43.The B Show - Locavore Digested, Chickweed, and Cannabis in the News

This week, the team spent a little time reviewing last week’s show on the Locavore Movement with Leda Hermecz then moved on to answer an herbal 101 question and Cannabis in the news.

What is Medical Marijuana?: Clarifying Clinical Cannabis (Walgreen’s blog article)
Cannabis: An Herbalist’s Guide to Using Medicinal Marijuana (The Practical Herbalist’s Advanced Herbal Folio Book 1)

We answered a question from Danielle on Chickweed.

We talked about an article published April 2016 in HuffPost Business on The Huffington Post by Andy Campbell entitled, “Walgreens Broaches Possible Health Benefits of Medical Marijuana.“

Leda Hermecz

In 2014, Leda introduced the 100-mile concept inspired by her trip to Italy. The 100-mile Bakery, which serves over 75 customers daily, marks the first business in Oregon to utilize seasonal foods grown within 100 miles.

Within five years, Leda plans to open a farm and grow her own ingredients for the bakery. Leda is determined to provide a unique take on food in hopes to inspire the community to source locally. Leda claims, “The Willamette Valley has the most amazing vegetable growers in the nation and because we can source locally it feels necessary to show people.”
