It's Sam's turn, and this time we go back to Episode 57 with Part Two of the Coral Castle! It's not just any episode though, because Sam actually got to go there and take plenty of pictures for us. They talk about some of the stuff they saw and learned during their visit, and we talk about how much of a genius the guy who built it was.

For the second part of the show, Sage gives us a legalization update which kind of blew our minds.  Reminder to check out Last Prisoner Project at https://www.lastprisonerproject.org/ to learn about what you can do to help free people imprisoned for cannabis.  Thanks for your support following our return back to making the show!  

Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome guest Robert Laurie to the show to talk about radical approaches to medical health and the ongoing fight for the recognition and legalization of cannabis and psychedelic medicines. Robert is a pioneer in psychedelic law and policy, the founder of Ad Lucem Law Corporation, and has been instrumental in advancing medical access to cannabis and psilocybin internationally. Robert shares his insights on the future of psychedelic therapy with Dr. T. and Truth Fairy.Robert discusses how he has represented many cases in the psychedelic space but the focus of his work has primarily shifted to looking at constitutional arguments. He points out such areas as opening dispensaries, operating psychedelic healing centers, and making psychedelics available on reserves through retail dispensaries. He explains that he collaborates with and represents academics, scientists, MDs, researchers and elders in his quest to shape policy in favour of cannabis and psilocybin.  Truth Fairy, Dr. T, and Robert examine the history of cannabis prohibition, how cannabis use compares to tobacco and alcohol use in terms of lethality rates, the rigidity of government views on psychedelics, and how policy aims to combat the ingrained structures that stand against the proliferation of psychedelic medicines. Robert's opinions and outlook are shaped by personal experience, years of study, and legal expertise in the realm of psychedelic use. He sheds light on what he believes is the innate right of humankind to access plant-based medicines and why governments tend to oppose that right.  “I mean, I think it's fair to say that there's probably been tons of scientific research by both military and medical and pharmaceutical. But what it boils down to is, you know, just take smoking cessation and psychedelics, for example. I mean, psychedelics, you know, promise major disruption to these well-established and entrenched hallowed halls, including tobacco, alcohol, pharmaceuticals, and the government isn't, I think, sure what to do with all of this.” - Robert Laurie__ About Robert Laurie:Robert graduated from the faculty of Political Science and International Relations at the University of British Columbia and earned his law degree from the University of Oxford. He has been practicing law since 2006, and is recognized as an accomplished lawyer, international consultant, and public speaker.Part of Robert's practice is committed to improving medical patient access and facilitate drug laws for cannabis, psychedelics, and sacred plant medicines. Robert advised Dr. Bruce Tobin and the TheraPsil Alliance litigation team (first Section 56 CDSA medical exemption for psilocybin in Canada). He was one of the Decriminalize Nature Canada Petition drafters, part of a national campaign to decriminalize restricted plant medicines and fungi in Canada.

Welcome to Interview #12 of our interview series. Voting for recreational here in Florida will not free people locked up from non-violent cannabis crimes. We are privileged to be able to consume in a medical state, but many are not as lucky, and get long sentences from small cannabis offenses. Today's interview is important for this reason. Stephanie grew up in Sacramento, California, the youngest of seven children. In 2005 Stephanie moved from California to New York to achieve her goal of selling Real Estate. In 2010 Stephanie was convicted of conspiracy to distribute 1000+ kilos of Marijuana. As a first-time, non-violent offender, Stephanie was sentenced to 10 years in the Federal Bureau Of Prisons. On June 5, 2019, the ankle monitor was removed and she was placed on Federal Probation for the next five years. Stephanie now serves as the Partnerships Manager for Last Prisoner Project as well as serving on the Board of Directors and is adamantly advocating with LPP in the fight for restorative justice for those who have suffered and for those who continue to suffer, as she has from Cannabis criminalization. The Last Prisoner Project (LPP) is a nonprofit organization working to fix problems in the criminal justice system related to cannabis laws. Their main goal is to free every person who is still in prison for non-violent cannabis offenses and to help repair the damage caused by the war on drugs.  @stephy_sheps Website www.lastprisonerproject.org --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/potsmokingmoms/support

Jim Belushi, Hollywood Star and Cannabis Entrepreneur It's been 12 years since Jim first came to Oregon's Rogue Valley where his dear friend John has a sprawling property along the Rogue River, one town over in Shady Cove.

This week has two legendary guests - Steve DeAngelo and Firstman. This episode  explores cannabis, not just as a plant, but as a pivotal element in the tapestry of wellness, sustainability, and conscious living. We're peeling back layers of systemic racism tied to cannabis prohibition, and with the help of the Last Prisoner Project, we're illuminating the dark corners of cannabis-related incarceration injustices.Have you ever considered the spiritual kinship between humans and plants? Join us as we link arms with esteemed guests to navigate the spiritual significance of cannabis within Rastafari and indigenous Shipibo traditions. We're scrutinizing the cultural symbols of cannabis and psychedelics, questioning the corporatization of an industry that could take a leaf out of the book of communal healing and empowerment offered at retreats like the Rastafari Indigenous Village. The episode wraps up with a thoughtful critique of the cannabis industry's trajectory while highlighting the potential of psychedelic retreats to foster social justice and enable empowering change. Tune in for an episode that's more than just a conversation—it's a rallying cry for unity, understanding, and a reconnection to the wisdom of plant teachers.Guest bios: Firstman: Firstman is a longtime advocate for the sustainable development of the cultural industry through the preservation, protection and promotion of cultural events; community development projects; traditional knowledge, and indigenous expression.

Firstman is a founding member of Life Is A Ceremony retreat. https://rastavillage.comSteve DeAngelo:  Steve is a globally recognized cannabis leader who was dubbed “the father of the legal industry” by former Speaker of the California Assembly Willie Brown.

In this episode I speak with Steve DeAngelo about the cannabis industry. As a lifelong activist, author, educator, investor, and entrepreneur, he has spent more than four decades on the front lines of the cannabis reform movement. His most notable business achievements include co-founding Harborside-one of the first six dispensaries licensed in the United States-now a publicly-traded company on the Canadian Securities Exchange; Steep Hill Laboratory, the first cannabis analytics company; Arcview Group, the first dedicated cannabis investment network, and Last Prisoner Project, dedicated to fighting criminal injustice and reimagining drug policySteve is the author of The Cannabis Manifesto and an originator of the wellness approach to understanding cannabis. He played a key role in the passage of Initiative 59, Washington DC's medical cannabis law; the passage of Prop 64, California's adult-use law; and successfully defended multiple legal attempts by US federal authorities to shutter the doors of Harborside.Useful links:https://stevedeangelo.com/https://www.drmatthewhicks.com/https://www.synaptic.care/Disclaimer: topics discussed on the podcast are for educational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice.

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host Jamelle Bouie, opinion columnist at the New York Times and co-host of the Unclear and Present Danger podcast, to round up the week in news. Then, they're joined by comedian Tim Heidecker, who has a real bone to pick with Sam! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the blocking of multiple abortion bans in state legislatures, a soon-to-release Kavanaugh documentary, the budget cut debate, Elon's Twitter, and the fascistic expulsion of Zooey Zephyr from the Montana legislature, before admiring Ron DeSantis' most recent blowup after being questioned about his role at Guantanamo. Jamelle Bouie then joins as he dives right into the Supreme Court's crisis of legitimacy, with half of the justices under fire for some form of corruption, while the Chief Justice refuses to recognize the system of checks and balances, walking through why Democratic leadership is refusing to even contemplate Court reform due to severe fears of backlash, despite it being a fight against unpopular institution full of unpopular people pursuing unpopular policies while under a corruption scandal. Next, they dive into the departure of Tucker Carlson from Fox News and whether it will genuinely have an impact on the company's fascist indoctrination, before wrapping up with an assessment of a 2024 Democratic primary. Tim Heidecker then calls in to teach Sam a thing or two about what real journalism looks like. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive into the fascism and genocidal rhetoric of the Montana legislature, the activism coming from the Montana Governor's children, and the blocking of abortion bans in both Nebraska and South Carolina. A Colorado caller (Sam from the future?) rants on Solar tariffs, Cody from Georgia discusses breaking the cycle of fundamentalist abuse, the MR Crew tackles the updates to Stephen Crowder's abuse, and Master Chief Keef from New York ponders Tucker's future, plus, your calls and IMs!

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma host Heather Digby Parton, contributing writer at Salon.com and proprietor of the blog Hullabaloo, to round up the week in news. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the Supreme Court's Mifepristone decision, far-right legislation coming out of North Carolina, Texas, and the US House, and Buzzfeed news closing shop. Digby then joins Sam and Emma as they dive into the conclusion of the Fox-Dominion lawsuit, the internal incompetence of Fox News, and the destructive force of Rupert Murdoch's empire, as well as Kevin McCarthy's lackluster debt ceiling hustle, and the uncertain standing of centrists like Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema. They also discuss the cold war in the GOP primary, as DeSantis' floundering puts the GOP establishment in disarray, while Biden's announcement is still impending, with only Bobby Kennedy and Marianne Williamson likely to serve as imperfect messengers of the Left, and why a true progressive candidacy must be grounded in coalition building and union solidarity. Wrapping up, they discuss the upcoming generation of politicians, including the passion of the Justins in Tennessee, and the horrors of the Right's young guard. And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma dive a little deeper into Texas passing a law requiring the 10 Commandments to be “prominently displayed” in classrooms, the resignation of the Vice Chair of Tennessee's House Republican Caucus over sexually harassing interns,  and the stalling nomination of Julie Su. They also parse through a few of DeSantis' defenders and betrayers, plus, your IMs!

It's Hump Day! Sam hosts Patrick Rucker, finance reporter for The Capitol Forum and contributor at ProPublica, to discuss his recent piece entitled "How Cigna Saves Millions by Having Its Doctors Reject Claims Without Reading Them". Then, he's joined by percussionist Andy Blanco with the Musician's Union Local 802, to discuss their recent organizing efforts against Distinguished Concerts International New York (DCINY). First, Sam runs through updates on Fox settling their dominion case, the Supreme Court's response to the Mifepristone hold, Canadian labor action, Clarence Thomas' corruption, DeSantis' visit to Washington, and Iowa advancing children's right to work, before diving into coverage of Fox's settlement, and the extant cases they still face. Patrick Rucker then dives right into his discovery of Cigna's scam, walking through the statistics of the inhumane pace at which their doctors would reject insurance claims, and the outrageous quantity of rejections that this has led to, with no substantive reason behind a vast majority of said rejections. After tackling the parallels with the banking sector's Robo-signing scandal and the breadth of the impact of this brand of corruption, Sam and Patrick wrap up by discussing the “legality” of Cigna's malpractice, how to push back against it, and whether the other insurance companies have already jumped on board with their tactics. Andy Blanco and Sam then parse through Local 802's role in the New York concert world and the exploitation they face, before looking at the impact of COVID on their labor situation, and how DCINY forced them into filing unfair labor practice claims. Wrapping up, they tackle the union's demands, and how we can help them in their fight. And in the Fun Half: Sam discusses the GOP's insistence on making Hunter Biden's D*ck Pics a story, Oscar from Compton discusses local disputes with firefighters, Michelle in Brooklyn tackles the exportation of labor overseas, and John from Indiana calls in about last week's Twitter drama. Sam and Bradley also touch on Floridian politics, with parents fighting back against theocratic rule while DeSantis goes to war with Disney, Ethan Schmidt makes a fool of himself, and Jasmin from Texas dives into corrupt election legislation, plus, your calls and IMs!

Happy Monday! Sam is back from vacation! He and Emma speak with Jon D. Erickson, professor of sustainability science and policy at The University of Vermont, to discuss his recent book The Progress Illusion: Reclaiming Our Future from the Fairytale of Economics. Then, they're joined but Justin Alo of Teamsters Local 542 and Matt Leichenger of Teamsters Local 804 to discuss UPS workers' campaign for a new contract. First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the freezing of Mifepristone, the Fox-Dominion case, the Supreme Court hearing a case on Christians having to work on Sundays, the success of the faculty union at Rutgers, continuing gun violence across the US, the GOP Primary, and Macron's assault on the French working class, before parsing through the absences of Sam Seder and Dianne Feinstein. Jon D. Erickson then dives right into his concept of “progress illusion,” as capitalism's fairytale of market-driven, hyper-privatized progress, defined by marginal benefits and hyper-individualized choices that completely ignore the biophysical realities of our planet and who we are as humans. Next, he steps back to discuss the ideological nature of economics, and why that must be understood in searching for who and what economic systems are built for, diving into the statistic of Gross Domestic Product as a symbol of neoliberal progress, and how it emphasizes privatized profits while ignoring the social costs. After tackling the idea of economic systems as our servants (rather than masters), Professor Erickson walks Sam and Emma through his view of a statistic that is conscious of public costs, as put into practice in Vermont, and where such a system still falls short. Wrapping up, Jon, Emma, and Sam debate the role of capitalism and degrowth in a future that doesn't exclusively value private profits. Justi Alo and Matt Leichenger then dive into the recent UPS teamsters' strike, what the Teamsters for a Democratic Union caucus represents, and how a new generation of union organizers is stepping up. They also discuss UPS' massive profits over the pandemic, alongside diminishing working conditions, and what the teamsters' demands for this strike entail. And in The Fun Half: Sam and Emma cover the Right-Wing jumping at the chance to defend Dianne Feinstein's Senate seat, Kevin McCarthy's visit to Wall Street to let them know that the working class will be punished soon, and the Good Liars return to the NRA Conference. Glenn Beck and Ben Shapiro each dive into their own brands of historical revisionism (transphobic holocaust denial and the race of Cleopatra, respectively), which Brendan from San Diego analyzes, and Rob from Boston asks Emma and Bradley to please stop the Taibbi impressions. Catfish James from Portland (Oregon) dives into the Greater Idaho Movement, and Greg Gutfeld gets woke on the Five, plus, your calls and IMs!   Check out Jon's book here: https://islandpress.org/books/progress-illusion Check out Justin's piece in Labor Notes about the impending contract negotiations here: https://www.labornotes.org/2023/04/strike-force-building-ups-contract-campaign-one-breakfast-time Get more info on Teamsters For A Democratic Union (TDU) here: https://www.tdu.org/donate Check out the TDU Store!: https://tdustore.myshopify.com/ Donate to the New York City DSA's Union Power Campaign here!: https://secure.actblue.com/donate/unionpower Become a member at JoinTheMajorityReport.com: https://fans.fm/majority/join Subscribe to the ESVN YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/esvnshow Subscribe to the AMQuickie newsletter here: https://am-quickie.ghost.io/ Join the Majority Report Discord! http://majoritydiscord.com/ Get all your MR merch at our store: https://shop.majorityreportradio.com/ Get the free Majority Report App!: http://majority.fm/app Check out today's sponsors: Sunset Lake CBD: sunsetlakecbd is a majority employee owned farm in Vermont, producing 100% pesticide free CBD products.

It's a very special Casual Friday! Emma hosts Twitch streamer extraordinaire Hasan Piker to round up a crazy week in news.Then, Emma is joined by Francesca Fiorentini, host of The Bitchuation Room podcast! First, Emma runs through updates on Clarence Thomas' corruption, Israel's military escalation, the continued flood of anti-trans legislation in the US, Biden's response to the abortion pill ruling, Ron DeSantis' 6-week abortion ban, Dianne Feinstein's replacement, and a potential Yemen ceasefire, before diving into Nebraska State Senator Machaela Cavanaugh's emotional testimony as her filibuster in support of trans kids reaches its seventh week. Hasan Piker then joins as he draws parallels between himself and billionaire philanthropist Harlan Crow, takes on the absurdity of having Charles “the Bell Curve” Murray give a character endorsement, and dives into the recent leaking of US military secrets over a Discord argument. They also tackle the Taibbi-Musk falling out, before Emma is joined by Francesca Fiorentini to discuss Francesca officially putting the “birth” in “birthing person,”  Trump's “Pudding Fingers” attack ad on DeSantis, updates on the Dominion case, and Candace Owens' obsession with being the most fash of the fascists. And in the Fun Half: Emma and Bradley tackle the coverage of a recent leak of US military secrets, as Glenn Greenwald and Tucker Carlson side with schooling your Discord kittens over the US national security state, as well as aligning arbitrary debate with conscientious whistleblowing, plus, your IMs!

The Bright Light Social Hour founders Jackie O'Brien and Curtis Roush are here to talk about the Austin Psych Scene, their deep connection to live performance and their long-standing support of important social reform issues.  They'll also be hitting the road hard once again this Fall in support of their upcoming new album, Emergency Leisure, set for release on August 2.  Among the many social causes they support, TBLSH brings attention to The Last Prisoner Project which seeks to fight for those incarcerated for cannabis offenses; the band recently released a humorous, tongue-in-cheek video to highlight the perceived "dangers" of cannabis use and is donating all proceeds to this worthy Not-for Profit Organization. TBLSH is literally everywhere, and their music has been featured in a variety of TV soundtracks, videos, and even Nintendo video games!! These guys do it all while continuing their efforts to "start a conversation" about local and national social causes.  Join us on Roadcase for this lively conversation with Jackie and Curtis to learn more about these intriguing artists and how you can help support their efforts!!For more info:https://www.thebrightlightsocialhour.com/For more information on Roadcase: https://linktr.ee/roadcasepod and https://www.roadcasepod.comContact: info@roadcasepod.comRoadcase theme music:  "Eugene (Instrumental)" by Waltzer

It's Hump Day! Emma hosts Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou, associate professor of sociology at University College London (UCL), to discuss his recent book Speculative Communities: Living with Uncertainty in a Financialized World. Then, Emma is joined by economist Nathan Tankus, proprietor of the Notes on the Crises newsletter, to discuss recent developments at the Federal Reserve and Silicon Valley Bank. First, Emma runs through updates on an impending recession, Memphis reinstating Justin Pearson to the Tennessee Statehouse, the identity of the Louisville shooter, Dianne Feinstein's retirement, the drying of the Colorado River, and Alvin Bragg's response to the attacks on him from the right, before diving into the recent letter from Rashida Tlaib and other progressive congressional members calling for the release of Julian Assange. Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou then dives right into defining “speculative communities,” as a community defined and united by its uncertain future, resigned to collective contemplation and anxiety with no solid structural support, before stepping back to explore “speculation” as a deterministic economic concept – an individual taking an unwanted risk for future gains – versus looking at it from a community perspective, as an open-ended engagement with our uncertain futures. This brings Professor Komporozos-Athanasiou to the topic of “political speculation,” which he defines as the weaponization of instability to capitalize on the confusion and anxiety it creates, as seen in the rise of right-wing populism in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis. Wrapping up, he and Emma tackle the role of enclosure in cutting off other community outlets for anxiety and structures for stability. Nathan Tankus and Emma then walk through what's wrong with the Federal Reserve, from the absurdity of putting one agency in charge of the economy, to its obvious obsession with one side of its dual mandate. They conclude the interview by addressing the Fed's response to the recent Silicon Valley bank run, and why the legislative deregulation of banking encourages administrative inaction.

Happy Monday! In a pre-taped conversation, Sam speaks with Bruce Schneier, lecturer in Public Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School, to discuss his recent book A Hacker's Mind: How the Powerful Bend Society's Rules, and How to Bend them Back. First Emma, runs through updates on the leaking of classified documents about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the potential reinstatement of Rep. Justin Jones to the Tennessee Statehouse, the revelations about Harlan Crow's interests (beyond buying politicians), Rutgers' faculty strike, and Israel's expansive bombings over Ramadan, before parsing through the recent overturning (and overturning of said overturning?) of the multi-decade precedent of the FDA's approval of the abortion pill Mifepristone. Next, Bruce Schneier dives right into the concept of hacking as a way to subvert the intent of a system while following its rules, something not inherently negative or criminal, as he walks Sam through myriad examples of non-digital hacking, from the first filibuster to the rules of F1 and cricket, and how those in power of the system responded. Sam and Schneier then turn more particularly to the role that power plays in this equation, with hacks against those with power getting codified out while hacks by the powerful are often accepted, walking through the politics of tax loopholes and financial “hacks” in comparison to the technological hacking of financial institutions and corporations. Wrapping up, they explore how to push back on this power imbalance, the role Artificial Intelligence, in particular, can play in helping the public scope out and regulate the hacks of the elites, and why keeping AI privatized is antithetical to its ability to level the playing field. And in the Fun Half, Emma and Bradley discuss Clarence Thomas's Nazi-curious friend Harlan Crow and his breathless flop sweating defenders (Jonah Goldberg, David French, Ben Shapiro and...Glenn Greenwald), Jon Stewart taking on a Defense Department ghoul on C-SPAN, Nancy Mace surprisingly siding with AOC on not following freak Texas Judge Kacsmaryk's abortion court order, the tragic uncoupling of Elon Musk and Matt Taibbi, plus your calls & IM's!

Anna discusses her work with the Etheridge Foundation and the Last Prisoner Project and her involvement with the the NFL grant for cannabis research at the University of California San Diego.

Cannabis pioneer, co-founder of the non-profit medical cannabis dispensary Harborside,  Weed Wars reality TV star and Forbes Contributor Andrew DeAngelo speaks about a variety of topics related to plant medicine and cannabis legislation. One of his most passionate advocacy positions is to free every prisoner that has been incarcerated unjustly for cannabis and in many places where it has been decriminalized or in fact now even legal through the Last Prisoner Project.  His mission stems from a very personal family experience and it conveys how our personal experiences fuel an unrelenting persistence to advocate for change. Andrew is an exceptional individual who has made it his mission in life to help others navigate the confusing regulations and commercial aspects around cannabis.  Andrew has an important call to action for all of us on ways to get involved from the grassroots education, to voting, to personal entrepreneurship.  Even if you may not believe in cannabis decriminalization personally, I ask that you keep your mind open as Andrew provides a powerful playbook on how to have a successful advocacy and involvement program in how to invoke change on any single issue that you might be very passionate about currently in today's very polarizing cultural and political climate.  Andrew's is cannabis, and after you listen to our discussion, I believe you'll understand why exactly.  Resources mentioned: lastprisonerproject.org -------- Your feedback helps guide the future of the show!
