Episode 377: Because I Got High

🌿 Topic of the Week: Weed Culture — From Underground to Everyday
We take a ride through how weed went from something hidden… to something heavily marketed, legalized, and normalized in everyday life. Is it still “culture”… or just another industry?

Authentic vs. CommercializedIs today’s weed culture still organic… or did legalization turn it into a corporate rollout? When dispensaries look like Apple stores, is it still “for the people”?
😂 Personal Experience (Keep It Real… but Funny)
Funniest or most unexpected high story

Is smoking still “cool”?Or is it just normal now — like grabbing coffee?
Edibles vs. SmokingWhich one really wins? Faster vs. longer, controllable vs. unpredictable — and who’s had that one edible experience that went completely left?

If weed had a theme song… what is it?Something like Because I Got High or maybe something smoother — you decide.
Smoke session draft (3 people, dead or alive)Who’s in your rotation?Could be legends like Bob Marley, modern icons, or completely random picks that would make the session hilarious.

Hoe phase timing: early or later?
