The Future of Weed

As Broccoli Talk wraps, Mennlay and Lauren ask a big question: Where does weed go from here? In this episode, they imagine the future of cannabis—whether federal legalization is on the horizon, how the plant could improve reproductive care, and if psychedelics will be the next green wave. Then they celebrate the end of the podcast by sharing their wildest weedy fantasies for the world to come.

Bitter Harvest

What’s happening down on the farm? In this episode, Lauren and Nathan Cozzolino from Rose Los Angeles discuss what’s happening now in today’s saturated California market. Small growers are in peril, but consumers can help these outdoor farms survive—one (or two) tasty edibles at a time.

Your Mind on Weed

Discovering how cannabis fits in your life is an ever-evolving process. Dierdre Wallace, licensed marriage and family therapist, discusses cannabis and mental health with Mennlay and shares the ways her life shifted her perspective on weed. She also offers practical tips on tolerance breaks and navigating relationship challenges and opportunities sparked by the plant.

Design Minded

Studio Linear founder Andrea Beaulieu chats with Mennlay about trends in cannabis design, including what’s next and what’s done, the unexpected power of drawing on a childlike sense of wonder when it comes to creating decidedly grown-up branding, and how living off-grid in northern Maine sparked a big green shift for her company. Presented in partnership with Studio Linear.
