Hello Again Is Taking On Menopause: At The Source With Cannabis

Hello Again
Carrie Mapes and Patty Pappas PHOTO COURTESY: HELLO AGAIN

Initially I was hesitant to take on this topic, menopause. Why? Being a man, I couldn’t possibly understand (I don’t, really) nor would I ever experience the thrills and deep joys of menopause. (I wouldn’t have that sports car either from what is described as Male Menopause. It doesn’t exist for men, no matter how we plead.) But actually I have experienced menopause from afar, however I won’t go into that in this article. Good thing really. But enough of what I know or better yet, don’t know about menopause. What I do know is that THC and CBD when combined in carefully metered doses (at the source) offer a deep form of relief that just has to be shared in my column. No matter what your personal thoughts are about taking any form of cannabis, this product that I discovered named Hello Again is Taking on Menopause… at the Source. Check it out!

Bosporus cocktail: Raise a cannabis-infused toast to ring in legalization 2.0

Raki is an all-purpose, age-old remedy for any and every occasion. The signature sweetened, anise-flavoured drink of Turkey is “the go-to spirit for celebrating a promotion or a birthday or for muting the pain of a job loss or the end of a relationship,” notes an article on CNN Travel.

As Canadians celebrate legalization 2.0, raki is also the recommended choice for a THC infusion, Bosporus cocktail. “The infused mix is delicious and gets you stoned without anyone smelling anything—it’s a non-confrontational way to consume cannabis,” Warren Bobrow, known as the Cocktail Whisperer in the hospitality industry, tells The GrowthOp.

Mixologist, bartender and contributing writer for Forbes, Bobrow is the author of, among other books, Cannabis Cocktails, Mocktails & Tonics: The Art of Spirited Drinks and Buzz-Worthy Libations.

His only piece of advice: “The cannabis strain that you use must not be CBD. In my opinion, CBD is useless; I don’t work with hemp, either. It does nothing other than lighten your pocketbook,” he says.

Five Rational Questions For Christopher Louie, Founder/CEO Xiaolin Cannagars

Cannagars are my passion and the people who make them are equally as intriguing. I love to seek cannagars out in my quest to discover the art of ultra-high-end cannabis. Until a couple of years ago, no one had any idea what a cannagar was, or what valuable ingredients goes into one. That was then.


When Christopher Louie moved to Colorado from New York, the market had not been established yet. He saw the financial opportunity to do something brilliant and educational too. To smoke one a hand-made Xiaolin Cannagar is an emotional and philosophical experience. And while not everyone can say that they’ve enjoyed a Xiaolin Cannagar, they are available legally in Colorado.

Why not put some real pot in Thanksgiving potluck?

We spoke to three cannabis influencers on how to bring cannabis to the dinner table.

Gin & Juice with a canna-twist

With the simplest of ingredients, one can make a delicious canna-punch. Warren Bobrow, the Cocktail Whisperer, says the key ingredient in his take on the classic Gin and Juice is the orange juice made with roasted oranges. The botanical gin, says Bobrow, “acts as a guide dog, if you will, for the THC. It’s really lovely!”

Ingredients

2 oz. botanical gin of your choice, with 0.25 g of THC-rich cannabis
4 oz. roasted orange juice
2 oz. ginger beer syrup (Bobrow uses Pickett’s)
4 oz. club soda
Fee Brothers Cardamom Bitters

Directions

  1. Heat the cannabis in a 240 degree F oven for 45 minutes. Cool and set aside.
  2. Add cannabis and the botanical gin to an iSi whipped cream maker.
  3. Force two or three Nitrous oxide (N2O) cartridges into the cannabis and the gin. Strain and set aside.
  4. Add the ginger beer syrup.
  5. Float roasted orange juice on top.
  6. Finish with 4 oz. club soda.
  7. Stir well and dot with Fee Brothers Cardamom Bitters.

For a final finish, Bobrow suggests a celebratory swizzle.

Through inhaling the healing vapors you can feel into your very soul that Sundae School mini-joints are something extremely special.

Five Questions With Founder/CEO of Sweet Flower Tim Dodd

Warren Bobrow=WB: Please tell me about yourself? Why cannabis? When did you decide to leave traditional business for a much different path in legal cannabis? 

Tim Dodd= TD: We launched Sweet Flower because we believe in building a large, scaled and competitively advantaged business focused on the long-term potential of the cannabis industry in California.  As the legal cannabis industry emerges in California, I see vast potential to build a differentiated and competitive business focused on operational experience (our team in addition to me are ex-Google, SNAP, Soulcycle, Equinox and Armani), retail and branding know-how, and a strong Southern California focus. Southern California brands are some of the most recognized in the world, and within cannabis I believe that we can build a best-in-class retail experience and brand.  The Los Angeles cannabis market is among the most complex and challenging markets, but I have faith that it can also be the most rewarding.

Five Diverse Questions With Michael Sassano, Founder: Solaris Farms

Mike Sassano

1. Where are you from? Why cannabis? Did you go to business school? Who is your mentor?

Michael Sassano=MS: I was born and raised  in Cleveland, Ohio before attending Boston University. I graduated Cum Laude with Distinction in Economics, then moved to New York. There I was trained at the famous 55 Water Street office of Lehman Brothers. With success in trading and being the number one producing arbitrage trader, I used my capital to fund real estate development and private equity tech start-ups starting in 1997 before moving to Europe around the 2000 time period. I saw the 2001 tech bust and subsequent boom, but the big whopper of  2008 was a massive eye opener if you were in any asset class. At the time, under-water real estate, a few tech unicorns, the general market and cannabis all had great futures due to the contraction. Cannabis encompassed real estate, future markets, and technology. Even then, there was no banking, so that wasn’t a factor. By 2015, large scale growing was just being planned and new markets were emerging. I decided it was the right time to design, build, and manage a high tech hybrid greenhouse and chose Nevada as it’s home. As to mentors in my life, I have  developed years of friendships with highly successful business leaders; i find their amalgamated success and lessons from failures to be great decision making guides that i can pull from. There was a good friend named Fred who told me day-one, and regularly, to never take advice from anyone who wasn’t more experienced and more successful than him. So i guess i took that to heart.
