In this episode of the Willy's World Podcast, Will chats with cannabis guru Lance C Lambert. Lance has spent years cultivating brands and telling stories, formerly in the mainstream digital media and marketing space prior to making the jump to the cannabis industry. Lambert joined the Denver Post team in 2013, just as they were launching their cannabis industry-specific news site, The Cannabist. It was a natural fit for him to focus on digital media operations for the niche site. He has since stayed firmly in the cannabis industry lane and went on to head up media at WeedMaps, taking their content global before being tapped to run business development on the herbal side at Boveda, focusing on international growth and diversification. Subsequently he worked with Green Flower Media to expand and strengthen their position as the worldwide authority in cannabis education. Lambert brings his varied knowledge and passion-first attitude to GreenBroz, where he's been tasked with growing the company's footprint with an eye toward moving into emerging markets around the globe. As a cancer survivor, and having grown up in Northern California, he has seen firsthand the benefits of cannabis, and how it can be an integral part of a healthy lifestyle. Having spent the last few years speaking at expos and conventions around the world, he enjoys connecting with others who are interested in the many different facets of the industry. When not on the clock or on a motorcycle, Lance can be found hosting Cure to Consumption on Haze Radio Network, or Seed to Social with the Future Cannabis Project. He also enjoys writing a monthly column for MG Magazine on the international movement around cannabis.

Guests: Charlie: Charlie decided he wanted to be a teacher, but he had never gotten a degree (probably because he still hasn't proven he isn't squirrels in a trench coat) and so had trouble securing a position. Then he found Prager University. They hired him without even checking under his trench coat! He began teaching the masses until he realized that global warming was about to turn his Oak tree home into beach front property. While considering the amazing financial benefits of owning beach front property, he remembered he can't swim and is terrified of crabs!!!! So he stopped making unaccredited 5 minute videos for Dennis Prager so he can join us to today. Hyena: One time me an Hyena decided to be radical and watch some skateboarding. As we watched the 12 year old YouTube skateboards make us look like punks an old man burst into Hyena's apartment. "How dare they skate on public property the HEATHENS!" We were scared and not sure what to do. "Back in my day good kids didn't skizzy board or look at their phoney magoos!" The old man intensified until Hyena saved the day and turned on Fox News.  Soon the man was subdued and calmly watching. Eventually he died in the chair and now Hyena's apartment is rent controlled from the tragedy. Today we get political as we read the story "Twas the Day Before Easter" by Lance C. Then we do a good old dive into some Poetry! Want to know more? Check out our website buriedgems.podbean.com Any suggestions or comments? Feel free to email us at buriedgemspodcast@gmail.com

J is one of only twenty-six students, all of whom think of the school's enigmatic founder as their father. J's peers are the only family he has ever had. The students are being trained to be prodigies of art, science, and athletics, and their life at the school is all they know-and all they are allowed to know. But J suspects that there is something out there, beyond the pines, that the founder does not want him to see, and he's beginning to ask questions. What is the real purpose of this place? Why can the students never leave? And what secrets is their father hiding from them? Meanwhile, on the other side of the forest, in a school very much like J's, a girl named K is asking the same questions. J has never seen a girl, and K has never seen a boy. As K and J work to investigate the secrets of their two strange schools, they come to discover something even more mysterious: each other.

Jungle medicine: it's everywhere, from chia seeds to ginseng tea to CBD oil.  In the US, what was once the province of counter culture has moved squarely into the mainstream of Walmart and Walgreens.  In his excellent new book The Ethnobotany of Eden: Rethinking the Jungle Medicine Narrative (University of Chicago Press, 2018), Robert A. Voeks explains that while rainforests may indeed have much to offer in the way of medically useful compounds, the fanfare for tropical miracle medicines and superfoods has been largely in err, counterproductive, and at times prejudicial. The jungle medicine narrative – the idea that indigenous shamans of the virgin rainforst hold the antidotes to many of humankind's most pernicious woes – grew widespread in the 1970s after childhood leukemia was all but cured with the Madagascar periwinkle.  But the subsequent efforts of pharmaceutical companies to accelerate innovation through bioprospecting had a much deeper historical precedent.  Christopher Columbus earmarked West Indian medicinal plants on his first voyage and European imperialists attempted to more systematically appropriate native medical knowledge though the Enlightenment.  By tracing this long colonial history, Voeks emphasizes that the hype of the last 50 years has been mostly just that; rather than reflecting the advancement of science, the jungle medicine narrative derives instead from racial ideologies in which indigenous peoples are associated with wild, virgin nature.  It is little surprise, then, that blockbuster drugs have proven allusive.  If the profits of appropriating medical knowledge have been overblown, so too, writes Voeks, has been the criticism.  Examples of exploitative biopiracy can be found, but these are exceptions in what are mostly more complex and dynamic interactions between researchers and healers. We have much to gain from abandoning the jungle medicine narrative.  Without its simplicities, stereotypes, and essentialisms perhaps we can come to a better appreciation the variety of ways that humans make knowledge about the natural world and without its promises of panaceas perhaps we can better understand how this knowledge has and can yet sustain communities in the face of environmental and political changes. Robert A. Voeks is Professor of Geography and the Environment at California State University, Fullerton. Lance C. Thurner recently completed a PhD in History at Rutgers University with a dissertation addressing the production of medical knowledge, political subjectivities, and racial and national identities in seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Mexico.  He is broadly interested in the methods and politics of applying a global perspective to the history of science and medicine and the role of the humanities in the age of the Anthropocene.
