BBM Ep. 202: So, what is the cleanest & safest way to ingest weed? (Featuring Dr. Miyabe Shields, Ph.D.)
Dr. Miyabe Shields, Ph.D., who prefers they/them pronouns, joins this episode of the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast to get into the science behind our favorite plant: cannabis! Miyabe is a pharmaceutical scientist who specializes in the molecules in cannabis and the system in the brain and body that are activated by them. Some questions Miyabe answers (because the more we know!) in their conversation Shonitria: Why is it that some people don't get high after ingesting edibles? Does smoking weed harm our brains and "fry" our brain cells? In what ways can cannabis help neurodivergent people? What does science say about using cannabis as a mom? And what's the cleanest way to ingest cannabis... edibles, tinctures, dry herb vaping, dabbing, joints, etc? It's always wonderful to chat about cannabis with a scientist who studies the plant to help us understand the plant even more. Grab your weed, boo, spark up and enjoy this enlightening chat with Dr. Miyabe!

BBM Ep. 201: Here's how weed can be medicine for parents — especially moms! (Featuring Sahra, Founder of Isankofa Skin Care)
Sahra is a mom who smokes weed and founded the popular Isankofa Skin Care, where she creates affordable small-batch skin care products with all-natural ingredients. She believes everyone deserves to access quality skin products without the hefty price tag. Sahra joins the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast to discuss how cannabis helps her as a mom and business owner. She comes from a family where weed was normal, as her Rasta father was a regular cannabis consumer who sometimes would give her cannabis tea as a child for ailments. Her father normalized cannabis as medicine to her, and she takes the same approach now that she's a mom. Shonitria has been a long-time fan of Isankofa's zinc deodorant (it's natural, organic, and there's no added fragrance — perfect for sensitive skin!), natural gold face serum, and herbal face toner.

BBM Ep. 199: Arana is the cannamom & boss behind NYC’s Travel Agency dispensary (420 Edition)
This 420 episode of the Blunt Blowin' Mama podcast is sponsored by The Travel Agency -- Shonitria's fave legal NYC dispensary. Arana joins this episode to chat about what it's like being a cannamom working in the legal weed industry. Drop by The Travel Agency's newest location in Downtown Brooklyn and let 'em know Blunt Blowin' Mama sent you: https://www.thetravelagency.co/ Follow The Travel Agency on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetravelagency.co Arana says she never felt the stigma on weed until she started working in the industry. She's the president and co-founder of The Travel Agency, a BIPOC-founded company that believes legal cannabis has the power to repair the damage caused by the war on drugs. The Travel Agency is a purpose-driven business, with the brand new Downtown Brooklyn store owned by those who have experienced cannabis-related injustices and their Union Square dispensary directing over half of the profits to The Doe Fund. The Manhattan mama says it took a while for her to figure out how to talk to the parents at her kids' school about what she does for a living. But she says she realized she should have no shame or feel a need to qualify her cannabis profession because weed has never harmed or killed anyone, unlike alcohol. Arana also shares how cannabis has been a useful tool in her marriage and a way she even bonds with her mom! Plus, Arana teaches us how to know if the weed you're buying in the newly legal state of New York is counterfeit or not -- she also details the dangers of vaping and what to look out for when buying vape carts. This is such a good episode -- happy 420, y'all!
Host Shonitria aims to normalize parents who smoke weed and amplify the voices of BIWOC in the cannabis industry by having honest, open, enlightening and entertaining conversations about the cannabis and hemp plants.
P.S. Moms who smoke weed are not bad moms.
