The Roll-Up features co-hosts Bruce Barcott and Alyssa Yeoman in a Friday morning roundtable about the week’s top cannabis news.

Episode 118: Why NFL players are embracing CBD

This week: It’s not just about pain relief: Bruce meets a former NFL All-Pro linebacker who recovered his body and mind with help from cannabinoid supplements.

Meet our sponsor, the NorCal Cannabis Company

Check out their website, it’s got this crazy animation going on, as well as some cool videos. They’ve got six retail stores in California, make 2,000 deliveries daily, and grow 12 tons of cannabis every year. Twelve tons! You know how much an ounce of cannabis is, right? They grow 384,000 of those every year. Respect.

WTF is this all about now?

Every Friday the Roll-Up crew—Bruce Barcott, Alyssa Yeoman, and special guests—dissect the week’s top stories in cannabis with analysis, arguments, jokes, and obscure cultural references. It’s a news and culture podcast, slightly elevated.
