But sometimes, it feels just like you’ve seen it all—or maybe looking at moving pictures is a little too overwhelming for you when you’ve consumed cannabis. \n\nWhatever the case, have you ever considered listening to a podcast? Using your ears is a great way to take advantage of your heightened senses while under the influence of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Those of us familiar with cannabis know that it can slow down our perception of time, leading to enhanced focus and attention. This is why listening to music while high can be so enjoyable.\n\nSo, why not apply the same principles to a podcast? \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nPodcasts have come a long way since the early 2000s. You no longer have to limit yourself to the powerhouses like \"Radiolab\" and the \"Joe Rogan Experience.\" Podcasts these days span a wide range of interests, and many of them are well thought out with high production values. \n\nWhether you’re looking for an in-depth analysis of past scandals, entertaining interviews with celebrities, or a good story with biting sociopolitical commentary, there’s definitely a podcast out there to suit your taste and needs.\n \nWith this in mind, we’ve put together a diverse selection of podcasts that you’re likely to enjoy—both during your daily commute and while laying blissfully high on your couch at home.\n\nRELATED: [TOP CANNABIS PAIRINGS FOR YOUR NEXT LIVE MUSIC EVENT](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5b6bca30a1805500087dba66/top-cannabis-pairings-for-your-next-live-music-event)\n\n### 1. “Slow Burn” \n\nIf you can’t get enough of past scandals with wide-ranging consequences that we’re still processing many years later, you’ll dig Slate’s “[Slow Burn](https://slate.com/slow-burn)” podcast. This dense but totally binge-worthy listen would pair well with a mellow, thoughtful cannabis strain like [Jack Herer](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a7cd5d1d520d60009f4f4b1/jack-herer). \n\nSeason one of “Slow Burn” tackled Watergate, while season two covered the Bill Clinton-Monica Lewinsky affair. This podcast aims to give the listener a new perspective on popular but often misunderstood events. In addition to meticulous research and planning, “Slow Burn” also features archival tapes from these eras that give the listener a sense of what it was like to live through these scandals.\n\nIf you’re looking to travel back in time and think deeply about historical events and how they relate to today, give this podcast a listen. \n\n### 2. “Inside Trader Joes”\n\nYes, that’s right: Trader Joe’s has a podcast. Arguably the best place to buy both healthy and indulgent, munchie-worthy snacks, Trader Joe’s has gained a cult following, and its podcast, “[Inside Trader Joe’s](https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/inside-tjs-podcast),” is no different. Pair this light-hearted series with an equally fun and frivolous strain like [Pineapple Express](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a7cd070d520d60009f4f4ad/pineapple-express).\n\nWith similar vibes to a show on the Travel Channel, you’ll hear all about secret tasting panels and a woman who has one of the best jobs ever: traveling the world in search of flavors and cuisines to meet the needs of Trader Joe’s loyal customers. \n\nYou’ll also learn the answers to questions like: Why are Trader Joe’s bananas 19 cents? And how did that famous Mandarin orange chicken come to be? If you like fun but useless facts and kicking it at the end of the day with fluff shows like the “Great British Bake Off,” then “Inside Trader Joe’s” is worthy of your time. \n\n### 3. “Bubble” \n\nA sitcom in podcast form, “[Bubble](https://www.maximumfun.org/shows/bubble)” is a sci-fi comedy series chock full o’ cutting one-liners and dark but hilarious observations on today’s tech world. \n\nThe setting of this podcast is the city of Fairhaven, described by the podcast’s website as “a literal Bubble of corporate utopia set amid the wild, imp-infested Brush.” The series follows a band of monster hunters who attempt to “make ends meet and find love in a nightmarish version of the gig economy.”\n\nOverall, the series feels like a blend of “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” and “Silicon Valley” with the comedic sensibilities of shows like “Portlandia” and “Broad City.” If you’re into intelligently written comedies and biting satire, “Bubble” may be just up your alley. Pair this imaginative series with a giggly strain like [Space Queen](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5b313da29755250007f2aeb1/space-queen).\n\n\n### 4. “2 Dope Queens”\n\n“[2 Dope Queens](https://www.wnycstudios.org/shows/dopequeens/episodes)” is an ultra-popular podcast that boasts a simple formula: stand-up sets and special guest appearances by celebrities. But what sets it apart from similar podcasts of the past are its hosts who have real chemistry and its emphasis on featuring comedians from traditionally underrepresented backgrounds.\n\n“2 Dope Queens” has met with much success due to its hosts: Jessica Williams, who you may recognize from her time on “The Daily Show” and writer, actress, comedian and serial podcaster Phoebe Robinson. The two work well together and cover topics like sex, romance and race with smarts and sensitivity. \n\nTheir podcast has been such a hit that HBO ordered a series by the same name. Pair “2 Dope Queens” with an equally fun and playful strain like [Candyland](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5b903676404e830001078770/candyland).\n\n### 5. “Everything Is Alive”\n\nGet ready. This podcast is weird—_high_ concept, if you will. Each episode of “[Everything is Alive](https://www.radiotopia.fm/podcasts/everything-is-alive)” features long-form interviews with inanimate objects. Ever wonder what an elevator or pillow would say if it could talk? Well, wonder no more—producer Ian Chillag has done that for you. \n\nFor a podcast about inanimate objects, “Everything Is Alive” oozes with humanity—you’ll never look at a can of Go2 cola the same way again. Plus, each episode features some bizarrely interesting anecdotes. For example, did you know that strawberry Fanta is popular in Thailand, where it serves as an offering to ghosts? \n\nOriginal, quirky, melancholic and thoughtful, “Everything Is Alive” will make you appreciate human creativity. And it’ll give you hope for the future of the arts—someone out there was willing to fund this bizarre concept, after all. Pair this podcast with an equally cerebral and emotional strain like [Northern Lights](https://www.hellomd.com/strains/5a7ce57ed520d60009f4f4bb/northern-lights).\n\nPhoto credit: [burst.shopify.com](https://burst.shopify.com/)\n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/5b8882d88dd0720008373fcf/cannabis-101-what-you-need-to-know-to-about-marijuana) index of articles.

On HelloMD, patients can connect with a physician to get a medical cannabis recommendation over live video, and access information on marijuana products and dispensaries as well as advice on marijuana’s medicinal efficacy.\n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n

\nThe evening began with a couple hours of networking at an outdoor combustion lounge where [more than a dozen top cannabis brands](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/59caa7214219283019163673/top-cannabis-brands-that-are-doing-it-right) provided samples of cannabis products, including vaporizers and vape pens, concentrates, topicals, edibles and beverages. The lounge was hosted by the event’s premier sponsor _DOPE Magazine_, a six-year-old publication “dedicated to creating purposeful, relevant conversations around cannabis.” \n\nThe guests then enjoyed 90 minutes of stand-up comedy by three local comics—Mike E. Winfield, Carlos Rodriguez and Steph Garcia—bringing the relaxed crowd into non-stop laughter. \n\n### Top Cannabis Brands & Stand-up – a Perfect Pairing\n\n“People often say laughter is the best medicine, and when we laugh it’s proven to be [beneficial to overall health and well-being](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/59d3d11c11eb3213ee682590/top-ten-health-benefits-of-laughter). Bringing together an event with the top brands in cannabis and a comedy event seemed like a natural pairing,” said HelloMD co-founder Pamela Hadfield. \n\n“Our goal is to support our partner brands by exposing them to new patients and to help raise awareness among patients as to who the brands are and what they do,” added Hadfield, who started HelloMD with her husband Mark. \n

\n_DOPE Magazine_ has a similar mission, according to Senior Business Development Manager Jason Rosenberg. “DOPE stands for ‘Defending Our Plant Everywhere,’ which the company does by curating and cultivating the most trusted brands in cannabis,” he said. \n\nHadfield said the October event was a “tremendous success” with almost triple the attendance of the company’s two earlier community gatherings. “We had requests up until the day before for brands that wanted to participate,” she said. Tickets sold out in advance, she added. \n\n“We’ve been holding events to bring our community together to share in a unique experience while promoting cannabis as a tool for health and wellness,” explained Hadfield. \n \n“HelloMD promotes the connection between body, mind and soul, and we feel our events explore and bring together these different facets,” she added. \n\nRELATED: [HELLOMD CANNABIS POP-UP EVENT ATTRACTS SAN FRANCISCO CANNASEURS](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/598389c62186835997fb7dd9/hellomd-cannabis-pop-up-event-attracts-san-francisco-cannaseurs)\n\n### Good Times, Good Fun with Cannabis\n\n`embed: https://www.instagram.com/p/BaJ6TmpAyhi/`\n
\nThe evening’s entertainers also thought the event was a success.\n\n[Mike E. Winfield](http://mikewinfield.com/), a star on Netflix’s “Brad Paisley’s Comedy Rodeo” and on the eighth season of NBC’s “The Office,” said the “energy of the crowd made it a wonderful place” to perform. “It was just so much fun,” he added.\n\nWinfield, who’s based in Sacramento, said this was his first opportunity to perform at a cannabis event, and “I certainly hope there will be more in the future,” he said. “My wife and I went home with a bagful of goodies, and we intend to dabble with them and remember the fun we had that night.” \n\nComic Steph Garcia, also from Sacramento, said she was thrilled to be invited to HelloMD’s event, “because I’m a huge advocate of the healing properties of cannabis.”\n\n“The mood of the crowd was awesome from beginning to end. There was lots of hugging and laughter. I just had so much fun.”\n\nGarcia pointed out that an audience who’s enjoyed cannabis instead of alcohol makes for a “different and better experience” for performers. “People who are drunk can be really awful” during and after the show, she said.\n\n### Elevating the Wellness Benefits of Cannabis\n\nIn the days following the event, HelloMD asked a handful of guests and vendors for comments on the gathering.\n\n**Cannabis attorney Daniel Dellafose**, who regularly attends industry events, said, “The event was great. All the vendors were really knowledgeable, and the comedy show was funny. All three comedians did an excellent job at keeping the crowd laughing.”\n\nDellafose, who has a solo private practice focusing on cannabis compliance, said he was in the second cohort at the [bayarealegalincubator.org](https://www.bayarealegalincubator.org/) and is “happy to be working in the cannabis industry.”\n\n\nChris Schroeder (right) with his Somatik team.\n\n**Entrepreneur Chris Schroeder**, founder of cannabis coffee company Somatik, Inc., said the event “was a perfect evening of cannabis exploration and social mixing. The Midway always makes for a beautiful venue, but the combination of craft vendors, great guests and comedy made it a night to remember.”\n\nSchroeder added that the event “was a great chance to introduce Somatik and our cold brew coffee to many new people, which is the first step in changing the conversation around cannabis and helping to reduce stigma and elevate the wellness benefits. This was our first Hello MD event, and I have a feeling we're going to be doing many more.” \n\nSchroeder, a Bay Area native, says he’s been working for local mission-driven companies his entire career. “I started Somatik because I wanted to elevate and normalize cannabis use. Our first product, coffee, is something so many people already have a relationship with; it was a great way to help demystify the experience. The name ‘Somatik’ comes from a Greek term promoting the balance of mind and body, which is something I think cannabis is fantastic in achieving.”\n\nAs for future events, HelloMD’s Hadfield said the company may sponsor a pop-up later in the year. Specific plans for 2018 will depend on the upcoming rules and regulations governing events in California, following passage of Proposition 64, which legalized recreational, or adult use, cannabis.\n\n“Stay tuned for announcements,” Hadfield said.\n\n[Companies represented at the HelloMD Laughter Haven event](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/59caa7214219283019163673/top-cannabis-brands-that-are-doing-it-right) include: Cannaderm; Dunlevie; Emerald Alchemy; Flow Kana; Guild Extracts; Kiva Confections; Marley Natural; Satori Chocolates; Sava; Somatik; Sprig; Vape Exhale; and The Venice Cookie Company. \n\nIf you’re new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Called “the pandora of stand-up comedy” by TechCrunch, Laugh.ly launched at the end of last summer with a repertoire of 400 different comedians and over 20,000 individual comedy tracks. The app features comedians ranging from your well-known favorites, like Kevin Hart, Louis CK, and Aziz Ansari, to up and coming acts who are just getting started in the world of stand up comedy. \n\nYou can listen to all of Laugh.ly’s tracks for free, including radio stations, genres and live comedy events that are featured on the app (and website). You can also choose from Laugh.ly’s wide range of stations, including “The Great American Joke” and “Workout Special”, or you can choose from their extensive list of genres. Laugh.ly also allows you to create your own playlists and includes social features, much like Spotify. \n\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\n\nIt’s free to spend you day giggling at the latest jokes by great comedic acts on Laugh.ly, though you can upgrade to a premium subscription if you want to avoid advertisements. We recently met the Founder of Laugh.ly, Dave Scott, at Launch Festival in San Francisco [where he gave an awesome pitch on the main stage](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHvejxU-Yz8). \n\nDave says, “Laugh.ly was created to give comedy fans the same access to comedy as music fans get through services like Pandora or Spotify. Sometimes, you want to hear some great comedy, but don't want to leave the house. Well Laugh.ly solves that by providing the largest library of stand-up comedy in the world.”\n\n[](http://laughly.com/auth.html#/welcome?_k=bymlwk)\nAn image from Laugh.ly's trending feed.\n \n### It’s Good for Your Health\n\nLaughter is a beautiful thing, and it can actually be good for you health too. Laughter does wonders for both your physical and mental health in many different ways. Laughing increases relaxation by releasing physical tension, easing muscles, and reducing anxiety and stress. \n\nLaughing can also help boost your immune system by decreasing stress hormones and increasing the amount of antibodies produced, which can help fight infection. It can also hep stimulate many of your organs because laughing brings in an increased amount of air. Laughing can help improve the functioning of blood vessels and increase blood flow, which can benefit cardiovascular function. \n\nRELATED: [10 ACTIVITIES TO DO WHILE SMOKING MARIJUANA](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/58dd99e573edf02ffb523706/10-fun-activities-to-try-when-smoking-marijuana)\n\nPossibly one of the most well known effects of laughter is its connection with the release of endorphins in the body that can help increase happiness and even reduce physical pain. Laughter can also help change your perspective, making stressful events seem less threatening and providing you with a more realistic view of a situation. Laugh.ly can stimulate laughter in your life and provide you with many of the amazing health benefits that laughter can bring to you. \n\n### The Best: Cannabis & Laughter\n\nCannabis and laughter also go hand in hand. Cannabis can help you laugh even harder with the great comedians featured on Laugh.ly. Cannabis can also aid in stress reduction and allows you to be more in the moment. A [study from the journal Experimental and Clinical Psychopharmacology](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17115869) has found that cannabis increases the blood flow to the left temporal lobe and the right frontal cortex, as well a slight increase to the cerebellum. The areas where blood flow is stimulated by cannabis are also areas of the brain that are related to laughter. Laughter is good for the mind, body, and soul. Cannabis can help you become even more relaxed and more free to giggle uncontrollably to some great stand-up comedy. \n\nIf you are new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.

Some of my favorite experiences have happened after smoking marijuana, and I know that can be the case for you too. If the compulsion to go full-on couch potato is too real for you, check out one of the following fun activities to do before or after consuming your favorite type of cannabis.\r\n\r\n### 1. Paint Alongside Bob Ross\r\n\r\n`embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HCsCatvigtw` \r\n\r\nGet out your paints and lay down some happy trees with Bob Ross. Please, don’t dis it until you try it. Actually, painting along with the late, legendary Bob Ross is a like a meditation in and of itself. Reminding you that “anyone can paint, all you need is a dream in your heart and a little bit of practice.\" R.I.P. Bob Ross.\r\n\r\nFOLLOW US ON [FACEBOOK](https://www.facebook.com/pg/hellomdcompany/posts/) & [INSTAGRAM](https://www.instagram.com/hellomd_com/?hl=en)\r\n\r\n### 2. Cook Delicious Food\r\n\r\n`embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unAOVy92a_8` \r\n\r\nI’m not sure who can say no to good eats after consuming cannabis. When the cravings for food hit, don’t just reach for the nacho cheese Doritos or hit the speed dial (I know it’s the pizza guy—your secret is safe with me). Instead, whip up a tasty stir-fry, or, if you’re more the Gordon Ramsey type, a savory gnocchi with peas and Parmesan to stave off the munchies.\r\n\r\n### 3. Virtual Reality With Cardboard\r\n\r\n`embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9GOyibr5Jn8` \r\n\r\nVirtual Reality, the latest evolution of visual media, is an awe-inspiring technology. Whether you’ve already experienced VR in some form or are completely new to the tech, it’s undeniably entertaining. The headsets are getting cheaper and cheaper, while cellphone setups like [Google’s Cardboard](https://store.google.com/product/google_cardboard?utm_source=en-ha-na-us-sem&utm_medium=desktop&utm_content=plas&utm_campaign=Cardboard&gl=us&gclid=CKmvrvzh9dICFZNafgodU0gMhw&sku=_google_cardboard_single) are just $15. I can think of no better way to peek into the future, than with your favorite strain.\r\n\r\n### 4. Listen to Other People’s Voicemail\r\n\r\n`embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MrPNrZgWGs` \r\n\r\nI’m not suggesting you do this in a creepy way. Watch this video for some laughs. A truck driver leaves a voicemail on a coworker’s phone when he sees an accident involving four old ladies, an angry driver and an umbrella. I really don’t want to give too much away on this one. Try not to laugh out loud, I dare you. \r\n\r\n### 5. Visit Your Local Planetarium or Observatory\r\n\r\n`embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUcv3ORj2jc` \r\n\r\nIf you’re more of Carl Sagan’s sort of cannasseur, then check out your local science museums and colleges for observatory hours or planetarium expositions. Learning about the vast expanses of space is one thing, but taking a look at it first hand is a humbling experience. Throw cannabis into the mix and allow your mind to expand right alongside the universe. In an increasingly mad and [dangerous world](http://420tribune.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/marijuana-quote-carl-sagan1-e1303944450131.jpg), I’m sure Carl Sagan would approve. \r\n\r\n### 6. Play With a Pet\r\n\r\n`embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M6_OZb9m4K4` \r\n\r\nWhat could be better than spending time with an adorable animal that loves you with an unconditional fever? Connecting with your best friend—be it cat, dog, squirrel or other—while consuming cannabis is a great way to pass the time and engage with your fur baby in a meaningful way. Cannabis is already known for increasing feelings of empathy and connection. Combine this with a loving mass of furry wiggles, and you’re sure to have a great time.\r\n\r\n### 7. Check Out Some Amazing Live Music\r\n\r\n`embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASzbEFotwYc`\r\n\r\nHit up your local venues or plan to go to a concert ahead of time. Cannabis affects the way we hear and perceive music in numerous ways. It can help you hear the beauty of each melody and allow you to grasp a more intense feeling of the arrangement as a whole. Rock out to your favorite artist or find a new local band that really gets you moving. Even better, check out a totally fresh genre while consuming your cannabis and connect to new music in a novel way.\r\n\r\n### 8. Try a New Activity\r\n\r\n`embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f92yfPFl9NY`\r\n\r\nI’m not suggesting you take on motocross, but if you’ve been afraid of shooting a basketball or never could get around to Zorbing, cannabis could actually increase your coordination (not for everyone though). Some strains do affect your coordination adversely, so it’s important to pick the right one. A smooth sativa, like Jack Herer, will give you a motivational boost to get out there and try something new, without being too hard on yourself or self-conscious about trying a brand new activity. \r\n\r\n### 9. Get a Thai Massage\r\n\r\n`embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kNVb3XVcxgs`\r\n\r\nRelieve stress on all fronts by using cannabis in combination with a relaxing Thai massage, where they do the stretching for you. It's kind of like the lazy person's yoga. Cannabis has already been shown to relieve muscle tension and reduce inflammation. Add this to an hour with a trained massage therapist and watch as all of your troubles and worries melt away into oblivion. This should almost be mandatory for any serious cannasseur. I know you have time Thursday afternoons; just schedule it in. Thank me later.\r\n\r\n### 10. Get Yourself Some Live Comedy\r\n\r\n`embed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xTbrM3ubUDU`\r\n\r\nCheck out your local venues for any comedy shows in the area. It’s hard to beat seeing your favorite act paired with your favorite strain. You can get a lot of mileage out of Netflix specials, though nothing compares to the raw laughs of a live show. Fun almost no matter the occasion. \r\n\r\nIf you're new to cannabis and want to learn more, take a look at our [Cannabis 101](https://www.hellomd.com/health-wellness/cannabis-101-your-quick-guide-to-medical-marijuana) post.
