Welcome to an extra-special Halloween episode! Sam treated us to a dramatic reading of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. There was lots of talk of food and a wonderful time was had by all (except one unfortunate soul).
Jess then gave us an update on where marijuana stands on some state ballots for the November 3rd election. If you've already voted, thank you! Otherwise, get out and vote or we officially have permission to yell at you.
Thanks for listening!

Trigger warning: discussion of abuse, suicide, and mental illness.
Let Satan take over! This week we discussed one of New England's first possessions, the case of Elizabeth Knapp. She definitely ate cheesy potatoes, we fact-checked it. Jess also complained a ton about Puritan America and we talked about our privilege as witches in modern times.
Meducation this week was once again brought to you by trans rights! Sam gave us another run-down of why different hormones effect the way that you process marijuana.
Thanks for listening!

It's Halloween Month and therefor we're hitting y'all with some of the scariest stories that we know. Sam shared the story of the Sallie House in Kansas this week, a story that has traumatized us ever since we heard it. We could have talked about this place for hours but decided to refrain... For now.
Then Jess reads us 5 Fun Facts and Rumors About THC. We learned some really weird stuff during this segment, including exactly how big of a dab you would have to take to actually die.
Please excuse our audio quality this week, it was just too good for us to re-record!
Thanks for listening!

Welcome back to the Wickedest Podcast in the... East? This week Jess covered a classic ghost town in Arizona. Jerome is quite literally a town full of ghosts, including a ghost dog, old-timey headless miners, and a bunch of strong-ass ladies.
Then Sam talks about the wonderful film that is Reefer Madness, aka our favorite thing to have come out of the 30's.
Thanks so much for listening!

Back into the weird world of cryptids we go! Jess told us about the legend of Champ, the lake monster from Lake Champlain. He could be a dinosaur, a horse, or even a whale. With over 300 sightings, we may never know exactly what he is - but we can heavily speculate!
Sam covered the difference between THC-A and THC for this week's edition of Meducation. We talked about how to read labels for your cannabis and how to make the most of your stash.
Thanks once again for listening!

*Trigger Warning* This episode includes discussions of cult behavior, emotional abuse, suicide, and mental illness.
It's time for Part Two of Sam's cult series! We pick up where we left off in episode 14 and Sam talks about what happened after the Final Fantasy House - otherwise known as The Sara Saga. It's honestly an absolute mess.
Our Meducation this week was inspired by Suicide Prevention Month. Jess tells us how cannabis can help depression and we talk about some resources that may be useful if you or someone you know has been struggling.

We went international again this week and Jess covered the Edinburgh Vaults in Scotland. The history of this place isn't very pleasant, but that just makes for a creepier story, and more hauntings! Bonus: Jess also realizes that she may have actually had a paranormal experience here... But of course we will never be sure.
Sam then Meducated us on the difference between smoking and vaping your weed, as well as the benefits/dangers of vaping. If you prefer to vape your nostalgia, this is the edition for you!
Thanks for listening!

Welcome to the second part of our Demonology series! Sam talked about three demons this week - Stolas, Aamon, and Bifrons. As usual, the owls are not what they seem...
For Meducation, Jess talked about how to keep your weed fresh. We learned a LOT this time around.
Thanks so much for listening!
