RANKED AS THE ‘#1 CANNABIS CHANNEL TO WATCH’

THE YOUTUBE CHANNEL WAS DELETED!

The Strain Show YouTube channel has been deleted after receiving a third strike - this has been devastating.

Nearly a decade of work, hundreds of educational videos, and a community of over 415,000 subscribers were suddenly erased from the platform.

This channel became a huge part of my life, and it was something I was really proud of. It gave me a way to teach people, connect with people, and help normalize honest education around cannabis, a medicinal plant that helps millions of responsible adults live better lives.

I am not done, and I am not walking away.

I will be fighting to get the channel back, and if I have to start a new channel, I will. Thankfully, I have my videos backed up on hard drives, so they are not gone. The platform may have deleted the channel, but they did not delete the message, the community, or the reason I started doing this in the first place.

For now, the best way to stay updated is to join the mailing list and the Strain Show Discord. That is where I will share updates about the appeal, future uploads and re-uploads, new live streams, and everything that comes next.

Thank you so much for watching the videos, sharing them, joining streams, sending messages, and helping me teach so many people about this amazing plant.

This has been hard to accept, but the support from this community reminds me why the Strain Show mattered in the first place.

DEA CAUGHT BREAKING THE LAW, BUT REMAINS IN CONTROL OF RESCHEDULING CANNABIS

Despite allegations of misconduct and illegal communications with anti-cannabis groups, the DEA remains in control of the marijuana rescheduling process. Learn why this controversial decision is sparking outrage and what it means for cannabis reform.

How Long Does THC Stay in Your System?

Cannabis is fat-soluble, meaning that THC is stored in your body’s fat cells. Once you consume cannabis, the THC gets absorbed into your fat and released slowly over time. This is why the detection window is so much longer for cannabis than for other substances. And it’s also why factors like body fat, metabolism, and how often you consume cannabis all play a big role in how long it stays in your system.

Top 10 Terpenes in Cannabis and What They Do

When you’re choosing a strain, knowing the dominant terpenes can give you a much better idea of how it’ll make you feel than just looking at the THC percentage.

Let’s check out the top 10 most common terpenes and see what they bring to the table.

THC Tests Are Often Wrong, Here’s Why

The truth is, THC testing isn’t as reliable as we’d like to think. Whether it’s growers hand-picking the best buds for testing or labs being incentivized to provide favorable results, the numbers on your product label might not reflect the actual potency. The next time you see a strain boasting 30% THC, remember—it might not be what you’re actually getting.

These Vape Carts Can Kill You

I’ve worked in the cannabis industry for nearly a decade, and vape carts are the worst product I've ever seen. These can literally KILL you if you get the wrong one, and even legal and tested vapes aren't always safe.

Indicas And Sativas Are The Same Thing

When scientists finally got around to testing cannabis at a molecular level, they found that the effects of cannabis have almost nothing to do with whether it’s labeled as Indica or Sativa. Their studies showed that strains labeled as Indica were often just as similar to Sativa strains as they were to other Indica strains.

Study: Medical Cannabis Doesn’t Change Brain Function or Structure

A new study published in JAMA Network Open has some incredible findings for medical cannabis users. The research, conducted by experts from Harvard Medical School and MIT’s McGovern Institute for Brain Research, shows that long-term medical cannabis use does not lead to changes in brain structure or cognitive function.

Why Early American Colonizers Never Smoked Weed

Early Americans, even though they grew cannabis, never actually smoked it. Americans have been cultivating cannabis since the country’s founding, but the idea of lighting up a joint was the last thing on their minds.

Salvia: The Rise And Fall Of An INSANE Legal High

Salvia is one of the most curious and powerful psychedelics out there, and for a while, you could buy it in headshops all across the US. This availability led to a wave of viral YouTube videos showcasing its effects, as well as some tragic incidents that ultimately pushed for its prohibition in many states.
