Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

David Ettershank MP: B Side
Q: What does a regulated market need to look like?
The guest outlines a two-stream approach: a medicinal market with doctors as gatekeepers and a taxed, regulated adult-use market with security and quality assurance, drawing on models from Canada or Germany and emphasizing public health alongside revenue generation.
David Ettershank MP: B Side
Q: Would you rather buy cannabis from a legit shop or grow your own?
David expresses a preference for growing his own, citing personal supply and a strong connection to cultivation, while acknowledging the broader discussion about regulated retail as a safer, quality-controlled channel.
Spankie Jackzon: B Side
Q: Are you ready?
The guest confirms readiness and the host proceeds to the rapid-fire segment.
Spankie Jackzon: A Side
Q: What brought you to wanting to talk about cannabis on this podcast, and how do you feel about being on air discussing it?
Spankie emphasizes a desire to break down stigma and share diverse experiences, highlighting the shift in perception around cannabis and the importance of open, non-judgmental dialogue.
Helen Kapalos: B Side
Q: What are your thoughts on cannabis reform more broadly? And do you see that medicinal industry will still thrive if there is a social market out there as well?
The guest agrees that legalization is important and that success depends on building the right infrastructure, regulation, and evidence-based policies that support both medicinal and social markets.
