  On this week's hemp podcast we discuss a recent amendment to the House draft of the 2024 Farm Bill known as the Miller Amendment, which was introduced by Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill. The amendment effectively bans all hemp products with any amount of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the naturally occurring chemical compound found in the cannabis plant. The 2018 Farm Bill defined hemp as any cannabis with less than 0.3% THC. But because of vague guidance from the Drug Enforcement Administration and Food and Drug Administration, a cottage market has developed for intoxicating products from otherwise legal hemp, such as delta-8. In March, 21 attorneys general from around the country signed a statement imploring Congress to close this perceived loophole, saying these unregulated, intoxicating products were packaged and marketed to children. In a statement on her website, Miller said delta-8 products were being sold in packaging that looks like candy. “We must stop teenagers and children from being exposed to addictive and harmful drugs,” Miller said. Miller is from a farming background and represents a rural district in southern Illinois. Many in the hemp industry think this amendment will have unintended consequences that could shut down the industry and destroy the livelihoods of people who are making legal and safe hemp products. On the show this week, Lancaster Farming talks to two lawyers serving the hemp industry to hear their perspectives. Justin Swanson, a cannabis lawyer from Bose McKinney & Evans in Indiana and the president of the Midwest Hemp Council, says the amendment is bad for the overall industry, citing harm to fiber and grain sectors and genetics. “In my opinion, it eliminates the genetic seed stock that farmers have built, over the last six years, under the broad definition of the '18 Farm Bill,” he said. Courtney Moran of Agricultural Hemp Solutions is legislative counsel to the National Hemp Association. Moran believes this amendment will have less of an effect on the fiber and grain sector, but still finds the new language troubling for the overall industry. Moran doesn't see it as an “industry-killing” amendment, as it's been presented in online headlines. “I would not uses those words,” she said. “It is a major shift from the policies and language that we've seen in both the 2014 and 2018 Farm Bills,” and if it moves forward it will have major consequences. But she reminds listeners that this is only the House draft and there are many more procedural hoops the Farm Bill must go through before being signed into law. Both lawyers suggest that the amendment has Big Marijuana's fingers all over it. The legally murky market for delta-8 and other hemp-derived intoxicants is cutting into the marijuana industry's profits. Also on this episode, we check in with Morris Beegle, founder of the NoCo hemp Expo in Colorado, who tells us more about the June 5-7 European Industrial Hemp Conference and Expo in the Czech Republic.

Ben Cort has been sober since 1996 and has been part of the recovery movement in almost every way imaginable; from a recipient to a provider to a spokesperson. He joined the field professionally in 2007 working inside of nonprofits, treatment programs and consulting to athletics and organized labor. Highlighted in his book, Weed, Inc.: The Truth About the Pot Lobby, THC, and the Commercial Marijuana Industry, and his TED talk “Surprising Truths about Legalizing Cannabis” Ben has remained active in the discussion around marijuana, assisting several states efforts to hold back Big Marijuana and always advocating for recovery. His reputation as being pro-logic and recovery oriented rather than anti anything, and his widely adopted curriculum on ethical treatment and practices has garnered national recognition. He is utilized by the likes of NFL, and NCAA programs to determine appropriate treatment for their athletes, coaches and their families as well as develop recovery oriented policies. Today on the show we discuss: Why Ben has been advocating against legalization of marijuana, why parents should be taking cannabis seriously, why more people are going to rehab for cannabis addiction, steps parents can take if their kid is struggling with cannabis addiction, what Ben would do if he was in charge of changing things, why cannabis is destroying peoples lives and more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

A decade after the first states legalized marijuana for recreational use, it's become a thriving industry. Today, recreational use is allowed in 19 states plus Washington, D.C., with another five states voting on legalization in November. A total of 37 states allow the medical use of marijuana. Clearly, acceptability is on the rise. At the same time, cannabis has gotten much, much more potent, with THC levels now as high as 100 percent in some products, compared to less than 2 percent for most weed smoked in the 1960s. We speak with Ben Cort, author of “Weed, Inc.: The Truth About the Pot Lobby, THC, and the Commercial Marijuana Industry.” He explains how we've been down this road before, with Big Marijuana being no different from Big Tobacco and Big Pharma. Next, in America Q&A, we ask: If you could give President Joe Biden one piece of advice, what would it be? Then we look at marijuana's medical impact. Is it the dream drug it was billed as, or are there unintended side effects? Dr. Ken Finn, president of the American Board of Pain Medicine, and co-Vice President of the International Academy on the Science and Impacts of Cannabis (IASIC), has some surprising answers. Finally, in our second America Q&A, we ask: What's your concept of a fruitful day? ⭕️Watch in-depth videos based on Truth & Tradition at Epoch TV

Today Michael Walsh speaks with Ben Cort, author of Weed, Inc. Ben is a Jr Fellow at the University of Florida inside of their drug policy institute, a board member for NALGAP (National Association of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender treatment providers and their allies), a Board member at SAM (Smart Approaches to Marijuana) and faculty at numerous institutes. He is a published author (Weed, Inc., HCI/Simon and Schuster 2017). In November of 2019 Ben moved from a consulting role with the Foundry Steamboat Springs to CEO. When not working or hanging out with his wife and three kids Ben can be found chasing trout with his fly rod or buried deep in a book. Ben's passion for recovery, prevention and harm reduction comes from his own struggle with substance abuse. Sober since 6/15/96, Ben has been a part of the recovery movement in almost every way imaginable; from a recipient to a provider to a spokesperson. In 2007, Ben helped start the Colorado based nonprofit, Phoenix Multisport, now “The Phoenix”. Ben was instrumental in building this organization that has received frequent national recognition for their innovative approach to building sober communities around sport and healthy activities. In 2012, Cort joined the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) where he ran the marketing, business development and admissions departments for their substance abuse treatment services known as CeDAR. He left that role in 2017 to consult inside of the treatment community, athletics and organized labor. Throughout this time Ben has remained active in the discussion around marijuana, assisting several states efforts to hold back Big Marijuana and always advocating for recovery. These efforts keep him close to the national discussion and make him a frequent guest in the media.

Episode 19: Many states have already legalized marijuana either medicinally, or recreationally. But what will this mean if states with playgrounds like New York City and Las Vegas legalize the substance? This isn't really a debate because these hipsters more or less agree with each other. But many hipsters out there in the world probably won't. And, if you don't know Teddy Pendergrass by now, you better ask somebody...or just watch the documentary about him on Showtime. Who knew he was quite the star? Apparently everyone who lived in Philly in the 70's. Black Hipster theme song "I Wish" by RL Beats.

Justice & Drew are presented with Sam's Top 5, including details on efforts to legalize marijuana in Minnesota falling flat.

What lessons should we draw from the ugly Supreme Court confirmation of Justice Brett Kavanaugh? Do conservative voices have an equal right to be heard? Is America really as angry and divided as the media would have us believe? How much #winning has Donald Trump been up to lately? And when will the lawsuits against “Big Marijuana” start?  We talk about all that, and more, here on Episode 8 of the American Culture Podcast. Today I have five current topics to...

Organizing for Change Podcast - Episode 17 Show Notes Goal: “to equip coalitions, organizations, and individuals to bring change to their community”   Host, Amanda Decker joins Ben Cort from Cort Consulting. Ben has been part of the recovery movement in almost every way imaginable from a recipient of services to a spokesperson to a respected professional inside of the treatment industry. Sober since 6/15/96 he has seen the devastation that substance use disorder can bring first hand as well as the joy that is recovery.   Ben began his career inside of Human Resources and was a Director at an S&P 500 firm by 27. He left that position to help start the Colorado based non-profit Phoenix Multisport, an organization that provides pro-social activities that are primarily athletic in nature to those living sober lives.   As an original Board member and the first full-time employee Ben was instrumental in building an organization that still receives frequent national attention for its innovative approach to fighting addiction through sport and the community that surrounds sport.   In May of 2012, he left Phoenix Multisport to join the opposition campaign for Amendment 64, the constitutional amendment that would ultimately allow for the commercialization of marijuana in Colorado. Following that campaign Cort joined the University of Colorado Hospital (UCH) where he ran marketing, business development and admissions for their substance abuse treatment service line known as CeDAR. He left that role in January 2017.   Throughout his time with UCH Ben remained active in the discussion around marijuana, assisting several states in their efforts to hold back Big Marijuana and always advocating for recovery. These efforts kept him close to the national discussion and made him a frequent guest in the media. Ben has earned a reputation as being pro-logic and recovery rather than anti anything.   His direct and honest approach has made him a sought after speaker and respected voice in this national conversation.   Welcome to Episode 017 of the Podcast:   Guest: Ben Cort, CEO - Cort Consulting   Cort Consulting Website: https://www.cortconsult.com/   Organizing for Change Website: https://organizing4change.podbean.com/   Organizing for Change Twitter: @organizing4chng   Insights from This Episode:   Big "Marijuana, Tobacco, Alcohol, Pharma" targets those strugling with a substance use disorder.

Marijuana is now legal in some US states and a fast-growing industry has emerged, especially in Colorado which was the first state to embrace the drug. But according to federal law marijuana is still illegal. This means that many companies can't get banking services, advertise their wares or pay tax in the way that other companies do. So how do they survive and thrive? And in what direction is the US moving? Will marijuana soon become a legal drug, like alcohol, across the US? Or will law-makers decide that Colorado's big marijuana experiment has gone too far? And what is it like to run a company in one of the world's riskiest business sectors? Presenter : Peter Day Producer : Rosamund Jones.

Kris Krane and Alex Kreit joins host Kris Lotlikar to talk about the influence of Big Marijuana and about national debates on legalization being held in Mexico. Produced by Shea Gunther.
