267. Highs & Lows: Cannabis Election Recap + Celebrating How to Do the Pot's Anthem Award!

Author: Ellen Scanlon November 19, 2024 Duration: 10:10
The election news about cannabis isn't great, and in today’s episode we’ll explain what happened. Adult-use legalization measures failed in Florida, North Dakota, and South Dakota, and the DEA has delayed its decision on rescheduling cannabis to early 2025 under the new administration. On a brighter note, we’re very excited that How to Do the Pot has won an Anthem Award! Stay tuned as we break down these key developments in cannabis policy and look ahead to what we can expect in the coming months.

Ellen Scanlon’s How to Do the Pot is an award-winning conversation that demystifies cannabis with a focus on women’s experiences. This isn’t a technical manual or a dry lecture; it’s a space where curiosity meets practical, joyful advice. The podcast explores how cannabis can intersect with health, well-being, and daily life, tackling questions that often go unasked. You’ll hear specific discussions about finding the right strain for relaxation or intimacy, using CBD for menstrual discomfort, and the nuanced differences between varieties like Harlequin and Gelato. There’s a deliberate and thoughtful choice in language here, too, favoring the term “cannabis” over other outdated labels. At its heart, the series amplifies personal stories and expert insights, creating a resource that feels both informative and deeply relatable. Whether you’re seeking relief, exploring for fun, or just want to understand the landscape better, this podcast provides a welcoming and smart guide through the often overwhelming world of cannabis, all from a perspective that is genuinely for women and by women.
