Episode 8 - Old Foes or Our New Frenemies?
Kris Krane, Shanita Penny and Adam Smith join host Dan 'grassroots' Goldman as they look at the recent calls to rethink the criminalization of drugs made by former Attorney General Eric Holder and the surprisingly enlightened comments from the current Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse, Dr. Nora Volkow.
Later we turn our attention to the Library of Congress exhibit highlighting the racism that was central to the origins of cannabis criminalization. And then we are joined by Dr. Amanda Reiman for a new segment we're calling "Ask A Canna Scientist."
And of course, we'll have our Big Finish! We cover all this and more on the best cannabis news analysis podcast in the business. Everyone knows what happened in Marijuana Today, but you need to know what’s happening in Marijuana Tomorrow!”
