• New Year, Fresh Flowers: How to Store Your Cannabis and Being Cali Sober
    Dec 31 2021

    Happy New Year Bellas and Fellas, and welcome to 2022!

    We've been loving the summer heat in Aotearoa NZ, but the warmer temperatures aren't the best for keeping our dry flowers fresh, so in this episode, Kaya and Sis share their tips on how to store your cannabis to keep it fresher for longer.

    They also chat about being Cali sober, what this means, why more people are becoming Cali sober and how it's changing their lifestyle. We also discuss how Cali sober isn't a solution to ignore unhealthy relationships to substances, and if you are struggling, to ask for help through helplines, your doctor or your loved ones.

    Happy Blazing!

  • Strains, Names and Coming Back from Overconsumption
    Nov 2 2021

    Sis is back to chat about cannabis strains, what they are, and why Sativa and Indica don't actually reference the effects cannabis can have.

    Sativa is commonly said to be more energizing, and Indica leaving people "in-da-couch", so tune in to find out why this might not be the case.

    We also touch on the common measurements and quantities cannabis comes in, some rules around which way the joint goes once it's lit, and how to deal with overconsumption.

    Oct 26 2021

    With experience in both the legacy market and corporate cannabis, along with being a key decision-maker around the products available in a legal retail store, Akira also shares her experiences on what a legal market looks like.
