Episode 244 - September 2026 Special
Episode 244 is the 42nd episode of Season 4.
We're joined on this one by Matt Jerome, Founding Contributor to the Connoisseurship Roadshow and Meristem Cannabis Consulting, as we run through September's cannabis and psychedelic headlines.
We start in the Netherlands, where ten cities now have coffeeshops selling only regulated cannabis from licensed growers. Customers say the quality is better, and the growers could not make enough hash. We stay in Europe for Ireland, where the neurologists who prescribe under the medical program say they want to use cannabis in their practice and that the path for patients is still hard to follow.
Missouri held its third microbusiness license lottery this month, and we walk through how the program got here and the new rules that came out of the first two rounds as well as my attempt win each lottery along the way. We get into the $61.5 million award two investors won against Cookies. We talk about the dispute over Sherbinskis and ask whether the person is the brand.
We turn to a museum guide on how the art world decides whether a painting is legitimate and we try its five steps on cannabis flower. We look at an entomology lab's five-year count of the insects living on outdoor cannabis and hemp. We wrap up with a nurse practitioner's guide for parents on what party substances do in the brain and when to call 911.
