6 How to Include People of Color and Women in the Cannabis Industry

6 How to Include People of Color and Women in the Cannabis Industry

Author: Jan Roberts March 11, 2019 Duration: 1:40:04

Rand Cameron Jr., Jan Roberts, LCSW, and Jahan Marcu, Ph.D., discuss three main topics:


1) The current shaping of NY State marijuana legalization and how it will effect the inclusion of people of color and women.


(2) This historical moment in time compared to ending prohibition and the agricultural industry during emancipation proclamation. And  (3) the importance of educating the public on the currently known medicinal applications of cannabis so that it is able to remain relevant when competing with the emerging recreational/ adult use market. The word of the day is “Anandamide” the endocannabinoid known as the bliss compound. And the gang plays a round of guessing the fake cannabis news headline at the end of the show. Other topics include recent science in the news such as THC/CBD brewed in yeast, Parrots that are terrorizing poppy fields in India, and some personal stories about the discovery of THC and the Endocannabinoid system. And fishing, we love talking about fishing on the show.
