In this episode of the podcast I get to chat with Gary Youds of Liverpool's "Chillin Rooms" which is the oldest Cannabis club in Liverpool. Gary started his journey back in 2002 after a conference that inspired him to set up the Chillin Rooms cannabis cafe. He tells me of the people who inspired this journey such as Colin Davies of "The Dutch Experience" which was another cannabis cafe set up in Manchester at the time and also the late Nol Van Schaik (RIP) of Willy Wortels cannabis cafe in Holland who helped teach gary a couple of things about running a cannabis cafe.  Gary is soon to open his cannabis cafe in Liverpool again once the current restrictions have been lowered and people can gather in groups again to socialise.  He is also to launch an App on April 20th which will help anyone else who wants to set up their own cannabis cafe.  I hope you enjoy the interview and thanks for tuning in , Much Love xx.  1:30 Interview starts 2:15 What year did you set up the Chillin Rooms and why? 3:45 The Dutch Experience Manchester and Coffee shop training in Holland with Nol Van Schaik. 5:00 What was the chilling room like when it first opened?
