  • Discussing the Summit over a few Canns
    May 6 2022

    Intro — David is dragging a little (and a little under the weather) after three nights in a row with very little sleep.

    [1] — We try all three types of Cann social tonics: Lemon Lavender, Grapefruit Rosemary and Blood Orange Cardamon.

    [2] Adam Devine, of Pitch Perfect and Modern Family, is a spokesman and investor in the company.

    [4:10] We start with Blood Orange Cardamon, which Jenny has the most trepidation about.

    [4:40] The cans have child-safe tops that we haven’t seen yet. Pic on Twitter. 

    [7:30] Jenny’s dirty joke nearly flies under the radar ;)

    [9:45]  Our favourite funny French words. (Email us yours: hello@okanaganz.com)

    [13:50] We discuss the BC Cannabis Summit, with Jenny asking the questions:

    [14] What were you most looking forward to before the summit even began?

    [16:50] What panels did you moderate?

    [27:15] What other panel did you find interesting?

    [34] Was there a topic that came up that surprised?

    [39:35] What was your overall takeaway?

  • Hot takes on cannabis kombucha
    Apr 19 2022

    Intro

    [1:30] — We gave a try to two types of kombucha by impromptu: 1:1 Blue Majik Lemonade and CBD Goji Grapefruit.

    Early on in legalization we made our own syrup and infused our homemade booch. Read Jenny's step-by-step guide at theounce.ca. Find it here.

    [2:30] — Jenny talks about her booch background.

    [6:20] — We get into the review and crack open our bottles.

    [12:20] — Volume 2, Issue 1 of the oz. magazine has Pineapple Buds on the cover. We chat about meeting the owners, Kyra and Laine, who took us on a tour of the facility. 

    [17:15] — It's opening how much influence reviews can have.

    [18] — Reddit gives great reviews, too. Check out r/thebccs.

    [19] — The Fun & Games section has been a favourite to create.

    [23:30] — We talk a little bit about THC and what budtenders say is their least favourite question ...

    [29] — Outro

  • Much to do while high
    Apr 8 2021

    David samples BC Black Cherry by Flowr.

    [3:15] We talk about the products we’ve tried, including:

    • Wana Quick Gummies — fast acting edible with a head high
    • CBD Earth Vape PureFarma — one of the best carts
    • Greybeard SLK Live Resin vape cart — one of my favourites, but it gets ‘gummed up.’

    [8:23] What inspired our intro.

    [9:15] A few more words about BC Black Cherry

    [10:20] We've been making a big list of things to do when you’re high. Curated from all corners of the internet as well as our own favourites. And some bizarre ones… who the hell irons when they’re high?

    Check out our list of nearly 100 things to do while high.

    [18:35] Today I get a chance to talk with Katerina Bakalos, the owner of Green Gaia Cannabis Co. She’s about to release her cover of the 80s hit, I think we’re alone now. We talked about music, weed, and surrounding yourself with the right people.

    Katerina’s rendition of the 80s classic I think we’re alone now goes on pre-sale April 15. It releases May 1. Keep an eye out for the accompanying music video.
