It's Podcasts with Cannabis Equipment News

How’s it growing folks?! Welcome to the first of a few Thanksgiving Week episodes of Here Weed Go! I’m, your host Eddie Celaya, the cannabis reporter with TucsonMarijuanaGuide.com.

Before I get going I want to remind you all that Here Weed Go! is more than a podcast: it’s print and online content, videos and a twice-monthly newsletter filled with tons of exclusive content.

Our conversation begins with Mantey talking about his first experiences with cannabis…
