Hello everyone and welcome to A Pretty Normal Podcast, a show that re-imagines what society considers normal. Each week I interview different guests about the topics they’re most passionate about. This week I wanted to focus my attention on the mystery behind the origin of the worldwide unofficial stoner holiday known as 4/20. I also dive into the the economic and medicinal benefits of marijuana legalization. Being that this entire month of April is technically 4/20, what better day than 4.20.20 to talk about the history of 4/20 and where the cannabis plant stands in a few countries.Citation:What Are the Benefits of Marijuana?Harvard Health Blog - Medical MarijuanaThe Potential Benefits of Medical Marijuana | Dr. Alan Shackelford | TEDxCincinnatiAndrew Yang Speech These states now have legal weed, and which states could follow suit in 2020“Good people don’t smoke marijuana” -Senator Jeff Sessions Two-thirds of Americans support marijuana legalization4/20: Five Myths and One Truth About the Unofficial Holiday420 Meaning: The True Story Of How April 20 Became ‘Weed Day’Mexico’s legalization of hemp, marijuana could be ‘quite significant’ for US marketsCanada Defends Marijuana Legalization In Response To International SkepticismReefer Madness ClipThank you to everyone who supports the show and has shared the show with a friend or a loved one. Subscribe to the show and follow us on Facebook // Instagram // Twitter // YoutubeRemember to leave us a rating and review if you enjoy the content brought to you every week.
