TDOC Spotlight 5: Brittney Cornwell

Series Finale: Peter the Plug & The End of the Spotlight Era

The Dodi Connection closes out its run and the Spotlight Series with an unfiltered, hilarious, and deeply thoughtful finale. Mr. Wowzer is joined by a rotating cast of co-hosts and special guest Peter “The Plug”, a cannabis concierge at March and Ash and one of the most outspoken advocates for education, integrity, and minor cannabinoid awareness in California’s cannabis space. From San Diego roots to New York City libraries, from street culture to science, this conversation dives into cannabis as plant medicine, the future of the industry, chasing highs beyond capitalism, and why education—not THC numbers—is the real flex. Plus: wild stories, cultural perspective, creative visions, a game show finale, and flowers given where they’re due. This is more than an episode, it’s a celebration, a mic drop, and a thank-you to the community that made TDOC what it was. Thank you all for all your support of The Dodi Connection.
