Welcome to Episode 10 of In The Trees Podcast
This episode (& the special feature episode before it) are for the whole cannabis community to hear!
“Share your knowledge. It is a way to achieve immortality.” -Dalai Lama 🙏🏼
For the last 2 months we have been working on putting this project together and it feels amazing to present it to you all! For those in Maine, the rest of the country and the world, who are discovering cannabis for the first time as a result of adult use/recreational use becoming legal...or just plain curiosity, we have decided to ask some of the very best people we could on a state, national and international level, to weigh in on this question: . “From a consumers perspective, how would you choose quality hash?” . Their responses are so amazing, and so full of knowledge, that this one may require several listens. We are beyond grateful to be able to bring you this information, and hope it will serve to better inform you the next time you’re in the dispensary or storefront looking at a jar of hash. . This Friday, you’ll find the video content for this episode on our YouTube channel (so you will have something to look forward to watching this weekend besides the new Mandalorian episode!)
