Talking Pot Heads

Welcome back for another episode of Talking Pot Heads!

We're Ashleen and Rileigh, known together as the Chronic Gals, and on this show, we're empowering budtenders with crucial knowledge on cannabis science and sales.

On episode three, we zero in on the essential workings of the endocannabinoid system and its role in achieving homeostasis through the interaction with cannabinoids like THC and CBD. Highlighting the importance of a comprehensive understanding of cannabis’s active compounds, including cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids, the discussion elucidates their synergistic relationship known as the Entourage Effect.

Featuring insights from industry veterans such as budtender Shannon Blake and scientists Dr. Riley Kirk and Dr. Codi Peterson, the conversation navigates the complex effects of cannabis usage, underscoring the budtender’s pivotal position in guiding consumers.

Additionally, stories shared via the Budtender Buzz Line provide a glimpse into the dynamic dispensary environment, emphasizing the significance of customer service skills.

Tailored to engage and educate, the episode covers 'cannabis science for budtenders,' 'understanding the endocannabinoid system,' 'benefits of cannabinoids and terpenes,' and 'optimizing dispensary customer service,' which makes it a valuable tool for both the novice and experienced budtenders navigating the rapidly evolving cannabis landscape.
