The rapper and actor is launching Lasagna Ganja, a weekly podcast about the world of cannabis. He will co-host the podcast, which comes from DCP Entertainment, with cannabis advocate Tammy The Cannabis Cutie.
The series, which launches on October 5, will delve into all the layers of the multifaceted cannabis world, from the complicated history and misconceptions of cannabis and the plant’s influence and impact on culture, music, entertainment and more, to the latest trends, scientific breakthroughs, and political issues.
It will also feature reviews of selected products.
It marks the first podcast for Xzibit, best known for songs such as What U See Is What U Get and appearances in movies such as The Bad Lieutenant. He also founded cannabis brand Napalm and later became Creative Director of Buddies Brand.
Tammy, the Cannabis Cutie, otherwise known as Tammy Pettigrew is behind Cannabis Cutie Education, which delivers accessible, engaging, and informative cannabis education via online learning.
Guest include Jerry Krecicki, AKA “Jerry K,” owner of Quickies Wraps, and Elliot Lewis, CEO of Catalyst Farms.
“Cannabis has been a major part of my life, in my professional pursuits and my personal consumption. This series is a powerful platform to educate listeners and unpack the many misconceptions about cannabis, and also a way to share my personal journey into the cannabis industry,” said Xzibit. “I’m looking forward to bringing on some of my closest friends and experts to discuss how cannabis has shaped their lives, reflect on the industry’s progress, and enjoy some good laughs along the way.”
“Many are quick to dismiss the use of cannabis in everyday life, but I have dedicated my career to exploring this fascinating plant, and am here to show through an informed lens just how much of an asset it can be,” added Tammy, the Cannabis Cutie. “Hosting the Lasagna Ganja podcast is another way I can educate audiences on its social and adult-use advantages, as well as explore how it can be a catalyst for entrepreneurship.”
“At DCP Entertainment we create podcasts that are relevant, informative and entertaining, while elevating the voices and issues of underrepresented communities. The Lasagna Ganja podcast is the perfect hybrid of pot culture, pop culture and education,” said Chris Colbert, CEO of DCP Entertainment. “Xzibit and Tammy, The Cannabis Cutie are truly the ideal hosts for the Lasagna Ganja podcast, as their understanding of the cannabis industry comes from many different angles and experiences, bringing a fun and balanced mix to the series.”
