What comes to mind when you hear the word “Stoner?” In today’s episode of Weed Words, we look back on the evolution of the word — from its shame-ridden roots in the early 20th century to its, well, rebrand! Over the last decade, cannabis enthusiasts have begun to reclaim the term as they speak out about having happier, healthier, and more productive lives that include weed. But even as cannabis is quickly legalizing and the meaning of the word is changing, not everyone has hopped on the bandwagon quite yet. Tune in for more exploration.

Thank you to our guest Alyssa Yeoman.
