Oregon Buds

Welcome back everyone to another episode of Oregon Buds! Before we get into the episode we want to wish everyone a happy and safe 420 this Friday! It is a day of celebration for cannabis users all across the world. There is a lot of problems in today's society but for one day lets just relax with our friends and family and enjoy a day with our favorite plant. This week we had Trista from Empower Body Care. If you have been living in Oregon for the past couple years than you have heard of Empower! Trista has been fighting the battle to curb the negative stigma around cannabis. Her products help anyone and everyone with aches and pains. Maybe some of those aches occurred in bed after using her non-stick 4 play oils. Ooh La La!!! And hear your own personal battle against the failed war on drugs and how she has turned an unfortunate situation into one of the more well known topical and oil companies in Oregon.  Follow Trista at Empower Body care on Instagram @empower_bodycare and check out all her products at emp

Welcome back to Oregon Buds! We have another great episode for you today as we became a stop for the Kiwi Bird! Buckle up and get ready to hear some great stories and ideas we throw around!  The show starts off with a bang as Mikal and Kiwi start with some wicked dabs. We learn about how Kiwi became the mood enhancing specialist he is known for today. My man has overcome some serious shit and cannabis, this amazing healing plant we have the fortune of having, has helped him with his PTSD. Another shining example of what this plant can do for our soldiers returning from the fight across seas. Kiwi is everywhere and involved with everything. From growing down half way between the north pole and the equator, 45th Parallel Farms be killing it with some dank ass flower. You can catch him in person at Cherry City Compassion in Salem where he helps anyone and everyone find the right medicine for them. And anyone who just wants to have a great time.  We can't wait to catch up with Kiwi again in a couple of months and

Welcome back to another episode of Oregon Buds! With your buds, Mikal and Chuck. We had a great guest with us tonight, Andrew from The Hood Collective film. Their team is doing some great work on creating video content for everyone. Not just dispensaries and grows, but weed friendly hotels, educators, craft growers and processors. They also conduct video interviews to spread education to as many people as they can. They even have a bad ass 4K drone to do flyovers! Come listen to another transplant that took the leap into the cannabis market! We absolutely love all the unique stories of how and why people make the jump over to cannabis. It's not easy to leave things behind and take a leap into the unknown. That being said, the people who make the leap all want to help you make the leap as well!

Hello Everyone and welcome back to Oregon Buds! I would say with your buds, Mikal and Chuck but this week was a little out of whack! In this episode we had two wonderful people come up from Medford to spread the word of their amazing endeavor. Matthew and Natalie are from Jefferson Packing House which is a one stop shop for growers and gardeners. It is a great business plan to take away the burdens of all the work after growing. Jefferson Packing House picks up your flower, dries and cures it, then they trim and properly store you flower for sale. Now instead of dispensaries having 5,10 and 15 flower vendors come through their door, they now can go to one place and check it all out. What an amazing idea! I had the pleasure to interview them solo and get to know their story.  Unfortunately Mikal could not get away from the grow and join us for the interview and I got sick, AGAIN. We were unable to do our usual intro, testing and current events talk but we found the next best thing! Morgan, Mikal's Wife, came t
