Check it out.)   Show Notes:   -Marijuana in the main stream (over half of the US polling YES for legalization)   -What we're learning from legal states - - - "We have not seen [in the 30 states] that have enacted marijuana laws, starting with California in 1996...not a single one of those states has ever gone back and recriminalized marijuana."   -Lack of uptick in use with young teens or access in jurisdictions where marijuana is regulated.   -Paul Armentano Video Lecture : "Facts vs. Fears : Countering Common Misconceptions about Medicinal Cannabis" - - - "The most frustrating aspect of marijuana policy in America [at the federal level] is we do not have an evidence based policy...[it is] 180 degrees removed from what relevant science is telling us."   -Using PubMed to research Marijuana - - - "Outside of tabbaco, marijuana is the most studied plant on Earth...[there is] nearly 26,000 individual, peer reviewed studies of marijuana...That is more than twice the volume of literature dedicated to Ibeprofin...It's more than 20 times the available literature to hydrocodone."   -"We have a long history of human use than we have conventional substances we consume everyday...The problem isn't we don't know enough about cannabis, [it's that] we have public policies that are divorced from what the available science tells us."   -The Ole Miss Federal Marijuana Farm and how it is used for clinical research across the country   -The Compassionate Investigational New Drug Program of 1978 and the patients who receive 300 rolled marijuana cigarettes a month from the US Government & what studies on these patients tell us.   -Why was marijuana originally made illegal?   -Creating change where prohibition still exists   Hosted by Stefan Lawson. 8/8/17   Please subscribe, share, leave reviews, or comments.

As the High Holiday of the Cannabis Calendar (4/20!) is upon us, Dr. Kelly invites NORMLs Deputy Director Paul Armentano to share with us his thoughts on the current state of cannabis legalization, policy and scientific efficacy in the US in 2017! What does this year hold for legal cannabis in America? Remember that 4-19 is Take Action Day for cannabis reform day, and you can find out more here: norml.org/act While more Americans than ever before favor the legalization of both recreational and medical cannabis, and over 30 states currently have legal medical dispensary systems, cannabis remains firmly on the DEAs Federal Schedule 1, classified to have no accepted medical value. Adding to this confusion is our new President and Attorney General offering confusing messages about the plant, and about federal involvement in state sanctioned marijuana programs. Today, Mr. Armentano addresses what he describes as the ignorance and political apathy on the part of lawmakers, and political inertia that continues to maintain this flat earth policy regarding federal legalization and scheduling. But what does the science and research really show? Mr. Armentano shares with Dr. Kelly today some of the common misconceptions about cannabis, as well on going research on its public health benefits (including helping curb the opiate epidemic). We also discuss a recent literature review of over 10,000 studies on cannabis shows its efficacy in treating conditions like chronic pain, nausea, epilepsy, MS and more. In this interview, we address the political climate including: What does this new administration hold for cannabis legalization over the next year? What is the current federal legality of CBDs? Will the office of drug czar be abolished? Will state mandated cannabis programs be subject to federal law? Will cannabis ever be removed from Schedule 1, and what will it take for this to happen? How can people get involved at state and federal levels to let their voice be heard? Paul Armentano is the Deputy Director of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and also serves as a faculty member at Oaksterdam University. His writing and research have appeared in over 750 publications, scholarly and/or peer-reviewed journals, as well as in more than a dozen textbooks and anthologies. He is a regulator contributor to TheHill.com as well as to numerous other print and online publications, including Freedom Leaf and Alternet.org. Mr. Armentano is the co-author of the book Marijuana is Safer: So Why Are We Driving People to Drink? which has been licensed and translated internationally. His most recent book, The Citizens Guide to State-By-State Marijuana Laws (2015), is available from Whitman Publishing.
