I loved this. I learned lots. This is globally relevant. It's also delivered well and fun to listening to...which I usually did a little high. I am late to the game as someone who hadn't tried weed until it was legal. This series had so much great information.

I learned so much.

This podcast covered it all. Excellent content! Entertaining AND informative.
Bottom line:
I can't wait for the Craft Cannabis shops to start popping up!
Closer to how it worked before 'they' mucked it up.
Toking since 1959.
As an example of ineptitude: In order to purchase a small bud I can only receive it packaged IN a wrapper, IN a box, IN a double walled PLASTIC jar(at least 50 times larger capacity than is needed), without even being able to see it, smell it, or see the condition it is in UNTIL I open all that packaging. Makes no sense and makes the regulations look stupid.

HIGHLY LEGAL gets it right!

As someone who consults for, is heavily invested in, and earns income from the Canadian cannabis industry I really enjoyed this series. I think some topics and concepts are a little bit oversimplified for the sake of the audience, but generally speaking, it's really well produced, informative, and accurate and even for those like me who have lived in this space there are some new insights and information to be learned. I've only listened to five episodes, so I may come back and revisit this review, but I'm loving it so far.

So good!

Jay with that modest Canadian charisma kills this documentary with his team. It gives insight to the two sides on the history and present Canadian legalization issues of cannabis that I had no idea I was missing.

That was a really good listen.

It has a lot of view points and if you haven't been involved in that word and even if you don't have any knowledge about it, you'll finish this potcast hungry of more...

Absolutely interesting
