On this podcast, you’ll hear stories from industry experts, medical professionals, policy makers, cannabis users and others across the world who can teach us a thing or two about cannabis. Weed, pot, dope - Cannabis has many different names and frequently people's perception of it is negative. Sometimes from a first hand encounter, but far too often from the tall tales we are told as we grow up. Despite the stereotypes of lazy potheads and reefer madness, over a third of Australians have tried cannabis, and 1 in 10 Australians use it regularly.

Behind the Dispensary Counter w/ Jessica-Li Verschoor (Plant Pharm, Green St Dispensary)

In this episode of Give & Toke, Paul speaks with the 2025 Cannabiz Awards Industry Newcomer of the Year about her journey into plant medicine at Green Street Dispensary and Plant Pharm in Western Australia.

Jessica-Li shares how her pharmacy background shapes her approach to cannabis, the role of social media in education and stigma reduction, and why so many people are asking how to break into the industry. We also explore what sets WA’s cannabis landscape apart — and how her personal view of the plant has evolved.
