Thoughts Off The Stem – Details, episodes & analysis

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem. We are talking about corporate greed in the weed industry. The level of greed in the weed industry is astronomical, but I guess it's just a reflection of the societal greed we see on a personal level, every day on social media. In Canada the weed industry is a budding industry new to the game and I understand that the people involved want to see massive and extreme growth very quickly. The problem with that, is that, while try to expand at a rapid pace. These corporations tend to make major missteps, which lead to quite a few operational mistakes. I think this comes from a lack of experience by the heads of these companies to understand the legitimate market. I say this because, in the canadian cannabis industry, there are quite a few business owners that started out on the black market. Their success there, doesn't necessarily translate to a legitimate business. They are still trying to operate with an underground mindset. I'm sure there is room for some of those practices to help grow these companies, however, there needs to be a shift in the quality of leadership within the cannabis industry. Hope you enjoy the sesh!

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem we're smoking some East Coast Dank'z by MTL Cannabis. The lineage is Grape Gas and Gelato 41, making it a 29% THC Indica. I am smoking Orange Juice, Cured Resin by 1964, in the Stundenglass. It's an 83% THC Cured Resin. This sesh we're talking about the eclectic group of customers we see on a daily basis. Being that retail cannabis is a relatively new development in society. There is a lot of interpersonal carry-over from the black market. We used to have a schedule a time to go visit a guy in a basement or a garage. Upon arrival we had to commit at least 45 minutes to visiting this individual. In some cases you ended up getting sucked into helping with chore list or entertaining kids while they complete some of the tasks on their list. This meant we had to build relationships with our plugs and has carried over to the retail industry where, there is an abundance of people who come into the shop with, at least a small amount of intent to inform you of all the goings on in their lives. I know that we are called "Budtenders". It sounds similar to "Bartender" and there is a clear expectation that we lend a sympathetic ear to our customers. This means that in some cases we get high jacked and ear beaten with peoples problems from time to time. Though I don't mind sharing my years of wisdom to help someone out. Maybe the time to acquire some life advice is not in a packed pot shop. All I'm saying, is that it's a business. Would you go to Walmart and tell the employees there all about your last colonoscopy? I don't think so. Hope you enjoy the sesh! Subscribe, Like, Share and visit Tots420.com for links to all our episodes.

This week on Thoughts Off The Stem we're talking about what it's like to manage a pot shop. How to be a good leader and what it takes to be a good manager. Speaking from personal experience and utilizing a couple anecdotes from my work life. I'm diving into the topic of what it takes to be a good manager. The topics and ideas in this podcast aren't just confined to the cannabis industry, but retail and management as a whole. We as managers have to have difficult conversations with team members on a pretty consistent basis. The ability to deliver that information is crucial to the growth of your business. More importantly these concepts help maximize employee retention, while attracting the types of people you want to have as employees. We as executive leaders have an obligation to help nurture that progression. Enhancing talent with a personal touch is probably one of the hardest things to accomplish for any management team. To best achieve a thriving environment, we have to find a balance between the business and personal influence. Step up your management game and join the sesh!!

White Widow is an awesome Strain. I think it's my new number 2. It allows outsiders to interrupt the high without negatively effecting it. Also I have a favorite dispensary. Not that I'm against new experineces, these guys have just been impressive. Besides you always need a "guy", even if it is a dispo. You ever get fired from a job for a food fight? I have! Don't make me your donut decorator. You will lose food fights! Side note... Fort Henry was built in 1832-1837. Not 1818 like my dumb ass mentioned.

Smoke'n on some White Widdow and Blueberry from Spinach in this Sesh. I'm getting better at Sharing as long as it's on My Terms. 'Cause at 40 is it really Necessary to Share a Joint. I don't Think So. Plus it's Nice to Puff at your own Pace. Side Note... My plants got Murdere. Damn Rabbits T-Rexed my Babies. I Thought I could Read labels, but now I'm Not Sure of Anything. There May have been some Magic in this Sesh. If you Know What I'm Say'n.

Sober People don't Get It, 'cause They don't Get High as Balls and Ponder life! I'm just say'n.

Dab sweats are not what I thought they were. Sink holes, bong hits and talking to the cops. After a Dab I'm way more of a mouth breather than normal. Darts help kids do math. Encourage your kids to throw mini spears, it's good for their brain. Remember that "Everyone Know's I'm High" feeling? Don't do dabs when your kids are home. Do talk your kids about weed. Take it from a professional, lol, 20 plus years of huffing and puffing and I still don't know all the terms.

Today I tried, Purple Ayawaska, and a 10mg THC Mango Pineapple Soda. Amazing, also Read the Label before you drink. The whole can could be the Equivalent to A Lot at Once!!

Weed Helps put Life in Check. Might have mentioned Perspective a couple Times. I Forget that people only listen some times, and show you my joints. This one was a Kief and Leaf mix. It was a doozy. YouTube Boxers aren't Real Fighters. Fight someone who's on the Roster. I'm not Mad at it though. Get your money! 'Cause it's all about Perspective.
