Liner notes

Is Moffat, CO the new cannabis epicenter? Mike Biggio from Area 420 joins us to discuss their 420-acre cultivation project, the "Fourth Gold Rush," and how they are building a social equity model to bring legacy growers into the legal market. We also dive deep into "Outlaw Science" with a discussion on triploid/sterile genetics for outdoor seedless crops and the discovery of the mutant Freakshow strain. Plus, David from HC Magazine (The Hemp Connoisseur) drops in to discuss the evolution of cannabis media, the 8th Annual THC Championships, and why testing numbers don't always mean "fire."
