final thoughts. You know, today's conversation it wasn't just
about I know I mentioned this earlier where you can
light up. It was about how you show up. This
(54:25):
is going to help the movement, guys, and whether you're
coming out of the green closet, shopping for an outorproof
stash bag, or advocating for public consumption spaces, remember this
cannabis use. It can be elevated. It can and it
is classy, respectful and kind. It's not the outdated stereotypes.
(54:50):
And we've got to crush those and we lead by example,
right and we've got some wonderful brands that are emerging
to help us do that. It's not about hiding. It's
not about hiding in the shadows. It's about choosing how
and when we share this part of our lives, whether
you're lighting up, vaporizing, or locking it away in a
(55:14):
velvet lined box, how you consume reflects who you are,
and you're not defined by those outdated stereotypes. You're not
a pothead if you need a gummy to fall asleep
at night and stay asleep through the night, thoughtful, responsible, empowered.
(55:38):
I believe it was Snoop in a it was a
GQ interview who said, wherever I go, my step follows.
That's how you know I'm close. Well, good for you, Snoop,
And that's right. So whatever you're saying, as we wrap
up today's episode, I want to just point out now
(56:00):
how far we've come, because when it comes to drawing
the line between discretion and shame, we need to remember
four twenty. It didn't start out as a holiday, started
as a oode, a whisper, a ritual shared between a
few curious high schoolers chasing a secret stash after school.
(56:23):
It's more mystery than movement, and yet here we are,
decades later. Cannabis is no longer underground, guys. It's in documentaries, dispensaries,
dinner table conversations, and yeah, even on front porches. It's
no longer just about rebellion. It's about ritual, about relief,
(56:45):
and about reclaiming our relationship with a plant that connects us,
while respecting those who truly just can't stand, don't like
the scent, or are still influenced by decades a misleading propaganda,
because at the end of the day, cannabis is more
(57:06):
about than just getting high from what some legitimately register
as a pungent smell. It's about getting real, getting curious,
and getting well on your own terms, while respecting and
educating proponents, but staying well and keeping this industry well,
(57:31):
it requires more than good intentions. So if you care
about the future of public consumption laws, now is the
time to join me and raise our collective wisdom, curiosity,

(58:19):
building bridges, let's keep learning from each other, Let's keep
this conversation going together. Next week we've got more blooming,
so stay tuned until then. I invite you to share
this episode with someone who's curious, someone who's skeptical, or

place for them in this space. And remember, cannabis isn't
(58:42):
about just getting high, It's about getting well, being informed,
and living your fullest life. And here on just say no.
Where curiosity is Queen, I'll always keep it real, relevant
and rooted in truth. Have a great week, stay lit,

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
