How To Be a Female Canna-CEO with Franny Tacy
Release Date: 8/25/2023
Duration: 106320 Mins
Authors: Different Leaf
Description: In honor of National Women's Equality Day on August 26th, we're exploring what it takes to make it as one of the very few female CEOs in the legal cannabis and CBD industry.Across all US industries, women hold around 30 percent of CEO and C-suite positions. But in the cannabis industry, women only hold 22 percent of C-suite roles and just 8 percent of CEO titles. So how can more women successfully lead in a young, semi-legal industry like cannabis and CBD?This episode, host Brit Smith sits down with the so-called 'Dolly Part of hemp,' Franny Tacy, the founder and CEO of Franny’s Farmacy, to find out what it takes to be part of the 8 percent.After studying forestry and working in pharmaceuticals, Franny left what she calls the 'unhealthcare industry' and moved into agricultural education and activism, eventually becoming the first female farmer to plant hemp in North Carolina in 75 years. She's since grown from farming her own hemp and running a single CBD store in Asheville, N.C. to developing a high-end hemp product line and seeing Franny's Farmacy franchises in six states. She's continued to innovate with products like her hemp honey and pasta. And she's built meaningful partnerships with everyone from local farmers to celebrities, including fashion designer Christian Siriano, who's about to start selling Franny’s products in his own stores.Get your summer issue of Different Leaf magazine at DifferentLeaf.com and find your nearest in-person retailer at Differentleaf.com/on-the-newsstandFind us on social media @DifferentLeaf and find host Brit Smith @BritTheBritishCheck out our new merch line at xDifferentLeaf.com

But staff shortages and long wait times mean many vets still don’t get the care they need for the physical and mental issues associated with military life.As medical marijuana laws expand, more veterans are seeing MMJ doctors patch the gap in their healthcare needs. A growing number of vets report finding cannabis helps with PTSD, pain, anxiety, depression, and other service-related ailments. But cannabis is still federally illegal, and we're a long way off seeing it prescribed by VA doctors. In this episode, host (and veteran spouse) Brit Smith welcomes former Army Staff Sergeant Philip Lafountaine, the head of Retail and Security at 6Bricks dispensary in Springfield, Mass., to talk about how cannabis can help military veterans.SSG Lafountaine is a husband and father of three. Just a few years ago, he was a Team Sergeant in the 95th Civil Affairs Brigade (Special Operations: Airborne), with the 1st Special Forces Command in Fort Bragg, N.C.

Like millions of other veterans, Philip found cannabis was the only thing that helped him adjust to civilian life.Brit and Philip discuss his military experience, his transition into life after the Army, the medicines and therapies that did and didn't work for him at the VA, and how he found cannabis to be the perfect medicine and community to help him survive suicidal thoughts and deep depression.

In this episode, host Brit Smith sits down with Tommy Coriale, President and Head of Studio at Heavy Metal, to chat about the history of Heavy Metal magazine and its super-stoner 80s movie, how they figured out that so many HM fans also love pot, and how cannabis enhances our connection with mind-bending, experimental art as we see in their books.They also discuss smoking to enjoy live concerts, how pairing movies and marijuana can help us get lost in a story, and Tommy explains what kinds of futuristic stoner-experiences Heavy Metal has in store with Augmented Reality for fans who smoke their top-notch weed.Get your issue of Different Leaf magazine at DifferentLeaf.comFollow us on social media @DifferentLeaf and find host Brit Smith @BrittheBritish

Duration: 117660 Mins
Authors: Different Leaf
Description: Indigenous American tribes have used cannabis and hemp for rope, fabric, medicine, and spiritual use since the mid-1500s. But by the 1800s, they were forcibly separated from the plant by the US federal government, which illegally raided reservation grows, burned crops, and imprisoned growers.It wasn't until 2013 when Washington and Colorado legalized medical marijuana that Native American leaders reopened the discussion on tribal sovereignty regarding cannabis legalization. Soon, hundreds of tribal nations voted to allow the resurgence of hemp and cannabis on their reservations. But even a decade later, indigenous people in cannabis still face issues like illegal federal raids, state pushback, and a lack of access to capital. In this episode, host Brit Smith talks to leading Native American cannabis advocate Mary Jane Oatman, founder of the National Indigenous Cannabis Coalition and Tribal Hemp and Cannabis (THC) magazine.

Description: As a teen in Cincinnati, singer/pianist Carolyn Alexander realized what many other musicians know; that cannabis can help with creativity, focus, and performance anxiety. In 2016, Carolyn started selling her homemade infused baked goods at local gigs while studying at the world-class Berklee College of Music in Boston, and she learned just how many other musicians agreed that weed enhances music both on and off stage.Carolyn's vegan THC treats were immediately in high demand with her fellow music lovers, and @loudgirlgoodies was born. Seven years later, Carolyn is now baking above-ground in Taunton, Massachusetts, and her cookies are selling out again - this time on dispensary shelves. And she's still using cannabis to inspire new songs and get comfortable in front of a crowd.In this episode, host Brit Smith goes on the road to join Carolyn in the kitchen and talks about how using cannabis changes her relationship with music, from writing to listening to performing. Then they discuss the history of jazz and cannabis, and how the War on Drugs was designed in part as a way for the US government to suppress Black people from communing joyfully in jazz clubs in the 1930s. Carolyn also talks about the different experiences of smoking and eating edibles as a musician, the creative benefits of both using and taking breaks from weed and how she finds cannabis best works to help her get in the zone when she composes music. Finally, Brit tries some @loudgirlgoodies chocolate chip cookies and heads to Somerville to hear Carolyn play with her new band The Morning Kind.Get your spring issue of Different Leaf magazine at DifferentLeaf.com or find your local in-person retailer under the subscribe and shop tab.Order your artist-designed Different Leaf merch now at xDifferentLeaf.comFollow us on social media @DifferentLeaf and @BritTheBritishWe'll be back in mid-July for our summer season!

Duration: 143940 Mins
Authors: Different Leaf
Description: There's a serious lack of advertising options for cannabis companies. Marketing on TV, radio, and even in shop windows is largely banned across the US.

They talk about the historical need for a nationwide destigmatization campaign, how the CMC's ads are sparking meaningful conversations with elders on cannabis and the role of joy in our lives, how the Council came up with the language and images in their provocative ads, and why they connected with one of the nation’s largest media empires; Hearst Media.Follow us on social media @DifferentLeaf and @BritTheBritishFind us online at DifferentLeaf.com and xDifferentLeaf.comFind the CMC's latest pro-cannabis ad in the back of the latest issue of Different Leaf magazine, available for purchase at DifferentLeaf.com, or find your local in-person retailer at DifferentLeaf.com/on-the-newsstand

Release Date: 3/10/2023
Duration: 123780 Mins
Authors: Different Leaf

Pharmacies across the US used to carry bottles of cannabis tincture on their shelves as the go-to medicine for Americans treating pain, nausea, insomnia, and many other common ailments. Even after it was outlawed, making tincture remained one of the most effective ways to use marijuana medicinally, because tinctures provide consistent doses, potency, and effects.Now we're easing out of the prohibition era, cannabis-derived tinctures are popping up everywhere from medical dispensaries to gas stations and grocery stores. Of course, not all tincture is good. So if we want to use tincture as an everyday medicine as they did back in the day, what should we know about finding and using a quality medical cannabis tincture?In this episode host Brit Smith talks to the founder of the most popular tincture company in Massachusetts, Peter Glantz from Howl’s Tincture. They discuss the 5,000-year-old history of making whole plant medicine, and how that history inspired the concoctions Peter now makes.They also cover what ailments patients say are best treated with cannabis tinctures, how tincture helps with so many illnesses, how to dose yourself with different ratios of CBD to THC, the difference between extraction and infusion, and why the method of making the tincture should matter to medical patients.Follow us on social media @DifferentLeaf, and find host Brit Smith @BritTheBritishBuy any issues of Different Leaf magazine at DifferentLeaf.com or find your local in-person retailer at DifferentLeaf.com/on-the-newsstandsFind DL's new merch line at xDifferentLeaf.com

Japan's CBD Skin Care; Connecting Cannabis-Averse Cultures to Hemp
Release Date: 2/17/2023
Duration: 163620 Mins
Authors: Different Leaf
Description: In Japan cannabis is completely illegal, the government has long demonized the plant, and pot smokers are widely looked down upon socially.At the same time, Japanese health foods have long included hemp seeds, hemp is still being used to make some kimonos and ropes in temples, and all kinds of CBD products have been sold there since 2013, putting Japan on track to be one of the largest CBD economies in the world.So how do Japanese CBD brands connect buying a cannabis extract to a culture that overwhelmingly sees cannabis as harmful and even dangerous? And how can others use the same tactics to introduce cannabis-averse folks to the benefits of CBD and other cannabinoids?According to this episode's guest, serial entrepreneur Mike Eidlin, it’s all about making it part of what someone already knows and loves; that's why CBD-infused skin care is helping Japanese people who traditionally don’t trust cannabis to get more comfortable connecting with the health benefits of the plant.Mike is the CEO and founder of WALALA, a CBD beauty brand based out of Tokyo. As he explains to host Brit Smith, it hasn’t been easy with the tight Japanese regulations calling for zero percent THC, and a customer base that initially seemed wary of anything to do with cannabis. But over the past few years, Mike has built WALALA into a leading luxury CBD skincare brand, and he’s built meaningful, trusted relationships with his customers in Asia and beyond.Brit and Mike talk about how he normalizes CBD and connects his Japanese consumers with the health benefits of hemp, all without bringing the stigmatized cannabis plant into the conversation.They also cover what CBD in skincare and cosmetic products can do for our skin’s health by increasing skin cell turnover and reducing inflammation. And they discuss the use of synthesized CBD in skin products, where Mike sees the future of the CBD beauty market going in Asia, and the rest of the world.Buy any issues of Different Leaf magazine at DifferentLeaf.com or find your local in-person retailer at DifferentLeaf.com/on-the-newsstandsFollow us on social media @DifferentLeaf, and find host Brit Smith @BritTheBritishFind DL's new merch line at xDifferentLeaf.com

Brits Talking! UK Medical Cannabis with Nurse Sophie Hayes
Release Date: 2/10/2023
Duration: 137340 Mins
Authors: Different Leaf
Description: Get ready for a very British conversation about cannabis! It's hard to get a medical marijuana prescription through the National Health Service (NHS.) So, since weed was medically legalized in 2018, thousands of UK residents have been paying to get a prescription from one of 18 private cannabis clinics, which allow for a much longer list of qualifying conditions.Whereas most US states require doctors to make a recommendation for a card that needs to be renewed every year, UK cannabis patients meet with specialist teams and get 28-day-long tailor-made prescriptions. They also get several follow-up phone calls, and there are no cannabis dispensaries to navigate; instead, products are selected by the medical team and mailed to patients' homes from special cannabis pharmacies.The British patients' experience sounds very different from what the typical American medical marijuana patient gets, but is it better?In this episode, host Brit Smith talks to London-based Registered Nurse Sophie Hayes, a medical cannabis specialist who is the Clinical Trial Manager at LVL Health; an organization dedicated to conducting clinical research into cannabis medicines in the UK.Brit and Nurse Sophie discuss the process and cost of getting a cannabis prescription through a private practice in the UK, the dosing and other medical advice given to patients, and why British residents might want to get a medical cannabis prescription instead of relying on the underground market.They also cover the legal concerns for patients, what kinds of products UK patients will get through the post, the cost of buying legal versus illegal weed on the British Isles, and the three current UK cannabis studies.Find the winter 2023 medical marijuana issue of Different Leaf the magazine at Differentleaf.comLocate your nearest in-person seller at DifferentLeaf.com/on-the-newsstandFollow us on social media @DifferentLeaf and find host Brit Smith @BritTheBritishCheck out XDifferentLeaf.com for our fabulous new merch line

Medical Marijuana Choices? There's an App for That with Otha Smith III
Release Date: 12/2/2022
Duration: 109140 Mins
Authors: Different Leaf
Description: Thanks to prohibition and a resulting lack of cannabis research, US medical marijuana patients often have to spend buckets of money on self-experimentation to figure out which cannabis products best help their ailments. That's why Otha Smith III developed Tetragram; the app that helps medical marijuana patients identify specific marijuana products that could work best for them.This episode, Otha tells host Brit Smith how he started using cannabis in 2006 after a serious car crash that almost left him dead. After weening off opioids, he found learning how and when to use marijuana for his injuries wasn’t an easy process for a novice patient like him. So he developed the Tetragram app, which offers a diary feature to help medical patients track their experiences with different cannabis products. It also allows users to share what they’ve found works for them, building a community of patients with anecdotal evidence to help others avoid the costly path of trial-and-error with legal weed. In lieu of extensive medical research, Tetragram is helping MMJ patients across the US learn how to effectively use medical cannabis for themselves, and it's providing some very insightful data on what medical patients are using cannabis to treat.
