Podcasts about Legalization

Drop us a line or two . . .Queenie and TT record in the morning like the agile legends they are… despite a little tech lag. They recap a quiet Stink-O-Rama roller skating day, celebrate Chef Son's homemade feast, and spiral (comedically) into the brutal truth of aging, hormones, and the “we're shriveling into dust balls” era. They revisit Tanya's menopause/HRT wisdom, debate psychedelics and microdosing, and share what they're consuming. TT covers a dating poll suggesting cannabis use is more “green flag” than “red flag,” then the ladies play “Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda—Was it Cannabis or Caca?” Finally, the Fuck-It List targets the weird guilt around watching TV during the day—because retirement means you can watch Netflix at 2pm if you damn well please.Episode summary (long)This week, Closet Disco Queen goes full “morning people (temporarily)” with Queenie and TT battling a little lag, a little pixelation, and a lot of midlife honesty. Queenie shares a return to Stick-O-Rama (empty rink = bliss), a big family moment, and the shock of time flying. The conversation turns to the very real physical shift that seems to hit in the early 60s—skin changes, hormone deprivation, and the urgent mission to get “back on the horse” (radiant edition).They reflect on Tanya's candid menopause/sex/HRT conversation and unpack the idea of psychedelics—what microdosing actually means, why the stigma lingers even for cannabis-friendly folks, and whether “if not now, when?” applies here.TT's “Where is it legal?” segment brings a positive story: a dating poll where marijuana use reads more green flag than red flag (while cigarettes and riskier drugs are bigger turnoffs). Then it's game time: Mitch McConnell frolicking in hemp (real) vs. an HOA hemp-rope freakout (sadly, caca).The episode wraps with the Fuck-It List: ditching the unwritten rule that daytime TV is “bad” unless you're sick—because retirement means your stories are back on the menu.midlife cannabis podcastmenopause and cannabis conversationHRT and estrogen misinformationcannabis legalization “where is it legal”cannabis and dating poll green flagmicrodosing psychedelics midlife discussionfunny menopause podcast episode Welcome to the Closet Disco Queen Pot-Cast, a #1 ranked Women in Cannabis (Feedspot, Million Pods; 2025) comedy podcast with music and pop culture references that keeps you laughing and engaged.

This episode is packed with Illinois news and a national lawsuit that hits close to home. Cole breaks down his latest original reporting on outdoor cultivation being quietly allowed for a select few in Illinois, and asks the bigger question: who gets flexibility under state law, and who does not? He connects the screenhouse litigation to what it could mean for craft growers, medical patients, and the long-overdue push for homegrow for all adults. Plus, Cole reacts to a Chicago Reporter piece on “what Illinois got wrong about legal weed,” including what the article highlights and what he thinks it leaves out, then closes with the Ohio Attorney General's antitrust lawsuit alleging MSOs coordinated shelf-space deals to keep prices high and limit competition.

Author and Washington Post contributor Danny Funt joins the Chuck ToddCast to discuss his new book “Everybody Loses”, and for a sobering, wide-ranging conversation about how the rapid legalization of sports betting quietly reshaped American sports—and not in the ways fans were promised. What began as a state-by-state experiment after a 2018 Supreme Court ruling has exploded into a highly profitable, lightly regulated industry where sportsbooks are household names, leagues are financial stakeholders, and media companies are financially dependent on gambling ads. Funt explains how gambling turbocharged media rights deals, hooked viewers more deeply into games, and became politically untouchable as companies like FanDuel and DraftKings poured money into lobbying to block even modest regulation. The discussion digs into the darker consequences that followed: inadequate funding for gambling addiction support, normalization of conspiracy talk about “rigged” games, threats and violence directed at athletes, and growing concerns about corruption—especially in individual sports and lower-profile leagues. Funt draws chilling parallels between today’s sportsbook advertising blitz and the early days of Big Tobacco, explores why American regulators ignored European guardrails, and explains how mobile betting and prediction markets have made gambling more potent and pervasive than ever. The result, he argues, is a system designed for maximum profit with minimal friction—one that has fundamentally altered how sports are watched, covered, and policed.

In this episode of the Chuck ToddCast, Chuck digs into the stunning implosion of The Washington Post after Jeff Bezos ordered layoffs of nearly a third of its staff—breaking a decade-old promise to provide the paper with long-term financial runway. The conversation explores how Bezos treated the Post less like a civic institution and more like a trophy asset, useful for currying favor, protecting government contracts, and advancing Amazon and Blue Origin, but never truly prioritized for success. As newsroom cuts gut coverage across the board and the Post retreats from its role as D.C.’s essential local authority, the episode argues this isn’t just a media story—it’s a case study in billionaire power, tech hubris, and how America’s wealthiest figures play by a different set of rules, even as blue-collar and white-collar anger begin to converge. Then, author and Washington Post contributor Danny Funt joins the Chuck ToddCast to discuss his new book “Everybody Loses”, and for a sobering, wide-ranging conversation about how the rapid legalization of sports betting quietly reshaped American sports—and not in the ways fans were promised.

A recent poll by Research Co. shows that most Canadians — about 65% — support keeping marijuana legal. Support for legalizing other currently banned drugs, however, remains very low. To discuss these and other findings, Mario Canseco, President of Research Co., joins Evan.

Where are you listening from?What happens when a Vancouver budtender returns to Australia with a new language for cannabis and a mission to make it make sense? We sit down with Paul O'Donoghue, host of the Give and Toke podcast, to unpack the real-world tradeoffs between Canada's fast-track legalization and Australia's guarded medical model. From legacy growers and craft quality to overpackaging, dry flower, and clunky distribution, Paul shares how early missteps in Canada created friction and how direct delivery, farm-gate models, and patient-centered thinking can rebuild trust.Paul's story moves from experimental use to intentional, doctor-guided consumption. He tracks effects, speaks in terpenes, and treats cannabis like a tool, not a trend. Along the way, he spotlights a stubborn barrier holding Australia back: roadside drug testing that punishes presence instead of impairment. It's the kind of policy that keeps people choosing alcohol over a measured gummy, even when they want a healthier option. We also talk stigma, why humility beats hot takes, and how corporate and craft can coexist if we protect room for small producers to innovate while larger operators stabilize access.There's humor too. Paul's go-to line for turning down drinks (“It makes me sad”) is both disarming and honest. Beyond the laughs, the throughline is clear: better laws, better access, and better conversations. We explore how smart accessories make home use calmer and more discreet, why patient rights matter, and what it takes to bring policymakers, clinicians, and community into the same room.If you're curious about how legalization really lands in people's lives and what needs to change next, press play, share this with a friend, and tell us your take.

Cole is joined by recurring guest Phil to break down Part 1 of ColeMemo.com's overview of Illinois' 2025 annual cannabis report, a required compilation of updates from state agencies covering licensing, enforcement, public health, and revenue. They discuss IDFPR reporting that 93 dispensaries received operational licenses, the agency's description of Metrc entering its post-launch phase, and a discrepancy in reported craft grow license counts across state reports and press releases. Most of the conversation focuses on the Illinois State Police section, including Chicago's arrest heat map, the first year-over-year increase in Cannabis Control Act arrests since legalization, and how hemp and THCA products have complicated prosecutions. Cole and Phil also discuss ISP's push for phlebotomy training to speed up DUI cannabis blood draws, K9 policy changes, gaps in expungement tracking, and what the data suggests about cannabis-related criminal enforcement continuing in Illinois despite legalization.

What if cannabis education focused on benefits, not fear?Daniel Bear, PhD returns to break down the cannabis industry THC obsession, Canada's cannabis tax imbalance, and why mindful consumption—not prohibition—is the future of cannabis policy. Daniel tackles falling prices, rising taxes, disappearing profit margins, and the ongoing threat of the illicit market. He explores how high-THC marketing pressures, youth protection, and consumer education can seem to be in conflict. Everyone, except governments, hat taxes, but Daniel believes smarter tax policies could stabilize the market without compromising safety. Daniel also unveils an exciting new 'project: HERBy, the Helpful Education for Responsible Benefit-maximization tool. AI can be your therapist, or your research assistant, so why not a mindful cannabis consumption chatbot. This tool is built on groundbreaking research from his recent peer-reviewed study, "Harm reduction isn't enough: Introducing the concept of Mindful Consumption and Benefit Maximization (MCBM)," published in the International Journal of Drug Policy. Listen now to learn whether Canada is still on the right path—and what industry, government, and consumers must do next to ensure legalization succeeds for everyone.HERBy Chatbot - websiteDaniel Bear PhD - LinkedIn-responsum.caTranscripts, papers and so much more at: reefermed.ca

Text and Be HeardA holiday sunrise, a warm ocean breeze, and a conversation that cuts to the bone of recovery. Jay P. joins us to explore why quitting the bet can be tougher than quitting the bottle, and how the serenity prayer became a daily operating system for real peace of mind. We open with a simple, powerful frame: train your brain toward natural dopamine, serotonin, endorphins, and oxytocin so you're not hunting relief in places designed to take more than they give.Jay's story maps a pattern many “double winners” recognize. Alcohol numbs, but gambling seduces with hope—the next card, the next line, the next live bet to make it all back. That loop weaponizes uncertainty. We unpack the allure of the bailout win and why a big score often makes the problem worse by hardwiring belief in a system you can't beat. We also tackle the modern sports betting machine: odds baked into broadcasts, ads that never let up, and kids absorbing it all from the couch. Legalization brings access and harm, yet also funding streams for hotlines and treatment.The theme that anchors everything is peace. Holidays magnify triggers, but with honest tools—meetings, community, and a clear boundary around the “first”—calm becomes possible. We trade frantic fixes for simple practices: work hard at what matters, laugh daily, love without keeping score, and choose routines that reward presence over rush. If you're feeling the pull from your screen or your old stories, this conversation offers a steady hand and a sane plan. If it resonates, share it with someone who needs a lifeline, hit follow, and leave a review to help others find the show.Support the showRecovery is Beautiful.

What if cannabis education focused on benefits, not fear?Cannabis researcher Daniel Bear, PhD returns to Reefer Medness to introduce Mindful Consumption & Benefit Maximization (MCBM). MCDM is a framework that helps people understand why they use cannabis, what they want from the experience, and how to reduce risks while improving outcomes.We explore why prohibition-era messaging failed, the problems with today's ultra-high-THC products, and how balanced cannabinoids may offer safer, more enjoyable experiences. The conversation also dives into Canada's legal cannabis market—from retail oversaturation to the tension between public health and commercialization—plus what other countries are doing differently.Listen now to learn how mindful cannabis consumption could reshape education, policy, and personal use.Transcripts, papers and so much more at: reefermed.ca

Psychedelic therapy is on the verge of reshaping mental health, trauma healing, and human consciousness. This episode reveals what's really happening behind the scenes at the FDA, inside pharmaceutical companies, and within the global movement to legalize MDMA-assisted therapy. Watch this episode on YouTube for the full video experience: https://www.youtube.com/@DaveAspreyBPR Host Dave Asprey sits down with Rick Doblin, PhD, the legendary founder of MAPS and one of the most influential figures in psychedelic science. With nearly 40 years leading clinical research on MDMA, psilocybin, and trauma healing, Rick brings unmatched insight into how these compounds are transforming functional medicine, emotional resilience, and neuroplasticity. They break down the regulatory battle over MDMA therapy, the clash between pharmaceutical profit and public benefit, and the urgent need to combine pharmacology with therapy for real results. You'll also learn how psychedelics impact neurohacking, epigenetics, and the default mode network—and why the next frontier of self-transformation may be couples therapy with MDMA. This episode offers critical knowledge for anyone serious about biohacking, trauma release, mental performance, and accessing deeper states of healing. This podcast channel dives into the intersections of psychedelics with fasting, ketosis, cold therapy, and self-quantification—and how altered states can unlock more energy, better relationships, and lasting change. You'll Learn: • Why separating therapy from psychedelics is the most dangerous path forward • How MAPS evolved into a public benefit pharma company—and what went wrong • The real story behind the FDA's rejection of MDMA therapy in 2024 • How MDMA affects neuroplasticity, mitochondria, and trauma recovery • Why group therapy and couples therapy are the future of psychedelic healing • The dangers of overusing ketamine—and how it's being exploited by profit-driven clinics • What the Psychedelic Science 2025 conference will reveal about the future of medicine, spirituality, and consciousness hacking • How psychedelics could reverse epigenetic trauma passed down through generations • The role of default mode network suppression in spiritual experiences and trauma resolution • Why the war on drugs was never about safety—and what a post-drug-war world might look like Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, and the father of biohacking.
