Why are “cannabis restaurants” popping up in a state where marijuana is still illegal? Host Grace Fuisz sits down with Matthew McClure, the keeper of Benny the CannaBUS, to explain what’s actually being sold in Nashville and why the cannabis industry has so much freedom in the state of Tennessee. We’re going to do our best to explain the difference between Delta-8, Delta-9, and Delta-10 and what exactly THCA is, among all the other lingo you need to know. Thanks to Tecovas, our Western wear faves, for being our exclusive launch sponsor!
