A child of Yahweh, Husband, Father, Hard Worker, Hustla, Alphonso (Tucky) Blunt Jr., is a true testament to walking your path. The Owner of both Blunts + Moore dispensary, and Proud Papas clothing is a 5th generation Oakland native, that has opened the 1st dispensary under Oakland's Cannabis Equity Program. While growing up in Oakland, California during the war on drugs era, he managed to stay out of trouble and maintain a 4.0 gpa and a full time job while in high school. He was also using and selling cannabis. Cannabis sales to him was another form of employment. In 1999 while on an errand with his grandmother, she had him go to a dispensary, from that day forward his mission was to own one for himself, so he could sale cannabis legally. He worked at and was a vendor for multiple bay area dispensaries from 1999-2004. In 2003 he attempted to become an owner of a dispensary, and was told blacks would never own in this business. In 2004 he was arrested for possession with the intent to sale, and given 10 years of felony probation with a 4 way search clause. Still determined to learn more on the legal side, he attended and graduated from Oaksterdam University in 2008. In true path formation, had he not been arrested, he would not have qualified for the Equity program... Now as the 1st person to open a dispensary under Oakland's Equity program, he is finally continuing on that path of ownership. His goals and values are still spiritual and family driven. He is looking to change the face of the cannabis industry, one location at a time. Blunts + Moore opened its doors on November 24th, 2018 to a huge crowd, great food, and lifted spirits.

Debby Goldsberry And Bryan Passman join us for our 10 Years Of NCIA episode series talking about Community And Cannabis and talent acquisition. Debby Goldsberry, CEO of Magnolia Wellness, has nearly 30 years of experience as a leader in the medical and adult-use marijuana industry. Magnolia Wellness, an award-winning dispensary in Oakland, CA, and also co-founded the Berkeley Patients Group (BPG) medical cannabis collective in 1999, directing its growth for over 10 years, from 1999 - 2010. Goldsberry is the author of Starting and Running a Marijuana Business (Idiot’s Guide), a well-known industry guide, and was also a top-rated mentor at Gateway Incubator in Oakland, CA, and is dedicated to helping entrepreneurs succeed. She is a former board member at California NORML and the Marijuana Policy Project and is a Professor Emeritus at Oaksterdam University. We brought Debby on the show, partially, because her dispensary is one of several stories we heard about being impacted by civil unrest and protests. We wanted to check-in and see how everyone is doing and what they have been doing to recover as well as deal with damage to her dispensary. Typically Oakland is a very competitive sport for dispensaries, even though hers has been around a very long time. Adult-use means lots of new spots have popped up in the neighborhood that was also impacted by property damage in recent months. Outside of what she's doing with her specific business, she's also very involved in the community in general. We talk about what she and her team are doing as far as conversations with the city and law enforcement.
Jessie Smith is the Executive Assistant to the Chancellor of Oaksterdam University. She joins us today on Truly Medicine Podcast to talk about her journey and how she became a part of this cannabis community. She has committed her life and surrounding environment to a clean continuous living situation and is on a journey that leads her to helping others within the cannabis industry. Jessie figured out years ago that in order to help oneself you must first look at oneself and really ask the question of whether or not something is good for your growth and then act upon that intuition.

Dr. Christine Arseneau share’s her story of how she was diagnosed with Lyme disease and how she immersed herself into the journey of self healing. This began with getting her stress in control learning to live in the moment through therapy and learning about her emotions, where breath played a major roll in learning to be present in the moment to relax and heal. Christine takes us through a short breathing exercise which takes us to a parasympathetic state, which as she explains, is that we as humans, unlike a wild animal, can choose to create that state by observing the mind, thus healing can take place. Her company is “Lyme Support” which addresses all aspects of the clients life. Her focus and expertise is also in cannabis (member of International Society of Cannabis Pharmacists ,Valedictorian form Oaksterdam University). She thrives on the challenge of brining someone with a complicated health history back to vibrant health through heath coaching, through experience in the medical field, plant medicine and tick-borne illnesses.

As the legal cannabis industry has expanded across the US over the past decade, green is the most prominent color seen in this space. In addition to the color of the flower, sales are projected to reach up to $30.4 billion in the US by 2023, States have generated as much as $369 million in cannabis tax revenues in a single year, and legal cannabis is said to support over 240,000 American jobs. The colors that aren’t seen as frequently in the industry are black and brown. It’s no secret that the prior prohibition of cannabis disproportionately and adversely impacted people in communities of color. In an attempt to counter this history of disparity, many states and cities have implemented social equity programs in connection to the legalization of medical or adult cannabis use. Tune in for a blunt (ha!) conversation with lifetime Oakland resident and Castlemont High School graduate, Alphonso Tucky Blunt as we discuss how he got into the cannabis business, the importance of education and networking within the industry -- particularly with Black professionals, other "non sexy" avenues to excel in the business, and his big plans for the future (hint hint Forbes cover)! While growing up in Oakland during the war on drugs era, Tucky managed to stay out of trouble and maintain a 4.0 GPA and a full time job while in high school. He was also using and selling cannabis. Cannabis sales to him was another form of employment.

Richard Lee's life changed forever when he slipped on a catwalk while setting up the lights for an Aerosmith concert, suffering a spinal injury that left him paralyzed from the waist down. A Texas native raised by conservative Republican parents, Richard would fight to educate his family, his state, and ultimately the entire country about medical cannabis. Eventually, he transformed an eight-block stretch of his adopted home town so thoroughly that it came to be known, affectionately, as Oaksterdam. Richard’s empire included two cannabis coffeeshops, a medical cannabis dispensary, a gift shop, his political headquarters, and the 30,000 square foot main campus of Oaksterdam University, the country’s first trade school dedicated to training people for careers in the legal cannabis industry. He then put up his own money to run a state-wide marijuana legalization initiative in California. Not long after, the Feds came to shut him down. And the city of Oakland rose up in his defense.

In this episode, I sit down with Bill Schenback...aka, Buffalo Bill, to introduce him to the show and start the conversation about cannabis cultivation, and much more. This is the first episode of 2020 and I'm excited for you to get to know Bill. He is the perfect guest to kick-start the show in the new decade. Bill is a natural-born teacher and a man with a lot of wisdom. He was my neighbor in Sonoma County, CA for the last year and during that time we became fast-friends, largely in part to the plant we both love, cannabis. Bill is a long-time grower and a graduate of Oaksterdam University. He possesses a unique ability to breakdown complex ideas and share thoughts in ways that you can understand, remember and use. My love and respect for cannabis grows every time I get a chance to connect with Bill and I believe he's going to have the same effect on you. Thank you to my sponsor: Nice Guys Delivery. Nice Guys Delivery is a leading California Cannabis Delivery Service operating out of Marin County, CA, where they sell cannabis to adults 21 years and older who possess a valid Government Issued ID, as well as to adults 18 years and older who have a valid Medical Recommendation.

www.EvaWorldwide.com Whole Plant Hemp Phytocannabinoid Therapy https://www.learntruehealth.com/phytocannabinoid Phytocannabinoid therapy can be significantly helpful if you’re looking into alternative ways of healing. I’m sure most of you have heard the benefits of hemp to address health issues. But surprisingly, whole plant hemp phytocannabinoid therapy can also heal pets. My guest Nicole Davidsohn has an exciting story to tell regarding phytocannabinoid therapy as well as educate us on the other healing benefits of this wonderful hemp herb. Series Of Accidents The Eva company story began in spring 2014 with a series of accidents. Eva founder Dane Kemp was in a near-death experience because of a car accident but still came to work. He did, however, suffer from post-concussion syndrome. His partner and co-founder Nicole Davidsohn, on the other hand, was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis. Doctors initially thought it was a stomach flu. Even with a flu protocol it never stopped. Nicole Davidsohn was misdiagnosed. It was only after a colonoscopy that she discovered she had ulcerative colitis. “The biggest thing I noticed with ulcerative colitis was fatigue. The way that it hurt my life was that I just wanted to sleep all day and I had no appetite,” shares Nicole Davidsohn. Before Nicole Davidsohn was diagnosed, she was a raw vegan. After her diagnosis, Nicole Davidsohn was prohibited by her doctor to eat raw foods and vegetables. So, she ate boiled chicken and sweet potatoes to get back on track. A few months later, Nicole Davidsohn fell on a flight of stairs. She ended up with misplaced ribs and extreme pain throughout her nervous system. Nicole Davidsohn still did a high-intensity workout class but felt worse after. Hence, she was rushed to the E.R., stopped going to work and eventually went into depression spiraled by her injuries. Health Struggle Weeks went by, and Nicole Davidsohn tried the medication the doctors gave her. The medicines were really strong which made Nicole Davidsohn sick. She slept a lot, avoided the sun and noise. Dane Kemp convinced her to move into their home in Baltimore so his mom could help take care of her, but Nicole Davidsohn’s condition didn’t improve. One night, Dane Kemp suggested to Nicole Davidsohn that they go to Oaksterdam University in California. He initially wanted to take their cannabis seminar on the history of growing. It was timely because, in 2015, the industry was beginning to open up. Availability Nicole Davidsohn says cannabis helped Dane Kemp in the past with attention issues. But on the East Coast, it’s not easy to get. Even if Nicole Davidsohn had a medical card for her ulcerative colitis, it limited her to two grams per day of the only strain they had which was blue dream. Blue Dream is a strain to get you thinking, be creative and invigorate your mind. “You can’t just smoke any cannabis and get relief from it because you have to have the correct ratio of cannabinoids and terpenes to help you with your specific ailment. In D.C., the dispensary you go to is dependent on your address,” Nicole Davidsohn said. Seeing An Opportunity Because of this, Dane Kemp saw an opportunity and also saw a way to help people. Taking a seminar at Oaksterdam University, the couple learned so much about cannabis, cannabinoids, growing it, its history, starting a business, and learning about the industry. Nicole Davidsohn also called up an old friend in California who gave her a bag of medical cannabis goodies like edibles, vapes, and joints including a type of caramel popcorn which contained THC. It was the first time she used cannabis as real medicine. Nicole Davidsohn ate the popcorn at night and slept well. It did have Tetrahydrocannabinol or THC in it, but she wasn’t high when she went to class. Instead, she just used it after class. The THC popcorn ultimately made Nicole Davidsohn feel better. Going back home to the East Coast, the couple did some preparations to move back to the West Coast to start a new life and begin healing holistically. Cannabis Juice When Nicole Davidsohn was in California, she had been studying the work of Dr. William Courtney who was famous for cannabis juice. She eventually wanted to grow her own vegan cannabis plant and juice it. “So, I bought an aero garden, planted some seeds and started growing cannabis like a normal herb on the counter. When it was big enough, I stuck it in my juicer with some turmeric and ginger. It tasted great,” said Nicole Davidsohn. Cannabis has acidic cannabinoids in its raw form. THC is THC-A, so it has a carbon molecule on it. Nicole Davidsohn says that for it to become psychoactive, or to make you feel high, you need to heat it to 220 degrees Fahrenheit for a certain amount of time. “When you juice it, just like you would go outside and take a fresh apple off a tree, chop it up and put in your juicer. I would take the bud off the plant and put in the juicer,” Nicole Davidsohn said. “It extracts all the cannabinoids, terpenes and chlorophyll which is super healthy for you. You won’t get stoned.” Effects of Juicing First thing Nicole Davidsohn felt was that her eyes widened, and her brain cleared up. It gave her four to six hours of energy. One reason is that raw cannabis is full of nutrients. It’s also a complete protein with all the essential amino acids. It has a ton of vitamins and minerals, too. “The reason why I started juicing was to help my brain recover, but it was also to help get my colitis back in remission,” revealed Nicole Davidsohn. “I think because I needed the nutrients, it started to slow my digestion and bring my body back to homeostasis instead of an inflamed state. It didn’t heal my post-concussion syndrome. I went to speech therapy for that.” She adds, “Juicing is not the easiest thing in the world. I juice three times a week. But once I made a container of it, it last three days unless you vacuum seal it then it will last seven days. I wasn’t consistent at first. For the first year, I was juicing every month and taking other cannabinoids as well.” Birth Of Eva Starting the company Eva, they began as the first 100% comprehensively lab-tested dispensary delivery in Sonoma County. Both Dane Kemp and Nicole Davidsohn got familiar with the certificate of analysis on everything. Eventually, Eva was the only dispensary in California in 2015 to have their menu comprehensively third-party lab-tested. “The juice inspired the capsules that we have. I made one called Better Brain which has Bacopa, Matcha and the whole hemp plant flower in it. The speech therapy plus the juice and Better Brain capsules helped my brain to heal,” revealed Nicole Davidsohn. Mary The Dog Mary was Nicole Davidsohn’s a Pit/Dalmatian mix who received a terminal lymphoma diagnosis in October 2016. She was given three months to live with or without chemotherapy. Nicole Davidsohn was making the juice at the time and helping people with assorted health ailments. So, she thought of giving Mary the juice by incorporating it in her food. It was not long before Mary went from being fatigued to energized. “We also bought some CBD oils and mixed it with the whole plant. They were raw oils. But Mary did not respond the same way compared to when she was given the juice,” recalled Nicole Davidsohn. “I think because the oil is fat-soluble, and it takes a lot longer to digest and be absorbed.” Nicole Davidsohn continued to give Mary the juice with turmeric and ginger. The dog continued to stay energized and didn’t get sick. After Eva company developed Better Pet Relief for Mary’s cancer and arthritis, Mary’s cancer has gone into remission. The capsules also help manage Mary’s arthritis. Aside from this, Nicole Davidsohn also adds a little bit of black pepper extract into Mary’s diet to help in the absorption. Compatibility With Hemp Nicole Davidsohn explains that we have an endocannabinoid system. Endo means inside. We already have receptors and cannabinoids in our body. And cannabinoids are also found in the plant cannabis. But when we’re stressed out, we make fewer cannabinoids naturally. “When we take in external cannabinoids from hemp or cannabis, it’s like getting a multivitamin. So, it’s fulfilling that deficiency. I like to think of it as vitamins,” said Nicole Davidsohn. “When I think of the endocannabinoid system, I think like it’s just another set of receptors for a vitamin that we aren’t taking any more.” She adds, “I believe we have an epidemic of what I call endocannabinoid deficiency syndrome. When people are deficient in making their natural cannabinoids, they feel so much better when they ingest CBD oil, Eva CBD capsules or edibles.” Dementia First of all, Nicole Davidsohn says their capsules can’t cure, treat or manage any disease. For dementia, in particular, she suggests their product, Better Brain. Nicole Davidsohn also revealed that the element Bacopa was used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years for dementia and there are studies behind it. But cannabis can also do that. All of Eva’s capsules contain whole flowers, so everything is raw. And it is made of organic hemp flowers. It aims to clear the brain and give you that phytocannabinoid nutrient in case you’re deficient in it which could also be causing memory loss. Nicole Davidsohn again assures everyone that the capsules will not get you stoned. Dosage According to Nicole Davidsohn, the capsules are formulated to last four hours. If you’re looking to last an entire day of super brain power, Nicole Davidsohn recommends taking one capsule when you wake up and another one in the afternoon. “The formulas are based on research I did to find the best dose of Bacopa, cannabinoids, and Matcha green tea,” Nicole Davidsohn said. “Bacopa is also an adaptogenic stress reliever. People use it for stress relief, and they also use it for pain relief.” Panic Attacks For panic attacks, Nicole Davidsohn highly suggests their Better Mood product. It contains Valerian Root, Lemon Balm, and Hemp. A little dose of Valerian Root helps you calm down. It’s used for insomnia, anxiety and increase GABA receptors. Nicole Davidsohn says Lemon Balm is safe even for kids. Many kids take Lemon Balm for anxiety and focus. Pain Medication Addiction Nicole Davidsohn says their formula may help someone with a pain medication addiction by employing phytocannabinoid therapy. As a person tapers off the hard pain drugs, Nicole Davidsohn suggests taking Better Relief Capsules. However, it is advisable to work with a doctor to help taper off the medications and increase the intake of raw cannabinoids with turmeric and ginger. “Many studies have shown how CBD and whole plant hemp can reduce the side effects of withdrawal by nourishing the endocannabinoid system,” said Nicole Davidsohn. “If we’re able to supplement the body with phytocannabinoids, it would help people get off pain medications more quickly.” Eva’s products are also safe for children because it is non-psychoactive. Nicole Davidsohn says all their capsules are whole herbs, whole plants, and raw vegan. Better Brain and Better Mood Capsules can help children focus better and address their emotional issues like anxiety. Nicole Davidsohn also says that one of the big things that children can benefit from phytocannabinoid therapy is to help them reduce toxin overload. Full Spectrum Full Spectrum would be including all of the cannabinoids and the naturally present terpenes in the plant. Nicole Davidsohn says you can get a Full Spectrum extract which would be using the whole plant. “Take a whole hemp flower, put it in some olive oil, shut it and put it in a dark place. Shake it once every day. Leave it in the dark cupboard for two weeks,” advises Nicole Davidsohn. “Then strain the oil out from the flower, and now you have a Full Spectrum Tincture.” Full Spectrum means it contains all of the cannabinoids and all of the terpenes that are naturally present in the plant. Nicole Davidsohn reveals that their company uses therapeutic hemp, specifically grown to be phytocannabinoid-rich, organic and does not have any contaminants in it. Eva Products There have been many success stories of people who have benefitted from cannabis juice and Eva’s products. Other worthy products to check out from the Eva website is Better Sleep and Better Pet Relief. As mentioned previously, Better Pet Relief helped Nicole Davidsohn’s dog get on the road to recovery.

CannaInsider - Interviews with the Business Leaders of The Legal Cannabis, Marijuana, CBD Industry
With the worldwide cannabis market projected to hit $32 billion by 2022, better training and information sharing will be paramount for industry newcomers in the years ahead. Enter Oaksterdam University, widely known as the Harvard of Cannabis. Since 2007, Oaksterdam has been the forerunner in providing the highest quality training offered in the cannabis industry and the first institution to address the growing needs of the marijuana movement, from patients to regulators. Such a focus has established Oaksterdam University as the first and only cannabis college with a comprehensive curriculum in cannabis business and horticulture. In this episode, Oaksterdam Executive Chancellor Dale Sky Jones joins us to share everything the university has to offer for those looking to achieve success in the cannabis industry. Learn more at https://oaksterdamuniversity.com Key Takeaways: Dale’s background in the cannabis industry and how she became executive chancellor of Oaksterdam University The crippling federal raid Oaksterdam underwent in 2012 and how Dale took over to ensure the university’s continued success Oaksterdam’s extensive curriculum and how the school determines its core programs and electives How the university’s student population has expanded beyond the U.S. to 40 different countries since it was founded in 2007 Oaksterdam’s online versus in-person programs How the university utilizes augmented reality in its courses Examples of students who have gone on to achieve great success in the cannabis industry following their time at Oaksterdam Dale’s advice to those looking to leave behind their current careers and enter the cannabis industry
An interview with Mitcho Thompson, herbalist and wizard behind Phytomagic.It has been predicted that the “Wellness” industry is set to overtake the “Illness” industry in the coming decade. I have no idea if this is true or even verifiable, but there is little doubt that woke baby boomers are investing in preventing their bodies from breaking down rather than treating the symptoms once they’ve already wreaked havoc. As followers of this podcast know, cannabinoids are key to keeping the body’s engine humming at high performance. This interview with Mitcho Thompson is about blending cannabinoids with other herbs to increase their healing powers.Mitcho is one of California’s early cannabis pioneers, an herbalist and a founding member of Peace in Medicine one of the state’s first dispensaries. He is Chancellor Emeritus of Oaksterdam University and a VP of the Sonoma Chapter of Americans for Safe Access. Plants are his pharmacy.We met at his home in beautiful Sonoma county, California. A pet emu grazed in the front yard and the back yard was a shambolic Eden of giant cannabis plants (trees, really) and about 100 herbs all of which he knows by name and effect. Mitcho hand harvests plants like skullcap, passion flower and hops, blends them with other extracts of cacao, ginger, kaffir lime, and then turns them into tinctures (which are alcohol based) and oils (which increase the uptake of cannabinoids into the bloodstream). His two dozen remedies treat insomnia, inflammation, aching muscles, menstrual cramps and low energy, to name a few.Interestingly, some formulas are made with decarboxylated (heated) cannabis oils, which make them psychoactive, but most are made with raw cannabinoids, so you feel the effects without getting high. I’ve been sampling them over the last few weeks. The sleep formula has been working like a charm and the energy booster (called “Disco Fiesta Tonic”), which I took one evening before dinner, definitely put some pep in my step. I didn’t realize it was psychoactive until people at the table kept remarking on the increasing number of smiles spreading across my face as dinner progressed.NOTE: Peace in Medicine is now owned by the SF-based SPARC, so Californians should be able to buy Mitcho’s formulas, which will be sold under the PHYTOMAGIC brand, in any of SPARC’s four dispensaries. Keep an eye out.
Driving under the influence of marijuana: What will the rules and regulations be and what SHOULD they be? Angela Kokott chats with Paul Armentano, Deputy Director of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and also serves as a faculty member at Oaksterdam University.
In Episode #13, we talk with Isaac Roth, Head of Cannabis Marketing and Sales at Anresco Labs in San Francisco, CA. We talk about the upcoming recreational legality coming to California in 2018. Isaac discusses potential growing pains as testing and regulation may stagnate the flow of product initially. He believes it will eventually untangle into a healthy and lucrative system. The laboratory element to creating a product that is pure is crucial to all patients, and especially those with pulmonary illnesses. We then continue our discussion with Alex Soria, a graduate of the remarkable Oaksterdam University in Oakland, CA. Alex is now active on the front lines of Pennsylvania's imminent acceptance of cannabis.This equates to easier access for patients who might benefit from specific strains. The PA area currently works in a 6 zone system that carefully monitors how many dispensaries are permitted in each locale. The template, perhaps, is a good way to begin as they aim to conform to demand while assuming control of the unknown.
In Episode 12, Hosts Joshua Braff and Farmer Adam Titelbaum speak with Oaksterdam University graduate Alex Soria. Oaksterdam, in Oakland, CA, is an education designed for the booming cannabis industry, covering everything from business aspects to cooking, to growing, to writing appropriate letters to local legislation. Alex is working to further the progression of cannabis as medicine in PA, where he is originally from. The notion of “smokeless' cannabis is one of the snags found in Pennsylvania's efforts to conform. Also, we continue our discussion with Marine Ryan Miller who heads up a support group for veterans at the Apothecarium in SF, CA. Ryan is also the founder of Operation EVAC (Educating Veterans About Cannabis). Scottie, also a Marine, tells us how his lymphoma stopped growing when he utilized CBD. Also discussed, CBD for PTSD and the great importance of family support and community outreach avenues for all veterans in need.
Now a three-time Cannabis Cup winner, Kirk’s journey into the edibles field began like so many others… out of necessity. Suffering from Multiple Sclerosis, he was in the hospital recovering when a close friend brought him a marijuana laced edible. He tried it, it worked, and since then he’s been hard at work developing tasty recipes and whipping up cannabis infused treats for both local patients as well as celebrities such as Tommy Chong and Willie Nelson, who’s a HUGE fan of Kirk’s infused Key Lime Cheesecake! Kirk is not only a GRADUATE of Oaksterdam University, he’s also a certified OU INSTRUCTOR, teaching both infusion and extraction techniques to patients who want to learn how to make medicinal quality edibles at home. When he’s not in the kitchen, he’s traveling and advocating for the cause. As a member of NORML and Americans for Safe Access, he speaks at public events on a regular basis, championing the cause of marijuana decriminalization and legalization. Today he’s here to talk with us about all things EDIBLES.
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.
Dale Sky Jones is the executive chancellor of Oaksterdam University, an internationally recognized cannabis education institution based out of Oakland, California. In this podcast episode, Dale is interviewed by renowned cannabis advocate Bianca Green for the first episode of her Spark the Conversation podcast, produced in partnership with Ganjapreneur. This interview was recorded last fall during the Spark the Conversation bus tour across California, during which Bianca and her team bused around the state talking to cannabis advocates and experts in preparation for the November elections. This means that the conversation took place before California, Nevada, Maine, and Massachusetts voted to legalize adult-use cannabis — and before Donald Trump's victory in the U.S. presidential election. The following interview contains some truly amazing stories from Dale. Tune in below to hear about how Dale quit her corporate career to dedicate her life to cannabis education and activism; her experience being targeted in a 2007 federal raid on Oaksterdam University; the moment that she realized that motherhood, specifically the ingrained instinct to shelter and protect her children, goes hand-in-hand with advocating for safer and smarter cannabis policies; and much, much more.

DESTIGMATIZATION! The Stigma of Cannabis must end! Featuring some of our favorite guests from past iC episodes, including cannabis legends Debby Goldsberry + Todd McCormick, founder of Meadow, David Hua, and Chancellor Dale Sky Jones of Oaksterdam University, we compiled together an awesome video discussing cannabis stigma and the impact legalization will have in changing that. We want to thank all who came before us in this fight for legalization and destigmatization! It's been a long road, and while we've made great progress (8 of 9 states legal in 2016!), there is much left to fight for. Onward!
Listen NowThis past November, voters in seven states legalized marijuana either for medical or for recreational use. Twenty-nine states have now legalized cannabis for medicinal use (and of these eight, along with the District of Columbia, for recreational use). Despite growing state legalization, the debate concerning marijuana's health effects continues. Recently, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) published an extensive scientific review of research literature published since 1999 to reach nearly 100 conclusions about its therapeutic benefits including in the treatment for chronic pain in adults, chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting and Multiple Sclerosis-related spasticity. Despite state approval and demonstrated health benefits, at the federal level, marijuana is still classified as a Schedule I controlled substance (along with, e.g., heroin), and its use illegal. Mr. Paul Armentano is the Deputy Director of NORML, the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. He is also a faculty member at Oaksterdam University in Oakland, California. His is the author of over 200 publications including more than a dozen contributions to textbooks and anthologies. His most recent book-length work is, The Citizen's Guide to State-by-State Marijuana Laws (2015) and he is co-author of the 2013 volume, Marijuana is Safer: Why Are We Driving People to Drink? Mr. Armentano was the principle investigator for the defense counsel in US v Schweder, the first federal evidentiary hearing since 1973 to challenge the constitutionality of cannabis as a Schedule I controlled substance. He also served as an expert in a successful Canadian constitutional challenge, Crown v. Allard, preserving qualified patients right to grow cannabis at home. Among other awards Mr. Armentano was the 2013 Freedom Law School Health Freedom Champion of the Year.

As an internationally known cannabis activist and advocate, Ed views marijuana law as a crucial social issue: one that hit him personally. In 1999, Ed was appointed, “Officer of the City of Oakland”, directed to cultivate cannabis for patients. Three years later, the federal government shut down his city-supported facility. Ed was arrested and put on trial twice for marijuana cultivation in federal court. Ed's highly publicized trials shifted public opinion in favor of state medical marijuana laws, highlighting for many the fact that marijuana laws have become more harmful to society than the behavior they were intended to regulate.
