We’re challenging the outdated idea that “good weed” is defined by a group of guys hanging out in a smoky room. Instead, we’re redefining it to support the diverse needs of women—whether it’s for stress relief, a creative spark, or a balanced, enjoyable high. Stay tuned for the rest of the series, where we’ll share the best cannabis strains to match how you want to feel. “At the end of the day, what good weed is for you is going to differ from what good weed is for me. What’s good for those high-time stoner bros who have declared that weed to be the chronic, the fire, the dopest shit around, it’s not my chronic, bro. I like something that has less of a THC effect, something that’s more mind windy, get lost in a creative process, or that’s really social and chatty is more fun to me than just checking out and going away.” If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend Episode 232, Back To Basics: A Simplified Guide to Cannabis Strains.

In this final episode of our Pride Series, we’re celebrating how far we’ve come with managing HIV and reflecting on the courage it took to persevere through the AIDS crisis. You’ll hear from Natalie Wilson, PhD, a dedicated advocate working to eliminate new HIV infections by 2030, and revisit insights from Dr. Donald Abrams, a pioneer in studying cannabis for AIDS patients. We hope that listening to this series has shed light on the love that led to cannabis legalization, and inspired you with the resilience and ongoing efforts within the LGBTQ+ community. "There are people who are living with HIV that never go to a diagnosis of AIDS. The field has done a really great job at starting medications really early to suppress the virus so that people's immune systems can maintain the integrity to protect the person from infections or these disorders that people have. So the prognosis is really good. If we can catch somebody early in a diagnosis and start medications they have a very long life.

In the second episode of our Pride Series, we speak with Dr. Donald Abrams, a pioneering AIDS doctor and cannabis advocate who was on the front lines during the 1980s AIDS crisis.

That was a very powerful experience as a young doctor, to have to transmit that information to parents who were really quite devastated by learning that news.” If you enjoyed this episode, we’d recommend Episode 246, AIDS & Cannabis: How Love and Perseverance Paved the Way for Legalization.

One in 10 women suffer from Endometriosis, yet it takes an average of 10 years for women to receive a diagnosis. Read that again. Endometriosis, a debilitating disease that so many women suffer from — one that can cause infertility, painful periods, GI issues, and countless other symptoms — is among the hardest to diagnose. It can even take undergoing a surgery to discover the source of years-long suffering. That’s why talking about Endometriosis and the unpredictable pain that comes along with it is so important. Thankfully, cannabis has proven to be an incredible tool for women who are struggling with painful Endo symptoms, and in this emotional episode, we hear from women who found that relief.

When Christine De La Rosa was diagnosed with lupus in 2010, her team of nearly a dozen doctors put her on 11 pills a day — five of which were opioids.

After five years of debilitating symptoms, Christine found medical cannabis, and for the first time since her diagnosis, she began to feel better. In today’s inspiring episode, Christine shares how swapping prescription drugs for cannabis saved her life, and she encourages others to advocate for themselves on their journey to holistic healing.

But even as cannabis is quickly legalizing and the meaning of the word is changing, not everyone has hopped on the bandwagon quite yet. Tune in for more exploration.

Love a mystery? The original cannabis plants that existed in the world are from Asia, the Middle East, Central & South America and the Caribbean, and they are called Landrace strains. These strains have some amazing characteristics - for years, people have enjoyed them to relieve pain or stress, help with sleep, or just relax & laugh. And despite cannabis being illegal, someone loved the effects so much - and yes, thought they could make some money from it - that they made a really big effort to share them across the world. Landrace strains have helped create literally thousands of new hybrids.
