Know Grow Create

This podcast is my pursuit to bring all things cannabis into the mainstream. To break through the stigma and show everyone the myriad of ways cannabis can unlock their true potential that has been within them all along. Drawing from decades of restaurant experience, I am able to look through a culinary lens at the complexity and opportunities of the cannabis plant. We will explore THC and CBD and all the other 111 cannabinoids. You'll learn about your Endocannabinoid System (ECS), discover terpenes and the unlimited combination of synergistic effects they offer. Learn from heritage farmers how to grow regeneratively. Growing up in the Napa Valley opened my eyes to the craft of wine making and the true impact of terroir and natural farming practices. This level of craft is in its infancy in Cannabis. Lets change that together!

Martin Lee Co-Founder Project CBD | The Essential Guide to CBD by Editors of Reader's Digest & Project CBD

April 11, 2021 • Martin Lee • Season 1 • Episode 15

Join me on Episode 15 when I get to catch up with Martin Lee : Co-Founder & Director of Project CBD. I had the honor of working with Martin in 2017 and always enjoyed our conversations and captivated whenever I heard him speak. His team at Project CBD collaborated with Reader's Digest to write "The Essential Guide to CBD: Everything You Need to Know About What It Helps, Where to Buy, And How to Take It" available now!

Martin Lee is a wealth of knowledge and a master wordsmith in his books:
1985 – Acid Dreams: The CIA, LSD, and the Sixties Rebellion
1990 – Unreliable Sources: A Guide to Detecting Bias in News Media
1997 – The Beast Reawakens: Fascism's Resurgence
2012 – Smoke Signals: A Social History of Marijuana – Medical, Recreational, and Scientific

His journey led him to co-creating Project CBD in 2009 with fellow journalists who had been covering the medical marijuana story—the science, the movement and the industry. They felt that the reintroduction of CBD-rich cannabis into the grassroots supply merited special attention. The serendipitous reappearance of whole plant CBD in Northern California in 2009 has given doctors and patients a unique opportunity to evaluate the effects of cannabidiol. Project CBD updates doctors and patients on developments in cannabis science, therapeutics and political economy.
