• S2E6: Meet our new host: Ross Rebagliati
    May 23 2024

    The Canadian Potcast has a new host. In 1998 Ross Rebagliati became the first Olympic snowboarding gold medalist, but it was what happened next that made his name synonymous with cannabis: his medal was revoked for a positive drug test, then reinstated on appeal when it turned out that cannabis wasn’t actually banned. In the 25 years since then he has reinvented himself as a campaigner, entrepreneur and advocate… so we’re really excited to welcome him to the Canadian Potcast as our new host. Don Shafer isn’t going anywhere though, and in this episode he gets to know our new colleague a little better, and talks about the highs and lows of his life and career after that fateful run in Nagano ‘98.

  • S2E5: Beneath the Buzz
    Mar 14 2024

    In this episode of Potcast titled, "Beneath the Buzz" we explore our health and the planet. First, we’re talking to the doctor who has been working with cannabis for sixteen years about how the body works with cannabis, and why it does what it does in our brains. Dr. Bonni Goldstein says that even doctors don’t often know about the body’s endocannabinoid system and that makes it hard to find or administer treatments. Then we’re going to delve into pot’s problem with plastic: from Ziploc baggies to doob tubes, cannabis is almost always wrapped in plastic… so why is that? And how do we fix it?

  • High Desire: Exploring Cannabis in Intimacy
    Feb 8 2024

    Some people study cannabis, and some people study sex. There are not many people who study both, but we’ve found one of the few: Amanda Moser is a sexologist who studies cannabis and intimacy and she is on the show to run us through the science of sex with cannabis and how to incorporate the plant into the bedroom. Plus we have cannabis content creator and influencer Wu Russell on the show to talk about how she has journeyed into using cannabis in her own sex life as a self-described “canna-mom”.
