  • Refreshingly mature cannabis conversations.

    I first came across Shango Los on YT while searching for content on something specific, but he popped up in suggested videos. I have ADHD (not severe) and usually prefer shorter vids. I was enthralled for over an hour, watched several more vids/ podcasts & really appreciated the credentialed guests & topics, different to the canna related content I’d seen previously. Shango replied to YT comment (forget the question now) & I thought that was cool.

    Forgot about the show for several years & just... more

  • Knowledge

    This podcast is one of the best, with interesting topics and in-depth discussion.

    Hope it keeps going, been a few months since a new episode and good podcasts can fizzle out.

    Also want to comment on how well done the ads are. Relevant to the podcast and the lead in is smooth I like the chimes signaling the start. Other podcasts can have annoying ads and they just cut in mid sentence, it’s not a good listening experience.
