This pod is SMOKING!! 💨

Literally. This podcast is so good and unique. Let’s face it, there are a lot of pods out there about weed, but this goes beyond. It’s educational, entertaining and at the end of each episode, I feel like the host is becoming more of a friend and his opinions and takes are amazing. Great pod. Give it a toke or two!

Great show

Hey Don I just recorded my first podcast called the amateur stoner the first episode will be out soon. I want to say I love the show and I starting using cannabis in 2018 for medicinal reasons. I have bad chronic pain issues and I used to be a hardcore opioid addict where i lost everything. Because I tried it with someone i deeply care about my life changed for the better. Cannabis helps me physically and mentally. I had no emotions. Cannabis makes me feel like a human being again. I will be severely honest. If it wasn’t for cannabis I would either keep on trying to end my life or I would have done it already. I get tears in my eyes I wish I used cannabis a very long time ago. Cannabis helps me to keep going. I love all three. Sativa early in the day hybrid in the afternoon and indica at night and I love consuming in all forms🥰🥰 Thank you for your awesome show you have a regular listener now and you help give me some ideas for my show. You are fantastic brother. Cannabis saves and brongs people together.
