Greetings from Cyberdelic Space.

This is Lorenzo and I'm your host here in the Psychedelic Salon.

And today I'm going to play a recording of a live salon that we had two weeks ago.

Our guests that night was Dr. Rob Plannery, who spoke about the medical marijuana business.

And as you listen with me right now, my guess is that you'll think of, well, some other

questions that we probably should have asked Dr. Rob.

I know that I've come up with a few myself, so sometime next year we'll have him back

for another round of questions, and if you think of one, well, just leave it as a comment

in the program notes for this podcast, which you can find at psychedelic salon.com.

And now, here is Charles introducing our guest.

Today, we're talking to Dr. Robert Flannery.

He's the first Ph.G. in the U.S. with certified technical experience in growing commercial cannabis.

He's the CEO of Dr. Rob Farms and the co-author

of the Cannabis Growers Handbook, The Complete Guide to Marijuana and Hemp Cultivation with the legendary

Ed Rosenthal and activist Angela Baca. And we also happen to go to high school together.

So it's a little bit of a little bit of a reunion here, you know, in the salon this evening. But I guess. Excuse me. Just one second. I've got to ask this because we won't get a chance later on. And the two of you guys in high school together, please tell me you snuck out behind the gym and shirt and joint. I was a goody two shoes. Honestly, all through college, too, because, you know, I mean, what, we've been fed propaganda for how many, many decades. Robbie, for what it's worth, I was 42 years old before I had my first toke, so don't feel bad. I'm sorry to interrupt you, Charles. No, no, no. I mean, we both. No, it's a reasonable question. And, you know, we were both, neither one of us really kind of partook in the illicit substances, you know, until we were into our, you know, into our adulthoods or at least into college. And I guess that raises the question,

Robbie. How did cannabis enter your field of existence? How did it enter your life?

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, you know, I have a PhD in plant biology, right? So like the full,

the full spiel I like to say is I have a PhD in plant biology with an emphasis in environmental

horticulture and a specific expertise in hydroponic crop optimization for cut
