In this jam-packed episode of MiCannaCast, hosts CannaDave and Groovee finally sit down after a whirlwind summer of cannabis culture, music, and events. This one’s for the real heads: part review, part industry roundtable, part storytelling session – all unfiltered.
We kick things off with a Best in Grass review of Candela’s Live Resin Moonrocks (Log Cabin x Apollo).

What starts out as an exciting product quickly turns into a sticky adventure: clogged grinders, resin everywhere, and a brutally honest breakdown of how it smokes, tastes, and whether it’s worth your time. Expect candid scores, nostalgic talk about tarantula joints, and a lot of laughs as the sticky mess takes over the studio.

From there, the conversation widens into Michigan’s cannabis industry:

• Why the market is oversaturated with weed but short on cash flow (“too much weed, not enough green”)

• CRA fines, regulations, and whether enforcement is helping or hurting

• The wave of big companies leaving Michigan – and why community, quality, and brand loyalty matter more than giant facilities and hype names.

• What it takes to survive in a market where everyone has “fire” but only a few build a real following, and

Because it’s MiCannaCast, there’s plenty of life outside the smoke too:

• Big Dub Festival & Harem Recap – the people, the music, the vibes

• Groovy’s intense and transformative sweat lodge ceremony (and why it’s not for the faint of heart)

• Summer event plans include Summer & Smoke Out in the UP, grassroots cannabis events, giveaways, and more

This episode is a ride through sticky moonrocks, candid cannabis truths, and the real culture that fuels the community.
