So an award-winning engineer, a board-certified OBGYN, and a podcast host walk into a bar (actually we video chatted)...

Welp, that's all the further this corny joke will go, so you can save your pity laugh for another time. In reality, my discussion with Gina Dubbė and Dr. Leslie Apgar was far from banter, although we did have fun along the way.

Throughout our journey, I was granted the privilege of learning about the story of how these remarkable women evolved from being two best friends to presently owning Greenhouse Wellness, a medical marijuana dispensary, and Blissiva, a female-focused cannabis line. In our chat, Gina and Leslie rendered keen insights of particular barriers anyone faces in the cannabis industry, but especially women. Furthermore, class was certainly in session in this episode: Dr. Apgar broke down in a simplistic manner the 'ins' and 'outs' of why specific cannabis products are more effective than others for medical patients, whereas Gina's entrepreneurial brilliance was on full display from start to finish. But wait ... there's more!

Press the play button on your streaming platform of choice to tune in to the entirety of our action-packed discussion, as there is sure to be take-home value for a vast array of listeners. Now without further ado - sit, back, relax, and enjoy the show (and perhaps even bust out the ole notepad)!

Remember walking into a candy store as a kid (or a toy store perhaps)? As you walked in, the abundant sights and smells of deliciously sweet (or plastic) treats enveloped all of your sub-5 foot stature.

Now fast forward many. many years (maybe many more for some of us). You walk into a cannabis dispensary and are overwhelmed by the myriad of various different strains of cannabis, forms of cannabis, gadgets to consume cannabis, and maybe even the 'cool' and 'hip' dispensary t-shirt for sale perched up at the check-out.

Where do you even start? What strain were you searching for? Hold up, there's a frickin' menu? Wait, am I at a restaurant? Hmm, what about some edibles or concentrate? But what about that rad shirt that is staring at you?

The intention of this episode is to help relieve the anxiety and overwhelmed-ness that may manifest when shopping at a cannabis dispensary. This eppy serves as a guide to all marijuana consumers by assisting in the creation of a cannabis dispensary 'game plan'. Throughout these approximately 20 minutes, learn tips to facilitate the creation of your own dispensary 'game plan' that will focus your shopping endeavors, and ultimately, make you a happier cannabis consumer.

We have all played the board game Candyland when were younger (and perhaps still do). Man, what a friggin' fun game. Unfortunately, the Candyland strain of cannabis has nothing to do with the Candyland game (however, after puffing on this strain you may want to play and/or create your own board game).

With that being said, Candyland is pretty magnificent in its own right. Throughout this mini-eppy, we will explore and play with this strain's origin, effects, typical yield, terpene profile, and more! So climb into your attic and find the Candyland board game, sit back, relax, and enjoy the show! You'll thank yourself for the knowledge you've acquired the next time you are at the dispensary.
