Cannabis and Quality: What Are You Actually Buying? with Intrinsic CEO Wes Lutz!

Ryan sits down with Wes Lutz, CEO of Intrinsic, a major Michigan cannabis manufacturer and processor, for a behind-the-scenes look at how cannabis products are evolving as the legal market matures. Wes shares how his background in the automotive industry shaped his approach to cannabis manufacturing, why consistency and purity matter at scale, how consumer expectations are changing, and where the industry may be heading next. The conversation explores distillate and THCA isolate, vape technology, terpenes, testing, the limitations of traditional indica and sativa labels, and why “highest THC” may not be the smartest way to shop for cannabis. Ryan and Wes also discuss the growing interest in microdosing, lifestyle-focused products, and how consumers can ask better questions and make more informed choices at the dispensary. Whether you’re an experienced cannabis consumer or simply trying to better understand what’s on the shelf, this episode is about becoming a more educated and intentional cannabis consumer.

Cannabis and the Future of Federal Policy with Jim Higdon

Cannabis policy is changing fast—but where is it actually headed? In this episode, Ryan sits down with Jim Higdon, co-founder of Cornbread Hemp and author of The Cornbread Mafia, for a timely conversation about the future of cannabis and hemp in America. Jim breaks down the fight unfolding in Washington over hemp, why he believes Schedule III is an important step but descheduling must ultimately be the goal, and how cannabis could eventually be regulated and distributed more like alcohol. They also explore a potentially transformative development: the emerging pathway for Medicare and private insurance reimbursement of cannabinoid products—and what it could someday mean for patients purchasing medical cannabis with a copay. Plus, Jim shares his perspective on banking reform, interstate commerce, building successful cannabis brands, and what businesses and consumers should be watching as federal policy enters a pivotal new chapter.
