Cannabis Podcasts 2022

'420 Day Fiancé'
Like all the best podcasts, 420 Day Fiancé mixes two of its hosts' favorite things: 90 Day Fiancé and weed. Hosts Sofiya Alexandra and Miles Gray meet up each week to get blazed out of their minds and talk about the drama on an episode of 90 Day Fiancé.
When it comes to stoner podcasts and 90 Day Fiancé podcasts, this one is the best, even though it's also the only one. All kidding aside, we didn't realize it was possible to laugh this hard at people talking about a show we sometimes hate. Wild, we know.
Hot Tip: Listen to it high with your significant other who's really obsessed with the show.

'Great Moments In Weed History'
What came first, the stoner or cannabis? Only Great Moments In Weed History knows for sure. Hosts Abdullah Saeed (Bong Appetit) and David Bienenstock wax philosophical on modern man's favorite "herb."
Each week they take a deep dive into humanity's 10,000+ year relationship with cannabis (a.k.a. marijuana).
They provide tons of historical context without losing any of the humor that accompanies a good smoke sesh.

'In the Weeds With Chef Jordan Wagman'
In the Weeds With Chef Jordan Wagman is described as a "food first" podcast. But it's frankly one of our favorite foodie podcasts that also explores the cannabis landscape.
In our favorite episode, Chef Jordan talks with confection connoisseur Jamie Pearson, the president and CEO of BHANG.
If you're obsessed with food and getting high, you're not going to want to sleep on In the Weeds.

'Brave New Weed With Joe Dolce'
The Brave New Weed Podcast with Joe Dolce is actually based on his book, Brave New Weed: Adventures into the Uncharted World of Cannabis, which the New York Times called "a loving rethink of all things marijuana."
Dolce has frank conversations with the leading figures in cannabis, all geared towards life on the other side of Prohibition. Where will weed go next? Only Dolce's guests know for sure.
However, in the end, this podcast focuses on the uncanny natural healing power of CBD and THC. And that's the reason we're all smokin' and tokin' these days, right?
-
'Getting Doug With High'
Getting Doug With High featuring comedian Doug Benson has been around forever and is an OG cannabis podcast. The premise is simple: each week Doug has a guest on the podcast and together they get very, very high.
It features a wide variety of guests including artists, musicians, actors, comedians, and of course, stoners.
A few years back, we attended a live 420 taping of this podcast and would love to tell you about it, but we got too damn high. That's how you know Benson and pals truly hot-boxed the venue until things went blast off.
-
'Periodic Effects: The Cannabis Science Podcast'
Anyone trying to learn the business of cannabis needs to tune into Periodic Effects: The Cannabis Science Podcast. It focuses on the science and business of cannabis. It's hosted by Wayne Schwind, the CEO and founder of Periodic Edibles.
Schwind's background in chemical engineering gives listeners more of the science of cannabis than other podcasts. The combination of educational insights with the future leaders of cannabis results in a stoner podcast that entertains and informs. You don't want to miss this one.
-
'How to Do the Pot'
How to Do the Pot is exactly what you think it is: a podcast for weed beginners. Don't bother googling your questions, just listen to this. It's hosted by Ellen Scanlon and is a great 420 primer, for the noobs, especially women.
This shouldn't be a reason not to listen to it. In fact, you should definitely listen so you can have the kind of insight to see what the reasons women want to smoke are so you can smoke with them.

'Weed + Grub'
One of our favorite stoners of all, Mike Glazer, co-hosts Weed + Grub podcast with his friend Mary-Jane Gibson. Although it seems like it would be completely food-centric, it's really the only podcast that's like getting high with friends.
Mike and Mary Jane smoke, snack, and swap tales about cannabis with special guests each week, all while talking about comedy and culture just like the weed gods intended.
