Guest Bio:

Ariel is your average twenty year old w*** prodigy- she entered  studio B in a navy floral maxi skirt, a head full of dark pink curls, and two nose piercings. She works at Mr. Nice Guy- one of the dopest head shops in Missouri (no pun intended) and educates customers on decisions they make around consumption. She also is a medical patient, plant advocate, and of course, enthusiast. #StreetScholarship #Iconic

Sadly enough, she also believes in Harry styles fashion sense more than I do. Tune in to hear us talk about her passions and the topics below!


Description: 

Young people have always experimented with cannabis at a higher rate than their elders. In this episode, we call on the knowledge of a young Black woman who works at a cannabinoid dispensary. In contrast to traditional dispensaries, Cannabinoid dispensaries can be found all over the country due to the hemp bill loophole. This means that people can consume flower in all 50 states! Listen to us compare the effects of cannabinoids in the body to different Starbucks drinks.

In this episode, we drop a couple hypotheses including (1) Burning fatter J’s is a waste of flower and (2) society will never ever EVER outgrow the iconic p0t brownie. Justin fact checks this discussion with the latest research.
