Joy Beckerman, a living legend in the world of cannabis, is Max & Steven’s special guest. Joy has spent the last 30 years enjoying, sharing, and advocating for the plant that she believes has the power and promise to repair the world. She takes us on a journey through time to better understand how we got to where we are and offers a vision for the future. Joy also answers a few listener questions. Be prepared to run out and buy yourself some hemp because Joy certainly makes a strong case for it!

Hemp foods is the topic of this episode so Max & Steven step in as the "special guests" because their main guest has a last minute emergency. The guys creatively weave in a hemp foods trivia question, “What is the difference between hemp oil and CBD oil?” Listeners come to the rescue with answers and are rewarded with a Max & Steven’s CBD Roll-On! Also, our very own Doc G. jumps in early to answer some listener questions.

Max & Steven talk to Eric Hurlock, host and producer of The Lancaster Farming Industrial Hemp Podcast, an offshoot of the Lancaster Farming Newspaper, which has been the premiere source of agricultural news for generations. Eric is fresh off his 6-week American Hemp Road Trip, which he took with his wife and 2 kids, to share and highlight the benefits of hemp as an industrial crop which has the potential to help solve some of the biggest problems globally. Eric shares his stories from the road and offers critical insights into what it’s going to take to move the hemp grain and fiber industry forward. Plus, he speaks candidly about why he has a bone to pick with the CBD market. Listen to learn more.
