About the Show

Two Curious Travelers. One Big Question.

We're Lacee and Mike — a married couple with a shared love of travel, culture, and asking the questions most people are too polite to ask out loud.

Budding Adventures takes us across America to explore what cannabis culture actually looks like on the ground — from the thriving dispensary scenes in legal states to the underground communities where it's still a gray area.

No agenda. No judgment. Just two people with a camera, a microphone, and a genuine curiosity about how this plant is reshaping American culture, one state at a time.
