BEST SMOKE ON THE AIR

We love the activists on the medical marijuana scene, but you can’t attend one of the Bay’s many cannabis expos without noting that the vast majority of attendees are of the male persuasion. This is precisely what tickles us green about Merry Toppins and Vaperonica Dee’s weekly Mutiny Radio podcast Cannabis Cuts. The young women spend hours intelligently dissecting the pot news of the day, playing chilled-out stoner tunes, and conducting smooth interviews with many of the area’s Mary Jane movers and shakers. “We’re changing the idea that there could be a profile of a standard cannabis activist,” Dee told us in a recent interview. And, since public perception of stoners could be the one thing that’ll change repressive federal policy, that’s an important sound byte, indeed.
