#74 | With Bobby La Kalada

We welcome Bobby, extractor, grower and one of the founders of La Kalada cannabis social club in Barcelona. We talk about his native Italy, moving to Spain and the development of La Kalada into one of the best known and most influential cannabis clubs in Barcelona. Bobby tells us about K Gourmet, the Cosecha Cup and a brand new project: a la Kalada resort on the Thai island Koh Samui, with a dispensary and Italian restaurant. In the news segment we discuss the German and Czech governments legalization plans and the never-ending court case against Dutch coffeeshop De Blowboot. The Old Box contains an ancient Arab legend and Bobby offers some great advice to home growers and extractors in the ‘High Tea Potcast Kweekhoekje’, our home grow segment. Nog iets nieuws?
