The Cannabis Potcast
The Cannabis Potcast
Gary Johnston
I share my passion about cannabis in every episode of The Cannabis Potcast, exploring a Canadian's cannabis culture, one toke at a time. Through personal stories, conversations with fellow cannabis enthusiasts, and current news about the ever changing landscape, it is a potcast where you'll learn a little, laugh a little and who knows, you may even get a buzz.
I've had a blast - one toke at a time
In the final episode of The Cannabis Potcast the theme is gratitude and appreciation. I share my thoughts of some of what we covered in the last seven years, who we talked to and offer special thanks to my son Ian for all his help. I have one very appropriate story on what defines a stoner. We make our last stop on Cultivar Corner, brought to you by Up In Smoke, and Matt joins me from his front porch to sample Triangle Queen from Sweetgrass cannabis.

I ask a couple questions about your cannabis use – could you be addicted? Or too much reliance? I have a couple perspectives, Quebec finally allows vape products and Toronto looks to cap cannabis stores. On Cultivar Corner, brought to you by Up In Smoke, we try some Woody Nelson 33 Splitter – delicious! All of that and more on episode 236 of the Cannabis Potcast.
