In discussing Reefer Madness this week, we join the hallowed ranks of Podcasts About Weed. Finally! Did you know that there are actually 2 movies called Reefer Madness?

Ty starts with the effects of Astroturf on the mind and body. What actually happens when you partake of the Devil’s Lettuce?
Molly explores the history of marijuana in the U.S. and how Jazz Cabbage came to be as reviled as it is amongst the unhip olds.
