Coffee & Cannabis Takes Boston Ep. 79 - Building Diaspora, Culture & Community with Raesia Straker
We took Coffee & Cannabis on the road to Boston and tapped directly into the community with Raesia Straker — founder of Diaspora, a culture-forward space rooted in connection, creativity, and intention. Over coffee and some gas, we got into A LOT… and we promise you….this one is really for the culture. But not just vibes — this is for the builders, the operators, the ones creating community-driven work while staying grounded in the reality of business structure, strategy, and the understanding that collaboration is everything. We break down the story behind Diaspora in its 3rd iteration - a community hub and future consumption lounge in Cambridge, Massachusetts, perfectly positioned near two dispensaries and built to be the go-to space for co-working, creatives, students, and anyone looking to tap in and catch a vibe. This wasn’t a polished, buttoned-up interview or staged in any way. This was real. You can literally feel the city moving in the background - people walking, life happening - while two women entrepreneurs sit down and give real game on what it takes to navigate this crazy cannabis industry. From vision… to execution… to what it actually looks like to chase your dreams in real time. This is an honest, on-the-ground conversation about building something meaningful — not just for profit, but for people. We’re outside, in the Massachusetts market, and this one is different 🎙️

From War to Civilian Life: A Conversation with Jersey Veterans You Need to Hear on Coffee & Cannabis
This episode of ☕️ & 🍃 is a special one. Dr. @beast.rod sits down with her former shipmate and brother-in-arms, Sage McDonald (@sage_a_wiseman_ ) — a 5x combat #veteran with extensive time spent in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. Over coffee and some gas from @highprophecy (a veteran woman-owned cannabis brand), they get into it… service, separation, and what life really looks like after the uniform comes off. From their shared love of the #UAE and #Dubai the pain of watching it from afar… to the very real challenges of navigating the VA system and fighting for fair disability ratings… to the politics in New Jersey and the lack of meaningful support for veterans — NOTHING was off limits. This is a raw, honest conversation that sheds light on the realities veterans face as they transition back into civilian life. Since both being out over the past few years and now witnessing first hand what performative Veteran support experience is like…. they share their experience in an expeditionary combat unit, their journey transitioning out, the support given once you are out, the struggles asking for help, the identity shifts… and most important, the strength it takes to keep going. If you have a veteran in your life, this episode is an eye opener and hopefully a call to do better in how we support those who have served 🪖🎖️ #veterans #njvererans #hudsoncountyveterans #jerseycity #leadership #dubai #dubailife #cannabiseducation #cannabisreform #cannabis #coffee #Drbeast

Filmed LIVE at NECANN in Atlantic City, this episode captures a groundbreaking moment as Wanda officially announces her run for Congress right here on Coffee & Cannabis. 🇺🇸 She opens up about sustaining as a minority operator for over 15 years, the importance of generational wealth and license transferring, and why she can’t understand why politicians are still fumbling cannabis policy. Wanda doesn’t hold back — from sharing her challenges as the only Black Regent at the University of Colorado, to calling out her opponent Diana DeGette, to breaking down the failures in governance that keep communities criminalized and patients underserved. Dr. Beast and Gretchen keep the energy sharp and candid, mixing in humor, hard truths, and gratitude for Wanda’s trailblazing leadership.

Coffee & Cannabis Political Series: Senator Street on PA Adult-Use with Dr. Beast & Gretchen Gailey
In Episode 7 -- (Ep 74) of Coffee & Cannabis, Dr. Beast and political strategist Gretchen Gailey sit down with Pennsylvania State Senator and candidate for Congress Sharif Street for an unfiltered conversation about the future of adult-use cannabis in his state. Senator Street breaks down the uphill battle of legalization, from the cultural stigma that frames cannabis as a “sin,” to Pennsylvania’s notoriously strict alcohol laws, to the resistance of conservative legislators. He makes it clear that legalization isn’t just about access — it’s about budget shortfalls, public safety, and keeping cannabis out of the hands of children. Dr. Beast and Gretchen don’t shy away from pressing questions, weaving in humor and sharp critique as they unpack the hypocrisy in how lawmakers measure “sin,” and why political will often bends to convenience instead of principle. This conversation is both candid and timely — offering insight into why cannabis reform in PA has lagged, and why Senator Street believes the tide is finally turning. Politics, pot, and policy collide in this episode — and the stakes couldn’t be higher. ☕🌱 📍 Filming: Plant and People, West Philadelphia 📌 Full episode premieres Monday, September 15, 2025 at 11AM
