YBOW65: Knife on a Stick

Happy Halloween! We know it isn’t October yet… But it feels like it! Get ready for some fun skeleton facts to make you feel a little uncomfy!
We were a little tired from our festivities this weekend, but we have some plant updates for you and then Sam told us a very weird story. We highly speculated about the Beast of Gévaudan and whether or not it’s a werewolf. This episode had a bunch of french names, including some professional wolf hunters! It’s good old 1700’s fun for the whole family!
Then we got super occult-y with this week’s edition of Meducation! Sage told us how we can contact the plant spirit through ritual, and walked us through all 7 steps. This ritual came from High Magick by Philip H. Farber, which we highly recommend for all your Weed Witchery!
Thanks for listening!

YBOW64: Tough ”Tony” Bastone

CW: murder, homelessness, discussion of alcoholism
Sage is on a true crime kick for some reason, but we promise it’s still very weird! We went on a wild ride with the story of Iron Mike, or Mike the Durable. Michael Molloy was an Irish immigrant who stayed strong, even when a bunch of guys were literally out to get him. Sage told us this crazy, but inspiring story, and we dedicated our 4:20 hits to him!
Then Sam talked about how we could make cannabis more sustainable, starting with reducing packaging and talking more about the environment. We really need to start making some BIG changes, and by that we mean corporations, if we want cannabis to remain sustainable.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW63: Lobotomy Season

We recorded in the morning after caffeinating ourselves, so we were on another level this time. Sage started with some crazy numerology realizations about our friendship, leading us once again to talk about how we may or may not be losing our minds. It’s our own personal Hellier!
Sam shared the truly awful but fascinating story of Norwich State Hospital for the Insane. We swear we haven’t talked about this one before! It’s just another place where they ruined a lot of people’s lives, experimenting with bodies and what not. It’s also super haunted, what remains of it anyway.
Then It’s time to catch these hands… Of knowledge! We revisited the concept of The Entourage Effect and Sage explained how THC, CBD, terpenes, and all of that good stuff can help you feel your best.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW62: Just an Axe-ident

CW: violent murder, discussions of abuse
We’ve returned from our east coast road trip with some wild stories and synchronicities! The days leading up to this episode were certainly a wild ride. Sometimes you just need a sign from the universe that you’re on the right track!
As a result of all of this, Sage decided to talk about the Lizzie Borden house – and things just got even more wild. Sage gave us a timeline of the murders of Abby and Andrew Borden, then we discussed what we think really happened back in the 1890’s. Was Lizzie acting out of defense for her safety and sanity, or did a stranger murder her parents? Perhaps we’ll get the chance to ask the ghosts at the Borden House what really happened.
For Meducation this week, we checked in on the progress of cancer research. Sam told us about how a company in the UK is using CBD and THC in order to help those with fatal diagnoses.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW61: Botany Cannabis Lately?

We’re back, this time with another Satanic icon that we certainly don’t want to mess with. Sam told us the legend of the Jersey Devil just in time for our road trip, so we will be stocking up on torches and pitchforks (and locking the doors at night). They also told us about a crazy conspiracy theory involving Ben Franklin that Sage could definitely subscribe to.
In between Sam’s story and our Meducation section, we discussed some weird things that have happened to us personally recently, including possible missing time and gifts from our bird friends. Then Sage told us 5 plants that are related to cannabis in a short section on cannabis botany!
Thanks for listening!
