YBOW57: 1920’s Zines

We're winding down from a busy week last week with some mead & weed, as well as an update on our future ghost investigating plans! We started out this episode with some exciting news, then Sam told about the Coral Castle in Florida. We learned all about how to build our own weird sculptures out of limestone, as well as how to successfully distribute zines!
This week for Meducation we talked about purple weed from the dispensary, Sam and Nick's personal plant, and how legalization is going for New England. Then Sage gave us some tips on how to calm down when you get a little too high. Remember, Spicy = Focus!
Thanks for listening!

YBOW56: The Otter Man Empire

Sorry y'all, this episode isn't about the elusive Otter Man. Or is it?
This week we actually talked about Nessie! Sage gave us part one of a multi-parter on the Loch Ness Monster. We discussed most of the sightings dating back to the 6th century (yikes) and talked about what people think Nessie is.
Then for Meducation this week we welcomed a special guest! Nick, Sam's husband, hopped on the mic and told us about curing and drying weed. He's here to cure us of our lack of weed knowledge!
Thanks for listening!

YBOW55: An Entourage of Ghosts

Welcome to episode 55! This week Sam told us all about the terrible things that happened at Castillo San Felipe Del Morro, including war, murder, and dysentery! There's missing soldiers, ghost ships, and our favorite, ghostly wailing and crying! We also decided that we'll have to level up our Guts before we venture into this place ourselves.
For Meducation this week we did the Cannabis Crossword in the back of our copy of High Times! We actually learned a lot from doing this, including what it's called when your cannabis comes snapping down the alleyway at you.
Thanks for listening!

YBOW54: Sustainable Clothing for Aliens

Hold on to your underwear and grab your doodlebugs! This episode was wild. We started out with some fun divination magick, PSAs about COVID and fireworks; then Sage got really angry about UFOs! *WARNING: lots of swearing!* It's okay though because she channeled her rage into talking about Roswell. Through this conversation we learn that Sam's garden is a UFO, possibly made of floral duct tape and dreams.
For Pride Month, Sam gave us some tips on how we can show up for Black and Trans people in the cannabis community. Don't forget to check out these links below for how you can help out:

YBOW53: Manifesting T-Shirts

This week was full of wild speculation, dreams, and synchronicities! Sam led us on a discussion about manifestation and what the hell it means. We talked about what we think it means to "manifest" something, how it applies to us as Satanists, and things people post about it on Twitter. We're manifesting a better world for each other, people. We're also manifesting t-shirts with a *NEW* front and back design (found on our website at-).
Meducation this week was about influential or famous people in cannabis history, both good and bad. As always, you can basically get away with anything if you're white!
Thanks for listening to our casual conversation, we had so much fun recording this episode!

YBOW52: Hail Snake-an!

We started off this episode with our new theme, which one of our favorite artists was kind enough to let us use! We hope you love it as much as we do. Thanks again, Hayley Jane!
Sage filled our heads with Snake knowledge this week with a quick section on snakes in Greek and Pueblo mythology. We discussed myths, legends, history, and artifacts that have been found over time. We also discovered why we love snakes so much - not just because they're the perfect Satanic icon.
Then Sam shared with us some news this week related to legalization, and our concerns about Delta-8 THC are validated! Seriously, just wait until it's been regulated and tested, y'all.
Our new theme is Cosmic Katrina by Hayley Jane and the Primates off of their album We're Here Now (Copyright 2017 To The Moon LLC)

YBOW51: Dogman Improv

Welcome to our one-year celebration episode of starting the podcast! We started out this episode by giving some special thanks to people who have contributed to the show, hyped us up, or supported us over the last year. We love you!
This week we discussed Sam's trip to the Sally House (in their dreams), our plan to start doing live shows, and some Good New Words like kenopsia and some other word that starts with a D! Then Sam told us about the NADP and their project to collect evidence of the Dogman. Some of the stories about this cryptid are super creepy. We're not so sure how we feel about this one...
This edition of Meducation is once again about how our system is based on racism! We discussed the difference between the terms marijuana, cannabis, and weed and our feelings about them.
Jess also gives a special announcement in this episode that you won't want to miss, or else you may be a little confused in the future.
Check out thenorthamericandogmanproject.com for the Dogman audio files, pictures, and more!

YBOW50: Noodlin’ in the Weed(s)

We're back and we're halfway to 100!
Sorry in advance, y'all - this episode got a little heavy. But it's the history of our country and we need to talk about it. So, this week Jess shared the story of Staunton, Virginia, the location of Western State Hospital and DeJarnette Sanitarium. A stop by this abandoned building on a hill lead to a discussion about discrimination and eugenics, basically towards anyone who was not cisgender, rich, or white. (Heads up, this is still happening.) We also touched on some of the legends that are told about this place, as well as the spirits that are said to have stuck around.
Sam added to the discussion with this edition of Meducation, where we discussed the short reign of "Canna-Bumps", the 600mg THC powder that was meant to literally be snorted. We can't even begin to talk about all of the things that were wrong with this idea...
Thanks for listening!

YBOW49: A Reservation For 4:20

Happy 4/20! We recorded this episode on Weed Day, so join us as we celebrate a second time! Sam chose some short, funny stories about hauntings to brighten our day, and we discover what kind of places each of us will haunt in the future! Of course there's tons of bread, hotels, and partying to be had along the way. You don't need a reservation, we'll be expecting you *winky face*.
For Meducation this week Jess talked about the history of "420" and why it's one of the most popular unofficial holidays for stoners!
Ad-free this week because this episode ended up being so short.
Thanks for listening as always.

YBOW48: A Cursed Rock

It's finally Spring and we're absolutely LIVING. We asked our Patrons what they wanted to hear about and they chose weird artifacts, so Jess told us the story of The Cursed Amethyst (or The Purple Sapphire, if you want to really confuse people). Is this fancy rock actually cursed, or was it just some dude's unnecessarily expensive marketing scheme?
For Meducation Sam dove back into the weird world of Delta-8, where nobody has any idea of what's going on, including us. All we know is that this stuff isn't tested and we're scared of it!
Reminder to water your plants, and yourself!
Thanks for listening!
