Join Kyle Kushman in the latest enlightening episode of Grow Weed at Home, as he sits down with the esteemed John Bayes, widely known as Green Bodhi. With over two decades of rich experience in the cultivation and consulting spheres of the cannabis industry, John brings a unique perspective to our show — blending organic cannabis cultivation methods with profound Buddhist teachings to form what is now celebrated as "Intentional Horticulture." Episode 22 delves deeply into how intention and mindfulness can be interwoven with the art of growing top-tier organic cannabis. John shares his extensive background that includes not only pioneering the nation's first certified organic dispensary but also impacting the industry through his advisory roles and political consultancy from Oregon to Washington DC. Kyle and John will explore the nuances of maintaining boutique-style quality while discussing John’s role in shaping significant legislations, such as Oregon Senate Bill 460 and Oregon House Bill 2198, and others that have shaped the legal landscape of cannabis cultivation for both medical and recreational use. As they discuss John’s commitment to the highest level of organic inputs, they will also touch on his contributions to genetics and breeding, and his interactions with politicians like US senators Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley, illustrating the breadth and depth of his influence. This is an episode tailored not just for those eager to enhance their grow skills, but also for followers of cannabis industry trends and legislation.
