Podcast Introduction
00:00:00
Speaker
Welcome to Awake and Bake, an educational, high vibrational, mystical, spiritual podcast from one girl, one joint, and a journey to awaken what's inside all of us. In the words of the wise was Khalifa, let's roll something and get the day started. All right, guys, it's actually not just one girl today. I have a very special guest.
Meet Danielle Watson
00:00:19
Speaker
You may know her, you may have heard of her.
00:00:21
Speaker
I have Mrs. Danielle Watson here, professional bud tender, here to help us raise our high Q and really get to know what we're talking about when it comes to this whole cannabis thing because I am a stoner. I don't know what the fuck I want. I go up to the people and I say, give me what's good. And they always treat me well, but I don't know what it is that I'm...
00:00:42
Speaker
that I'm doing. So she is here to teach us both. Now, Danielle, welcome to Awake and Bake. Thank you so much for having me. I'm so nervous. This is my first time being a guest on the podcast.
00:00:53
Speaker
Um, thank you all for being here and listening to me. So I want to start off by saying this is going to be a very general, basic stoner friendly fucking episode. Okay. I don't want to hear one motherfucker like, uh, actually I studied cannabis since the day I was fucking born and I've been alive longer than you've been smoking. And I don't care. I don't care. Okay.
00:01:13
Speaker
I'm trying to just give y'all the gist so that if you were like me just a few months ago and you thought you understood what you were talking about, turns out you don't, well, I can help you. And so yeah, if I miss a couple of details, yep, absolutely. Deal with it. We're fine.
Why is Cannabis Knowledge Limited?
00:01:30
Speaker
I want to start off by saying that cannabis in general is actually not that studied. What I've learned most and just beyond anything that I've learned throughout this experience is that we actually don't know a lot. There's not a lot out there professionally. This is not the kind of thing you can go like, oh, I'm going to go get a degree as a bud tender in a cannabis college course.
00:01:55
Speaker
not really like that. There are actually cannabis based courses and stuff in college, but all of my friends who are majoring in that told me all they've learned is that we don't know shit. So that's completely right. Even when I was got pregnant and like I was trying to figure out like about smoking and being pregnant, like there's no real information out there. Like there's all of this. And then I found out that all of the studies that are like referenced as far as like side effects of it and like possible
00:02:21
Speaker
complications that it could cause were tested in people who smoked cigarettes and used cannabis. So it's not even... It's completely not accurate. Right, right. Isn't that crazy? You can't even compare the two then. Fuck y'all. Exactly. It's so wild how even our cannabis education is so fucking skewed that we don't understand what it is. Yeah, honestly. That's why we have Danielle. That's why I'm here, okay? Before I learned that marijuana was an offensive term, I was like, I'm the marijuana mama.
00:02:51
Speaker
No, I don't. I'm like...
00:02:53
Speaker
Can he Danny can a babe? Oh, can he Danny? I like that. Right. OK, you guys. So, yeah, I just wanted to say like starting off, I am going to be giving you guys as much knowledge in a way that will like be easy to comprehend. Very digestible. You'll be able to walk away from this episode, not being like she dropped a billion fucking terms and like, you know, words that I just, you know, those buzz words. You're hopefully going to leave this episode understanding on a stoner level.
CBD vs. THC: What's the Difference?
00:03:20
Speaker
You'll be able to explain it back to your stoner friends like, OK, this is what's happening.
00:03:23
Speaker
Yeah. Because of that, we're going to make this like a series about raising our high Q and learning about what we're doing. Today's episode is going to be especially about CBD and THC. Danny, what is the difference between CBD and THC?
00:03:37
Speaker
I am so glad you asked. Okay, so before I get into like all the details, short answer, CBD is non-psychoactive, THC is psychoactive.
The Endocannabinoid System Explained
00:03:48
Speaker
That's like a very short answer. So I'm gonna preface this whole thing by saying, we as humans, we have what we it's called the endocannabinoid system, okay? We have receptors that bind to different cannabinoids
00:04:02
Speaker
just naturally in our body. So I want you all to remember this because there's a lot of stigma around like, Oh, I smoke weed and I'm embarrassed or I shouldn't because people are like, Oh, you're doing drugs. I know for a fact, like, you know, my family thinks I do drugs, like they see it like,
00:04:18
Speaker
well, she does drugs. And it's like, okay, whatever. But I just wanted to make it very known that this is such a natural thing to do. This is one of the only things that we know of so far as a species that we have a whole ass system for that that response to this, we have receptors that bind to this shit. So not only is it okay for you to be doing this, it's so natural, you are meant to be in some form or another, like reaching and interacting with cannabinoids with cannabis. So don't insane.
00:04:45
Speaker
Yeah, so like that takes a lot of just the guilt off of it. So and you do need to know that going into this that you and your body have this endocannabinoid system. Okay, so now THC versus CBD, what's the difference? So CBD, think of it this way, right? Think of it. And by the way, it stands for cannabidiol. CBD is like a natural Advil there, if you're just trying to explain it someone just that okay CBD is like a natural Advil. Basically, it's an anti inflammatory and it helps with neuropathic pain, which is nerve pain.
00:05:14
Speaker
Okay. That's easy. Yeah. It's not going to make you high because it's not psychoactive. Now THC is psychoactive. That's known as tetrahydrocannabinol. So this is psychoactive. It will make you high and it is going to affect you more mentally, but it is also an anti-inflammatory and it has a ton of other really great properties. Um, but yeah, I consider this one. It's more psychoactive, right? Okay. Yeah. That's kind of the difference.
00:05:41
Speaker
So you don't get high on CBD? No, no, you don't, which a lot of people because it's unfortunate that a lot of drug tests, most of them actually do if you're not allowed to smoke weed, then you're not allowed to use CBD. And it's fucked up. Because CBD, like I said, all of this, we have a natural
00:06:00
Speaker
you know, response to in our body, but it's like, damn, so you can get drunk every day and have a job or you need to be alert and you can drink as much as you want, but like heal yourself with natural medicine. Absolutely not. But poison yourself. Go for it, bitch. Okay. So what part of the THC makes it that psychoactive? Like what gives it that effect?
00:06:20
Speaker
Um, so when you talk about effects, do you mean like what gives it that like dip, like the types of highs? Yeah. Like what? Yeah. What makes it different? Like what's the part of it? Yeah. So it's actually not the THC that gives you the different types of highs. It's the terpenes that are found in it. So.
00:06:35
Speaker
terpenes are found in every single thing, actually, like a food, they're in like almost every, not even just food, they're in plants, they're in like anything that grows, they're in natural things, terpenes, basically give it the flavor, the aroma and the effects that you're going to experience. So it has nothing to do with like, oh, the THC always makes me sleepy or THC always makes me paranoid. The terpenes are what are giving you the effect.
00:07:01
Speaker
If we had sound effects, I would be hitting that like mind blown.
Beyond THC: The Role of Terpenes
00:07:05
Speaker
Mind blown. Yeah, this was news to me too because I'm not gonna lie, me and Kelsey used to always be like, oh, you don't want anything that's less than 30%. And then I realized that the percentage literally doesn't mean anything. And a lot of it is all just marketing. Like companies will put, oh, this is like 40, 50% THC. And it's like, first of all, it might not be.
00:07:29
Speaker
And people think that's going to make you higher or it's going to make them have a more this or a more that effect. So terpenes are what are going to do that. So a quick example, if you're like, that still doesn't help me, what the fuck is a terpene? I don't even, I don't want to learn about terpenes, not this episode, baby. But next we'll get into all, we'll do that in another episode. So here's a quick example. You guys know how I'm always like,
00:07:48
Speaker
Oh, I'm an indica girly. What I actually mean is I like terpenes that something like linalool, which is found in lavender, and it helps you relax. It's like the main terpene in lavender. That's the reason that lavender is so relaxing is because of the linalool. That's also what's found in a lot of heavy indica strains. And that's what makes you relax. So
00:08:08
Speaker
Terp beans are the underdogs, the underrated stars of the show. Kelsey and I used to go to the Spencer and be like, what's your highest percentage THC? And we're just trying to get so fucked we won't be able to be off the couch. Well, we should have just been asking for like, hey, what terpenes are in this? What effect is this one going to have? And then we'd be so pissed when we get like a 35% and we're fine. And we're like, what the fuck? We smoke too much. I don't even feel anything. Right.
00:08:33
Speaker
And it's like, yeah, bitch, that you didn't think at all about anything else. So then are terpenes what make it a sativa versus an indica then? I'm so glad you asked that, yes. So I need to debunk this really quick.
00:08:47
Speaker
indica sativa hybrid. It's kind of actually bullshit. I hate to say that because I'm an indica girly and due to like the culture that we live in, we still use these terms. So if you say sativa hybrid indica, I'm not about to correct you because I still say that shit too. But if you're someone who's like, oh, no, no, no, everything's a hybrid. Fuck you. Yeah, I know that. Okay. I know that.
00:09:08
Speaker
Everything actually is a hybrid and it's all relative to like what type of effect it produces. So people will say, oh, this has like a lot of linaloo in it. So I'm going to say it's an indica. There are other companies that will make exact same like strain, like so Cheetopiss, right?
00:09:26
Speaker
that you're smoking or no. Let's go with like granddaddy perp, a known indica. I have never heard of cheetah piss, but now I want it so bad. Cheetah piss is a strain and it's hilarious, but I'm not as familiar with it as I am with like granddaddy perp or even like wedding cakes. So whenever we have these cakes, birthday cake, wedding cake, a lot of the cakes tend to lean toward indica in terms of strains when you're looking them up.
00:09:51
Speaker
Well, that's because a lot of these contain the more physical relaxing. So Linelule, it makes you relax most like yes, mentally, but a lot physically as well. It's just a very calming thing, incredibly relaxing. So when we think about different strains, there are some companies that will put out their version of a strain that maybe I consider to be an indica and they'll market as like a hybrid because they also might put a little bit of terpenes in it that are more say they're using like
00:10:20
Speaker
Pinene. Pinene is a very sativa-y type of terpene. So it helps a lot with alertness. It helps you be focused. Sometimes though, I get anxious from sativas. I didn't realize it's not sativa. Sativa is not really a thing. It's the specific terpenes. It's pinene. And if I have too much pinene, so a lot of people love that shit.
00:10:43
Speaker
I like it in small doses, but in too high of a dose, there's also like alpha and beta-pynene. Well, it's A and B, and I'm assuming it's alpha and beta, but it's A and B-pynene. And a lot of strains will put those together, so it'll be like a mega-pynene.
00:11:00
Speaker
strained with like some nursing in there. Mercy is the terpene that we find in mangoes. It's what gives it the skunky kind of weed smell like for cannabis. So actually, yeah, terpenes are what determine is it indica sativa hybrid, but it all also comes down to one is the strain patented because if it's a patented strain that has to be called an indica, like for legal reasons, because someone owns it, like there are a lot of companies that will copyright certain names.
00:11:27
Speaker
Okay, so when they do that, though, other companies can't use it. So then other companies will put out something very similar with a different name, which is why you have all these crazy strains nowadays. And you're like, there's a billion fucking strains. And I don't know what they
Understanding Terpene Profiles
00:11:40
Speaker
are. And it's like, yeah, just look up the terpene profile guys, like
00:11:43
Speaker
And that's like definitely a phase like you have to ease your way into that. It's not the first step like, all right, give me everything you got with Mercian in it. What I would suggest is grab a sativa hybrid indica from your deal, your local dealer, your local plug or your local dispensary.
00:12:00
Speaker
look up what the terpenes are in that strain. So Blue Dream is a sativa across the board, right? It's a known sativa. No matter where you go, Jack Herrera is a known sativa. But I'm not joking. I've seen like two companies market as a hybrid. But when we talk about how everything is a hybrid because it's all just like relative and it's all mixed up with a bunch of other terpenes and stuff, yes, that makes sense. But like Jack Herrera and Blue Dream, these are go-to strains that everyone pretty much recognizes and knows as a sativa.
00:12:29
Speaker
I will be honest, but the people who like make blue dream, well, any company that makes blue dream, they might, the levels that they put in in terms of how much piney and how much this and that of terpenes, those are what varies. So there are some blue dreams that I can smoke and I have a great time with. There are some blue dreams that give me hella anxiety. So it's all about how much of this terpene, how much of that, but that's something that is, you know, it does take a bit to recognize. It took me
00:12:56
Speaker
a few weeks to recognize, oh my God, pining bothers me. It's not all sativa, just because something's labeled a sativa, I can't have it. No, because those are all kind of relatives. So yeah, always look up a terpene profile when you buy a new strain. Keep a notebook or if you have a perfect fucking memory, just remember. What stoner has that? Come on. That's what I'm saying. So yeah, it's like a very misunderstood concept. And I will be honest, I misunderstood it until two months ago.
00:13:25
Speaker
But now she knows it all. No, just kidding. But that's so crazy. I've just never thought of it like that. It's wild how much more and how much we haven't been told. And then it's even crazier thinking back to when
00:13:38
Speaker
for me, I started smoking and I would just buy a bag from someone, like a Ziploc bag and it would just have whatever in it. And now I'm like, man, I wonder what was in those. I wonder what was going on. All the time I think about when I was in New York City, I would just go up to any corner store and they'd be like, sour or haze. And I'd be like, haze. Those were the only two options. I don't know what the fuck it was. I have no idea. Right.
00:14:02
Speaker
We used to just let people give us anything. Yeah, and I'm not saying that I'm proud of that or I recommend that. It's just my truth. Okay. Let's go back to CBD. When would you recommend CBD over THC?
00:14:17
Speaker
Oh, okay. So it's actually way more common than you would think that people just want CBD. Yeah. And at first I was like, what? Cause I just kind of feel like it works the way Advil does. But then I started thinking about it. Yeah. If you're someone with chronic pain, but like with THC restrictions or sensitivities and you really liked, cause there are some people who just do not handle THC very well. And I do want to make a disclaimer.
00:14:44
Speaker
Yes, our body was made to work with this, and it's natural, absolutely, and it does pair well together. However, there are some cases where somebody, and it's rare, but it absolutely has happened, where someone will smoke weed one time, it has THC in it, and then they enter their very first psychotic episode, or they develop schizophrenia. That is a real thing. It is rare though,
00:15:10
Speaker
I want to make a comparison about how my body, I need fish bits, those bits, bits, bits. I need fish, bitch. My body thrives on it. The fatty acids, the protein, it's a perfect balance for my needs. There are motherfuckers out here with fish allergies. They will die. They will die if they have fish. Just try to think of it like that. We don't need to condemn something just because a handful of people have had a bad experience when millions of people have had a great one.
00:15:38
Speaker
Right? But I do want to point it out there, like, yes, if you have a THC sensitivity, then yeah, CBD would be great for you. I would think of it as instead of taking, you know, you have chronic pain, right? You have back issues, you have arthritis, we get a lot of people in with arthritis.
00:15:52
Speaker
And they don't want to take medication every day, but they'll pop CBD pills by the hundred milligram piece. So they're doing like a hundred to a thousand milligrams a day all day long. They don't give a fuck. So that's a really good option for using CBD. Also, we have some moms that come in who have like tightness in their, um, like in their muscles and everything. And then it becomes inflamed and all of that. Or like, maybe they have nerve damage, but they're a mom and they cannot, at least right now with their newborn or with their toddler or whatever.
00:16:21
Speaker
they, their body just reacts too much to THC. They'll be, they'll just be too high. So then that's a great option for CBD as well. Just remember it's not psychoactive. So if you're like depressed and anxious, it's, it's not going to fix that. And that's actually a common misconception. People are like, I smoke CBD and I get high with you. And I'm like, I'm glad you feel good. You're not high.
00:16:44
Speaker
So THC I would use though. Is it okay if I talk about that one? Oh, of course. So it's so THC I consider it more as like a Mental release or like it gives it gives me more mental relief. I suppose it's great for anti-anxiety It could be great for it's as an antidepressant. It's great for mood regulation. It's great for appetite issues It's also great for a lot of physical issues. I always prefer THC however, I
00:17:12
Speaker
I cannot go to work like high at all. Like I can, it's something about like interacting so much with different kinds of people that like when I'm high, I become myself, right? But when I'm at work, sometimes I need to be able to adapt to other people's vibes. And when I'm being so true to myself, I can't always meet everyone else's needs. You know what I mean? So I found that like I don't do well with a lot of THC in my system before work, a tiny little bit,
00:17:40
Speaker
Yes. If you can handle THC, even in small doses, I would always... And I'm biased 100% because I don't have any kind of sensitivity to THC. But I find that the mental relief that it gives me and the physical relief because I get an anxiety rash across my chest and neck and face. I also get really bad stomach issues and a bunch of pain in my back. Bitch, you also have scoliosis and lupus.
00:18:07
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. I've got real things. Yeah. And the THC is also an anti-inflammatory and it has so many other healing properties. So that's when I would use THC, but also it's always great to use CBD on its own. It has a bunch of benefits. However, I would use all of them together, actually.
What is the Entourage Effect?
00:18:25
Speaker
Wait, why would you recommend them all together?
00:18:28
Speaker
Okay, so there's this thing called the entourage effect. It has to do. Yeah, right. It sounds so flashy, like my entourage. It does. Again, I wish I had a sound effect because I feel like that needed like a... Yeah, right. So the entourage effect is basically when... What it means is that there's a bunch of cannabinoids, THC and CBD are just two. There's also THCV, THCA, CBN, CBC, CBG. We could get all into those and we will in other episodes.
00:18:56
Speaker
Holy shit. And more. So yeah, there's a bunch of cannabinoids, right? But they all work better together, even in small doses. So if you are smoking your THC or ingesting it or rubbing or anything, or sorry, your CBD, right? Some people love CBD gummies and they might get some with like 0.07 THC in it.
00:19:17
Speaker
That's actually better. You're not going to get high from that. You're not going to have like a, it's such a small amount. You're not going to like have a psychoactive really affects from it. Maybe you'll be slightly happier, maybe, but probably not. Um, but when they work together, they're, they bind together better. They're all stronger. All of the cannabinoids work best together because of their entourage effect. Also,
00:19:39
Speaker
say that you don't like THC, but you love CBD and you get the small amount of THC in it. And that's pretty common. You can get full spectrum or broad spectrum. Full spectrum typically contains more of the THC because it contains a tiny little bit of all the cannabinoids or at least a lot. That's why it's full spectrum. Broad spectrum is where they kind of narrow it down and they pick.
00:20:01
Speaker
Okay. Yeah. So that works really well for CBD, but also if you're a THC lover. So one of my favorite brands for this is the country brand. Um, and they are a CBD based company, but every, a lot of the products still have THC in it, just lower amounts and way higher amount CBD. It's really, really nice because so say that I'm just going to like hit my dab
00:20:27
Speaker
Maybe I'll smoke some flour and add a little bit of CBD in it as well because what the CBD is going to do, one, entourage effect, two, CBD actually does not bind to our CB1 and CB2 receptors. You don't need to know what that means in this episode, calm down. But basically it just makes you feel more calm and higher, or not higher, it makes your high better and it makes you feel more calm.
00:20:47
Speaker
So like I said, CBD is not psychoactive, but if you throw a little bit of it on to your THC, it will make your high, not only like you'll feel the effects better, but some of the negative effects that come with THC might be lessened because the CBD is going to give all of its properties along with it. So maybe you're someone who when you smoke, you feel great, but sometimes you get a tiny little bit antsy. Um, or you might get like a tiny little, some people when they smoke, they get tension.
00:21:14
Speaker
Well, CBD relaxes you. It's an anti-inflammatory. It helps with that. So everything just works better together. And so I would always put them together personally. That's so crazy. I never even thought about that, like mixing the two or that that was...
00:21:27
Speaker
an option. But now that I think about it, I think back to some of the edibles that I would buy when I was in California and they definitely would have CBD amounts too. And I just didn't think anything of it because all I cared about was as long as the THC is high percentage, as we said. But okay, so now I know that that's why they did that. Wow, that's so crazy. Yeah. And it's like I said, this is all...
00:21:50
Speaker
Very new. There's not a ton of information out there. We don't know more than we know, if that makes sense. Yes, yeah. But what I do know, I'm like, well, I might as well help my bitches out. That's what Awake and Make is all about. And I'm so grateful that you were able to be here today for the first time on this podcast. It was my very first time as a guest on this podcast. I am honored I could have made it.
00:22:12
Speaker
Honestly, though, I'm so glad that we got to do this one together. It's been so long since we've had one together. And like, it feels so much more like at home. I've been having fun with the solo ones. And we've had both of us have had just crazy shit going on. Obviously, Danny's been becoming a cannabis expert. Okay, I say that. Again, like she said, don't come at her. And but there's 100% details that I missed. But guys, I'm high too. We're just trying to talk to you like you're my friend, right? I'm not trying to like outsmart you. She's helping us know what to say when we go to the dispensary to not look like idiots.
00:22:42
Speaker
Yeah, which is what we need. All right. Because I'm going to be honest, I'm embarrassed that me and Kelce would be like, do you have anything high percentage? Like we and we even one time shit talked. We were like, yeah, in Maine, there was this one that was like 11 or 15 percent. Like, what the fuck? And now they were probably like, you stupid white bitches. And I. Yeah. Oh, the cringe, the cringe. And that's actually probably in one of our old episodes, too.
00:23:07
Speaker
Oh, 100%. Hey, we grow. We grow. We told you we're not your teachers. We're learning with you. Exactly. We've been telling you that. I just learned a shit ton through this. So thank you for listening. Thank you, Dani, for raising our high Qs. I love that. That's hilarious. High Q. Thank you. You know, I'm very funny. You are.
00:23:29
Speaker
All right, I guess for today, that'll be enough. Like I said, this is going to be a series, so we're going to learn a ton more with Mrs. Danielle, and I can't wait to expand my canication. Oh my God, I love this bitch. This is why she's the writer. I handle more of the media side, and she handles a lot of the book work, the writing. Except for this part. You taught me so much.
00:23:55
Speaker
Yes, true. Yeah, we were planning this and she was like going through her notes and like all this different stuff. She's like, I can shorten that to the like, and just say like, I was like, okay, damn, so I'm actually gonna learn a shit ton. Like this is crazy that you like learned as well. Because I was like, Oh my gosh, what if I don't know, like, I was like, what if I like think I'm really doing something and everyone's like, Hey, yeah, we know this, but I didn't know this stuff two months ago. So I gotta be other bitches who don't know either. Yeah, I admit. I admit I'm a
00:24:23
Speaker
dumb stoner in the sense of like, right, I don't know what I'm getting. Again, like I said, I would, like you said, we would go and ask for percentages. I would be like, I want a strong sativa. That was my, and then they would come at me with all different stuff and I'd look at a percent and I'd be like, all right, this one.
00:24:39
Speaker
and the price. That was my other deciding factor. Well, you know what I've learned since working at a dispensary? Also, it's a company that I really stand behind. It's not some money hungry company. They give back so much. You guys know, we always talk about the Last Prisoner Project. The company I work for works with them as well. They donate to them. We carry, what's the company? Like Farmer and the Felon.
00:24:59
Speaker
We carry their company, which donates to them. We also work to give back and help with the de-stigmatization of cannabis and getting people out of prison. Anyway, I'm just really proud to work for this company. It's woman owned too, right? It's woman owned and it's very inclusive. We are really big on we're LGBTQ friendly, diverse. We try to make everyone... Yeah, we're very progressive and I love that because I also think that cannabis has been demonized by
00:25:28
Speaker
I'm sorry, a lot of conservatives. Yes. And so we're a very progressive company that I'm really grateful to work for. And we are education based. So everyone who works there, you don't necessarily get quizzed, but you do. It's not like I'm going to have to take a test and I'll get an F. You know what I mean? Right.
00:25:48
Speaker
all day long. We are talking about it.
A Visit to an Educational Dispensary
00:25:51
Speaker
We're asking each other questions through the higher ups. My leads are always like, hey, what do you know about this? Explain decarboxylation, which is just like when you burn THCA and it turns into THC. So THCA isn't psychoactive, THC is. Once you burn the THCA, it's psychoactive, you get high. So if you ever get a joint that's infused with THCA and you're like, what the fuck is that? You're good, bitch. Just burn it and then it's THCA and you're getting extra high. And then isn't it like
00:26:17
Speaker
I feel like, oh, it's very like a lot of your clientele are like medical base too, right? Yeah. So that's actually the most, like it's really rewarding and now trigger warning. It's sad medical issue. Okay. Tune off if you can't hear medical terms. Um, but we get a lot of cancer patients and a lot of elderly patients.
00:26:33
Speaker
who have a range from arthritis to they're literally in chemo or they're in remission where a lot of them are going through like dialysis or a lot of like I spoke to a woman who was going through dialysis today. I speak to a lot of people who just have like some type of like, you know, when you're older and everything starts to fall apart, like they are just really in pain. They have a lot of issues and they all say time and time again, this shit is the only thing that works because they don't want to be taking painkillers like
00:27:03
Speaker
opioids every single lot of people actually come in and they're like Nervous about trying it but their doctor recommended like, you know, it might be a good addition to their treatment So yeah, it's really it's been like eye-opening and a really like healing experience for me I love helping people like it's I used to have kind of the new cute my brand and it was based in helping people but I never knew what direction I wanted to take it and this is really nice because I am like literally helping people all day long and
00:27:30
Speaker
Whether they have a medical issue like that or they just have like crippling anxiety or like just they just don't know much and they're really nervous about trying it, but they really want to like it's really nice because our whole focus at Megan's organic market, which is the dispensary workout. We call it moms because MOM Megan's organic market. So when I first started, they were like, she's a new mom.
00:27:51
Speaker
Oh, I love that. It's so cute. But our whole thing there is we try to not only serve the guests and give them whatever they need, but literally educate them on what they're getting so that they can know going forward, even if they don't come back to us, we want to help them with their health. So they know going to another dispensary, hey, I need something with THCA, THCB, CBG. We try to help them know as much as we know.
00:28:17
Speaker
That's so cool, because I've never had that experience at a dispensary before. I haven't either. I will say we're also set up like a supermarket. Nothing's behind a counter, behind a glass. You walk in, you pick up a shopping basket, and you shop. I can't wait to go to St. Louis Obispo. I can't wait for you either. I hope you guys enjoyed this episode. I love talking about this. I am so obsessed with weed in general, so getting to learn about it every day and learn more and more about it, it makes me feel like the smartest bitch in the world.
00:28:44
Speaker
I'm like, I know more than some of you. I just love it. I love it. I love it. I love that I get to learn through you. And we get all get to learn through you. Also, I love like, I love people finding a job that they love and like doing things with their life that they love. That's what Awaken Bay is all about is like pursuing and following dreams. And this is literally something Danny
00:29:04
Speaker
manifested the fuck out of like I've always said one day I'm really gonna learn about the science behind cannabis like one day for the podcast I'm really gonna like take a deep dive course for myself so I can like help you guys and then yeah this whole like our move here and the job it all fell into place like I'm learning
00:29:23
Speaker
so much as such a rapid speed and it's it's a ton every day and everyone I work with has their own kind of niche and expertise. So I have some people that are wax experts and I didn't even know that there were different kinds of ways to like different types of concentrates and dabs. Like there's batter or butter, there's shatter, there's sauce, like there's a bunch more like I didn't know about any of that. I didn't know about terpenes. I didn't know about like RSO oil, like guys, it's a whole world.
00:29:52
Speaker
And I'm so excited to be a part of it with y'all and to like share it with you. I hope that you guys like really enjoyed this episode. I tried to make it as non overwhelming as possible because when I first started, I'm not going to lie. I was like, yo, this is a lot of terms. This is a lot of words, a lot of abbreviations. So I tried to make it as like easy as possible. CBD, think of it as an Advil THC. It's going to make you high. So it's going to give you like a mental relief. Like, you know what I mean? Stuff like that. Completely. Obviously, those aren't the clinical terms. Fuck off.
00:30:24
Speaker
All right, guys, I guess it's time for us to go. Dani's got to get more high. I got to bounce on my birthing ball. I love you. Yeah, you're bouncing around on that. It's kind of hot because your boobs are huge and I can only see the boobs up and I'm like, oh, she bouncing on a dick. You know, I got to kill two birds with one stone. I'm about to be a mom. Multitasking is what we're all about. Cole's having a great time down here.
00:30:50
Speaker
Kidding kidding. She would never have sex while we're recording That's without y'alls consent without y'alls. Yeah, I was gonna say I probably would just because I'd be like, oh I'm like a little challenge Exactly. That would be it'd be like giving your guy a blowjob while he was playing video games Yeah, although it would be hard to like speak it coherently while that was happening
00:31:10
Speaker
I know I always tell Isaiah when he's gaming like but on the headset with his friends like I'm just gonna like give him a blowjob one day and he's gonna have to focus and keep trying I think he's terrified so I might not do it unless he's like a hundred obviously unless he's a hundred percent down but we joked about it and I'm like one of these days I'm going to dig into oblivion and you're gonna lose your game oh fuck I missed you bitch ah all right
00:31:35
Speaker
We got to wrap this up. We got to wrap it up. I'm getting a little too weird. I know. I was going to say, I literally just admitted that I'd fuck on recording. I just gave out a personal fantasy that my husband and I share. We love y'all. Stay high. Bye.
