You Walk Into a Dispensary... Then What?

On the debut episode of the "Ganja Granny" podcast, host Karen Michel visits a Hudson Valley cannabis farm and three dispensaries in upstate New York, where she talks with dispensary managers, owners, and budtenders; a cannabis doctor; and cannabis cultivators to learn some of the vocabulary, procedures, and expectations when buying ganja in a recreational facility.

What is Ganja Granny?

"Ganja Granny" is an experimental podcast combining a sonic environment and auditory exploration with solid information aimed at seniors and curious others wishing to explore the new cannabis territory.

Older adults (50+) are the fastest-growing population of cannabis users — and the most underserved when it comes to real, no-nonsense information. No scare tactics, no hype. Information, not advocacy.

Each episode runs about 15 minutes — interviews with consumers and experts, music, field recordings, dispensary visits, lively conversations. The kind of sonic storytelling that only a career audio artist brings to a subject.
