For obvious reasons, today is a very special episode. Happy 420, everyone!
Instead of our usual interview format, we’re speaking to three budtenders in the world of cannabis. We ask each of them a handful of questions before jumping into Stump the Budtender–a game that’s exactly what it sounds like.
So, who are our contestants?
First up is Jessica Waldeck from Rebelle Dispensary. Focused on the intersection of wellness and cannabis, she began her career in this industry as a marketing coordinator at an infused yoga studio. Since then, she’s run two marathons, a sprint triathlon, and a 100-mile bike course, all aided and enhanced with cannabis.
Second, you’ll meet Nate Frim of Theory Wellness. He’s a pioneer in medical cannabis, working to understand how the human mind works and how he can help people use cannabis to overcome their challenges.
Finally, we’re joined by AK, who knows the legacy and legal markets equally well. Originally from Montclair, AK launched a delivery service in New Jersey called VibesAK, a not-for-profit dedicated to providing food and security for children in the state.
In this episode, you’ll learn the day-to-day of three very different people ostensibly doing the same job in our industry and how they got there. You’ll also hear us dive deep into the science behind a number of strains, and you’ll discover some of the latest innovations in cannabis products. And last but certainly not least, get ready to play Stump the Budtender in the second part of our very special 420 “Extravaganja” episode. Enjoy!
