Cannabis has long been shrouded in half-truths and misconceptions. We're debunking cannabis myths in this episode with Chris Fontes, a leading voice in the cannabis industry, to unravel the truths behind some of the most persistent cannabis myths. 

We delve into the often misunderstood classifications of edibles labelled as indica and sativa and why this binary persists in dispensaries, what happens when you use CBD to 'cancel out' THC, what distinguishes hemp from marijuana, how long does THC stay in your system, should the term marijuana be used and a whole lot more. 

Debunking cannabis myths with Chris offers a comprehensive exploration of the realities of cannabis. It stands as a testament to the importance of ongoing education and the dismantling of outdated beliefs in the world of cannabis consumption. With each myth busted, we move closer to a society that embraces the full potential of cannabis, guided by knowledge and understanding.

The landscape of cannabis edibles is ever-evolving, with legalization and regulation playing pivotal roles. In Canada, we've witnessed slow but steady progress, and it's a narrative that's unfolding globally. This shift isn't just about laws; it's about breaking barriers and setting the stage for culinary innovation and consumer education. As a cannabis enthusiast and home cook, I've seen firsthand the challenges and triumphs within the industry, and I believe we're on the cusp of a delicious revolution.

Gone are the days when cannabis cuisine was limited to brownies and gummies. We're entering an era of exploration, where chefs and home cooks alike are infusing cannabis into a diverse array of dishes. It's an exciting time for gastronomy, with the potential for fusion and experimentation that knows no bounds.

Education is key to this culinary renaissance. As consumers become more knowledgeable about the nuances of edibles, the demand for high-quality, well-crafted products that cater to specific tastes and dietary requirements is on the rise. It's a journey of discovery, and I'm here to guide you through it. 

The future of cannabis is already here.

In this week's episode I share a warming remedy for the common cold - an infused hot toddy. It's a comforting beverage that I turned to recently when I was feeling under the weather. It's simple to make, with hot water, lemon, lemon juice, infused honey, and an optional dash of whiskey. I find the whiskey more medicinal than alcoholic in this context, but feel free to skip it if you prefer.  Remember, you can adjust the sweetness and tartness to your liking, but be mindful of the potency of the honey.
