You just picked up some goodies from your favorite dispensary, life is bliss. But have you ever wondered what budtenders talk about after you leave the shop? We’ll be spilling all the tea from terpenes to cannabis reform, pop culture, mental health, to date or not to date your patients, and what really goes down in the back room. Come chill with some of my favorite budtenders and cannabis insiders while lighting up to another episode of That Budtender Podcast.
