About Apartment 113 Cannabis & Psychedelics Industry Podcast
Hang out at Apartment 113 with Rob and a different guest to talk shop about the industry and learn about all of the people that make it possible. Cultivation, manufacturing, extraction, accounting, consulting, media, events, education and more.
Listen in for a conversational look at the origins of different businesses and projects in the space along with unique perspectives and occasional tangents.
Episode 247 is the 45th episode of Season 4.
Today we're joined by Robb Harmon, founder of Veterans Cannabis Care and president of Marijuana Express M.D., a medical cannabis certification office outside Orlando that has seen about 8,000 patients since 2019. Veterans Cannabis Care covers the doctor visit and the state fees so qualified veterans can get a Florida medical card at no cost. Robb is not a veteran himself, but his father and brother both served and he has been giving back to the community.
In this one, Robb tells us how the free card program came together. He spent about a year hearing veterans in his office say they wanted to try cannabis and could not afford the card. He added a day with the doctor and opened it up for free. The first month, fewer than half of the veterans who signed up showed up. The monthly event is now booked months out.
He walks us through what happens in that room. Each veteran gets about twenty minutes with the doctor and a first lesson in reading a COA, starting with the terpenes instead of the THC number. The room is full of other veterans on purpose. We wrap up with his November 29 event at a VFW in Orlando, where 100 veterans get cards and nothing is for sale.

Episode 246 - Hilary Brown, SōRSE Technology
Episode 246 is the 44th episode of Season 4.
Today we're joined by Hilary Brown, the Director of Research and Development at SōRSE Technology, which makes water-soluble cannabis emulsions for beverages and edibles. She came up through pastry kitchens and ran her own chocolate company. When Washington legalized, people went looking for chocolatiers, and that is how she ended up in cannabis. She formulated edibles for a Seattle producer, where she helped build the Mr. Moxey's mints line. She joined SōRSE in 2019, where she and her team put the emulsions into finished products and test how they hold up.
In this one, Hilary tells us how chocolate brought her into cannabis. She was doing the chocolates for a restaurant group's pop-up, and a couple of weeks later the chefs showed up at the kitchen with distillate to see what would happen. "Everybody got way too high."
She started her first cannabis job with a $50,000 tempering machine nobody had used yet, and took it apart to find out how much chocolate stayed stuck inside. She walks us through how she builds a product, starting from a flavor she finds interesting and then finding the form that carries it best. She explains why cannabis flavors run a step behind the rest of the food world. She tells us to taste with other people so you end up with the same words for a strawberry. We wrap up with her culinary trick for truly smelling a sample.

Episode 245 - Breeder Piff, Piff Coast Farms
Episode 245 is the 43rd episode of Season 4.
Today we're joined by Lance DiMaria, better known as Breeder Piff, the founder of Piff Coast Farms, a New York seed brand built around the East Coast haze lines. He started as a hobby grower on the forums, gave seeds to his friends and went full time in 2020. He says he holds more than 250 mothers and runs his cuts in facilities in New York and New Jersey for the legal market. He also puts on PiffCon, the haze competition and convention he started in New York.
In this one, Piff tells us what haze means in New York. Most of the world knows the terpinolene hazes, and the Piff is a different plant that smells like the incense they light in church. He ordered all the hazes he could find from the seed banks and kept getting terpinolene. He went to the neighborhoods it came from and tracked it back to the growers. A friend gave him his first Cuban Black Haze clone and he built his library from there. He crossed it to Blue Dream to make Harlem Dreams, the plant a lot of his later work runs through. Now he is hunting a Piff that finishes in 55 to 63 days for the commercial market. "It's all about the hunt, man."
He tells us how PiffCon grew from a breeder meetup of about 300 people into a convention that now draws thousands. We wrap up with his low-trellis tips for home growers and where to catch him this fall and at PiffMas in December.
