Growing With Fishes Podcast. A podcast dedicated to growing aquaponic & cannabis and spreading information to the masses about sustainable cannabis and veggie production! Washington v Barr, which sued the federal government, the DEA, the DOJ and then attorney Jeff Sessions (now Barr) on the basis that criminalizing cannabis by listing it is a schedule I substances violates the constitutional rights of medical cannabis patients that need cannabis to survive. For some more background and context, here are a few articles on the case, which you may have seen bits and pieces of over the last 3 years. Plaintiffs in the case include former superbowl champ Marvin Washington, Alexis Bortell, the now 15 year old medical cannabis refugee in CO from TX that has started a regenerative farm (one luv organics) with her family and has been seizure free for 4 years, Jagger Cotte, Iraq War Vet Jose Belen, and the Cannabis Cultural Association. You may have also seen some organizations (Last Prisoner Project, Minority Cannabis Business Association, ASA, NORML,etc) posting about briefs written in support of a case over the last few weeks, including several members of congress - that was for this same case. Just this Monday, Rep Earl Blumenauer issued a press release urging the Supreme Court to hear this appeal, as there is no legislative solution in sight for legalizing cannabis, which is why our legal team has taken this decision to the highest court. Luckily for us, the people playing by the rules to break down the rules from within are Lauren, her law partner Michael, and a team dedicated to social justice that all have a respect for and a relationship with the plant. In Michael’s own words from the Honeysuckle article: “Every time a person of color is treated differently under the Controlled Substances Act, and that’s every day, it constitutes a violation of the Equal Protection Clause. In my view, it violates the Civil Rights Act as well. So, if we can declassify cannabis and remove it from the schedule by obtaining a declaration that it is unconstitutional, that would essentially void the law—and if it’s voided, all of those criminal convictions, I hope, can be vacated. All of those lives that have been destroyed can go on a pathway towards restoration. That, to me, is so important to what we’re doing; it’s one of the reasons why when we took this case on pro bono. What kind of society would we have if we could take this tool out of their arsenal? It wouldn’t resolve all racism… Racism is so important to those in charge that they’re willing to fire on American citizens to perpetuate it. We have to take the wall of racism down brick by brick. This [case] is one brick.” To that point, our friends at Breeder’s Best sponsored a https://www.change.org/p/scotus-urge-scotus-to-accept-the-washington-v-barr-appeal-on-10-9-2020-federalcannabislawsuit?utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=custom_url&recruited_by_id=8fe62900-0717-11eb-a221-cdbcfd1377ec petition as a call-to-action to generate support for SCOTUS hearing this case. https://minorities4medicalmarijuana.org/ Growing With Fishes Podcast Discord https://discord.gg/nqBf3bj Potent Ponics Classes http://www.potentponics.com/shop/ Marty's Channel APMeds https://www.youtube.com/user/mwaddell6901/videos Steve Channel Potent Ponics https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRkqYlFzKpbCXreVKPYFlGg Facebook group Aquaponic Cannabis Growers https://www.facebook.com/groups/1510902559180077/ Dude Grows Show http://dudegrows.com http://dudegrows.com/aquaponics/ Potentponics.com

Today on Hempire our host Eileen Karpfinger is joined by Jacob Plowden and Nelson Guerrero are co-founders of the Cannabis Cultural Association in NYC which is suing Jeff Sessions to legalize cannabis. They, along with other advocates and professionals in the cannabis industry, descended on a federal court in New York last month to watch Justice Department lawyers try to dismiss a case against Attorney General Jeff Sessions. The suit involves a motley crew of plaintiffs: Alexis Bortell and Jagger Cotte, both pediatric medical marijuana patients; Jose Belen, an Army combat veteran who uses cannabis to treat his PTSD; Marvin Washington, a former New York Jet turned cannabis entrepreneur; and the Cannabis Cultural Association, a nonprofit dedicated to ending the war on drugs and promoting people of color in the cannabis industry.

On this episode of the Millennial Perspective, I am joined by a close friend to discuss aspects of Black History Month and what it means to the Black Millennial. We rely on our individual life experiences as Black Millennials as we look back on the month of February, 2018 and it's big stories; Black Panther; the anniversary of Trayvon Martin's death, etc. The Beautiful Minds Spotlight for February 2018: The Cannabis Cultural Association and their fight to removed the plant from under the US Controlled Substances Act (CSA). Read about their lawsuit (here). Visit www.cannacultural.org for more information.

Today on Hempire our host Eileen Karpfinger is joined by 12-year-olds Alexis Bortell. She’s written a book, takes cannabis oil daily and is challenging the U.S. Controlled Substance Act by suing Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Approximately three years ago Alexis had to leave her home in Texas in order to treat her severe form of epilepsy — known as intractable epilepsy — with cannabis. Now she’s suing Sessions so that others like her won’t have to leave home in fear of retribution from the federal government if they, too, use medical marijuana. The suit aims to prove that the Controlled Substances Act, the statute governing federal drug policy, is unconstitutional as it relates to marijuana, according to Alexis’ attorney, Michael S. Hiller. Joining in on the suit with Alexis are plaintiffs Marvin Washington, a former NFL lineman; Jose Belen, an Army veteran; and Jagger Cotte, a 6-year-old Georgia boy with Leigh syndrome, all of whom use medicinal cannabis. The Cannabis Cultural Association is also named as a plaintiff, according to court documents.

Guerrero, Kamani Jefferson, Jacob Plowden and Sonia Espinosa launched the Cannabis Cultural Association in 2016, after finding that people of color comprise only 1% of the current cannabis industry. The group plans to host instructional seminars for aspiring cannabis entrepreneurs and create partnerships with key players in the business so that minorities can gain a stronger voice in the marketplace. The Cannabis Marketing Lab was founded by Celeste Miranda in 2012 and has become a one-stop shop for companies in all corners of the cannabis industry that need assistance in product launches, website design, social media strategy and more. Celeste hosts the Cannabis Marketing Lab Radio Show podcast and publishes a bi-monthly online magazine that contains industry news, tips for marijuana-related startups and informative guest columns from different perspectives of the cannabis marketplace.

It may be called the green rush but 90% of the cannabis industry is another color, and that color is white. And male. And probably straight. That’s less a criticism than an observation. Our guests this week, Jacob Plowden, founder of the Cannabis Cultural Association and his Aunt Molly Adams, want to change that. They span three generations of use within one family but because of when and how they grew up, share totally different experiences.Historically, there are several reasons for this color/gender imbalance.It goes back to the 1930s when Cannabis Prohibition became the law of the land. To a large extent Prohibition had its roots in racism. Marijuana came from Mexico, the land of poor brown people, and when those people started flooding across the border to flee the economic misery unleashed by the Great Depression a tide of anti-immigrant fervor took hold. “Reefer” was also used in the American jazz scene, which was led by African Americans. The fear was that the evil weed would cause white women to have sex with black men. Those implications persisted for long time.Today, the issues are as much social as socio economic. The ACLU says that of the 8.2 million marijuana arrests from 2001 to 2010, 88% were for simple possession of marijuana; African Americans are nearly four times as likely to be busted for possession than whites. In other words, for a white guy like me, a bust was a slap on the hand. For a man of color, it was a ticket to orange.Unfortunately, even as legalization spreads across the country, many states ban applicants from obtaining cannabis business licenses if they have any criminal record, even for misdemeanors. California is changing that when it goes legal in 2018. Their laws recognize that it’s unfair is it to punish people throughout their lives for a crime that most of us listening to this podcast don’t consider criminal at all. Not every state is as forgiving. And of course, the high cost of launching a cannabis business is also keeping people of color at bay. It’s often in the high 6 figures and increasingly into the many millions.In other words, there’s a lot of work to do to changing the complexion of the cannabis industry. Tune in to hear how one group is tackling the challenge.

On the first official episode of The Beautiful Minds Podcast, I'm joined by Nelson Guerrero and Leland Radovanovic of The Cannabis Cultural Association. We dig into what's going on behind the scenes in the fight to legalize Marijuana nationwide.
