Where are you listening from?

Manny's positive outlook is infectious.  He started making soap as a fundraiser to buy himself a new wheelchair and has been growing his business ever since. In this episode we cover everything from the trick to convert a heat gun into a homemade vaporizer, using the roots of cannabis plant in infusions and what every beginner soap maker should do and much more!

• Maximize the the use of your cannabis infused soap: turn on the shower as hot as you can handle to open the pores, turn off the water, lather up completely and let the lather stay on your on your skin for 15-20 seconds. Turn the water back on and rinse.
