62. Cannabis Social Equity, Psilocybin Reform & the Drug War’s Legacy
In this sweeping episode of The High Guide, April Pride draws a potent line from past to present—tracing how U.S. drug policy has historically harmed communities of color and how cannabis and psychedelics are reshaping that narrative. With guests like Raeven Duckett and Lee Maddox, April dives into the origins and impact of cannabis social equity programs, the racial disparities in drug enforcement, and why the psychedelic renaissance must not replicate cannabis' blind spots. The episode also offers a deep-dive review of Liberty Cap mushrooms and practical trip tips for anyone on a healing journey.
🔵 Key Takeaways
-Oakland pioneered cannabis equity licenses to support communities harmed by the war on drugs.
-Despite legalization, Black and Latino people still face disproportionate cannabis arrests.
-Meth’s evolution into P2P form explains today’s mental health crisis on city streets.
-Psilocybin is gaining traction as a trauma treatment, especially for veterans and first responders.
-Liberty Caps are potent psilocybin mushrooms—great for experienced users, not beginners.
