Comedian Jeff Horste can’t live without the weed product

Detroit native Jeff Horste has made his mark on the comedy stage. He has performed at countless venues – including dispensaries – and has appeared on Comedy Central in Kevin Hart’s “Hart in the City” along with Hart’s half-hour special “The Next Level in Los Angeles.” And of course he jokes about Weedmaps’ tumbleweeds with Killer Mike.

He had his first experience with cannabis at the age of 23. “It didn’t work for me,” he told us, “I had literally no impact from it. I think I did a Bill Clinton and forgot to inhale. A few years later, my friend told me that it was quite common for people not to feel it the first few times they smoked. It was kind of disappointing to find out that I didn’t have any special powers, but I ended up enjoying weed and its benefits a lot.”

Though his first time wasn’t the best of times, cannabis has grown on the comedian over the years. “I know many successful people in various respected professions who use weed as a stress and anxiety management tool. As it is far less harmful to you than alcohol, I have always been shocked by its negative portrayal in the media. As with many things in life, much of the negative imagery comes from those who have never tried it for themselves.”

His funniest weed moment? Go out on Halloween nights and watch the hilariously costumed dogs parade. “My girlfriend and I love Halloween,” he said. “One of the main reasons is the various dog Halloween costume contests. We get high, take an Uber and enjoy the show. The only odd thing about our visit is that we are the only ones without a dog. We get free pet product coupons and free dog treats assuming we have dogs, and we usually decide it’s best not to correct them.

Horste is currently working on two podcasts, That’s My Shit and We’re Freaking Out, with his girlfriend Esther Nevarez. You can also catch him performing live anywhere in the US.

The one weed product Jeff Horste can’t live without? kanha gummies.

Kanha gummies

“I enjoy weed gummies and my favorite is the Kanha brand. Being a vegan myself, I appreciate that they have vegan, fast-acting options. My girlfriend reminds me how fortunate I am to start consuming weed at a time when stems and seeds were no longer an issue. I feel like I started weed during the golden era of weed technological advancements.”
