The Endocannabinoid System: Your Body's Master Conductor
The endocannabinoid system might be the most important bodily system you've never heard of. Discovered only in the 1980s, this master operating system oversees all other functions in your body, yet it's often reduced to a single paragraph in medical textbooks. Why is something so crucial kept so quiet?
In this illuminating episode, we hold up a freshly harvested, sun-grown hemp cola to examine the profound difference between hemp and marijuana. While they share the same plant family, hemp contains 0.3% THC or less, offering all the medicinal benefits without the high. We explore how this misunderstood plant speaks directly to your endocannabinoid system, creating balance rather than intoxication.
We dive deep into the practical applications of hemp, from harvesting to processing. Learn how to properly dry your buds, make tinctures, infuse oils, and incorporate this versatile plant medicine into your daily wellness routine. We also discover chicory as another powerful plant ally with deep roots and cleansing properties—a perfect companion to hemp.
Perhaps most fascinating is our exploration of how cannabis potentially influences all chakra systems, suggesting this plant works on multiple levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. This connection between our endocannabinoid system and energy centers reveals why hemp feels so balancing to many users.
Whether you're a cannabis enthusiast or simply curious about holistic wellness, this episode offers practical knowledge and spiritual insights about a plant that's been misunderstood for far too long. Join us in reclaiming this powerful ally and discovering how it might support your journey toward balanced wellbeing.

Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:Mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:And this is good and we're ready to go live. Yay Woo-hoo, back at it again. Sunshine and Bubbles Podcast number 19. Ow, ow, hey.
Speaker 1:All the way up.
Speaker 2:Feels so good.
Speaker 1:Look at that guy, Look at this girl. I should say Bodacious beauty.
Speaker 2:Oh, she done so well. Oh, all of her beautiful buds. This, my friends, is a cola. I'm going to say like a pretty big one at that, I can't even put my hand, my fingers around it. I'm going to say like a pretty big one at that, I can't even put my fingers around it. Some girth to her. Yeah, she's got some girth. She's got some big, beautiful, nice, bodacious buds. I mean, I feel like even on the video it just never really does it justice. But the trichomes on there, the juicy, dripping cannabinoid fever that's just oozing from her freshly harvested sun-grown organic from our DNA hemp farm. And she's happy to be here.
Speaker 1:She wants to pop tickets.
Speaker 2:So I know it might look like it, it definitely smells like it, it smokes like it, you use it just like it. But it's not it. It's hemp, marijuana's super sweet cousin, and marijuana being the Twisted's cousin, the Twisted's sister cousin, the twisted sister All part of the same cannabis sativa plant family, just different seeds, and I know sometimes that's a head scratcher. You're like, wait a minute, what it looks like? It has all the same qualities Medicinally, it does all the same stuff, just not the high associated with this plant. So I just really want to make it so abundantly clear that this bodacious bud is just as awesome and useful as its counterpart to help you live your best life. Amen.
Speaker 1:Right, yes, high CBD, low THC, but still lots of other cannabinoids in there the CBG, cbda, cbdv, cbdv, cbdn and so on and so forth.
Speaker 2:There's over a hundred yeah, you know, they want to say like 113 and counting different cannabinoids and THC is just one of them and hemp has 0.3% of that. That is what the Department of Agriculture and the USDA has determined. What differentiates hemp between marijuana, between marijuana?
Speaker 1:and that is the THC or Delta 9 percentage in which we are allowed to grow 0.3% or less, less than 1%.
Speaker 2:So I feel like you could smoke our whole field and not get high.
Speaker 1:But you're going to feel pretty darn good, but you're going to be elevated.
Speaker 2:I'm saying it's a vibe, not a high yes. So I'm still feeling chill, I'm still feeling focused, I'm still feeling energized, I'm still feeling present and at ease. Maybe I don't feel the pain in my shoulder as much. I'm just not getting. I can still go on about my business. Yes, more balance.
Speaker 1:less stress, yes, stress less. And.
Speaker 2:Balance. Less stress yes, less stress. And hemp is our plant ally. She can do all those things. She just doesn't mess you up or green out or cause some of those undesirable effects which people stray away from the plant from. So I feel like, don't lump hemp in with marijuana. Yes, they are both still cannabis and they both can still help you when used with appropriate dosing. But she is much more approachable, you know, for children, for elderly, for present-day age people. She meets you right where you're at because she speaks to your endocannabinoid system, and that's what I want to talk about today. Did we even put that in any of the schedule? I feel like we have a whole long day of a show today.
Speaker 2:Endocannabinoid system, you know. Let's just maybe touch on it here. I don't. I feel like we have resources and things that we really wanted to talk about, but I feel like people need to know, okay, people need to know about your endocannabinoid system. And for those of you watching that don't know what an endocannabinoid system is, please, please, please, for the love of God and understanding his mystical, magical, merious, awesome ways and just a demonstration of how much he loves us because he gave us this plant, sun-grown, organic goodness, please, it's a new system, so it was just recently discovered. Turns out back in the 40s, right, I'm sorry, 19,. So not even the 40s, I'm sorry. 1980-ant was when the discovery of your cannabinoid receptors inside of your body came to light. So, jeez, I mean I feel like it was sooner, but that's when they really started delving into the research and understanding the interworkings and the cannabinoid system. I mean, I was born in 87. So this is post me, yeah, and I'm 37. And I just turned 38.
Speaker 1:Lucky number 38. Feeling great turned 38. Lucky number 38. You leveled up to 38. I did.
Speaker 2:But anywho. So it's just kind of putting that in the time place, like, even since I've been around this earth, it was the discovery of the endocannabinoid system, which is still brand new. I mean coincidence? Yeah, I think not. I want to call Bullologna on this. I feel like they knew about this for a long time I do too.
Speaker 1:I don't know.
Speaker 2:Because when I was doing my, when I obtained my master's degree the American College of Health Care Science, I had to delve into this human anatomy and physiology book. Oh my gosh, you guys, when I was reading this book I was like it was like another language. Seriously, like read a sentence of this, read, read a sentence of it. It was crazy, but I just want to like put to light on page 424. You can't make this up. They talked about endocannabinoids and with the endocannabinoid system. And look at how small that is. It is literally a paragraph. And from all my research they're saying endocannabinoid system is your master conductor operating system that oversees all your other operational systems.
Speaker 1:That's not that important.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just a paragraph, right? Yeah, just a paragraph.
Speaker 1:We'll put it in just to humor them.
Speaker 2:Just as there are natural opiate neurotransmitters in the brain, our brains make endocannabinoids that act the same receptors as, like THC, the active ingredient marijuana. Their receptors, the cannabinoid receptors, are the most common G-protein coupled receptors in the brain. Like the gastro-transmitters, the endocannabinoids are lipid-soluble and are synthesized on demand rather than stored and released from the vesicles, whatever that is so hot and fresh that they're released on demand. Yeah, so your body makes them on demand, just kind of think, and or is stored and is released, released on demand. So you have to have that storage and you're getting that from natural fresh, anywho.
Speaker 2:But it just happens that this natural fresh bud is super concentrated with phyto cannabinoids. So endocannabinoids are the ones that your body makes. Your body makes these guys Like within endo, right, yeah, endo within within your body. You have a whole endocannabinoid system. These are phyto cannabinoids, which is plant cannabinoids derived from nature, and I mean crazy that this plant speaks to our body, our systems, just like all the other plants that we've been learning about and sharing, speak to all different bodily systems and chakras energetically as well. So everything's energy Okay, start, like nitric oxide. They are thought to be involved in learning and memory. We are only beginning to understand the many other processes these neurotransmitters may be involved in, which include neuronal development, controlling appetite and suppressing nausea. So that's what the little paragraph that is in the human anatomy and physiology book 40 years to get a paragraph.
Speaker 1:40 years, almost 40 years to get a paragraph. I wonder how we get a page Deccan.
Speaker 2:I'm still like this is a brain buster. Yeah, what's going on? I'm so happy that we've trusted our intuition over the years and then just took being at health, our own health advocates, and took matters into our own hands to feel, to decide what feels good to us, and then, you know, worked out the access dilemma here and made sure that we had reliable, trustworthy sources. I feel like that's kind of the motor behind the farm is to know where our food and medicine comes from. And I feel like once you start going down this rabbit hole, friends, you can't really overthink it too much because it's not our plan one day at a time and cast all your worries and cares onto him, like he has directed us so graciously in his good word, the Bible, which I challenge everyone out there to read two or three minutes of. That's what the pastor did this past week. I know topic switch but just saying, yeah, I don't know, they're all pretty much fine.
Speaker 2:Two or three minutes in his word, and it'll all lead back to love. And I just love cannabis and I couldn't be more excited to share it.
Speaker 1:I mean with our faith. I'll speak for myself. God gave us this right. Why wouldn't he want us to use this beautiful plant, just like all the other ones he always provides? So the creator.
Speaker 2:Yes, and I think it's like man. You know the humans men sin nature, you know, dating back to Adam and Eve, when God did make a perfect world. He made a utopia and man managed to mess it up, mess it up Until Jesus came to die on the cross for our salvation. There was a very light and dark and there was no forgiveness. But we are forgiven because of the New Testament, but anyways men also mess up cannabis, and they keep messing it up.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, so leave it to one man to kind of try to right these wrongs. But my goodness, I mean it is. I feel like people are getting unwanted experiences with this plant when they start adding unnatural things like like not natural fertilizers and pesticides and other additives the fact that doesn't even see the sun.
Speaker 1:Like no offense to indoor girls, but I like to feel the sun. I know she does too yeah, offense to indoor girls.
Speaker 2:I'm sorry, like I'm yeah, like okay, no, hey.
Speaker 1:Ray, time and place for everybody.
Speaker 2:Yeah, time and place for everybody Indoor grows really make me wonder, because I feel like you open up a whole other can of worms with them.
Speaker 1:You're going to recreate nature and you can't.
Speaker 2:She's just best doing her own. Super sweet awesome work.
Speaker 1:Oh my God.
Speaker 2:That's where huge advocates to legalize Wisconsin yes, free the flower, because people should be able to grow this plant, no matter the potency, and let it be free inside and experiment and play and create all on your own, and not be told no to what the good Lord has given us. So let's take back the power, take back the plant. Decriminalize nature yeah. Deschedule, not reschedule. Thatriminalize nature yeah. And deschedule, not reschedule. That won't do it justice.
Speaker 1:No, now you're just putting more rules on top of rules as a way of control, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I feel like people have been taking small steps to take back the power, take back the plant.
Speaker 1:They need to educate themselves. If you're going to do anything, educate yourself.
Speaker 2:As we're doing our due diligence to educate ourselves by working in the field up close and personal. I have a deep-rooted and loving relationship with this plant Deep-rooted, deep-rooted. She does have some really deep roots and long tap roots, and so that plays to—and I feel like, because it speaks to my root chakra, and although you know I'm very fiery two fire signs in the air. I feel like I still always have that the, the calmness, the, the peace that surpasses all understanding. Sometimes I can actually give myself grace on that too, because, let's be honest, I'm always so peaceful.
Speaker 1:That's why we have cannabis. Yes, stinks that job. Yes, fights the noise.
Speaker 2:And I feel like, really, though, a plant that's so controversial and people want to talk about and learn about and know she is not the end-all be-all learn about and know she is not the end-all be-all and there's a lot of free flower there, so to speak, that nature is providing right now, in this very instance, as we come up to autumn, equinox here, because autumn, or fall, is the time to harvest, it's the time to reap all of your wonderful sowing that you've done all summer. Yes, so I feel like, with that, coming going outside in nature and becoming in touch and tune and even having a relationship maybe not with cannabis, because access is a problem, although this is totally legal. Hemp is legal in all 50 states and anybody can really grow it. If you're not a felon, you just have to pass a background check and it's free to grow.
Speaker 2:So I think we've come leaps and bounds with freeing the flower, and sometimes I have to remind us of that right, because all these injustices and criminalization and things that do not seem fair, sometimes you just have to step back and just focus on what is in your control and that is your mind, and so I think the good Lord has blessed us with a wonderful opportunity to rewrite the narrative and shift our perspective on how we view this hemp plant, which has growing accessibility. And maybe it's take the high away, take that one cannabinoid to a minimum and really hear what else she has to offer, experience, what else she has to offer, because it's a whole world out there of wellness and especially with so many different ways to consume too different onsets, durations, different efficacy. But I feel like you know, really getting in there and just getting after it is your best bet.
Speaker 1:Don't be scared, first and foremost.
Speaker 2:Don't be scared.
Speaker 1:Take the fear away. There's nothing to be scared of. Sound like flowers.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there's nothing to—faith over fear. There is nothing to fear here, and I feel like if—we've just been gifted a wonderful opportunity to create and explore with a girl that's just so beautiful and so giving and so rooted and misunderstood and I feel like I can relate to that a lot. Right, like she's misunderstood, so are people, so am I. I'm not perfect. I know that she is forgiven, and so, here in this moment, we are going to ho'opononono it with I love you, I'm sorry, with I love you, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please forgive me. Thank you, yes, all is forgiven, all is forgiven. I think she forgives me. You know what she's in the present moment. That's what it's all about to achieve the balance she's like let it go, let the past go.
Speaker 1:Be here with me now Flips good, little legs, little arms.
Speaker 2:It almost sometimes reminds me of the helix too. Once you trim it, it really reminds me of the helix, but she's like let the past go. Be with me here right now.
Speaker 1:Yes, I couldn't be more fortunate and grateful for the fact that we can grow 0.3%. We'll take it.
Speaker 2:Yes, and we are going to keep creating and advocating with all of our allies. Yes, and make something beautiful. Get out of our own allies. Yes, and make something beautiful, get out of our own way. Yes, it's like, who do we have to talk to to get a page written? Do?
Speaker 1:we want to show them different On page 424.
Speaker 2:Like come on Can we get on 425? For real, yeah, can we get another page from our master operating system, the endocrinoid system? Google it, please. All right, sunshine, yeah.
Speaker 1:So this is cannabis as well. Can you tell? They look a little different, Both high CBD varieties. However, this one has these little stacks here, which means it's a man, it's a male, it's a boy and unfortunately here on the farm we don't really care for the boys because they pollinate our sweet flower buds, which is a beautiful thing, because then you'll get seeds. But if you have seeds, then your cannabinoid rates usually are a little lower. So we want maximum cannabinoids, so we dehead the males. Good news is waste, not want, not. You utilize, which is our word, our mantra. We waste nothing. We're going to try juicing these leaves right here. I know chlorophyll, higher amounts of chlorophyll, vitamins, nutrients. I was curious. Do you think that there's any cannabinoids in here?
Speaker 2:I don't. I think there might be very trace amounts, but I think it's more about the nutrition, the narrative benefit in the male plants.
Speaker 1:This is where the cannabinoids are right the plant's natural pest defense to keep it alive, keep it healthy.
Speaker 2:The trichomes right and that's from. The flowers are from the trichomes and the pistils.
Speaker 1:So no trichomes here, no pistils, no flower buds, just these little pound sacks, but still a nutritional powerhouse. So we'll let you know how that juicing goes. Yes, and even in salads too. Yeah, I feel like we ate it. It was a little bitter, but good for your liver probably.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, just kind of like our plant ally today Should we introduce our friend?
Speaker 1:This is Tickery. I'm so glad she came out to play. So is Burr. Burr is a big burr, so Tickery is after research. You've probably seen it on the side of the road growing in gravel a lot of the time. This is where I see it, roadside, roadside for sure it's got these pretty blue. They're actually kind of fading, but blue flowers.
Speaker 2:You've seen it out there.
Speaker 1:They're everywhere. They're very tough. It was hard to harvest almost Deep roots yes, with this baby as well. Very deep roots, very, very similar to dandelions. So really good for your liver. Great tonic, bitter tonic. It's a cooling cleansing, so it's got cooling properties to it as well. Anti-inflammatory, anti Accident, accident Grounding as well. It can help with your gout and bring your balance, especially to your blood sugar.
Speaker 2:Which is crazy, because I feel like she does the same thing. So is she a phytoocannabinoid? Still, we just don't know it yet, because we don't really know much yet. Yet. Yet Chickery everywhere right now. I feel like you see, dandelion, like you said.
Speaker 1:In the spring the dandelions, and then now come fall, equinox, we're getting the chicory. One more chance to clean our systems for the hibernation For the long winter ahead. Chicorium Intipus, latin word yes. Name Aster family.
Speaker 2:So I feel like those in the aster family. I feel like a decent generalization is plants in the aster family, the ones that look like the daisies or the sunflowers or the dandelions they all have like similar botany about them Are really good for a tonic, a digestion. It's a purifier, a cleanser.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I feel like it's for the soil and our bodies.
Speaker 2:Whoa, yeah, for the soil too. Yeah, and that's because of their deep roots, so it kind of helps loosen things up there. It's a bioaccumulator, I think most you know you grow, you thrive where you're planted, so most of these plants are cleaning the soil, and that's what this baby is really good for too Cleaning the soil. But utilize.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, the flowers, the leaves and the roots, All of it, All of it.
Speaker 2:Put it in a tea and drink it. Let it steep for a couple 10 minutes Don't mind if we do and purify your system.
Speaker 1:Tonify.
Speaker 2:Which is strengthening too Tonify. That is strengthening too Tonify. That's a tonic, you know, not only is it a purifier, but it's a strengthener as well. It helps tighten up those tissues.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's like lifting weights, right you're, you're tonifying your muscles and you're sweating, so you're getting my uh nasty out, I feel like you need to cheers okay, there we go, cheers to the beautiful chicory.
Speaker 2:It does taste really tea that you had fresh prepared for us as you harvested these out here on the farm. How lovely that she provides. Yeah, once again, because I feel like energetically it symbolizes strength and resilience, because it's deep roots and the endurance of the plant, but also it's said to be a remedy to help the person move from selfish love to a selfless nurturing love and release feelings of self-pity, which I feel like is interesting too, especially coming on now with the seasonality and the year or the time of the Libra, coming from Taurus, right. Virgo oh, excuse me, virgo, which is a lover, right, and then now moving on to Libra. I just feel like how that all kind of intertwines with each other. There's definitely something to be said there.
Speaker 1:I see where you're going. The balance, yeah, Because it says it could be a coffee replacement, so you think it'd give you energy, but it also can be a sedative. So it's like which way are we going with this?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then with Libra being representing the scales, chicory is an excellent plant ally to bring out balance and give you like a calming effect which just speaks directly to the sedative relaxant. And you know your antis, I feel like too with the protection of it.
Speaker 1:Wow, Tone it, cleanse it and protect it.
Speaker 2:Tone it, cleanse it and protect it. I feel like she's a wonder. Yeah, I'm so happy how. I feel like she's a wonder. Yeah, I'm so happy. I wonder why.
Speaker 1:How we're just learning about this now.
Speaker 2:How many of you have used chicory in a tea First time? Honestly, this is well. Also, I feel like that's another cheers.
Speaker 1:We have arrived yeah baby, I love this.
Speaker 2:I feel like it really kind of like challenges us to get in tune with the nature and what's out there, with the wildcrafting. So I love that we're doing this, because I've taken this for advantage so many times. It's a beautiful flower. Yes, I love seeing them roadside, but I never even thought to make a tea with them. You could also tincture it right too, and use Everclear or 80% to 90% ethanol alcohol to extract all these properties in there and make a stronger medicine for in the winter months, when you still need a little extra tonification and purification to resilience Like edibly right?
Speaker 2:Yes, you could also probably do oil topically topically, I love that Improve overall gut function and the inulin can slow down glucose absorption, helping to prevent blood sugar spikes and potentially aiding in blood sugar control. And inulin act as a prebiotic, feeding beneficial bacteria in the gut and promoting a healthy microbiome, relieve digestion constipation, all of it. And I like again, I love the energetic, the cooling, detoxifying, grounding, the calming. As part of the Bach flower remedy, which is like the OG godfather of herbs, bach is used to help individuals exhibit a needy, possessive or emotionally controlling type of love.
Speaker 2:So isn't that, as humans and sin nature is kind of how we do we feel the need to know, to control, to hang on to our fears and worries and not let that shit go, and this kind of helps you break on through the other side. And who doesn't have access to this, especially here in Northwestern America? I feel like it's very plentiful, it's bountiful. We don't have to worry about red tape and extra licensing and testing and all of the things that we have to do here at DNA Hemp on the daily. But I feel like wow, wow, wow, like knowing what I know now, like I feel like hemp is wonderful, but again a gateway to holistic healing how wonderful is that and spiritually it's rooted in folklore, symbolism and its natural properties.
Speaker 2:I mean for crying out loud here in this book that I love to use as a reference and also, you know, use at the American College of Healthcare Sciences was the Natural Standard and this book is rooted in science. This is all you know, tested in the lab from standardized tests and controls. And this Chicorium intubus says, you know, chicory was cultivated as early as 5,000 years ago by Egyptians as a medicinal plant. And speaking of juicing, you can juice this baby as a remedy for headaches or a vegetable, you know, just eating it straight up, like cooking it down like an asparagus spear or something, yeah, or you know, in salads boil the root.
Speaker 1:It's like parsnips, yeah. Oh, salads too, yeah, and just add a little flair. The flowers, edible flowers. We're totally into edible flowers, but yeah, yes, yes, roadside edible flowers. I, I love this, me too.
Speaker 2:And it's something that's just taken for granted, something that's here and that is free and wild, and I just feel like that energy, like I always just think of, like what it would look like when cannabis is legal for DNA hemp. You know what are we going to do?
Speaker 1:different Source, different seeds.
Speaker 2:Yeah, source different seeds, more seeds I source more seats, I should say but still gonna be the same hustle.
Speaker 2:You know we're still gonna be like growing it, driving it, shucking and bucking it, having to sell it. But the demand I feel like the supply. Hopefully the supply can meet the demand. Yes, right now we got a big old supply of CBD but not a ton of demand, which is super sad to think because you know, if people only knew yeah, people only know. We shouldn't be able to keep this stuff out of track, but that's not how history is written. Be here now Trailblazing. Good news is we have it. It's available for you DNAhempllccom. Go check out our natural pharmacy. We use other herbs in there too. So we were kind of all leading up to this sweet darling where we just recently spoke with the owner of Good Vibes CBD and Wellness in Richfield, wisconsin. She is a nurse and has been, for the last I think, 15 plus I don't know if it's 18, 19, or maybe it's 20 by now A substantial amount of time, a substantial amount of experience and she she being Katie Love you, katie Share her patience.
Speaker 2:Thanks for wanting natural remedies and I feel like on the low she's okay and that's what turned her on to cannabis and the healing potential and had her own experience and journey. I'd love to have her on the show so she could share that with us, but she's putting in the good work and the brick and mortar there and online as well, and she proudly sells our products, this being one of them. We just hooked her up with some c, some CBD flour, so she could create and make her own tea blends and offer that at the store. How lovely.
Speaker 1:That's so lovely and, yes, I can't remember her name, but her sweet helper there. Do you remember her name when you went there last time? Honestly, I just call her gorgeous. But we will. Yes, gorgeous she was and is, but she worked in a pharmacy. Yes, gorgeous she was and is, but she worked in a pharmacy, so she was very knowledgeable a lot of things as well. So if you are looking for you know textbook kind of information, like not just boo-boo, go there good vibes, they're very, very knowledgeable and passionate.
Speaker 2:Yes, and I feel like they're. They're wanting that interaction and people to go through the door.
Speaker 1:It proves that alternatives are just as important as well as mainstream medicine.
Speaker 2:I know she did not want to be like your typical head chef. She's like oh no, I want people to feel like they're walking into a pharmacy of sorts of the natural kind. So I know she explores a lot of avenues of alternative wellness, and mushrooms can be found on her shelves as well, both local and national brands and I know she's super into the crystals too, so she's got some of those there too to aid people on their healing journey, because they're all just tools in our toolkit.
Speaker 1:But super groovy chick, totally part of our high-budget drive. We love you, Kreek.
Speaker 2:And she asks the good questions, like I feel like I just spoke to her today about COAs, which are a certificate of analysis. All flower samples have to be sent into a third-party lab to verify its efficacy and THC delta-9 percentages, to make sure you're compliant with your classifications of genus and species, anyhow, sorry. So she had questions and she's like asking the good questions, as like a really good consumer should, and to know. You know where is it being sourced, why this lab over the other, why this lab over the other? You know you really you want to be able to trust the process, but no buts Trust the process, trust and do your research. And do your research so you can become educated on what you're choosing and your choices that you're making, because they're all choices and you've got lots of them and that is the freedom of our great nation, america, baby. Yes, woo, I love it, me too. But I was going to ask this peace plan.
Speaker 1:Yes, because we're going to celebrate National Day of Peace this weekend. Yay, that sounds so cool.
Speaker 2:Wow, I wonder. I want to be part of the celebration Me too. What does the International Peace?
Speaker 1:Day look like? I don't even know. I just saw it on the calendar. But I'm ready to celebrate.
Speaker 2:I am too, could you imagine.
Speaker 1:where there's all peace In a crystal pipe and smoke it and let there be peace on Earth, at least.
Speaker 2:Peace of eye, peace within your soul, peace of knowing that you don't have to be searching and you are not lost and there is nothing to fear. Peace knowing that you are so loved and chosen and actually royalty at the throne that is what gives me peace, and if cannabis can take you there, I feel like that also. You know the spirituality of plants. She's very powerful. She's got all that energy around it and with the different colors and terpenes and cannabinoids and all these different synchronicities that are happening within this plant, she can really help elevate your mindset and I think she works with the divine, with your crown chakra, opening up all of. I feel like oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa Okay so cannabinoids speak to all your operating systems.
Speaker 2:Right, it's the master conductor, so you can only make the inference that the cannabinoids also speak to all your chakras. Oh, yeah, right, yeah, get all the wheels turning. I feel like we knew this, but I feel like just speaking it into existence, because have we talked about this before, not on here?
Speaker 1:I don't believe.
Speaker 2:Are we co-creating here a live ether vision? Can you feel that?
Speaker 1:Can you feel that, friends?
Speaker 2:Cannabis gets all the chakras moving. If you don't know what chakras are, too, I feel like it's just an easy way to understand your body energetically. So I mean, I feel like people get intimidated by it. It's like, oh, chakras, oh I don't know, but that's, you know. That's why cannabis speaks to all of them.
Speaker 1:Can I tell them my one Reiki experience, when my chakra's like brr?
Speaker 2:brr. Yes, please. Like at the fair Because we were elevated. Yeah, oh man, totally she was wide. I was like, oh my, her chakra was wide. Well, because we might have eaten a gummy before.
Speaker 1:Yeah, we totally did. Sorry, just putting it out there. Yes, yes, it's about the fair. You know, you get the big mallet and you slam the little thing, the little well, now it's lights, but it used to be like a little thing and ring the bell and you're super strong. Well, that's what my chakras were doing. They're like brr, brr, brr For our Reiki meditation, I think it was. Yes, Right.
Speaker 2:No, that was for the right. Yes, I'm sorry. Yes, I got the ring key certification and we, she guided us into the meditation after we became attuned with this universal love which is reiki. And do you feel like in that moment, all your chak, you got the visual, loud and clear, of the, from the root to the crown, the chakras were Back down, the energy centers were a spin it, yeah, did you feel that? Yes, like in your soul, yes, it was wild.
Speaker 2:So we left there like levitating. I feel like we had unlocked a new level of consciousness that day where we knew that it wasn't just us.
Speaker 1:Yes, Out there and it connected so many dots literally. You know centers but just like whoa, yeah, it's all connected.
Speaker 2:And then the vortex, and that's what I feel like cannabis does. Yeah, it's all connected. And then the vortex, and that's what I feel like cannabis does. Yeah, because I feel like we've played with like energy centers before with cannabis, and like we've had strains. I feel like we didn't even know what chakras were until what was it year two of growing and we had six or seven different strains and we needed to color code them in the field. We're like well, how do we organize all these different strains? Right, like we got to keep stay organized with this. Yes, um, so we know, because we have the genetics and we needed a separate testing for, you know, compliance and also sellability. So we intuitively use the names and the properties and assigned a color to them. Lo and behold, at the end of the season, we thought we had the rainbow. We're like look, we have the rainbow. Rangy Bear was represented with red, bordeaux and orange peel, ultraviolet like Berry blossom. Oh, it was awesome. And so we went on the rainbow train for a hot minute.
Speaker 1:Which they all lined up like ironically right, like with the color we're like well, yeah, that makes total sense.
Speaker 2:But I feel like now it's just coming to me. So, okay, so the rainbow train, we rode the rainbow train. We're like come on, ride the train. Yeah, that was fun and we started, that was fun. That was fun and it wasn't until a sweet little angel and we had him laid out and we had fun displaying it and it was a whole vibe.
Speaker 2:But someone was like, oh, it's like the chakra colors and we were like what, how did we miss that? Because I feel like then it was like the Pahurara, that Reiki time, yeah, where we were learning about chakras and energy centers and Reiki and how it all kind of came to be. And then we were like, whoa, we grew the chakra Strange. And then it was like a whole other level up and the fact that it took us now five years for me I'll just speak for myself, I'm sorry, I didn't really care. Like I know, cannabis speaks to the. It's the master conductor. It speaks to all your operating systems, but it also speaks to all your energy centers, which I'm going to have to do a little bit more dwelling in because I nerd out on this. I mean, like some people nerd out on terpenes and cannabinoids and you know the different strains.
Speaker 1:I know people. What do you call it?
Speaker 2:when you I forget what that teacher had said Would you an organoleptic experience where you use all your senses and some people get down on that, but I get down on energetics because it all relates back to the doctrine of signatures and intuition and trust and the process. I'm so pumped, I feel like you know how Jane Holly Stevens from Four Elements, the goddess, the mother, goddess of herbs, in my eyes I feel like she is, she is.
Speaker 1:So gentle and calm.
Speaker 2:That we met at the herbal conference the Midwest Women at Herbal Conference. We adopted her she adopted.
Speaker 1:We adopted each other other.
Speaker 2:It was a mutual connection because our vibe talk about vibe attracting our child. We're like zinc, we're like hi.
Speaker 1:I love you take one of everything please.
Speaker 2:And then we like text her Jane what is this.
Speaker 2:What is this? But she wrote a book on celestial moon cycles and chakras and how they relate to herbs and even created a calendar with chakras and moon cycles and herbs and when to plant and when to reap and when to sow, when to plant and when to know. It's just a wealth of knowledge and that's over 40 years of experience that she just, you know, downloaded onto paper for us to revisit and reference at any time. But I would love to speak with her about cannabis and the chakra system and just kind of nerd out on that.
Speaker 1:Jane, we're coming for you. Yeah, let's do it. Oh my gosh, this was kind of the time last year. Yeah, I went to visit her.
Speaker 2:Yes, I feel like we're due when she needs help, before the winter, the winterization, but that was also when she had her hip and now she has the hip replaced, so there is no stopping this woman. She's like shouting. I'm just kidding.
Speaker 1:Who doesn't want a helping hand? We do need to go visit her. It's more fun with a friend. We know that Absolutely.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. I'm here for it. She's a force Now. She's going to call us tomorrow, please do yes, it's going to be great. Oh, I love it. So we talked about a lot with hemp versus marijuana. We talked about the endocannabinoid system, touched on that, which I'm really happy about, chakras, and then the chakra energy systems.
Speaker 1:Love you, tracy. Thank you, that was so amazing From.
Speaker 2:Spiritual Awakening and Slinger. She is just, and she was the one who taught me too, I feel like one of the values or lessons that really resonated with me. Well, she was like you should do it, ashley, like you could do. What did she? What did she do the do Reiki on people, you know, give people Reiki and and I'm like, oh my gosh, because I feel like when we were practicing the Reiki in the quiet room and everyone's like hands are over, you're like feeling the energy. I was like ha and everyone was like da and I freaked everyone out.
Speaker 1:Energy burst, yeah, it was like an energy burst.
Speaker 2:It was like whoa, I couldn't help it, I couldn't. But anyway. So I was like oh, tracy, I have no business in a quiet room trying to stay quiet. And you know it, give an energy transfer in that regard, because that was what I had. It can conceptualize it as it had to be quiet, it had to be. And she goes oh girl, she's like then you wouldn't get the clients that wanted the quiet, peaceful, relaxing place. You would get the people that wanted that energy bolts from you. And I was like you're right. So I feel like in that moment, in that time, she gave me such a permission or allowance to just be myself and know that's exactly where I need to be. Yeah, and I don't know why I needed to hear it from a sister, but I heard it from a sister and it changed my world.
Speaker 1:I would like to say similar for myself as well. Like she, just like don't take yourself too seriously is like the message right.
Speaker 2:And the whole Reiki just for today, Like she was just—she's real good and what I also loved about you know some people, you know the anti-Christ is out there, right Like it is the devil trying to do its work. There's people that do not believe in Jesus and that do not know that God exists, or maybe they just don't know, or maybe they make that choice. That could be. You know, let's talk about revelations, the anti-Christ coming or is here. The anti-Christ is here, working against you. I just loved that, you know, and on our Sunshine and Bubbles show we're going to talk about Jesus because he is an integrated part of our life and we are vibing, attracting our tribing, and we're worshipers and cannabis crusaders on a mission. Anyhow, amen. I love that she didn't have that Christ consciousness. I feel like she really met us where we were at and it was not with all of this. So I feel like maybe there's something a lesson to be learned. Maybe I should take a page out of her book.
Speaker 1:There's always lessons in the blessings.
Speaker 2:Right though. Yeah, I just like, because I feel like you know some people want to tiptoe around it like spirit divine source. I just feel like Reiki was just on an even playing field where it was just kind of like we're not going to like throw Jesus in your face and talk, you know, talk to you about, because Jesus is love, right. I just feel like it was put, love was put in an approachable way that really left the door open for spirituality and to pave your own path, agreed.
Speaker 1:Yes, yeah, very well put. I like that, mm-hmm.
Speaker 2:Can we plug this guy in? Is there a way to do it? Because it's the battery is going down. Even if you need to get up, I will but hurry, but run, sunshine, run. I'll be back, I'll hold the show down and tell you, talking about meeting people, wear a hat.
Speaker 2:I think really that's what cannabis can do, is really just meet you where you're at and so come into it with an open mind, and just for today, you know, do not be angry. Just for today, be kind to all living things. Just for today, give hemp a try, because you don't have to worry about psychoactive effects and getting high. But if you need help, it is here for it. It is here for you Also, too. It is a proactive approach to help. So I feel like so now, western medicine is a reactive approach to help. Where you get a problem, you treat and diagnose, treat, diagnose, cure. I really feel like cannabis is proactive in the sense that it's not a reactive medicine. If you use it consistently throughout your life, you will age well. It's kind of like vitality in a plant and you maybe won't have so many health problems down the road if you choose to utilize it in the here and the now.
Speaker 1:Do-hmm.
Speaker 2:Do you plug it in? This is charged, right? Yes, okay, because otherwise I have to unplug something else. You can do it? Yes, you can. You can do it. Ruby Doobie wants to say hello.
Speaker 2:She's my little chihuahua. I just love her. She had a bath last night oh, because she rolled in some fangs and she smelled terrible. She oh, because she rolled in some fangs and she smelled terrible. She sleeps with Nevaeh and she was snuggling with me. I was like I can't, ruby, I love you, but, girl, you stink, but not anymore. And now she smells like Moroccan oil. So I was like just put a little bit of Moroccan oil shampoo on her, it's going to be fine. And then I have this little like brush that dries her, because she gets really cold when she's wet, even when it doesn't matter. She's just got really not much meat on her bones. So I gave her a nice dry. Now she's just happy as a clam.
Speaker 2:But Ruby Doobie gets so much love and attention, no matter where she goes. She is a showstopper, seriously. They're like oh, my gosh, what kind of dog is she? How old is she? Is she gonna get any bigger? Once? I'm like no, she's 11, like this is as big as she's gonna get there, like oh.
Speaker 2:And then the fact that she's so chill and calm and she's not like a big yupper, she's, she's really just. She's a little darling, but I mean she also has a lot of balance. She's super chill and that's just. I feel like maybe it's the CBD pet oil I put on her food daily, but I want to say that just is helping her age gracefully, because it keeps her coat shiny and her joints really limber and working. But she's always been super pretty chill in our family. But so is our other dog too.
Speaker 2:So I think you know, call it the owner, call it the environment, nature, nurture what have you? People just love her. She brightens up so many days. That's why I'm like I know she's not a service dog technically, but I'm still gonna try to bring her with me wherever I go, because she just brings joy, and why not want to spread that joy? She? Because she just brings joy, and why not want to spread that joy? She's so little too. It's not like she's hindering anyone, it's not like she's aggressive or intimidating. I would never want to step in a room and have that be the vibe, but she has good vibes all around and I just love spreading the love with my sweet real-day-dil-day.
Speaker 1:Do you want to hold her? I would, I would love to. I know she loves you, but I'll take some snow, so I'm going to hold my crystal rock.
Speaker 2:This is petrified mud here and it glows in the dark. So it's pretty sweet. These parts, when you use a UV light, will glow. And this is also another very big rooting stone. I just love it and it's simple and plentiful, all in North America. I also think we should smudge too. Smudge the scene Because in sake of Ho'oponohono, we just got to make sure Cleanse, which I feel like even smudging. People are like what in tarnation, at least where we live in Wisconsin. I don't know if it's bloom where you're planted, but I think people are like what the heck it makes my? The smell hurts my head, but back in the day Native Americans used to use sage, which composes a lot of the smudge sticks that you see out there. It actually purifies the air and gets rid of any bacteria in the air, and the smell alone can cleanse the energy and be uplifting in the mood.
Speaker 1:So that's why our blend also has sage in there.
Speaker 2:Mm-hmm, I think it's just wonderful, it's such a sage, such a versatile plant.
Speaker 2:You could make your own smudge sticks if you grew it. Hey, speaking of which, we've got to do that, and there's mullion leaves out there. I know Not only the flowers, but definitely the leaves. We've got to go get them and I want to roll them up. I've seen Ina from Earth Vibe. She had her kids doing that. What a wonderful activity for them to connect because they're fuzzy and soft. And then just roll them up and wrap them up and you'd have your own self-made smudge Nice.
Speaker 1:Really.
Speaker 2:Just the leave and then when you breathe that in, it's actually the expectorant right, the decongestant. It's to help clear out any phlegm or mucus. So she's providing one way or another. You can smudge all of our herbal blends as well, just burning it and just by breathing this in. I mean it's kind of counterintuitive because you're like, oh, smoke, but that's the carcinogens and the chemicals you're breathing in. This is all natural. So you don't have to worry about breathing that stuff in, yes, and keep the energy clear and flowing.
Speaker 2:Another tool Smells like church to me. I love you, I'm sorry, I forgive you, thank you, thank you, and we're going to say a prayer here that we've cleared our energy for International Peace Day. So, dear Lord Jesus, we just want to pray for peace, peace that surpasses all understanding, knowing that we are in your divine company. Love and care is, you know, about every hair on our head. Every person has a different fingerprint and a different path and wonderful gifts to share, and if they have eternity to learn this lesson. But let's be here now and cast all of our worries and cares onto the feet of the cross and trust in you, dear Lord, and praying that peace can be surpassed, all boundaries and borders that man has put on us, from a commodity to company, co-pony With each other, and energetically, and make that wonderful exchange of graciousness and in the spirit of utilization. Let the glory be to you, god, amen.
Speaker 1:Amen, that was a good one. Yes, they're all good. That was great. Yeah, amen, amen, that was a good one. Yes, they're all good, but that was great.
Speaker 2:No, yeah, I felt like in the vortex on that one, praying for peace and just keep praying. Don't stop praying, pray, pray, pray all day. As soon as you see something unpeaceful that comes into the membrane, pray as soon as you start getting fearful what didn't even happen or what could happen or what has happened. Pray as soon as you start seeing the little ugly. That's the horns, that's the devil's horns, the Antichrist running around doing his work. Just focus on his steadfast love and the word. That's why you want to get into it and keep reminding yourself that this, it is tried, true and proven. You could take that to Israel and see the proof and the chronicles and things. I mean we're not making.
Speaker 2:The Bible was not made up. There is lots of evidence to be had. But what a wonderful book. It kind of reminds me of a spell book. I don't know why. I just thought of it, but you know what I mean. Like people reference the spell book to like conjure, yeah, like it's like you can open this book at any time and have that be your compass and don't waver from the truth and and trust the truth, Trust the truth, trust. And there's so many resources out there too. It's wonderful, I feel like in a world of so much communication you really do—there can be a lot of misinformation, miscommunication.
Speaker 1:That's why having that steadfast, tangible thing that you can hold and read and pray upon is such a wonderful gift and a blessing. And I love how, in the New Testament, jesus talks in parables, because he's not telling you what to do, because nobody likes to be told what to do, but he's giving you gentle hints and stories and reminders of what you probably should be doing. Yes, just because you can doesn't always mean you should. Right Doesn't always mean you should right.
Speaker 2:Ooh Ooh. That takes a level of self-control I have yet to unlock. We're all working on it right now Because I have that. There's something on YouTube where it's like it's like a puppy, I think, and he's like I'm just a baby, I think we did it. I'm just a baby and I'm learning.
Speaker 1:Yes, we all are. I'm almost done with the Bible. I'm just a baby and I'm learning. Yes, we all are.
Speaker 2:I'm almost done with the Bible. I'm in Revelations. Whoa, I'm so happy for you and I haven't read it yet, but that's the one you hear a lot about, and so I'm really excited to delve into it.
Speaker 2:And so I think I'm like so close to being done that I was like not that I'm planning anything, I'm sure in divine timing, but maybe I'm like 222 portal Could be, if I keep reading two to three minutes a day at this pace, might be a portal unlocking into the new moon. Which lady? I'm about to let go of all the past worries and fears and what has been, what will be. I feel like I get like that a lot when talking about cannabis. I just you get caught up in this.
Speaker 1:I get a little sarcastic.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you get mad. You get angry those emotions are true, valid, but it's not going to serve you. There is nothing good that's going to come out of that.
Speaker 1:That's why we're here empowering everyday people to use holistic alternatives Actually not the alternatives. The natives the natives.
Speaker 2:Can you say that one more time? Say it like, fully, like we are Loud, just to throat chakra clearer. I don't even know what I said. Empowering our X, y and Z everyday people with not alternative alternative native, the natives.
Speaker 1:It wasn't as good, no, I love it.
Speaker 2:We are sunshine and bubbles I'm like yelling and you are the high five tribe and we are empowering everyday people man, woman, children alike to take back the power and put it in the natives, empowering everyday holistic people to take charge of their health holistically. We got the goods and sharing our gifts and we have been so blessed to be gifted with the opportunity to be able to create, explore, discover and develop a relationship with this plant. We are not the everyday farmers here, but I think what has been rooted and blossomed and grown from this plant has been such a beautiful thing and it is only when I start to overthink it, is it not? But I just love being here now with it, and what a wild time that we can even yeah, I can't wait to play with it more.
Speaker 1:That's my favorite part.
Speaker 2:She's sticky.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she's very resinous. It smells so good.
Speaker 2:Oh yes, we're using the microscope before and checking out all of our trichomes. She's amazing.
Speaker 1:Oh, I wonder. And.
Speaker 2:And to think that this one, this was not even like the biggest cola of the wild tribute, but this was a seed that fell along the way and we trusted the process and we let her grow and bam, yeah, to be honest, it's open pollinated. I have no clue what strain this is. This is the DNA. I'm special, yeah, right, but probably a true hybrid, as most things are, as they're cross-pollinated outdoors. That's what happens, nature it flies in the air and then changes over time. But hey, how wild. So, oh, we cannot just skip. So you grow your own flower, you grow your own herbs. Then what do you do? You dry them, right? Well, yes, you can. Yes, that's an option I like to keep. I mean, always fresh is best, right, right, because I feel like people if you are using it medicinally, I don't necessarily think you'd have to decarb this to get the nutrients and the cannabinoid value from it, because that really is just activating the THC, yeah, or the precursor of that, to get you high.
Speaker 2:So I feel like even juicing these buds could have you feeling super elevated, lifted and at ease, or the Nug Smasher. Or the Nug Smasher with the resin. That's dried buds though, right, Mm-hmm.
Speaker 1:I'll say well, let's give it a try. It's sitting right there staring at us. It is, it is, it is.
Speaker 2:No, sorry, you can. Nugs, smash it, tube set. Use some of the sugar leaves and the fan leaves in your salad, because you can eat these too.
Speaker 1:Tea. You can even eat the buds. They're a little resinous, they're sticky.
Speaker 2:A fresh tea and then, of course, then you're going to dry some because you want to save some for winter. Right, Preserve it, preservation just like you do with any other herb, and you're going to dry it. You're going to hang it upside down.
Speaker 2:So all the yummy goodness floats to the ends. Yeah, all the cannabinoids will kind of go to the tips of the buds and then be the most concentrated, and you're going to put it in a cool, dark preferably, because light can degrade the cannabinoid content. Cool, dark place with some good ventilation. You don't want anything to get stagnant or moldy. Check on it. It should take about a week, I would say, of drying upside down in a clean, cool, dry place and then you can take apart the buds and start to use it. Now a lot of people will activate that A, the THC molecule, or the precursor CBD, and I think that does kind of enact the psychoactive effects. So you could put it in the oven then. Decarboxylation is a simple process too, where you're just kind of heating it up and knocking off the acid molecule low and slow.
Speaker 1:It's like a lightly toasting, I feel like. Once 240 for 40, but depending on the amount it may be less or more.
Speaker 2:But low and slow in your oven. You put it on a sheet pan and put it on in.
Speaker 1:It's going to be smelly. So have a good ventilation or fan going, or warn your neighbors.
Speaker 2:Invite them over.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Have a party, so de-carve it, and that is going to activate all the chemons for you if you're not smoking it. I mean, of course, when you dry it and you want to go ahead and put some in your pipe and smoke it. Have at her, Mad Hatter, Please do. It's the most direct way to get the plant medicine, but otherwise you could also tincture it. I would say with the, We've tinctured fresh buds before and it's been amazing. So fresh is always best. So I would say, do the most of what you can when it's fresh. You could also infuse your carrier oils with it. Fresh, right, yeah?
Speaker 1:Alcohol and fat-soluble. So alcohol with high alcohol content, because it is very resinous, right to get all that ooey-gooeyness out of there. And then any type of oil Olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, mct oil Jehovah, yeah, what other oils have we? We've infused hemp seed oil. Oh yeah yeah, hemp on hemp on, hemp on hemp on.
Speaker 2:Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh All drop concentrated straight from the source. Yes, yeah, infuse your oils and make a tincture. You can even get I mean, there's tons of recipes online, but you know making a topical for yourself or smoking it and making tea blends, like Katie from Good Vibes in Richfield Cookies create some butter.
Speaker 1:You can make some cookies or some canna crispies or brownies.
Speaker 2:It all goes back to how do you want to consume, how do you want to use this plant?
Speaker 1:Like a herb, like a seasoning, like your basil and your rosemary and your thyme.
Speaker 2:Absolutely. We have that herbal seasoning. It's so good. Sprinkle that on everything. I can't wait to make our own herbal seasonings now with herbs from the farm. That's going to be really special when we do it, but I just love working with the plant. She's so versatile and don't treat her any different than any other plant in the garden Herb in the garden, rather, or plant medicine All of them are really versatile and generous. She's just a little bit more sticky than the mouse.
Speaker 2:Don't only think it, just start doing it, and then you can start answering your own questions.
Speaker 1:I mean, I feel like Beepity boppity, booping with that.
Speaker 2:Yes, I love doing it. I love like whacking myself too. It's like, oh wow.
Speaker 1:I'm sure that's therapeutic as well.
Speaker 2:Absolutely Kind of like. It's not like I've never had Botox, but it's activating something. But play and don't trust your intuition. Don't overthink it, Because I feel like a lot of times you get in your own head I know I do. I'm always like I overthink it and then I talk myself right out of it. I'm like wait a minute and then, when you did arrive, it's like, oh man, like I could have been. Don't do that to yourself either. You're exactly where you need to be when you need to be there, but we got the fresh buds for you, friends.
Speaker 2:So, honestly, if you are in the Washington County, southeastern Wisconsin area and you would like to come to the farm, check out the buds, see them sun-grown, organic and in the fields, like how nature intended, take a selfie. Take a selfie, hey, good content there. Or you know, or get a fresh plant. That's how they used to do it. It was like Christmas tree, like chop down your own Christmas tree. You could chop down your own hemp plant. Take it with you on the go. I'm open to it. I'm open to it, I'm good for it. I mean, why not Come at me, let's go, let's party. I'm an open book. So if you'd like to work with this plan. I just want to honestly. The main mission is to find good homes for it.
Speaker 1:Absolutely.
Speaker 2:I don't want to see no trolls left behind. No, no col's left me. She just wants to be loved Right Earth. Yes, you are so loved. She is so, so loved and divine and beautiful. And the queen they call her the queen of herbs, and if you can't see why, I don't know, I just love that. She speaks to every single chakra system, probably all the elements too the earth, air, wind and fire yes, I mean, because a lot of times Even the ether that's what you are using. Do you think of tea? That you're using all the elements to make tea? Wow, so kind of infusing that in with it and she makes a mighty fine tea. And that's a really good time. Being the master, balance or synergist, if you will. As the herb, she is creating that synergy with other plant medicine, making your own blends that could really speak. What's calling to you? I don't think, honestly, I wouldn't have just hemp tea, like it's too bitter. Yeah, she needs other herbs. She wants to play. She plays nice with others.
Speaker 1:That's why it's nice to have the Herbal Blend, because you drink it too as a tea, reiki infused as well.
Speaker 2:We did Reiki infuse all of us. Should we Reiki infuse everyone out there? Reiki ignite, sending you all our good, reiki, love and energy to be here now and utilize the usefulness that's out there that plant medicine has to offer. Utilize she always provides, just for today, be useful, be of service. They are of service. I feel like utilize and service being useful. I take it personally so they're like I need to be useful by sharing my gifts. Yes, and that is growing some really really good things. Such a beautiful gift you have. I just got to get my sales pitch better going, I think Sometimes at the farmer's market I'm like telling people and I like just info dump on them and they're like I'll be back, I'll be back now.
Speaker 2:Well, they asked questions and then you had to gain their knowledge already right.
Speaker 1:So it's like well, what do you know?
Speaker 2:Yes, tell me, you got to use that motivational interviewing technique I learned about at ACHS. It's a practice, though it doesn't come natural. No, but I feel like if I use motivational interviewing in every aspect of my life, I would be so well off.
Speaker 1:Oh, me too.
Speaker 2:Better than I already am, which is already enough, because I am enough. Where are they? Where are they? Consciousness, this consciousness, this awakening, that's, you know, using this plant for that conscious awakening, since it speaks to all the chakras, kind of you know, it's intriguing and it spurs your interest, so you are more apt to gather and seek knowledge.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and see what you can find, but grounded at the same time.
Speaker 2:Yes, rooted in nature, backed by science. I think that's one of our competitors. Tagline Probably Charlotte's web. Good, I like that. Love you.
Speaker 1:Charlotte's web.
Speaker 2:I recycled it from a counterpart that speaks our same language. Yes, indeed, so dry those herbs, store them up for winter. That's what the harvest is all about making use of what you got.
Speaker 1:So if you just dry them sorry, no, no Out of your shelf life, give or take, the cannabinoid content will drop, not significantly but it will. But if you do do a tincture, then it's pretty much indefinitely, as long as it's stored properly and probably oil depending, but yes, so even if you do dry it and have flour and it's coming to almost an end or that year mark, then you can make a tincture and you'll still be able to get all the goodness that is left in there.
Speaker 2:Whatever you do, don't throw it out right, Don't count.
Speaker 1:We'll come after you.
Speaker 2:Share with your buds too. I feel like when you are making something you know, since she is so generous in giving, you should do it too.
Speaker 1:She's such a social plant. Yeah, you must share with your buds.
Speaker 2:You get what you give, so I'm willing to give you some fresh buds. Get out of here you give, so I'm willing to give you some fresh buds. Get out here, get after it, uh, also bringing this fresh flower. Speaking of fresh flowers, so, and let's just say you know, for nothing else, let's say it wasn't super medicinal and wasn't part of the phyto cannabinoids. It spoke to your master conductor system to achieve balance for pain, sleep and mood and had the answers to all your no, I'm just kidding Answers to all your problems. Hypothetically Can, may, could. It's a beautiful flower. We love making bouquets with this and using other flowers out on the farm. I've had so many experiences bringing this fresh flower onto the scene and watching people's eyes just light up.
Speaker 2:They're like oh.
Speaker 1:What is that? Just watching people with beautiful fists on their head walking around Toe-on-to-thigh too. Medicine and almond everywhere we go, Viroqua.
Speaker 2:Everywhere We've done this Summerfest. There was a whole three seasons where all we did was Viroqua. Everywhere We've done this Summerfest, there was like a whole like three seasons where all we did was flower crowns or wreaths or this much for Dixie Vim, uh-huh, a lot of like, make and take kind of things, which was really fun. We've had so many fun experiences with the fresh flower and then urging people to take them home and dry them and utilize the whole wreath, sometimes with all the plant medicine that the earth has provided, and I'm taking them to Cheryl's Club 175 in Slinger, wisconsin, and making the flower arrangements for the table centerpieces.
Speaker 2:And this week is homecoming, so I'm sure we're going to blow some mice and it's going to be awesome. But I feel like then, like kind of normalizing it, like de-stigmatizing it, like hey, it's out there, it's totally legal, it's legit, like wow, this is really, this is what we're so scared of. I mean, I feel like it kind of normalizes it a little bit Right, and I love the smell. It's just undeniable and it makes for a great conversational piece at the table.
Speaker 2:So I like putting them in water for a little bit, honestly, when I harvest the colas and I know this might sound strange, but not that I'm letting any of the buds or anything sit in the water, but I like using them for a week or two and enjoying their beauty.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and then I'll dry them Like any other flower, cut flower, right Like any other flower, but she is that queen, yes, she is the flower, the centerpiece, she is the thriller, yes. So how much fun do we have? I feel like no stone left unturned.
Speaker 1:What do you guys do with your cannabis? Yeah, let us know, because we got some Going to play.
Speaker 2:Yes, and it's plentiful and abundant and we are very generous with it and I feel like that's a good barter, perhaps Right, you share your gifts, I'll share mine, but that exchange is what just feels my fire and keeps me going, and it's really all about helping people and you can increase someone's quality of life, whether it be by a smile or a prayer, or maybe some pot, or all of the above, all of the above. It just makes a life worth living, living, loving, learning. Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, amen, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah. All right, let's do this thing, let's get out there. We have some butterflies to release. We must, for prayer, for peace. We're releasing the butterflies and they will spread their sweet wings and shine their light and soar in peaceful vibrations with the ecosystem and economies. Yes, they're the bridge Surfing the ether waves. They are For real.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 2:How much fun. And this chicory I feel energized from it. I like it a lot. I'm honestly like whoop, like a coffee substitute. I'm always looking for a good coffee substitute. Yes, you know, because I stick to my one cup, one cup of caffeine. And you know some people don't do that Once. They say you caffeine is an addiction. It is. And cheers to two years of our sobriety. Alcohol For California Sober. Let's talk more about that on our next episode. Hey.
