Welcome to the Smoking Spot! This week's episode features Amanda's newest project: TRIPPER Magazine! The first cannabis tourism magazine for the wanderers, the weedheads and the canna-curious travellers. Light up and look around! Tripper is the path less travelled for the path less travelled. In fact, there is no path. We’re here for the weird and wonderful sesh spots, chasing graffiti across alleyways and exploring a new city after the joint’s lit.Every issue is a new destination city, and this one brings us to Toronto aka the 6ix. One of my favourite cities, it's a weedsmoker's dream: walkable neighbourhoods, parks on every corner, and more dispensaries than Tim Hortons. So, whether you're here for a farm tour, the dankest strains, unforgettable meals or unhinged public art— Welcome to the 6ix. Let's Trip.Tripper Cover Artist: Spencer Charlton @cratercrater Support Toronto's cannabis industry artists, creatives, contributors, and local businesses!

Are you "noseblind" to some of the most popular scents? Amanda and Ryan dive deep into the world of long-chain musks, the secret ingredient behind fragrances like Another 13, Baccarat 540 Extrait, Cloud 2.0, and Juliette Has A Gun. Explore the fascinating phenomenon of musk anosmia, uncover why these scents drive some wild (hint: it's primal), and learn about the historical impact of our obsession (we did hunt the musk civet to near extinction). Get ready for a scentsational journey into a hidden fragrance category you never knew existed.

Amanda and Ryan have been holding it down in the industry for over a decade, witnessing its evolution firsthand. Now, we're bringing our combined experience to the table—or rather, to the jar—with actionable advice for breaking into the business. We’ll show you where to start, how to stand out, what you should be earning, and how to recognize when it’s time to level up or move on.

Whether you're ready to replace your manager or finally launch that hash-rosin company you’ve been dreaming about, we’ve got you covered. We’ll walk you through landing roles with real growth potential and even break down how to start your own consulting business—using nothing more than your phone.

So grab your clearest Sativa and dust off that résumé. This week on The Smoking Spot, we’re showing you how to get in, stand out, and start getting paid what you’re worth..
