Meet Micah Tatum, President of Infinity Broadcast network, which produces Cannabis Broadcast Station (CBS). The station's variety of shows are available on Roku, YouTube and in over 130 dispensaries nationwide.



Based in the Los Angeles area, Micah is a graduate of Chapman University's George L. Argyros School of Business and Economics. He has extensive background in online marketing and advertising, social media, film, event management, strategic partnerships and production.


Beyond his professional experience, Micah's involvement in the cannabis industry also hits close to home. We caught up with the cannapreneur to learn more about Cannabis Broadcast Station, what inspires him and where he sees the industry heading.

1. Why did you get involved in the cannabis industry? What motivates you?


There were only a couple of reasons why initially I got into the cannabis industry. Then, after getting involved, those reasons grew.



My wife has had lupus for more than 25 years and up until the last three, she was dramatically running out of options to help with her conditions. As I began to research to help her, cannabis started to look like a huge option. I introduced her to a few CBD options, [a] handful of THC/CBD products, various delivery methods of those products and found a regiment that worked for her.


What we began to see was a small quality of life improvement — whether it was a week or just a couple of days, it was better than before, and that’s all that mattered.


Furthermore, there is such a bad stigma surrounding cannabis and you could say we had a great experience with it, so I feel there is a responsibility to share the benefits of what cannabis can do for others. If there are others suffering with lupus, it’s our opportunity to help improve their quality of life, even if it’s just by one day. The education, my wife, and the people all motivate me.

2. Can you tell us about Cannabis Broadcast Station? Where do you draw your inspiration? What is your mission?


Cannabis Broadcast Station is a platform to deliver high-quality information, education, news, and entertainment. We are unique in the industry because the blueprint we have laid [is one] not a lot of media outlets have chosen.


Most media delivered in this industry is textual, while ours is visual. We are striving to be the Golf/CNN channel of cannabis. We are broadcasted in more than 130 dispensaries across the U.S. and reach over 7 million impressions a month. Our Roku station is highly active daily, and our Youtube channel is consistently growing as with the rest of our social media.


Our inspiration is drawn for the need to deliver the news in this industry as often as the rules change and education for as much as it changes people's lives. In today’s society, everyone wants their news delivered quickly and under three minutes. No one wants to read what is going on — they want a summary to be in-the-know while still making money or cooking dinner.


As of right now, that’s what our main focus is. The Cannabis Newsroom is our show [dedicated] to accomplishing our mission of briefing the world on what is happening in this industry.

3. What advice do you have for pioneers in the cannabis space?


Be progressive, keep setting the bar in the industry and continue to break the stigma of cannabis, because it’s much more than what the past has told us.

4. Where do you see yourself and the industry in 5 years?


In five years, I see Cannabis Broadcast Station as a major network — a household name across the world. I would like the industry to have reached a point where medication is paid for by insurance companies, but I’m not sure if we will be at that point.


Cannabis Broadcast Station is available for download on Roku and can be followed on YouTube.

The Evolution Of The Classic Stoner Character in Movies and TV


It’s taken TV and movies featuring stoner characters a long time to catch up with the reality of marijuana culture in the United States. Historically, Hollywood has ignored cannabis all together, then demonized it, misrepresented it, and used it as an easy punchline, before finally giving way to the more nuanced, low-key reality of life in a country where over half its states have legalized the drug for medical or recreational use.

Here, The Bluntness charts the changing depiction of marijuana users in film and TV over the last 85 years or so, and digs in to what these stoner movies might tell us about the changing cultural attitudes around pot in pop culture.

If you have ever consumed magic mushrooms or truffles, then you know they don’t always have the most pleasant taste, in fact, some of them are like eating a mouthful of dirt.  

However, with the recent rise of popularity through legalization, decriminalization, and the public becoming more aware of the benefits and potential good that comes with these psilocybin-packed fungi, we see why people may overlook the flavor.

Weed Makes Me Introspective: When Cannabis Causes Us to Reconsider Our Life Choices

Pot Prompts Self-Reflection

Being stoned comes with a wealth of side effects – some of which are just part of the fun, while others have been known to get smeared all over a person’s psyche, causing them to gawk out the window every thirty seconds to see if the cops are coming up the stairs.

Perhaps the least discussed byproduct of the bud, however, is its uncanny ability to send the user into a maddening state of introspection. Cannabis can make individuals more attuned to their bodily sensations, emotions, and inner thoughts, which can contribute to this introspective state. Weed can often inspire the high-minded to start questioning their life choices, setting them on a path of self-doubt, self-loathing, and self-destruction.

Iranian Weed: Epic Mag Strain

The sprawling mountains of Iran bloom with native flora every year: elms and ironwood trees, tulips and daffodils, even something called Dwarf Eelgrass. But scattered throughout the forests and flowerbeds, like in neighboring Afghanistan and Pakistan, another flower has been thriving for thousands of years: cannabis.

Through Iranian genetics sourcing, cannabis in Iran is collected from specific regions, emphasizing the unique and wild plant varieties. Mag Landrace is just one of the Persian nation’s homegrown strains, beloved for its intense indica effects, deep green and purple hues, and abundance of trichomes, resins and oils that make it ideal for smoking and hash-making. It’s finally in the states and available for patients and casual users alike to discover and delight in, and here’s why.
