This is the State of California: Doug Sovern and Patti Reising are away today. The Justice Department has proposed reclassifying marijuana as a Schedule 3 drug, which would ease federal restrictions on cannabis if approved.  This move, deemed "monumental" by President Biden, follows his moves to pardon those convicted of simple marijuana possession, and highlights his administration's focus on marijuana policy reform.  Although Marijuana is legal in California, there are still federal laws that prevent its use in certain instances in the state. And to break it down, KCBS Radio's Bret Burkhart was joined by David Downs, the Senior Editor at Leafly, an online marijuana resource.

Vice President Kamala Harris' push to rally voters in San José around support for reproductive rights ran headlong into protests on Monday, demanding an immediate cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas War in Gaza. Scott talks about that with Guy Marzorati, who was there before and during Harris' appearance.  Plus, President Joe Biden is facing major problems with younger voters. They're upset his climate change policies haven't gone further, and they're disaffected by his unwavering support for Israel in its war with Hamas. Some think a push for decriminalizing marijuana use could help Biden win back voters under 30. Scott talks to David Downs, senior editor and reporter with Leafly.com, an online publication that covers marijuana policy.

Yoko Miyashita is a prominent figure in the cannabis industry, serving as the CEO of Leafly, a leading online platform dedicated to cannabis information, education, and connecting consumers with licensed retailers and brands. With a passion for both business and purpose-driven leadership, Yoko brings a wealth of experience and insights to the industry. In her role as CEO, she has addressed challenges related to legal status, limited access to banking services, and the dynamic nature of the cannabis industry. You'll hear Lindsay and Yoko discuss: Establishing a cannabis news arm is crucial to cover the changing landscape of state legislatures and global events affecting the industry. Other media outlets are increasingly focusing on cannabis, signifying the growing importance of the industry in mainstream conversations. A brand's North Star should be revisited periodically for alignment but not changed too frequently, as it provides stability in decision-making. Leading a company that combines commerce-driven and purpose-driven aspects is challenging, but money and mission can coexist in the cannabis industry, which presents opportunities for positive social change. Limited access to capital is a significant hurdle for companies in the cannabis industry, impacting their growth potential and ability to achieve their purpose. Personal rituals, such as self-care through sleep, exercise, healthy eating, and regular breaks during work, are essential for leaders to perform at their best.  Protecting their energy and maintaining a sense of connection through basic rituals is vital for leaders in high-pressure industries. Reducing cognitive load in decision-making is crucial for effective leadership, as it streamlines the alignment between desired actions and actual actions. Personal North Stars can be powerful tools for improving speed and scale, both personally and within an organization. Empowering others within the organization should be balanced with applying the right filters in decision-making processes to maintain alignment with the organization's mission.

Federal Cannabis Legalization News | Safter Banking Act Update This week we saw a major push by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer to legalize cannabis at the federal level when he circulated a petition, asking for signatures from supporters. These types of email campaigns are often used to build up their own email lists for political fundraising; however, Schumer has been an outspoken proponent of allowing banks to do business in the cannabis industry. On Wednesday, Schumer and a bipartisan group of cannabis supporters introduced a revised version of the SAFE Banking Act called the SAFER Banking Act. This updated version has some new provisions and is set for mark-up in the Senate next week. Meanwhile, two republican supporters of the SAFER Banking Act introduced their own bill to impede the proposition of rescheduling cannabis to a less regulated class. The DEA Act, as it's known, would require congressional approval to propose a change to any federal drug law, adding another hurdle to the prospect of cannabis legalization if it were to pass both chambers of Congress. The MORE Act was also refiled again this week, making its way to the House for a third time. The bill is solely sponsored by Democrats and faces an uphill battle to make it through while the House is under GOP majority. New York continues to make headlines for their calamitous roll out of the adult-use industry in the state. Leafly, Ron DeSantis, and the NCAA also get some of the spotlight this week. Tune in to hear all about it. This is Cannabis Legalization News for the week of September 18th. Get in touch with us:

Many places you go these days, liquor stores, co-ops and even convenience stores, you see them: colorful cans of CBD and THC drinks, recently legal to sell and consume in Minnesota.  And when happy hour comes around, I often finding myself reaching for one of them instead of a glass of wine. Unlike with alcohol, there's no hangover, I sleep better and feel great in the morning after a couple of these. When I heard that Plift hemp-infused beverages was a Black owned-and-operated company, I started asking for it by name. You can get it in stores around Minnesota as well as five other states, and soon to be in Wisconsin. Plift hemp-infused beverages come in a variety of fun flavors.  There's juicy grapefruit and crisp ginger that taste a bit like natural soda. Guests at a recent dinner party reacted as they took their first sips.“I don't know what it is but I thought it was going to taste more like sparkling water, but it tastes more like pop,” said one guest.Another guest had fun saying the name aloud and then gave his verdict: “It's a pretty good beverage. I'd give it …”  He paused to take another taste. “A nine. It's not bad. I don't want to go too crazy with the rating. It's good though. I like it!”Plift also contains four milligrams of THC per can which offers a light buzz. This relatively small amount of cannabinoids, the psychoactive compounds in cannabis. Co-owner Todd Harris calls it “sessionable.” It's a brewing term for an alcoholic beverage that is light, refreshing and easy to drink, without too much inebriating effect. But unlike sessionable beer, there is no alcohol in the making of Plift. “I grew up in a family where my parents were amazing parents,” says Harris, who was born and grew up in Minneapolis. “But alcohol was prevalent. And so I quickly realized that I was always one drink away from being an alcoholic myself, as well as how alcohol played a role in communities of color. And so I said, ‘Let's go build a really good product that provides optionality for those who want ways to unwind that don't include alcohol.'” ‘Easier to get alcohol than a square meal'The negative impact of alcohol on communities of color, and in particular the Black community, is well-documented.According to the American Psychological Association, African Americans drink less, start drinking later and abuse alcohol less frequently than other races and cultures. However Black people suffer from more negative consequences of alcohol use, including more injuries and illnesses. More potent forms of alcohol, such as malt liquor and 40oz beers have historically been marketed disproportionately to Black communities. “In communities of color,” Harris goes on, “it's easier for people to get their hands on alcohol and poison than it is to get their hands on a square meal.”So he and his partner Glenn McElfresh, both fans of cannabis, decide to make what they think of as a “viable alternative” to alcohol, one arguably with fewer negative consequences. “And if we can make it at a price point that becomes affordable and accessible and approachable, then that's even better,” Harris adds. Social justice issueThe duo really think of their product, and cannabis in general, as a social justice issue, and very one that is currently super topical with the shifting marijuana legislation nationwide. This includes Minnesota's recent legalization of recreational use for people aged 21 and above.Plift decided early on that its active ingredient would come from hemp, and Harris says he has no intention of moving into marijuana. But he's watching the changing market forces in Minnesota.Historically, Black people have received the short end of the stick where it comes to marijuana use in the legal system. Black people outnumber white people four-to-one in marijuana arrests according to NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws.And, says Harris, just because marijuana is legal here and in other states around the country, it doesn't mean Black people are suddenly poised to win in the marketplace. In fact, Harris predicts quite the opposite.“You're going to see scarcity of Black founders,” he said. “You're going to see the literal gentrification of cannabis.”Currently, Black ownership makes up less than two percent in the cannabis industry, according to a 2021 jobs report in Leafly, one of the leading sources on cannabis use and education. Plift is one of just a handful of Black-owned cannabis companies in the state of Minnesota. It is currently producing about one thousand cases of product per week, but say it is growing quickly. Worry for the futureHarris said they are cautiously optimistic about their position in the marketplace. Because of its much lower barriers to entry and the fact that it's already a federally legal substance, Harris and McElfresh decided to derive their cannabinoids from hemp.Thanks to that lower barrier to entry — about $1,000 for a license compared to tens of thousands for a marijuana license — about 60 sixty percent of the hemp companies in the state are owned by minorities or women, according to a study by the Minnesota Cannabis Association.But Harris worries Plift's decision to go with hemp might ultimately put their company at a disadvantage.“Corporate cannabis companies want to have a monopoly on the marketplace,” Harris explains. “And low potency THC from hemp competes directly with both medical and recreational marijuana derived THC products.”Harris said special interest groups are currently lobbying to restrict access to hemp for companies like his, and there's one reason for that: the big operations want to corner the market. “I think the fact that in 2023 we still have people who look like me locked up for things that many, many people are getting very wealthy on — mainly middle aged white men — is a travesty. And it's just another instance in how policy politics in our systems continue to fail Black people and Black men in general.” Harris worries that as marijuana continues to be legalized around the country, people of color will not benefit at large. This despite legislative calls to create opportunities for the communities most adversely affected by the war on drugs to benefit from the opportunities  offered by business possibilities created by  marijuana legalization. “There's not a good example in the country, yet in the previous 22 states that legalize adult use marijuana that can point to how communities of color in particular are benefiting.” Harris says he wants everyone to carefully consider that as the marijuana laws and landscape continue to shift, probably for years to come.“Hemp is a path forward [for Black owners]. Low potency, THC derived edibles, consumables, that's a path forward that anyone can play in, and corporate cannabis does not want the world to know that.” Harris says he dreams of one day selling the business with the goal of providing employees and families with financial security and generational wealth. However, as some Minnesotans explore the new landscape where marijuana can be enjoyed widely, Harris urges cannabis users to continue thinking of marijuana legislation, and Black presence in the marketplace, as a social justice issue.

PotAdvisor.com was started by two friends in Southern ME, Dan McGarry and Travis Sjurseth. Both have a history of working in the tech space. Dan owns and operates his own web development company, focusing more on backend development, while Travis worked mainly in front-end and marketing throughout his career. Their goal as more states legalize cannabis consumption is to provide a place for new and seasoned cannabis consumers to learn more about ins-and-outs of safe cannabis consumption, including how to consume the various forms of cannabis, finding a nearby dispensary, what questions to ask your budtender (whether for medical or adult rec use), discover new strains, get industry news, and learn more about independent producers within the industry.

Jimi Devine writes fro LA Weekly. High Times, Leafly, Village Voice and is Founder of the Transbay Challenge

It's been nearly 10 years since Colorado and Washington became the first states to approve marijuana for recreational use. Since then 19 states have legalized marijuana for recreational use and nearly 40 states have legalized marijuana for medical use. In November, citizens in 5 states: Maryland, North Dakota, South Dakota, Missouri and Arkansas will vote on marijuana legalization measures. We'll talk about the states that have marijuana as a ballot measure for the 2022 midterms with Bruce Barcott, Senior Editor at Leafly, the World's Cannabis Information Source. 

Welcome back! Jay indulges with some Cookie Dough Ice Cream this week which causes us to have some "technical difficulties" as J laughs uncontrollably for a good chunk of the show. For News Nugs- We read the results of a recent study where medical students give their honest views surrounding medical Cannabis, and it is no wonder we have one foot still living in the Ice Age. In Florida; the state health department released a new 70 day allowance for all other routes of administration, and we dissect what this means for all of us. Our charismatic Governor Satan thinks dispensaries should start paying more to do business here in Florida, and we discuss why they already pay too much.

The legalization debate reached the US Senate this week, prompting us to recall the time Tucker Carlson had to say the words "Great Moments in Weed History." Immediately followed by the biggest name on Fox News lamely spewing Reefer Madness nonsense while getting trounced in an on-air confrontation with our co-host. More seriously, in this episode we share an optimistic update on progress towards federal legalization, following testimony before Congress from two people with deep connections to this podcast.  BEAN VS. TUCKER CARLSON We share excerpts from their debate in the episode. Here's where you can watch the whole thing, or you can read the Leafly article debunking Alex Berenson's book.

The number of COVID-19 positive hospital patients continues to climb in L.A. County. So, the county could be headed for another public mask mandate.   Reporter Jackie Fortier, KPCC More than a third of Monkeypox cases are in San Francisco, where vaccine supply isn't. But, health officials have just received over 2,000 new vaccine doses this week. Reporter Vanessa Rancano, KQED New tax breaks from the State could help stabilize California's struggling Cannabis industry. Plenty of people in the industry are still not convinced the shifts will make enough of a dent for small businesses in the cannabis market. We talk to David Downs, Senior Editor at Leafly… who covers cannabis policy and legalization. Reporter Madi Bolanos, KQED Friendship Park on the US-Mexico border is a place where families separated by the border can see and talk to each other through the fence.  But, a new plan by the Biden Administration may change all that and activists are angered by the new developments. Border Reporter Gustavo Solis, KPBS Check out our sister show, The California Report's Weekly Magazine, as Lisa Morehouse's series, “California Foodways,” takes her to every one of California's 58 counties to bring us a story about food.

Social equity programs designed to remediate the damage done by the War on Marijuana have all-too-often had the opposite effect. To find out why, Abdullah and Bean share a sesh with top-drawer cannabis journalist Amanda Chicago Lewis and discuss her new article in the New Republic: "Legalized Pot Was Supposed to Help Build Black Wealth in Los Angeles. It Failed." From shady politicians to venture capital d-bags, she explains what's gone wrong, and how those lessons can be applied to legalization laws in the rest of the country—and around the world. We also discuss how Amanda's 2014 Rolling Stone article about the Pamela Anderson / Tommy Lee sex tape was adopted into the Hulu series Pam & Tommy.
