EP 207 - Cannabis and Spirituality with Stephen Gray

When Andrea asked if we could do a “Rant Episode” of the Wake + Bake Podcast, I was … not interested. After all, who wants to listen to a couple of ladies diss on our favorite plant? But, she’s persistent and came prepared to go off about some topics that had obviously been bugging her like… Budtenders being responsible for recommending medicine The dangers of the entire lab testing industry How terrifying frankencannabinoids are  And more We spent some time passionately discussing these issues that are plaguing the cannabis industry.  I’d love to tell you that by the end, we’d solved all the problems … but that didn’t happen. Instead, we found hope in the value of sharing our love of Cannabis with the world so that eventually, we could leave these issues in the past (and we decided we’d need a part 2). 👇Listen in and then, share what YOUR biggest rant is in the Cannabis space.  Show resource links: 🍪 Get the cookbook for only $4.20 https://go.wakeandbake.co/sales1723559439639 📚 Take the Free Webinar - 3 Steps to Launching Your Cannabis Wellness Business: www.cannabiscoachinginstitute.com/3steps 🎓 Learn more about becoming a Certified Cannabis Educator in as little as 12 Weeks: cannabiscoachinginstitute.com/ccep 🇨🇦 Visit Andrea at Reveal Cannabis: www.revealcannabis.com 🇺🇸 Get healthy edibles recipes from Wake + Bake: www.wakeandbake.co 🎙 Other Wake and Bake Podcast Episodes: https://wakeandbake.co/category/podcast/ 🍫 Use the code WAKEANDBAKE for $30 off at Ardent Cannabis: https://wakeandbake.co/ardent-cannabis

One of the major concerns and arguments about legalizing cannabis is safety. Will more kids get their hands on it and start using harder drugs? Will it cause our brains to turn into goo? Will it cause more violence? And… the biggie - will legalizing cannabis cause infinite 10-car pile-ups and untold amounts of fender benders in grocery store parking lots? For medical Cannabis users, this question is more personal. Is it safe to use my medicine and do daily activities? If I use Cannabis, will I lose my ability to drive safely? And if I am using Cannabis as medicine, can I get in trouble with the law? Andrea and Corinne sat down this week and looked at the data and the laws, and what they found was pretty incredible. If you use cannabis and drive a vehicle, this episode is for you. We’ll cover: - [ ] Is cannabis more or less safe than allergy medicine? - [ ] Can you get arrested for cannabis intoxication if you haven’t even used cannabis that day? - [ ] Is cannabis really causing more car accidents in legal states? We’re so excited to share what we uncovered with you. 👇 Drop your thoughts, questions, or experiences in the comments below.

Maybe you've heard that cannabis is likely being "rescheduled" in the US. Since this all began in late spring, our calls at the Cannabis Coaching Institute have been filled with countless questions and speculations. To get to the bottom of things, Corinne sat down and closely read the proposal. And what she found wasn’t exactly butterflies and rainbows. So, this brings us to the million-dollar question: Is this truly a step towards legalization, or is it something we’ve all been dreading—the corporate and Pharma takeover of this powerful plant medicine? Corinne sat Andrea down to share what she'd read and discuss what it all means. It was a real roller coaster of an episode for her poor Canadian heart. We're not just blowing smoke when we say that you will not want to miss this episode, and you’ll need to hop on it ASAP. If you’re a patient, industry professional, cannabis educator or coach, or you just love this plant, what’s happening could change everything. Unfortunately, there's a deadline approaching—July 22, 2024. Listen in today to find out why that date is so important. In our latest Wake + Bake podcast episode, "Is Weed Going to Be Legal?", we’ll cover: * What "rescheduling" of cannabis means * Whether or not cannabis will be treated like a pharmaceutical * What the new approach means for legal states and patients * The necessity of having "live freakouts" like Andrea does during the podcast * What we can (and should) do about it Tune in to get the full scoop and to find out how you can make a real difference in how cannabis is legalized in the US.
