Mike Rita Sessions 11 - Naomi Poley

What can I say about this week's guest other then she has become a complete legend in Canadian Cannabis over the past decade for her incredibly well put opinions and her no hold back attitude.

I first met Naomi Poley, a retired nurse and current pot activist, in 2008 at the age of 18 and she must have been at least 50 years old and she could out smoke me so bad already that it was inspirational to watch and sesh with her. A millions stories, a million tokes and a million laughs I've had the honour of sharing with this long time activist and badass bitch! Enjoy!!!

This week's guest is possibly the only stand up comedian in Canada that can out smoke me! Nitish Sakuja has quickly become one of the most sought after acts in Canada with his tireless touring and killer act. This stoner comedian is the real deal. Nitty and I talk about what it's like to be the comedian in the family, and how coming from traditional immigrant families can be tough for comedians. We also enjoy some Astro Pink Brand weed that leaves us both having a laugh.

Thanks for listening!
