The P.L.A.N.T.S. for Lyfe Team focuses on the history of cannabis in America. Listeners will learn why cannabis became an illegal substance and why it continues to be illegal. You will immediately hear that greed and racism are at the heart of the prohibition of this medicinal plant. The pharmaceutical company is the largest lobbying entity in the US and works to continue to keep cannabis off the legal market. The truth of this difficult topic may cause some to feel uncomfortable as we hear about the reasons for the war on drugs, the Controlled Substance Act, the 13th Amendment and the profitable prison industrial complex. The pending legislation called the M.O.R.E Act is explained which proposes that cannabis should be taxed to support social equity programs, release of prisoners for non-violent cannabis charges and expungement of records. All medical schools and nursing schools should be taught about the endocannabinoid system and the medicinal benefits of cannabis. Politicians need to be educated as well as the general public. Voting, being educated and staying involved is a must to bring these important changes to the laws in this country.
