It’s no secret that cannabis has attracted a lot of attention from politicians looking for a career change… and it begs a lot of questions. Is it profit-driven? Truly causing a change of hearts?

Fun Fact… this might also be the first time our hosts disagree on a topic and dive into the nuances of their shared and not so shared viewpoints. This is definitely a “can’t miss” episode.

Media and Journalism are NOT the same thing… Media is traditionally full of fluff articles, good news, and clickbait. Journalism is usually the thing that acts as the fourth branch of the government: An institution that is geared toward digging to find the truth in all things and acting as a check or balance against the industry doing bad.
