Tonight’s conversation is about something deeply personal.

Not just a condition…

But something that touches memory, identity… and family.

Tonight’s topic is Alzheimer’s disease.

A progressive neurological disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior.

And for many families…

It changes everything.

Caregivers carry emotional weight.
 Patients experience confusion and loss.
 And loved ones watch memories slowly fade.

But as science evolves, new conversations are emerging…

Including how cannabis and the endocannabinoid system may play a role in understanding brain health.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, it was. It was really great. The fellowship part, man. We needed it.

SPEAKER_01

SPEAKER_06

Ooh, crisp is a kind word. It's in the 20s, but it's it's beautiful, man.

SPEAKER_01

I mean, crisp, like I said, when it crisp for me, I I I'd look to that's what's my def not that my definition of crisp is like, okay, when you walk out the door and it smacks, not smacks you in the face, but it's like yeah, you know, it's a definition. Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_06

You know what I mean? You know what I mean? And I I took the long johns off, bro, to prime myself, so it's extra shock for me.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, man. We we are, and for you guys who don't, folks who don't know, uh Professor Waffles and I, Dr. Bong, are long johns people. I still got mine on, bro. I'm telling you right now. I and it takes me a minute to actually stop rocking them. You know what I mean? I know.

SPEAKER_06

You you hang out sometimes till like June.

SPEAKER_01

But man, I got cold. Man, I'm not cold, man. I got rheumatism. I'm cold, man. You know what I mean? Oh, I know. I'd rather be comfortable than uncomfortable. So, yeah, man. Speaking of comfortable and uncomfortable. Uh, tonight's conversation is about something very deeply personal. We're talking about Alzheimer's disease, a progressive neurological disorder affecting memory, thinking, and behavior. And uh, caregivers they carry the emotional weight, patients experience confusion and loss, families which watch memories slowly fade away. So, tonight we're going to explore through the four lenses to our show. As you know, Billy, and again, welcome back to business. So, education is becoming a central part to cannabis retail at MJ Biz, and an MJ Biz Daily article explores all Somalier-style training for cannabis staff, helping guide customers through terpene profiles, cannabinoid ratios, and cultivars. For patients navigating conditions like Alzheimer's informed guidance matters what? It matters.

unknown

Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_01

It matters. Because I mean, I think I've with our experience, you know, we can share our experience. Um I was your your uh your cannabis liaison, your cannabis, you know, your uh patient care consultant. Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_06

Um I would consider you my cannabis prescriber at the time because you were educated. You weren't just a bud tender, you were prescribing medicine for me.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, so um I appreciate you. I I don't think I was for you, you had already gotten the certification from your doctor. Right. What I would do is help you guide you through the products on how they would work for you and what they would work for you.

SPEAKER_06

And I needed that guidance, Brother Bond, because I only had known kind of uh a tool to get high. I had never heard of it as being medical, especially when I came to very quick. You know, I came with my license and I wanted to be let's just use the term prescribed for. But I didn't know how to guide myself.

SPEAKER_01

Right, and again, because and because the stigma just really, really, you know, um is set in with cannabis, you know, especially medicinally. You know what I'm saying? Uh because the the stigma is so tied to almost so many negative things. You you know what I'm saying? So and so for us to say, okay, let's have a platform where we can talk about it, we could talk about Alzheimer's disease and cannabis, we can, you know, we can bring the story in and you know, um bring it home for for many people because you know, like I said, you know, patients are real people. You know what I'm saying? There's somebody's mom, there's somebody's dad, there's somebody's brother, there's somebody like you, there's somebody like me. Because these this you know, this this disease can set on at any time.

SPEAKER_06

And um it's real life impact with this one, Jeffrey.

SPEAKER_01

Right, right, right, right, right. And so you're gonna hear you're gonna hear Professor Waffles call me by a couple of different names. That's right. I am, as we said, uh he just called me Jeffrey. I am JL Starr from JL Star Enterprises. Uh, we are a medical cannabis or cannabis uh cannabis consulting uh firm. So you can reach me at JLstar Enterprises at gmail.com, cannabisconsultant at gmail.com. And um you can also check us out on the platforms because now what we do is we take in this bill, we're gonna take this Professor Waffles and we upload it to the other platform, which is BuzzSprouts. And uh so you know, shout out to BuzzSprouts. Um, I like them. I told you I like them because you know this show is cannabis. Uh you know, this is obviously you know cannabis related. Uh, you know, and one of the and one of my favorite words about cannabis is are is buzz. You know, I got a buzz from that. Old school, man. It's all about the buzz. I ain't the youngest motherfucker if you're gonna see the thing. You can pick that out on not only on Buzz Pro, but you can also take us on the YouTube, on Apple, uh, Spotify, we're on Amazon Music. We're moving up in the world pro. Uh yes, sir. So uh yeah, man. Friends of the show, we want to shout out good friends of the show, uh, Best Buzz Magazine. So you said you were checking them out. Were you you were liking some of the stuff you were seeing in the magazine?

SPEAKER_06

Oh, it's wonderful, man. It's so interactive in the articles, so in-depth, man. I I just can't put it down. I'm loving it.

SPEAKER_01

And there's so many things to, like you said, there's so many things to find and see because for me, I'm always looking for content. You know, I'm always looking for stuff to get me to get me started and then to get that conversation. I actually actually get the creative juices flowing from me because it is you know a a huge uh a huge uh subject, and you can get lost in things.

SPEAKER_06

And the magazine is very uh, you know, it's good uh expansive on all sorts of cannabis-related topics, man. That's how you go into a rabbit hole, it's a wonderful estate. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01

And again, and I think that's that's what this is designed for, you know, because again, because we are, you know, cannabis is one of those things that you know, once you consume, you know, some people I think they can go into that rabbit hole and can look into. Like I was deeply into the article about cannabis travel and places where you can actually design a cannabis-based uh uh excursion. So shout out to Best Buds magazine, shout out the Best Buds Media and Pen Game Publishing. Uh, you can check them out, bestbudsmagazine.com. You can check out the vlog. I vlog, Billy.

SPEAKER_01

So, like Billy said, man, like so like Professor Waffle said, you can check out Best Buzz magazine and get some news. So shout out to DC, James, Emma, and uh, like I said, check out the culture section, scroll down, and you can see the vlog. Um, and it's the cannabis chronicles, uh, going back to uh those days. I think there's one video, Billy, uh, where I uh and I think you saw these ones where I used to change the color. Like the like I had the uh the color was like the rotating, it was like a um a rotating color. Yes, yes. Uh it was, you know, kind of my it's like, you know, what am I gonna do? But it was fun.

SPEAKER_06

That was from the uh the boom box, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_01

No, no, I had this. It was the it was the um it was the uh it was the ring light. The ring light had that option on it. And I saw you that on the ring, and it was just and it was just like, you know, because I was all spelled, you know, I was I'm spelled right now. What you smoking all today, by the way, speaking of.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, I'm smoking on a good mixture of the same stuff you're smoking right now. And I'm also drinking a heirloom brand honey crisp apple cider infused with 10 milligrams of cannabis. Yes, sir, exactly. Uh pardon me. But the best thing you have to brother bonds tastes like apple cider, man. No after taste. Great product. Verlum honey crisp apple cider. 10 milligrams of five milligram grams of CPD. Nice buffer.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, you got a nice one-to-one. That's a nice. Like I said, a lot of folks don't realize how good and what a balance is. You know what I'm saying? So we were talking about we are the cannabis chronicles. I'm your boy, Dr. Bog, here with my boy, my homie, the one and only Professor Waffles. And uh we're talking about Somalier style bud tenders, an article in MJ Buzz MJ Biz magazine. See if I can say, but I said buzz, and I'm I'm seeing I'm seeing biz and I'm saying buzz. So here we go. So um, you know, um, so let's take a look at that from check a look at Alzheimer's from a different perspective. Um, you know, let's take a uh a puff. Let's take another puff of perspective from culture. Yes, sure. So can culture has deeply has deep uh excuse me, canvas culture is uh shaped by music and expression. A marijuana moment article, uh we came across this article and it made me laugh. I thought about you because uh we talk music all the time. It highlights the fact that Snoop Dogg attempted to trademark the uh the the words smoke weed every day, which was denied. It was denied because the federal law and culture is saturated. What's that mean, bro? What does that mean? I'll put out you. So basically, cannabis language has become part of public culture. Alright, so which means it's already out there too much, so we can't really how do you, you know, so how do you how do you claim that? Number one, how do you, you know, how do you um what do you call it?

SPEAKER_04

Um how do you trademark it's too late, I think.

SPEAKER_01

It's like out there every day.

SPEAKER_06

Out there every day. It would be like trying to use the word trying to trademark mark the you the word car, for instance, you know. Everybody has one. Basically the same thinking, right?

SPEAKER_01

Also, you can't trademark something that's not federally legal.

SPEAKER_06

Oh, I did not know that.

SPEAKER_01

So you can't point it, you couldn't um so you couldn't sue on those grounds because number one, you know, like I said, it's not federally legal, cannabis and cannabis culture, cannabis culture, and then number two, because it's already out there. And you know what? Also, I got I I think this is this for me, this might be a strong number one. Now, this is something you don't know. Folks, we, you know, with while Bill and I, we are definitely you look at our avatars, you can see we're obviously Ebony and Ivory, uh, and we come from two different, completely two different backgrounds. Musically, uh, I educate him on certain things, and musically, he educates me on certain things. Like our favorite, one of our favorite groups are the Rolling Stones. I knew them, I knew them as you know these certain members, but Billy is the ultimate stones member, ultimate stones fan, excuse me. And he has exposed me to um a um a deeper understanding of of the Rolling Stones. So I'm gonna give you, my friend, because I don't think you would know this. I'm gonna give you a deeper understanding of that, that that saying, smoke weed every day. Now, that smoke weed every day. First of all, I was inviting, first of all, shout out to my boy Um uh Dr. Uh Killjoy Lion. Uh he was a he was a friend, he is a friend, excuse me, that was a friend on this platform that goes way back to the day when um you know when we first started the we first started the program. And uh his, I mean, the first one of I mean the his tagline was smoke weed every day. And um so shout out to him. So I was trying to get him to join the show today, but um such an invitation, but I don't even know if he remembers me. But anyway, going back to one of my point um was that it's a smoke, it the song, the the the line is in a Sloop Dog song, but Snoop Dogg did not perform that song. I mean, we performed the line. This is a cultural puff. Wow. And it was a rest in peace to Nate Dog. Because Nate Dog was like the godfather of West Coast rap. Obviously, Snoop would be, you know, one of the kings of West Coast rap. So the godfather, um, yes, we're still talking. No, we haven't seen Nate Dog. Um, so Snoop was like I said, um, excuse me, um, Nate Dog was the guy who sang a lot of um hooks on the West Side songs. And um hey, and um so anyway, he was on that, he was he and he sang the hook, and the hook in that song was smoke weed every day.

SPEAKER_04

Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, but that is Nate Dog. So rest in peace, Nate Dog. We are the cannabis chronicles. Uh, you know, so it just it just proves that cannabis language has become part of public culture, bro. You know, I mean, you say things, you hear things, and you know, like, I mean, where's the beef? Like, where's the beef goes back to back in the early days with can't with uh with uh with hip hop, and there was a if you remember like in the late 80s I think, remember the old lady from Wendy's used to the street?

SPEAKER_04

Right, right.

SPEAKER_01

Totally, totally, totally hip hop culture. Um I was hoping I did not know that. Absolutely absolutely because uh uh back in the day, a beef was you know, what what was the static, what was the problem? Is there an issue? Yeah, right, right. Okay. So they just they just they just used that and they you know captured that cat they used that catchphrase and they uh flipped it for the fact that they were selling burgers. So yeah, what was went went that way. Awesome. That's what I was thinking about.

SPEAKER_06

So you educate me on the music all the time, brother. You know, look what you did to me with R and B and Funkatelli. You know, you talk about me with the Rolling Stones, I had scratched the surface on Funkatelli. Years ago, but you just exploded and brought it back into my life. Now I can't put RB down, man. You know?

SPEAKER_01

Hey man, listen. I and it's funny because we we talked, we had this conversation, and you know, you that that was just that music is just soundtrack of a soundtrack, soundtrack, soundtrack of your life. And again, that's just one group. So we just talk about one group, one genre, rock and roll, I guess for you, and for me, R and B, and how they they like you said, they they they intersected. Yeah. But, you know, I got a little bit of your rock on my side, and you got a little bit of my RB on your side. So now us being uh friends and being colleagues and being partners in this whole situation, you know, and us spending so much time together, you know, chopping it up. Like I like with uh what was the what was the group, man? Was it public enemy? It was public enemy, right? Because I remember the first like year we hung out, bro. We always played public enemy, it was always in the background.

SPEAKER_06

That was our thing, man, because that was something you and I united on right away. Because I always liked public enemy, but I never really searched it out, you know.

SPEAKER_01

And you didn't know who they were, and I was like, oh shit, no man, no problem, man. This is on my side, this is on my playlist, man. Come on, man. Are you kidding me?

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, man. It was good stuff.

SPEAKER_01

Was good stuff, is good stuff. Shout out to them. I think they have, I think I saw them, they have some dates because you know, I keep acting acting like I don't have a computer in front of me. So I'm gonna pull it up. Public Enemy. Like this is what this is what I love.

SPEAKER_06

Uh like public enemies on the road, so is uh Bill uh George Clinton and Funkadelic in different various forms.

SPEAKER_00

Okay, yeah, he's touring right now.

SPEAKER_01

So they are definitely touring. They are definitely touring.

SPEAKER_06

I think he recently played Brooklyn over the summer. We couldn't make it.

SPEAKER_01

Like I said, man, it was crazy because uh when I saw when I saw him, when I saw George Clinton, it was what 2019. Like I had like had to do the binoculars because it was like, where is he? And it was because they so many people on the stage, Bill. It was just crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy.

SPEAKER_06

All right. Yeah, that's the way he rolls, man. You just look for the rainbow dreads, man, you can find them.

SPEAKER_00

Yeah, that's what I had to do.

SPEAKER_01

I had to find them. So we are the cannabis chronicles. I am your boy, Dr. Bob, and we are a weekly Candid Cannabis Community Conversation, where we discuss our favorite subject, cannabis. Um, so uh we talked about the article with Snoop Dogg and his attempt to explain why smoke weed every day and the fact that it got smacked down, and it got smacked down by the government because number one, the word is uh the excuse me, the the phrase is um uh cultural saturization cultural saturation is what they called it, and due to the federal law because uh cannabis is not legal federally. So, friends of the show, um I want to move on. We could talk about a couple of uh geez, Bill, and I'm sitting here, and you think I was on you think I was on camera again and being all nervous, but I'm not. Ah, here we go. So, friends, I would show shout out to Canada Society and um you know uh Canada United Network. If you want to join the platoon, as Bill did, and Bill, Bill, you're part of the platoon, you know.

Um at this studio, so we made it again with this.

SPEAKER_06

It's been a while. It's been probably a year since you broke her out.

SPEAKER_01

No, because I haven't been there. It's been a little bit, it's maybe seven, eight months. Oh right, yeah, close. It's closer, it's it's closer to a year than not. So we're we're counting, we're talking pennies here. So, yeah, so that's where I got uh Black Beauty from. And uh, so shout out to Justin and his crew and everybody over there at uh chillpytes and budsteed.com. Um so how you doing, man? How you feeling, man? I know we were talking about stretching, man. Um we were talking about, you know, you can't wait to stretch. I needed to stretch. Because I'm telling you, man, as I gotten older, man, like, you know, just like if I lay or sleep, fall asleep the wrong way and wake up the next day, it's like, oh man, something's not right. And it literally, I I I was because like maybe maybe about a month ago, right? I was like, man, what's wrong with my chest, man? I feel so weird, man. I'm like checking my uh checking my heart monitor constantly, like, you know, looking at my my uh my you know, my fitbit, how everything's fine, everything's fine, everything's fine. And then this morning when Miss A went to work, I rolled over and I was laying on my right side, and then I felt the pain. I was like, that's what it was. So I remember that I was like, oh, that was that was right when she I did the same thing. I laid on the side and had the pillow underneath me under my right side, and then when I woke up, I felt like it had stretched and it felt weird, and it was a weird stretch in my chest area, and then I was like, okay, this is and then I said that's what caused that. So I understand, man, because I mean you gotta deal with your situation that you can't really stretch it.

SPEAKER_06

You're a stretcher. Yeah, I I and let's just get to the point what happened. Um, I had cancer surgery last week for skin cancer, and um it put a very big impression in me, and thank God the chicken samples came back for you. I'm gonna be alright, but it's a very huge cup. And just in the host is like from my shoulders to my chest, but I can't cross on. I love the church, it's so good for you. And I have one week left for the cookie coming out because I cannot wait for a it's so good for you because when we talk about um how they're kicking off and getting the blood circulating, it's all part of holistic health, man. You know, keep breathing, cleansing breaths, getting the oxygen into the blood, you know, and getting the oxygen into the muscles.

SPEAKER_01

So my my good my my my um my food sort of uh wasn't working.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, so I'm looking forward to you know that part of collective health, working, you know, and the colour is also helping with that because stretching is such a part of my routine, stretching allows my muscles to relax and my brain to calm down to be able to actually relax. And sometimes when I don't feel like doing it, it also if I take away the cubic brain and I smoke that, I have the energy to get up and do that stretching and those exercises.

SPEAKER_01

So the cannabis works in both ways that way for me, but I I I would I would not I would not change a thing you said, man. I would 100% wholeheartedly agree and concur with you, my brother, because you know, as you know, um I've been you know doing this uh helping folks with this cannabis thing for a minute now. And you know, I consider it to be you know an honor and a privilege to be able to help folks with something that you would look you would think it would be like, oh what? You know, but it's like it's it it really is.

SPEAKER_06

Um we're just touch scratching the surface of what this plant, the potential this plant has, you know. It's like what they say we only use a quarter of our brain, we're only using understanding a quarter of the plant, also now. You know, and with all new studies, Brother Bong, I really think that you know we're gonna continue to learn more, and it's gonna blow your mind. Absolutely.

SPEAKER_01

All right, Canafam, so let's take another puff of perspective. So Alzheimer's in Alzheimer's involves beta amyloid plaque and tau and towel tangles disrupting brain communication. So research uh via PubMed Center explores how cannabinoids can influence neural inflammation, oxidative stress, and neural signaling. Now cannabis is not a cure, but research is evolved. So it's showing folks in this article, um it's showing that you know um research shows that you know cannabis can be or cannabinoids, aka a cannabis can be um neural and have to be beneficial for neuroinflammation. Basically, that's the same brain inflammation. Right. Again, going back to what you said, stress, stress and the oxygen, um and neuro and nor neuronal, excuse me. I'm sometimes have a pronoun, I'll have a hard time pronouncing words, neuronal signaling. So, what neuronal signaling is again neurologic, neurologically, neurons they need to fire into your brain. Again, and if there's a kink, and what folks don't realize is that if there's a kink in that muscle, and if I'm wrong, tell me to uh um um please um help me um with uh um definition. But if you have a kink in your muscle, then you can have a kink in your uh nervous system. So have a would then have a negative effect on your brain function, your buttons. Okay, like one of the things I think the general thing uh folks, many folks don't realize is that um when you have sciatica and that nerve, that nerve is affecting your muscle. And uh folks don't realize that, you know, they kind of they actually it takes um nerves to send the electrons to the muscle to tell the muscle what the body wants you to do, what the brain wants to do. So if there's a if there's a um uh a hitch there, a glitch there, that could be a situation that could be a huge problem. We are the cannabis chronicle. I am I am joined, I'm your boy Dr. Bond. I'm joined by my homie. I'm so glad he's up and about. He shared the fact that he had a surgery recently and we just want him to get better. We always want to make sure positive energy and prayers for you to get better. Of course, bro, you're a brother from another mother. Um and it was it was great. It was okay, it's great to on the show because we want to do content, we want to have stuff, we want to have things for folks, because again, as we said before many, many times, Bill, is that you know, you may not be listening, they might not listen right now, but now that we're all we're accessible, I like that word, we're accessible, more folks can then listen to it later on and glean some understanding from and something that they may be facing, someone they love may be facing because we say every all the time, is that cannabis medically is not for everybody, but everybody knows someone who can benefit from cannabis medically. And I mean, you we always hear every day about folks who have Alzheimer's. We talked about the other day last week, you know, we talked about other um conditions, we talked about um PCSD, we talked about stress, and how again, cannabis, because our bodies are an intricate, delicate computer machine, whatever you want to call it, uh master computer, master machine, whatever you however you want to phrase it, um it's it has layers, it has levels and other things influence one thing, influence another, influences another, influences another. And cannabis is as well, like you said, Billy just like Professor Waffles just said it. We can tell we just close friends, we always say he can't tell his name. Um Professor Waffles just explained it that you know it is part of part of what part of what it is that cannabis does is connect us, you know, um and helps us in more ways than we can actually see physically. But there's a lot of other subconscious benefits. Is that a good way to phrase it though?

SPEAKER_06

No, there's more uh unexplored benefits we don't understand yet. That's what I'm saying. It's more stuff under the surface that we haven't even cracked, you know. If I may, brother, if I may, I'd I'd like to add on to what we were talking about about the Alzheimer's. And you were saying about the info information and the uh neurons, the neurological system, how Alzheimer's basically is a real information that's center of how the cannabis can relax that system and allow non-nerve interfer. And I was just thinking about just the closing back in the day when they used to call it marijuana, and it said they said it made you. So, right there, scientists have proved that cannabis actually helped the filling on brain neuropathy. So it it's just so crazy how something that helpful is demonized.

SPEAKER_01

But that was because, you know, because again, big pharma, big pharma didn't get the nickname because they said they wanted to be called Big Pharma. And I don't think it has anything to do, it has yeah, of course it has a lot to do with you know certain things, but for me, primarily the big pockets, the deep pockets. You know, and big pharma was big long before we it came up with the phrase was coined. So uh what is business, you know, to be the titan, to be the top. So we had, you know, this plant that was, you know, and I read an article the other day that there's places that actually grows just wild, you know. Cannabis grew wild, hemp grew wild in the wild for in the wild, for wild. Say that seven times now. But it grew and because they're cousin plants, you know, and some of sometimes, you know, hemp plants can have an intoxicating effect. School times can have an intoxicating effect. I mean, we have articles. I gotta get to we gotta get to the um the archives, the archives. So I can because I wanna I want to pull all of the resources of the future years that I've been doing the show, because I have notes going back all the way to when we you know when it first started. Articles and books. And I want to just, you know, be able to correlate that. And I think, you know, with my friend, our friend Chuck in Chat GPT, we can correlate that information and then make it, you know, more easily and readily available for myself. But basically, there's just so much information out here, and so we just want to take it step by step. It'll be a great resource for sure. Absolutely, absolutely. Uh, I think I should write a book at this point, seriously, seriously, just uh uh just just just general tips, you know, from Dr. Boggs tips.

SPEAKER_02

So Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

Great idea. Friends of the show, you know, we talked about the Somali style butt tenders and how they are helping people with Alzheimer's select the right buttons the right products that may be beneficial from them. We also talked about uh Snoop Dogg and his attempt to uh uh to um copyright. Copyright, thank you. The copyright to saw, excuse me, the words get high everyday, smoke weed every day. It was denied because cannabis is a fully legal and because the phrase itself is now too culturally widespread. So think about that cannabis culture has become so embedded in society that it cannot be oh. Shout out again to Cannabis Society and show pipes. All right for Canada families. Take another puff of perspective. Uh Alzheimer's disease affects how the brain functions at a cellular level. It involves the buildup of beta amyloid plaques, tau tangles, which disrupt communication between neurons. Over time, those cells begin to deteriorate. Uh, and a research published pen magazine explores how cannabinoids interact with neurological pathways. Scientists are studying how cannabinoids may influence neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, neurological signature. Some early findings suggest cannabinoids may play a role in how the brain responds to inflammation and degeneration. But let's make it clear cannabis is not a cure for Alzheimer's disease. And also, let me take this time to say I am not a doctor. I am Dr. Bogg. It was a player doctor. We say that we're doctor, he's not a professor. We are, this is our disclaimer for cannabis is not a cure for Alzheimer's disease, nor are he's either a professor, nor am I a doctor. This is emerging science and responsible and informed use is truly, truly essential. Shout out to our friends of the show, Living Soil DMV, MDV, excuse me, um DMV. Uh MDV Gatano and his team in Rochester, New York, way, way, way upstate, and also Budsfeed Weekly. We spoke about them a little earlier. Kind of jumped it down there broke on the same uh card for me. So Budspeed and Justin and his team and the crew at Budsfeed.com. So, all right, Canada fam, let's take a puff of perspective. So now we come to our favorite, my favorite, your favorite segment of the show, Professor Waffles. Now cannabis research continues to evolve, and sometimes, and I repeat, sometimes a question people don't expect. Right, so an article from High Thomas magazine explores a question that scientists are studying. Can cannabis affect male fertility? What do you think? What do you think, Professor Waffles?

SPEAKER_06

Well, um, I think that it relaxes you. So it's better for the sexual act.

SPEAKER_00

Doesn't that make a point? Doesn't that make it better? I mean, when you've Yeah.

SPEAKER_06

So you're talking about sexual potency or sexual fertility?

SPEAKER_01

I guess that's no, that's what it's actually. It says, is it science for studying can cannabis affect male fertility?

SPEAKER_06

So fertility would be sperm count.

SPEAKER_01

Right. So let's talk about it. Uh so the researchers are looking at sperm mortility, motility, hormone levels, and reproductive signaling. And the takeaway is the science is still developing, and cannabis continues to act, interact with more systems. In the body than we ever, ever, ever once understood. Like, because I mean, I guess I mean because I remember, wow, Bill, I remember when I was in high school. Shout out to my high school, shout out to the 40th anniversary of the what do you call the 40th reunion? He just had it, they had it. I wasn't there, but there was a per I I'm wondering if this probably person is probably long gone by now, but he was a security guard. And he knew we were going out a month to smoke weed. He saw we said it's gonna make you infinite, it's gonna make you infinite, it's gonna make you infinite, and I I just remember that. So when I saw the article.

SPEAKER_06

No, sh he really said that, huh?

SPEAKER_01

Yep, yep, yep, he sure did. So this is all about because I graduated in in 1880. Wow. So uh, but yeah, and you know, I tried to remember, I could see his face, but I cannot remember his name. But he was an older gentleman then. So that's why I guess I used to arrive. I don't know, but he would say it's gonna make the infinite, and he knew exactly what we're doing. Uh although he never, you know, I never had an issue with him. Like there were some security guards and some professors professors and some uh administrators that um you know you had to be clear of, you had to be scared, weary of. Yeah. Uh the the vice principal. Um, I remember, and I'm not I didn't I never I didn't get the picture. And you know what? I was so I don't know. I should have there was more things I probably should have just said, okay, yeah, I'm gonna pay for. Um like my senior pictures, I've waited too long to get them, and now you get them in the yearbook. So I don't have a year picture in my actual yearbook. I just have pictures of my yearbook of like things that I had did. Like uh football team, swim team, uh school play, that kind of stuff. I was in those pictures, those clubs. But like, so I didn't have my actual picture of the yearbook, but um you know, yeah, man, it was um it was 40 years ago, and I remember like uh in my in that yearbook, like it's funny because I have spoken, even though I didn't go to the reunion, I was still close with a few people from that. And uh when I say to people what what what I do, what we do, you know, how you know we work in medical cannabis, not more people than not are not surprised.

SPEAKER_02

Right, right.

SPEAKER_01

I this goes this thing goes back for me that far. Like I remember, you know, one of my first hustles with cannabis was filling the dollar joints off my school bus. You know, getting a handful of weed from my bottom.

SPEAKER_06

The senior doors was the dollar joint in my high school.

SPEAKER_01

So what the the what made them the senior doors? That was the doors that always seemed to go in, out, or yeah, it was the front of doors called the senior doors.

SPEAKER_06

It wasn't by the main office, those like you can probably not go and pass the front desk. You earned that as a senior, I guess. You know, so that's where we hung out. The senior doors are nobody's always somebody selling uh dollar joints, three seeds and a spam, you know. That was in those days. In yonkers, anyway, in yonkers.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, I I um this break was a little different, and maybe and like I said, because my perspective is coming from the supplier side, you know, like I again, we you know, we didn't have the best, but we had it. Yeah, man. And like like I remember like uh like every day before school, like I know at least like freshman year, I was kind of goofy, you know, getting high school, you know, cool, getting high school figured out. Shame I was you know, I had discovered like you know, hanging out, and that was a true, I was my burnout year. Like 10th grade was my burn-out year.

SPEAKER_06

I just really brother fuck, same, bro. Same, get out of my head.

SPEAKER_01

Go ahead. 10th grade, burn 11th grade. I was like, all right, I'm about to get to I'm about to get the hell out of here. So like what the hell is that?

SPEAKER_06

So I gotta pull it together, right?

SPEAKER_01

So then because I had, and because I had like I am thankful for theater, and also, oh, you know what? I'm glad I thought about this. Um I want to spend rest in peace. Um I don't say shout out, I don't know how to say this, but one of the one of the things I did in school, and again, just gonna say, wow, I didn't this is so far from what you did, but what I one of the things I did in school was I used to do the morning announcements. Really? So yes, so in junior high school, elementary school, middle school, and it's a high school, and I think like it was more like the late end of elementary school, like the junior high school, but the junior high school and high school up to that tenth grade when I started trying to be into a burnout. Um, I was I did the morning announcements. So every morning, my wonderful pre-pre-bested voices come across the PA system and say, Good morning, Knoxville. Today's date is what is today's date? Uh March 18th, 2026. And I am Jeffree Starr, and today's weather is but one of the the um teachers who uh encouraged me as a young student. We lost her this week, Miss uh Mathis, Miss Mona Mathis, uh sixth grade, seventh grade English teacher. And I had been doing it, but I didn't take it seriously. She challenged me to take it seriously.

SPEAKER_06

Now, were you high when you were doing this, Brother Bond? No, no, no, no. Okay.

SPEAKER_01

At that point, like I like I said, I didn't like like I said, nine tenth grade was when I started the burnout. And that's when I stopped doing oh, I get it. Okay. That's when I stopped doing that kind of stuff. And they knew that I was in a burnout now, so it's like, yeah, how are you gonna be on it? Well, that was my question. I'm quite sure that there was a there are a number of students who went to the you know to the faculty and was like, hey man, you know he's a spell and cover from the power.

SPEAKER_06

Anyway, you would have sounded like Venus flag trap back in the day, bro, if you were high donor.

SPEAKER_01

That was God rest his soul. That was my older brother. My brother, what my brother Wesley was a DJ on um in uh Pittsburgh uh uh WYEP uh college radio, radio station uh the University of Pittsburgh. Cool. And um, so yeah, that was his thing. I again I was more of the roadie. My thing was for I mean for that side, for the for the DJ side. I could set up the equipment, I had set up his equipment, you know, hook it up, couple hook it up, and when he needed to take a break, I could spin a couple of songs for that. But my thing was when I um I diverged because I love theater, I love acting. And uh church, but I could for me it was for church and the church choir, and you know, we always did the uh what they call the passion plays. Passion plays are plays based on stories of the book of the church, excuse me, of the Bible, uh Easter play, Christmas, that kind of stuff. So um uh that's where I fell in love with performing on stage. So it that's where my the my love for that diverse. So I definitely had a DJ in the family. But yeah, so rest in peace to Mrs. Matthews um and deepest sympathy to her children, both um Robin and Jay, and um myself and my my other my fellow students, we send our deepest sympathy to you. And uh yeah, but she was man, she was she was so I don't know if you had one of those teachers, man, but she was she was tough, man. She was a tough teacher and she challenged you and she challenged you to the face. And she he you know, she made you she made you accountable. You know, I I feel like I remember seeing a movie um years later, of course, um about uh Lean On Me with uh with uh Morgan Freeman. And the show the movie was based on this uh high school or yes, high school uh uh principal. And when I saw the movie, it just made me think about Mrs. Mathis. So uh resting peace to Mrs. Mathis, because like I said, you have to challenge, I think, for and they this is getting this stays in the cannabis conversation, is that you have to be we have to be upfront, we have to be vocal, we have to talk about the fact that yeah, it's great medicinally, yes, cannabis is awesome. However, it can help people. It can help you get, it can help you relax, it can help you feel better, and it can help you and you know, individuals improve the quality of their life because that's the most important thing, you know. And as we, you know, as we search, as we get older, you know, um, how do we um you know, how do we, you know, how do we uh intersect that? How do we deal with what it is that we are, you know, and and and our heal and our helper and health and our healing. And you know, one of the things is that the takeaways of it is that, you know, um and we talked about this in High Times magazine, is that you know, it it is the the science is still developing. Cannabis continues to active to be interactive with so many different functions of our bodies, besides our reproductive, besides our mood, besides our stress, besides our, you know, the fact that you know, I think when you it's going back to what you talked about stretching, you know, when you can relax, you know, when you can get a deep relaxation, because sometimes some cannabis for me give me that deep relaxing feeling, you know, where I can say, okay, yeah, I can enjoy the stretch. Or as you said, I'm motivated to stretch. Right. And again, going back to your comment, I mean, how beneficial something as simple as stretching can be for us. Hey, what's up, Suby? Welcome back to the show, welcome back to the show, folks. That's our that's the puppy of the show, uh, puppy Suby. Suby, yep, yep. He's been quiet through the whole show. Well, he's been very quiet. Because these movies didn't, you know, there he would be in the show, right? He'd be up in the all the up in the up in the up in the. Oh my god, how many times am I gonna think up in the up in the studio with us? I get so excited because I heard my buddy Subi. So give him a pet from Uncle Jeff. I will. You know, so the cannabis continues to interact, and you know, like I think remember what our shout out to our friends from um Happy House. Remember Happy House? Yes, yes, and you know, dealing with the cannabis, talking about cannabis as medicine, it also is medicine for our animals. And see Suby is one of the uh one of the um reci recipients of that relaxation. Yes, sir.

SPEAKER_06

You know? Um so it's calm, it's good, very comfortable. You like the bought whatever you want to go find the house. A couple of TBD. It's it's supposed to be like it's um not the cannabis, but specifically C B D. And uh it really relaxes them. It doesn't get them tone, but it's just children.

SPEAKER_01

And I mean, because again, they you said it earlier, the tip of the iceberg has just been touched. It hasn't really been, you know, really fully, fully, fully uh examined and and understood. But again, I this my understanding for and that's it, the intersection of human and animal consumption goes back further than cannabis. For me, it goes back to I used to have dogs. I love dogs. I love, you know, and I own a dog owner, and I had um a chocolate-colored, dark, dark brown uh pit. Her name was Destiny. And with dark dogs in the summertime, she would get these heat patches where she would get like these, like these dry spots on her on her coat. And because she was a short coat dog, it was really noticeable. So a friend of mine, shout out to Tony, uh, another dog owner, dog dog breeder, um, said this yellow man put in her food an egg and a vitamin E pad. Okay. So I put in her food, I always mix it with dry and wet. So I had a mixture of wet through the egg in it, through uh, through the vitamin E. Dog loved it. I'm gonna tell you, Billy, within 30 days, her coat was the most beautiful coat. She never had the dry patches again.

unknown

Wow.

SPEAKER_01

She never had anything because of the vitamin E. Because what do they say? Vitamin E is good for what? Your skin.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_01

So that understanding of, you know, uh the intersection of you know our medicine and their medicine goes back to then. That was that was pre-2000. That was ninety. Wow.

SPEAKER_06

Yeah, I do all that for Subi, uh, my dog who's a TV Enu, and he has three coat. But I uh I give him an egg once in a while. I give him certain essential oils, all for his fur health, you know, which again, you have to treat him like you would a human being.

SPEAKER_01

Exactly. And that's that's my whole point is that so again, the things that are good for us can be good for them. So shout out to our friends again. Shout out to um friends, another set of friends of Big Gas Worldwide, uh, Big Gas Dispensary. Uh, shout out to them. You can check them out at biggasdispensory.com. If you're in the uh, if you're in the New Pulse area upstate, uh Friends of State, if you're in the New Pulse area, you can check them out at their dispensary in New Pulse. Uh and uh shout out to Reem and his team at the dispensary, shout out to Penn Game Publishing and DC and the team over there in Atlanta, uh LA and Pittsburgh, and us in New York because we are formed. We have form, we've done a we call that uh uh Transformers to form a company, an entity we're working on it called uh Best Buds Media. So that's the podcast and everything. We're just again we're building this, and just so thankful to be part of this. So shout out to DC and the team over there.

SPEAKER_02

Yeah, sure.

SPEAKER_01

Shout out to you, Wow Bill, man. I'm glad you're better. I'm glad you're better. I'm glad you're better. Can of them, let's take another puff of perspective. The cultivar's uh spotlight this week is Harlequin. Now, before we close the next episode, it's time for our cultivar spotlight to both tonight's cultivar is parliquin, known for its balanced CBD to THC ratio. Profile is often associated with calm focus, central relaxation, predictable, um, excuse me, reduced psychoactivity. So reduced psychoactivity just basically means you're not gonna get super duper stone from it. It's gonna give you an elevated experience, but you're not gonna get super duper stone because CDT does uh uh lower the psychotropic, the psychoactivity of TAC. So if you want just a mild psychoactive medicine, mild psychoactive training, type Harlequin. Interesting because balanced cultivars have like Harlequin, it's often a cultivar like Harlequin have often been discussed in medical cannabis conversations, especially the patients seeking clarity without intensity. Yo, wow, Bill man, thank you so much. We'll go over a little bit today, but um Alzheimer's just needs to remind us something powerful. Memory is identity, connection is everything. I love our connection with you, man. I love the memories we share with you, man. You're my boy, you're my brother. I guess that's from another mother.

SPEAKER_06

And absolutely, my good friend. Okay, it's a wonderful thing we do together, sir. And I'm honored, yes.

SPEAKER_01

I look forward to it. So, cannabis thing may not be the answer for everyone, but research continues, conversations continue. We want you to join us for our conversation next week, where we talk about our next subject, and the next subject is diabetes, and how cannabis can be effective, can be beneficial when you're talking and when we're dealing with diabetes. So, this is the Cannabis Chronicles. I am Dr. Bond. I've been joined today by my homie, my friend, my brother, Wow, Bill, aka Professor Waffle. So I want you guys to stay informed, stay intentional, stay lifted, responsibly. So good night, friends, donors, you can affect peace. Good night.
