Tomorrow: Podcast Drop

Lauren + Mennlay reunite for an industry chat.

Hello there!

Popping into your inboxes for a heads-up about tomorrow’s audio dispatch—the latest in my monthly drops of unedited, no-holds-barred chats with industry experts.

In this episode, I’ll be joined by cannabis creative and author of The Art of Weed Butter, Mennlay Golokeh Aggrey. For those of you who tuned into the Broccoli Talk podcast we co-hosted, this will be a reunion of sorts!

With shared experiences of hands-on cultivation pre and post-legalization, years in cannabis-centric journalism, and roles on creative teams for indie brands in and around the cannabis space, Aggrey and I don’t mess around when we talk shop.

Tomorrow’s chat covers big-picture assessments of the industry right now, processes the dips and shifts in THC and CBD markets, and then zooms out to discuss the larger implications of cannabis culture’s evolution over the past hundred years. It’s a special, increasingly rare opportunity to hear the two of us talk candidly about what’s caught our attention/stresses us out/continues to inspire us about this realm.
