Newsflash; 2020 has been a heck of a year! Since Different Leaf the Podcast started just a few weeks before the COVID-19 pandemic began, we've been here to track exactly how this year impacted the world of weed.

For our End Of The Year episode, we're checking back in with some amazing guests from our earlier episodes.

In episode 4, when the recreational pot shops first closed down in Massachusetts, host Brit Smith talked to Dr. Peter Grinspoon about what consumers had to do if they couldn't afford a medical card, and how people with a history of addiction, like Brit and Dr Grinspoon, could remain steady during the pandemic.

In episode 8, as tensions grew over the police-involved killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, Brit had an important conversation with Niambe McIntosh, daughter of reggae legend Peter Tosh, about the impact of the war on drugs on communities of color.

And in episode 10, we got to learn from cannabis educator Emma Chasen, who taught us the science of how cannabis gets humans high.
