Episode 41: Meet OTTO, The Joint-Rolling Robot Jun 20, 2018

Show notes

This week on What Are You Smoking, we sit down with OTTO, the joint-rolling robot from Banana Bros, and OTTO's inventor, Dave Richmond.

Dave's a veteran engineer and a joint aficionado—not necessarily in that order—who brought his first entry into the cannabis industry into our studios to show us how it works. OTTO is an AI powered electrical mill that precision grinds cannabis for joints, blunts, and anything else you like to smoke!

While we took the OTTO for a spin, we chatted with Dave about how artificial intelligence can help build a better joint, what got him into the cannabis business, and how cannabis entrepreneurs can make crowdfunding work for them.

Also, we told some Dad jokes on this episode, and for this, we simply cannot apologize enough.

What Are Your Smoking takes its first field trip as we visit Seattle's own Nectar Craft to tour the lab and talk about what's new and what's next.

Will, founder Andrew Sorkin, and salesperson David Hayes talk about how nectar chooses hardware to deliver their oils, what they look for in partners and in flower, and how the company's new line of CBN products is bringing a little-understood cannabinoid into the spotlight.

Episode 35: Baked in Alaska May 09, 2018

Show notes

Alaska was the third state in the U.S. to legalize and regulate adult-use cannabis, but this far-flung cannabis community doesn't typically get the same coverage as its cousins in the lower 48. In this episode of What Are You Smoking, we try and rectify that a little.

Just back from a reporting trip to Anchorage, Leafly deputy editor Bruce Barcott sits down to discuss the opportunities dispensaries in the Great White North are taking advantage of and the challenges they face. And of course, we'll also talk about cannabis products you can there, including a preroll that made quite an impression on our intrepid reporter.

Episode 34: Dominique Dabs May 02, 2018

Show notes

This week, we welcome Lorenz Houston—marketing manager for the dispensary chain Diego Pellicer and @dominiquedabs on social media—into the studio to talk about what trends he sees in the industry, the differences between Washington and Colorado's cannabis industries, and of course, what he's smoking and dabbing on lately.

Episode 33: Talking Terpenes Apr 26, 2018

Show notes

If you’re in a dispensary for more than a minute at this point, you’re going to hear some talk about terpenes. Cannabis connoisseurs pride themselves on understanding how terpenes impact the scent and flavor of a strain, but if you’re not an expert, it can be hard to know where to start. This week Will and Bailey host Leafly’s staff scientist, Nick Jikomes, to share a primer on what terpenes are, how they differ across cannabis strains, and what we’re learning about how these compounds.

Episode 32: Talking Edibles with The Goodship's Jody Hall Apr 19, 2018

Show notes

This week, Will is joined in studio by Jody Hall, CEO of The Goodship. We talk about how her team develops new kinds of cannabis cookies and candy, what they're doing to overcome old stereotypes about edibles, and what's on the horizon, including a coming expansion to the California market.
