Best Of BPR 5/14: Shaleen Title Goes Behind The Marijuana Rescheduling Headlines & Trump's Election Interference Mishegoss With Nancy Gertner

For the last 54 years, marijuana has been classified as a Schedule I drug: a category that carries drastic criminal penalties and also includes hard drugs like heroin. But the Biden administration has the power to change that as scientists at the FDA are now recommending it be reclassified in a much less severe category. But Jonathan wonders, would descheduling marijuana be enough to solve all of the issues caused by the War on Drugs?

Shaleen Title is an attorney and longtime drug policy activist who has been writing, passing, and implementing equitable cannabis laws for over 20 years.

Welcome to spring 2023, and our 100th episode! We're excited to welcome our first guest host, former Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commissioner and social equity champion, and the CEO of the Parabola Center for Law & Policy, Shaleen Title.In this episode, Shaleen finds out what small cannabis companies can learn from her dream guest, Ben Cohen, co-founder of Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream and founder of the new cannabis non-profit Ben's Best Blnz.Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream has long been famous for supporting causes its founders care about, including cannabis legalization which specifically focuses on equity and justice for communities of color. Last year, Ben continued that mission by starting the Vermont-based nonprofit Ben's Best Blnz, which specializes in growing cannabis with moderate levels of THC, and gives all profits to the state's Black cannabis community and groups advocating for criminal justice reform.Shaleen and Ben discuss how Ben & Jerry's Ice Cream Company started, and how it stayed value-driven and community-focused despite going international. Ben opens up about his and Jerry's experience fighting off the wealthy Pillsbury Doughboy back in the 1980s, and he talks about what small cannabis companies today can learn from their success going up against big wealthy corporations.Ben and Shaleen also discuss how, as massive cannabis companies start to act like they're locally owned, small cannabis companies can stay in business and remain focused on quality and community. They also talk about karma in business, building customer loyalty through aligned values, and their shared vision for the future of the cannabis industry.Get your Spring 2023 issue of Different Leaf the magazine at DifferentLeaf.com and flip to page 36 to read more on Ben and Shaleen's conversation, and to enjoy a rare early-day photo of Ben and Jerry from back in the 70s!Find out more about our guests; Shaleen Title at parabolacenter.com and Ben Cohen at bensbest.comFollow us on social media @DifferentLeaf and find host Brit Smith @BritTheBritishGot to DifferentLeaf.com to get your copy of our latest magazine issue.

The criminalization of cannabis was a foundational pillar of the New Jim Crow. Now, the decriminalization of cannabis might just make a small number of white and privileged folks really rich. Shaleen Title is working to make sure that the burgeoning cannabis market in Massachusetts is one that accounts for and corrects that inequity.

On-hiatus regular and current member of the Massachusetts Cannabis Control Commission Shaleen Title joins host Kris Krane to talk about how things are going in Massachusetts as the state rolls out legal adult use cannabis for the first time. Produced by Shea Gunther.

To listen to the state's newest regulatory commission in its meetings, the tenor and terms, for the most part, are no different than hearings regarding oversight of most industries in the state. But the big difference is the industry they are charged with overseeing – legal marijuana – and members of the Cannabis Control Commission have just hit a historic milestone, finalizing regulations to get legal recreational sale and use of marijuana ready to roll. “July 1 is the start date, not the end date,” says commission chairman Steven Hoffman, who along with commissioner Shaleen Title joined The Codcast to talk about the regulations. “The industry is going to take time to evolve. It's going to take a few years, I believe, before this industry looks mature.”

Cannabis activist Shaleen Title joins us and takes us through her early realization that numbers made sense foisting her into accounting only to realize that drug policy was where she wanted to be. She joined SSDP and eventually had a hand in Amendment 64 passing in Colorado. She went to law school to get well versed in legal writing, political speech and how the law worked to serve her in her cannabis law reform work. She moved to the east coast and served in tax law for six months- her first day of orientation being the economic crash- which had her realize that the universe didn’t want or need her where she was- "Lehman just went down- but here’s your desk." Which is ultimately what set her on her ultimate path of full time cannabis policy.

Shaleen Title, Esq. shares what it's like running a THC staffing agency, and why she believes the weed biz is such a great place for women to work. The Women Promoted on this Episode: "Sue Taylor just won a license in Berkeley to open the first dispensary that is aimed at seniors, and to my knowledge she's the first black female senior to own a dispensary," says Shaleen. "Dispensaries can be kind of like hip, young places, which is great, but it's not great when you have seniors who need to feel comfortable asking questions and learning, and so I think her dispensary in Berkeley, which is going to be called 'I Can,' is going to be so groundbreaking and historic, and Sue Taylor is an amazing person with no fear and such a wonderful, strong woman."
