Podcasts about tahira rehmatullah

In today's episode, we dive into the complex history of cannabis legalization and its ongoing impact on racial justice. We sit down with Professor Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and cannabis entrepreneur Tahira Rehmatullah, co-authors of Waiting to Inhale, to explore the failures of the War on Drugs, the inequities in cannabis-related arrests, and how the industry can move toward social justice. Tune in to understand how cannabis can right past wrongs and create a more just future. “If we're recognizing that prohibition is a failed policy, why is it that we would still leave the individuals who were criminalized and our society to deal with the negative ramifications or effects of that prohibition? It makes no sense, right? We've recognized it's a failure. We're looking to move on. Let's bring the people who are negatively harmed along with us.” If you enjoyed this episode, we'd recommend Episode 95, 1st Time I Bought Legal Weed with Evelynn LaChapelle.

Authors Akwasi Owusu-Bempah and Tahira Rehmatullah join Jeyan Jeganathan to discuss their book, ,Waiting to Inhale: Cannabis Legalization and the Fight for Racial Justice," which examines how the criminalization of marijuana harmed racialized communities in the U.S. and Canada, and ways to make the legalized cannabis industry more inclusive.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I speak with author and advocate Tahira Rehmatullah about her and Akwasi Owusu-Bempah's book, Waiting To Inhale: Cannabis Legalization and the Fight for Racial Justice. From the start drug laws have been targeted towards Black, Brown and Indigenous Americans and their communities have suffered for generations because of these policies. Rehmatullah details how legalization is just one aspect of the Cannabis movement, and that we also need racial justice going forward as well as for those who have already been persecuted. I implore all to give this book a read as this is an issue that affects us all in some surprising and endemic ways.

  Brian and Lee talk with Tahira Rehmatullah, co-author of the book “Waiting To Inhale”. Find out which individuals and communities have been harmed in the war on drugs. The post The Brian and Lee Show: Interview with Tahira Rehmatullah appeared first on WWDB-AM.

From the start, the War on Drugs targeted Black, Brown, and Indigenous Americans already disadvantaged by a system stacked against them. Even now, as white Americans who largely escaped the fire capitalize on the legalization movement and a booming cannabis industry, their less fortunate peers continue to suffer the consequences of the systemic racism in policing and failed drug policy that fueled the original crisis. Waiting to Inhale illuminates the stories of those on the front lines of the War on Drugs—the individuals and communities disproportionately harmed, sometimes seemingly beyond repair; the official and social forces ranged against them; and the victims, legal and political activists, and cannabis entrepreneurs who are fighting back. Join us when Tahira Rehmatullah co-author of In Waiting to Inhale, discuss a racial reckoning and provide a roadmap to redress this deep and abiding injustice.

Tahira Rehmatullah is an entrepreneur and investor who is sits on the Board of Directors for Last Prisoner Project, a non-profit organization that seeks to free the tens of thousands Americans still incarcerated for outdated cannabis (marijuana) offenses.  Her new book, "Waiting to Inhale: Cannabis Legalization and the Fight for Racial Justice," sheds light on the stories of Black and other underrepresented groups who were disproportionately harmed by the "War on Drugs" and the activists who are now fighting back.

A message from Green Rush host Anne Donohoe:  Dear Green Rush friends - Happy 150th episode day! The Green Rush podcast started as an experiment three years ago (!) and now, 150 episodes later, we have become one of the “go to” podcasts in the industry! We now get pitched (every day!) by other PR pros wanting their execs to come on. It’s been a wild ride! When we started this, I thought we’d maybe do 10 episodes and call it a day. I mean who else would be willing to talk to us?! Turns out – a lot of people! From “big names” like Jim Belushi, Ziggy Marley, Kevin Smith, Congressman Earl Blumenauer (twice!), Mike Tyson and Senator Tom Daschle, to leaders in the industry like Kevin Murphy, Tahira Rehmatullah, Joe Lusardi, Kris Krane, Chanda Macias, Jeanne Sullivan, Irwin Simon – and the list goes on. We wanted to create a platform where people can come on and have the runway to tell their stories in their own words. We wanted to hear about their personal journeys with cannabis, as well as their entrepreneurial aspirations in this crazy industry. It was created as a space for honest discussion and discourse – with a goal of having our listeners learn something along the way. We hope we have accomplished that goal.  Big HUGE thanks to the KCSA partners, Lewis (Lewis and then Lewis again), Todd & Jeffrey for taking a chance with us. When Lewis and I came to you with this crazy idea – you said run with it. Nick Opich - you are vital!
