The Best Cannabis Podcasts to Get High To

by: Patrick Bennett | on April 5, 2019 | No Comments

Podcasts have gained popularity in recent times, and they offer a fresh way to get your daily fix of cannabis-related content. Whether on your daily commute, working in the garden, out for a run, or simply smoking a bowl, a good podcast can be a great companion.

As long-format content is concerned, podcasts offer a level of versatility that video and print cannot. This gives podcasts a leg up for potentially tedious and time-consuming hands-on activities—especially trimming your cannabis harvest or pruning the plants.

Even better, podcasts have become a safe space for people wishing to share news and information, or to discuss topics pertaining to all things cannabis. There are so many wonderful creatives in the cannabis space who take advantage of this medium to deliver exciting content.

Below are a few cannabis podcasts worth listening to.
