Canna Help You – Ellementa and Jetty Extracts

mercywellnesscannahelpyousquare

Host Michelle Marques and Joe Sullivan, Leading Expert and Product Manager at Mercy Wellness are joined by Aliza Sherman, CEO of Ellementa to talk about women and their relationship to cannabis. Cannabis can effect women differently than men, and women also tend to reach for edibles, tinctures, and topicals more than flower and vapes. Learn more in the book that Aliza Sherman co-authored with Dr. June Chin, "Cannabis and CBD for Health and Wellness" available online.

During the second segment, we talk Nate Ferguson, co-founder and Chief of Production at Jetty Extracts. Nate shares details on their new UNREFINED Live Resin product and how it differs from other live resin products. Jetty works with a proprietary cryoextraction process and curing techniques to create this full spectrum product.

Canna Help You is produced by Owen Guyan. Please send your comments and questions to cannahelpyou@mercywellness.com.

Under California law, the sale, distribution, manufacture and cultivation of cannabis by a state licensed operator is legal. However, under federal law these activities remain illegal. Nothing discussed in this program is intended to imply otherwise.

The discussion is not to be construed as medical advice. Any discussion of the potential medical uses and benefits of cannabis or CBD are intended to encourage the listener to discuss those uses with the individual’s medical professional.

Good Food Hour – June 6 – Cosmic Crisp Apple Revisited, Grilling Recipes, and Rhubarb with Tinky Wiesblat

goodfoodstevegarnerjohnash-2

Hosts Steve Garner and Chef John Ash talk with Washington State horticulturalist Bruce Barritt about the Cosmic Crisp apple, which Bruce spent 20 years and 10 million dollars developing with his team at Washington State University. Steve and John tried the apple on air with Bruce in January 2020. During the tasting Bruce mentioned that the apple was developed to remain fresh for 10 months...We've kept our sample 'Cosmics' refrigerated and now we've reached the 5 month point, and it's time to retaste!

As a kid Chef John Ash grew up grilling trout with his grandparents. In this next segment he introduces us to the techniques of both grilling and barbecuing: from grilled fresh spring fava beans(really!), cider-brined pork tenderloin, to grilled fruits with ginger custard sauce. His summer menu will have you primed to get outside and start the weekend! Click here to view the recipes.

June 9 is National Strawberry Rhubarb Pie Day! To celebrate we invited New England writer/chanteuse and doctorate in American studies 'Tinky' Weisblat to the show. Her new book is 'Love, Laughter, and Rhubarb' ...filled with witty historical essays... this wildly enthusiastic book (she named her cat Rhubarb!) features over 60 delicious recipes.
