US Chamber of Cannabis Podcast

Why are the Cannabis stocks jumping up nearly 50%? Are they finally going to legalize weed in the US? Or is this just another dog-whistle?

Last week, this administration said that we may see an executive order that reschedules cannabis and removes some of the restrictions.  Is this the path to legalization? Or is this just a small pit-stop on the road to some other crazy outcome?

Coming fresh off the Hemp Ban and MJ BizCon, join the professor as he explores the biggest breaking news in cannabis in 50 years and details what the difference is b...

The US Govt recently passed regulations to ban Hemp on November 12th, 2025. This could be a kill order an industry with 11 billion in annual sales, and it puts 320k jobs on the line. 

So why is Hemp in the sights on this administration? and why NOW?   

There is a lot of speculation that this could be the last nail in the coffin, but some think that this could also be the first step towards federal de-scheduling and legalization...a plot so crazy it just might work. 

It's been 1000 days since the last episode. Join...

Prices are found on every shelf, but which is the fairest in the land?  What's the price that you refuse to pay?  Do you only shop sales?

Depending if you are shopping off a medical dispensary shelf, rec dispo bin, or with a street cropper, the best products can quickly loose their appeal when you hear how much it costs.  For better or for worse, prices in cannabis are highly variable, and its hard to imagine we are talking about a plant given its expenses.

Sometimes it feels like our bodies are working against us...and our pain or problems linger and begin to rob us of our thoughts and energy.  

But I can tell you that the body wants to heal, but sometimes it is out of balance and doesn't know how to get better.  As we journey though our injury states, we must also navigate the landmines in our thinking as they try to tank our moods and remove our power.

There are folks out there who are curious about cannabis, but think that using it or continuing to use it will turn them into a substance abuser, burnout, or doper.

There are also folks out there who use a significant volume of cannabis, but are unsure if they have crossed the line of use into abuse.

With such a heavy stigma, it can be tough to judge and evaluate what is beneficial to our lives when there is so much misinformation and influence from the war on drugs.

Like food, much of Cannabis is up to personal preference.  Depending on time of day, biological need, and experience, the way cannabis interacts with our bodies will vary significantly...but that don't mean that quality is all completely 'relative'.  

NO one wants to have bad weed.  Cannabis goes through many changes as it is grown, harvested, and processed and that means that a great crop can end up under-cured, over-ripened, nicely fermented, or moldy and rotten.  

Jimmy L, Senior Cannabis buyer joins the show to t...

My cat coughs on hairballs like some potheads cough on bongs.  It makes you wonder, how does smoking weed at home indoors affect my pets?  

We all know second-hand smoke is dangerous, but have you ever heard of third-hand smoke?  Did you know some pets can get higher than people?
If CBD can be beneficial for pets, is THC only toxic?   
And what should I do if my Dog eats my Pot-Brownies?

Well Strap on in and find out in this episode where we talk about how to be responsible to your pets conce...

Most plants are green, but what makes certain flowers, fruits, and vegetables such brilliant hues of red, yellow, and blue?  Do the colors mean anything or is it all for the birds and insects?

Well my friends, Flavonoids are the answer.  Its why Roses are red and Violets are Blue.  
And why Purple Haze is purple.

In this episode, I am joined by Joe Looch, Cannabis Educator and Advocate, and we talk about the role of cannaflavins and flavonoids in cannabis and where to find them in tasty foods.  These amazing chemical compounds are resp...

The world is divided - and in no small part thanks to the media.  It has to stop.  

In this episode, The Professor investigates the tactics used to influence you between the lines, and uses two topics to show how persistent these forces can be - both in Cannabis and in the understanding of the differences in health of Men and Women.  

It can be hard enough just trying to find out helpful information on the internet without people irresponsibly and purposefully changing the data to fit a narrative.  Join me to understand how to c...

Do you know how to smoke weed like it's 1999?
Do you know kind of cannabis you get when you ask for 'middles' or 'sense'?
Do you know that dispensary weed is NOT the most expensive weed out there?

Some things change and some remain the same...and in this episode join the Cannabis Professor and Double D as they detail the critical cannabis events in their lives - some dating back to 1982, before some of us were even able to pack our own bowls?

Probably not appropriate for children...

Stress seems unavoidable, even beyond control at times.  Cannabis provides some relief, and for many it makes them go paranoid or anxious.   But that's not the whole story - and once the mechanism of stress can be better understood, we can turn the winds of conflict into winds of change and progress.  

Tue in to find out how stress, cannabis and cortisol can help you unlock the ability to persevere and focus - and if you work it - may even help you get what you want...

Not all chemicals are created equal - and not all cannabinoids are made in the same day.

Some start early, and some take time to ripen - and so today we are here to look at the first Cannabinoids, CBG and CBC, that the Cannabis plant grows in the trichome head and ask:

What do they do for the plant?
What do they do for humans?
And do they get you high - and can the keep you young?

After 20 years of smoking pot, what has Weed done to your life?

Does smoking weed everyday make you stupid?  What kind of effects does cannabis use have on the memory?  If you smoke weed, will you ever find a good job?  And what kind of lung issues should I expect to have over time?  

In this Episode, we talk about the ways cannabis can affect the way you live over 20 years of pretty constant use.   We discuss marijuana and subjects like work, drug tests, marriage, school, health, and the police to find out what kinds of si...

Live Resin Products are considered to be clean, pure, and tasty - but not all is as it seems...

Recently, a grower/processor released information on their *NEW* live resin cartridges and they said they added something into it to help...and it wasn't more terpenes?!

Then what the hell is in my cart?  What does Live Resin really mean if they can put in additives?  And why do Dabs seem hit harder than carts, even when its the same strain?

All this and more - tune in to find out the TRUTH! Duration: 00:38:30

Cannabis isn't the only massive new market in historic growth.  If you're hearing about crypto currentcy now, it's not too late.  The Future of money is now!

In this second episode centered on Crypto-Currency, I am joined by Chris L, a professional man here to discuss the nuances and finer points of Bitcoin and these new markets.  We talk prices, emotions, and how hard it is to change the way you think about money and security.

This episode is mostly crypto currency focused, so tune in if you want to understand what's what in the blo...

Cannabis and Crypto Currency - a match made in heaven.

People often fear what they do not understand, and first adopters and explorers are rare.  When New things are introduced to the world, some naturally run towards the opportunity and some back away...and some try to squash it because it threatens them.  

In this episode, yous host explores the similarities in Cannabis and Crypto, and how they have similar potential to change the way that humans live.  If you don't understand cryptocurrency, there is also a brief explanation of blockchain tech and why it is...

In such a subjective world like Cannabis, there are basically no standards.  When curious folks start exploring different areas of products, potencies and styles, issues can occur if you don't understanding where to begin.   You may be able to judge the amount of flower to roll up, but then you see a fat dab and feel like there's no way it looks like enough (and its actually too much), and don't get me started on RSO...

Cannabis has been around for a long long time, but cannabis science is very young.  As labs find new relationships between marijuana tests and rats, we ache for better data based on humans.  

The human Endocannabinoid System includes CB1 and CB2 receptors, and now it seems thy gotta make space at the table because testing is pointing to a third potential cannabinoid receptor - CB3 - and it is shares less than 15% similarity to CB1 and CB2.   This could have huge implications, so tune in and find out about the next phase of Cannabis healing!  They are also...

What happens when hundreds of passionate cannabis enthusiasts march on the State Capital on 420?

 Well, 420 is a holiday with the potential for great experiences, and today I celebrate my 20th 420 since using cannabis..and it ended up being the most unique 420 ever.  Today (4/20/21),  I was at the PA state Capital building in Harrisburg to see what goes on when you lobby the government for change and progress.  
And it was so much more than I expected...

So please tune in as we celebrate 420 with a look back at some memorable ones on record and desc...

Welcome, friends, to my celebration of 2 years of running this podcast, The Cannabis Professor.  I thought I'd take some time to reflect on just how much we've grown and what the path looked like to get here.

Variety is the strength of Marijuana.  It may be in the variety of the products and strains, as well as the variety in ways to consume and resulting effects.

But when a lab tries to figure out why, they come up with nothing...

But we have many more questions than answers - for instance -

Were you able to work?

The Cannabis Professor has Crossed 50 Episodes, and we are on the road to 100!

In celebration of this milestone - we are going to perform a human experiment with Cannabis.  Cannabis Professional and Amateur wrestler Rich Steve joins us to take on the hottest chip in the world - the famous ONE CHIP CHALLENGE - a Carolina Reaper coated tortilla chip that will make you feel the burn.

You see, there is a receptor in the human body called the Capsaicin Receptor (TRPV1) and this receptor is what makes you feel the pain of hot foods.  We...

After 20 years of using Marijuana, the Cannabis Professor finally was able to buy his first legal recreational weed through the Illinois Adult Use Recreational Program.

But not all is as it seems...

Access sounds wonderful, but paying near 100$ for an 1/8th of Cannabis flower will trigger most people I know into leaving faster then they arrived.  Edibles are great - but not if they are priced like getting car repairs done at the dealership.

So is it all its cracked up to be?  Is it joyous purchasing or buyer's remorse?  Is it worth it...

Did you know there is a type of THC that's legal and gets you high?  

Welcome to the Delta 8 THC experiment!  The 2018 Farm bill outlined what legal use of Hemp and marijuana really means, and it seems they may have been a tad hasty - because due to a potential loophole you can still get high on what some are calling 'WEED LITE'.  

But before you order a year's supply of Delta 8 THC Carts, there are many questions to be answered - How do you get Delta 8 THC?  IS it safe or dangerous?  Will delta 8 help...

As the COVID Vaccines roll out, there are a lot of questions about what to do, what to think, and what to value.   The internet provides, but at this point it seems to provide more BS than factual evidence.

So on today's episode, your Host, Scott G, will go over the main points of what each style vaccine entails, what eligibility stages mean (1a 1b 1c). and also let you now the exact details of his own recent Moderna Vaccine treatment - at least the first shot!

As we converse about great artists from Iggy Pop to Dr. Dre and Portishead, Ben takes us through the definition of what he describes as 'Slacker Rock' - different than stoner rock or krautrock - a...

The world runs on Dunkin, they say...

But I'd wager, that the world rolls on Cannabis.  The real question at hand is - What would you give up first,  Cannabis or Coffee?  Which do you prefer to have on a desert island, and which one do you think the world needs more - or would give up less?

This week, we have Keegan M. as a guest on the show - a PA dispensary manager and a Washington State native who 'spends significant money on coffee' - and he is here to give perspective on thi...

Of all the products in the land of Marijuana, Topicals frequently go ignored.  If they don't get you high, whats the point?  The skin is our largest organ, but no one wants to use it to dose their marijuana???  What Gives?

Although most folks prefer to use their dependable lungs for weed, there is topical product that is responsible for one of the top two highest times I've ever experienced, and for $20 bucks I was able to feel it for over 15 hours.  Curious about topicals now?

With all the ways to take in cannabis, eating it is one of the best ways to get a deep and healing effect.  

But not all products are created equal, and success depends on a bevy of factors like time of day, metabolism, product formulation, and even if you feel happy or stressed.

Join me to find out more about the intimate ways cannabis absorbs into the body when you eat it, and what things to know to help maximize the outcome.  This episode is all about digesting weed and the techniques to master you st...

For as long as many of us have been using cannabis, much of the details of the inner workings have been unavailable.  

But no longer...In today's episode, we take a closer look at what happens to THC as it moved from the joint to the bloodstream and what considerations we can think about as it moves around our bodies.  

You never get 100% of anything, and you'll find that sometimes you can't even get 50% of the THC  in your pipe into your brain.  We tackle the significant concepts to explain why that is the case here...

The numbers don't lie....but they don't tell the absolute truth either...

As we sip into a new year, its the perfect time to slip into a new understanding.   Although many folks can read the numbers as they are, what they mean is a lot less obvious.  The hunt for the best cannabis starts with potency analysis, but it doesn't end there and in this episode, you will find out why.

As humans, we often think more is more, and our military budgets, media, and movie run times really show this mistake.  Between the plant trichomes and the labs that test them, there is a lot of potential manipulation that can fudge the numbers and make labs look more desirable.
