That's a Doobie
That's a Doobie podcast is a fun and informative show chronicling the real-time journey (ups and downs) and learning experiences of our hosts, Omari Jalan and Keyston, as they enter the Cannabis industry. As a friendly duo, they welcome guests to talk about all things Cannabis.

While you listen to this show, please remember: recreational Cannabis should only be consumed by enjoyers 21 and older.
In this episode, Omari puts Keyston, aka Stone, on the hot seat to brazenly discuss how the Cannabis Industry became amoral and how veterans are built to combat the industry's growing amorality.
Why won’t the feds allow veterans to receive VA access to medical marijuana? Veterans have done a lot (some of it unimaginable) to serve our country. The consequences of that service can be detrimental. However, Cannabis is known to manage many of these physical and mental consequences. Yet, the VA does not recommend Cannabis for these ailments, preferring, in general, to stick with pharmaceutical prescriptions. In this episode, we share our research and ideas regarding why the feds keep hatin’ on VA recommended medical marijuana.
It's nothing for an MSO to get called out on Social Media, but earlier this month, one MSO got called out for possible hypocrisy regarding their support of social equity and ties to Russia. Is it time for more MSOs to be held accountable for HOW they support equity in Cannabis and ownership?
On March 1, 2022, Biden delivered his State of the Union Address without once mentioning Cannabis, even though he ran his campaign on Marijuana Reform. With various acts in play such as the MORE Act, the CAO Act, the Safe Banking Act, and the States Reform Act, will Biden's Administration and the Democrats be able to leverage the nation's desire for Cannabis reform before it's too late? Episode 20 (actually) Part One
We've been in the Cannabis Industry for 3 years and we had to accept the truth: our startup wasn't getting the traction we needed. So, it was time to redevelop our Cannabis Business. Keyston, aka Stone, is sharing his "5 Warning Signs That It's Time to Redevelop Your Cannabis Business". It's a hard truth to admit, and maybe even a slight blow to the ego, but many businesses have been there. Maybe it's time for your Cannabis business to go there too...we're definitely glad we did. Here we go!
We were gonna focus mostly on art censorship, but then you know how that goes. Conspiracy ideas, aliens, and cat abductions became the topics of discussion along with a call for Cannabis companies to do more to support the arts. Grab your doobies (or your hempies), and let's get into this. Here we go.

This bonus episode of That’s a Doobie is a family friendly one, so if you’re comfortable, and ready, you can use this episode to help have a conversation with your teen about 420, yep….420.
Our Producer, Renita, is also a CannaParent advocate. She encourages parents, particularly those who use cannabis, to be open, responsible, and honest about the plant. In this audio presentation, Renita discusses how teens can be better prepared to handle the 420 celebration legally and responsibly.
Of course, we know teens shouldn't be smoking weed and vapes, but we also know what our lives were like when we were teens and Renita believes it’s best to take a pro-active approach to Cannabis vs a reactive approach.
Her presentation includes a brief history about 420, a brief overview of Cannabis laws, and tips to help teens prepare for 420 if they happen to find themselves around weed during that time. You may not want to grab your libations for this one, but here we go anyway.
This presentation was originally created, by request, for a youth group based in Chicago, IL., and is being made available for public use as a free resource for Marijuana misuse prevention.
TRIGGER WARNING: Host Omari Jalan and guest Mark (Writer, Entrepreneur, and creator of now defunct website "Officer Downey") have a brutally honest conversation about Mark's abusive youth at the hands of his step-father, who was also a cop. Mark touches on how cannabis helped him endure his suffering and later helped him cope with Complex PTSD. This conversation gets dark and heavy, but also light and fun with jokes about weird tasting high snacks and hot opinions about social equity in Illinois. Listener discretion is advised.
If you or someone you love are in immediate danger, please call 911 or seek professional help.
Biting her style, her biggest branding mistake, and being a weed smokin' daughter of a minister and deacon are just some of the funny stuff Kim Brio, branding expert, talks about with host Omari Jalan in episode ten of That's a Doobie. Plus, we'll see if Kim can stay awake long enough after smoking her indica heavy hybrid to tell us about the first time she got high. Spark up your doobie, and let's do this. Here we go.
You can find Kim Brio on IG @iamkimbrio and Linkedin as "Kim Brio".

Mally Maal isn't the only one who messed around and got a hold of the Cannabis "Sidewalk" strain. Sometimes, folks need to learn when to just sit down. And oh yeah: please, no DWI (driving while high). It's illegal, it's not safe, and horrible things can happen.
Sidewalk Strain (joke): Weed or Marijuana that you purchase or find from a completely unreliable source, such as a sidewalk, that causes you to do some completely dumb stuff after consumption.
In this episode, very informally meet The Doobie Room and learn a lil somethin' about who and what we are. Here's a hint: on this episode, we were weed smoking, beer drinking new (and old) friends and colleagues that decided to make a podcast to help the world learn about us as Social Equity Applicants in Illinois. Yep, we want to open a dispensary. Let's go!
Why "Take One"? Well, this was our first podcast, like a pilot. So, we may have to recover some of this info. We had a little TOO much fun.
