How to Do the Pot – Details, episodes & analysis

 Part two of our “good weed” series is here, and we’re focusing on the best strains for relaxation! Whether you’re looking to unwind after a hectic day or need help falling asleep, we’ve got you covered. In this episode, we explore two essential relaxing strains—one with high THC and one with high CBD—to help you find the perfect match for your relaxation needs. Tune in to learn all about the effects, benefits, and tips for using these calming strains.  “What is good weed? I know it sounds like a little bit of a quip here, but good weed is weed that makes you feel good. And to me that means a number of things. It can make you feel those typical euphoric high feelings that people adore or it could also give you therapeutic relief for symptoms of illnesses or side effects from medications.” If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend Episode 256, What Is “Good Weed”?

Today’s episode begins a 4-part series exploring what “good weed” truly means - for women. We’re challenging the outdated idea that “good weed” is defined by a group of guys hanging out in a smoky room. Instead, we’re redefining it to support the diverse needs of women—whether it’s for stress relief, a creative spark, or a balanced, enjoyable high. Stay tuned for the rest of the series, where we’ll share the best cannabis strains to match how you want to feel. “At the end of the day, what good weed is for you is going to differ from what good weed is for me. What’s good for those high-time stoner bros who have declared that weed to be the chronic, the fire, the dopest shit around, it’s not my chronic, bro. I like something that has less of a THC effect, something that’s more mind windy, get lost in a creative process, or that’s really social and chatty is more fun to me than just checking out and going away.” If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend Episode 232, Back To Basics: A Simplified Guide to Cannabis Strains.

In the second episode of our Pride Series, we speak with Dr. Donald Abrams, a pioneering AIDS doctor and cannabis advocate who was on the front lines during the 1980s AIDS crisis. Dr. Abrams shares how the loss of his partner inspired his groundbreaking efforts to study the medical use of cannabis for AIDS patients. Learn about the community's response to the crisis in San Francisco, the birth of medical cannabis, and how these efforts sparked a national legalization movement. This episode delves into the resilience and unity of the LGBTQ+ community and explores the ongoing impact of cannabis in medical treatments. “As a young gay doctor, one of the hardest things for me was when a patient's parents came from the East coast and they learned for the first time that their son was gay, that their son had AIDS, and their son was dying. That was a very powerful experience as a young doctor, to have to transmit that information to parents who were really quite devastated by learning that news.” If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend Episode 246, AIDS & Cannabis: How Love and Perseverance Paved the Way for Legalization.

Tune in to hear Lisa’s short but sweet 1st time story. Did you know that 3 out of 4 women in the U.S. have access to legal cannabis?
