| 10/21/26 | A True OG Helped Legalize Trees (and Treehouses) | In the 1970s, Michael Garnier was a first wave outlaw weed grower in Southern Oregon, which became, and remains, a legendary cannabis growing region. Michael has an equally storied history as a treehouse pioneer, and is currently the proprietor of Out and About Treesort, located just outside Cave Junction, Oregon. As you’ll hear, in both weed and treehouses, he had to fight the law to make his dreams a reality. But he persevered, and now he’s combined those two callings with 420-Treehouses Bud and Breakfast, a cluster of three beautiful treehouses that look down on a luscious, licensed cannabis grow. I recently had the good fortune of spending a starry, stony night in the Kush Cabin, before sitting down over breakfast with the proprietor himself. If you’re ever heading through Southern Oregon, or looking for a dream destination for cannabis tourism, I give it my highest recommendation. Not just for the killer weed and tree-mendous accommodations, but for the good vibes that Michael and his extended family have been cultivating in that valley for about 50 years.

| 10/7/26 | How Sour Diesel Lit Up NYC | New York City's most legendary strain first surfaced at a downtown hippie rock club, and ascended into being the premier smoke among the Baked Apple's celebrity set and lit-erati. Sourcing, buying, selling and eventually growing this game-changing strain was an obsession for a young herb aficionado named AJ (a.k.a "Asshole Joe"), whose fortunes rose and fell as part of Gotham's rough-and-tumble underground scene. For decades, AJ kept his hustle a secret from even his closest friends, but now he's ready to tell all.

| 9/30/26 | Reggae Vibes, Underground Herb and Pet CBD | Aaron Argueta’s weed journey touches on the Southern California reggae scene, the freewheeling medical cannabis grey market, and the emerging world of CBD for pets, with stops along the way in jail and business school. It all started with some early, formative, aromatic encounters courtesy of his herb loving father, followed by advanced weed mentorships from a world-famous ganja farmer and the band Slightly Stooped. Today, Aaron is the co-founder of Bailey’s CBD For Pets, a California wellness brand built around hemp-derived CBD oils, soft chews, and other pet wellness products, with offerings for dogs, cats, and horses.

| 9/16/26 | Let's Nerd Out About Weed (w/ Alec Dixon) | From terpenes to THC, the biochemistry of the cannabis plant is endlessly fascinating. So get yourself rolled up and ready to delve into "the weeds" with someone who's seen and smoked as much cannabis as anyone on Earth. As co-founder of SC Labs—one of the first cannabis analytical laboratories—Alec Dixon helped pioneer the use of scientific assessment to increase our understanding of cannabis, while providing the public with third-party verification that their stash is free of potentially dangerous contaminants. From how cannabis labs helped identify the first high CBD strains, to the shift in focus from potency to terp profile as the standard of quality, it's an episode for full-on weed nerds and newbies alike to learn more about our favorite plant.

| 12/4/25 | Soul Survivor | In January, Martin Olive was shot seven times outside the Vapor Room dispensary, which he co-founded in San Francisco in 2004. Located in the legendary Haight Street neighborhood, the Vapor Room was known for its extensive compassion program offering free cannabis to patients in need, and for the vibrant community of mutual support that took root in its on-site consumption lounge. Over the past year, Martin has made a truly miraculous recovery. We discuss his shooting at the end of the interview, including his very intentional approach to integrating cannabis into the healing process. But first, we talk at length about his journey from slanging bags and smoking head stash as a teenager, to operating one of America's most respected and enduring first wave medical cannabis dispensaries.
