Ready to take your hosting skills to the next level? In part 2 of host Ellen Scanlon’s conversation with Jamie Evans, we dive deeper into the art of cannabis hospitality—think infused weddings, low-dose cocktails, and events where everyone feels welcome. Jamie shares her best advice for mixing cannabis and alcohol responsibly, tips for labeling and dosing, and the small details that make a cannabis gathering feel elevated and safe. We also talk about how cannabis drinks are changing social rituals and why low-dose beverages are such a great option if you’re new to cannabis or just want a lighter experience. If you’ve ever wondered how to host a memorable cannabis event—from backyard parties to elegant receptions—this episode has you covered.

Jamie Evans shares her recipe for Cantaloupe Agua Fresca from her book, High Times Cannabis Cocktails. It’s really a perfect summer drink - fresh, hydrating and easy to make.  You can customize the THC level to whatever feels right for you by adding Off Duty, a fast-acting cannabis shot from 1906. It’s unflavored, low-dose, and blends seamlessly into any drink. If you want to try it, head to 1906.shop and use the promo code DOTHEPOT for 15% off your order. I’d love to hear what you think if you try it! 

Ellen Scanlon’s How to Do the Pot is an award-winning conversation that demystifies cannabis with a focus on women’s experiences. This isn’t a technical manual or a dry lecture; it’s a space where curiosity meets practical, joyful advice. The podcast explores how cannabis can intersect with health, well-being, and daily life, tackling questions that often go unasked. You’ll hear specific discussions about finding the right strain for relaxation or intimacy, using CBD for menstrual discomfort, and the nuanced differences between varieties like Harlequin and Gelato. There’s a deliberate and thoughtful choice in language here, too, favoring the term “cannabis” over other outdated labels. At its heart, the series amplifies personal stories and expert insights, creating a resource that feels both informative and deeply relatable. Whether you’re seeking relief, exploring for fun, or just want to understand the landscape better, this podcast provides a welcoming and smart guide through the often overwhelming world of cannabis, all from a perspective that is genuinely for women and by women.
