12 Oct 2023 | Episode 145: Music and Cannabis With Slightly Stoopid | 00:28:33 | |
There is no feeling in the world quite like enjoying a concert on a summer night. The pandemic stripped us of that unique and awesome experience. Now, for the first time in years, many bands are returning to the road for live shows. The reggae, rock-fusion band Slightly Stoopid is among them. Their Summer Traditions 2022 Tour kicked off July 7 in Bonner, Montana. It’s the first in an epic concert schedule concluding in San Diego, California. The ensemble was formed by Kyle McDonald and Miles Doughty in the mid 90s, pairing a unique style of California funk with reggae-inspired roots. Over the past two decades, Slightly Stoopid’s sound has evolved but its message has consistently called for cannabis reform. The band launched its cannabis brand Stoopid Organics in mid 2021. Cannabis & Tech Today spoke with Doughty just before the band kicked off its summer tour to discuss his return to the road and why he’s been such a passionate advocate for cannabis the last twenty years.

10 Aug 2023 | Episode 137: Tech and Terps With Death Row Cannabis | 00:29:22 | |
“In the city, city of Compton … ” Go ahead, let your brain sing the rest of the song. 2Pac and Dr. Dre’s Grammy-Award winning track “California Love” topped the charts in the mid 90s, adding to Death Row Records acclaim as a hit-making label. The West Coast franchise launched in 1992 under the leadership of Marion “Suge” Knight and Andre “Dr. Dre” Young. A year later, the label signed Calvin “Snoop Dogg” Broadus, Jr. and released his first album, Doggystyle, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Skip past the conflicts and tragedy that defined Death Row in the late 90s and flash forward to 2022. Snoop Dogg, who found his start with the label before ultimately parting ways, took control of the company in February of last year and acquired rights to its trademarks. The label endured decades of controversy, bankruptcies, and multiple owners, but Dogg’s leadership is giving the brand a new foundation from which to build. Part of his approach to making the label relevant for today’s audience includes a segment devoted to cannabis. Death Row Cannabis, launched in Dec. 2022, is focused on offering quality products at an affordable price. Cannabis & Tech Today spoke by phone with Death Row’s legacy cultivator AK and Dogg’s sound engineer and self-described “weed confidant,” Shaggy. They discuss cultivation, technology, and what sets Death Row Cannabis apart from the competition. Cannabis Tech Talks are brought to you thanks to the support of Polyscience.

21 Sep 2023 | Episode 143: From Cancer to the Boston Marathon: Ethan Zohn’s Survival Story | 00:29:52 | |
When you hear the word “survivor,” what comes to mind? Perhaps it's the memory of a traumatic event you overcame or a hardship you endured. For some, “survivor” harkens to the reality television series of the same name, in which contestants compete for a hefty cash prize. For cancer survivor and Survivor competitor Ethan Zohn, it’s a bit of both. In 2002, Zohn won $1,000,000 on the third season of CBS’ Survivor: Africa. It would be his first of three appearances on the series. He also participated in several other national television shows, including Fear Factor, PitchMen, and The Amazing Race. While competing for the cameras, he was fighting another battle behind the scenes. Zohn was twice diagnosed with CD20+ Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. He spent years undergoing treatment, including two stem cell transplants. To help mitigate the symptoms of cancer treatment, Zohn turned to cannabis. He used the herb to treat pain, anxiety, nausea, and aid with sleep. Now ten years cancer free, he uses THC and CBD products to recover from marathons and demanding workouts. Cannabis & Tech Today spoke with Zohn via videoconference to discover what’s next in his journey of overcoming and thriving.

09 Jul 2020 | Episode 35 – ABSTRAX Tech – Enhancing the Cannabis Testing Process Through Science | 00:29:19 | |
On this episode of Cannabis Tech Talks, Managing Editor Patricia Miller interviews Maxwell and Kevin Koby of ABSTRAX Tech, a company specializing in botanical extraction, terpene, and aroma compound research. The Koby Brothers are taking a scientific approach to cannabis testing — far beyond quality control — and have developed a unique way to test for molecules often overlooked with standard testing techniques. The brothers were recently credited with the discovery of “the Gas” compounds, which are responsible for the dank, skunky aroma unique to cannabis. This refined testing will one day allow scientists to rank cannabis based on its unique chemical qualities, rather than through consumer reviews, which is how most cannabis is rated today.
