What this episode covers
In this episode, Monica Roerig Olano confronts the deep-seated hypocrisy within the alcohol industry and its impact on cannabis legislation. Despite her personal financial stakes—given her family's involvement in New Orleans' bar scene—Monica boldly challenges the misinformation spread by big alcohol companies. She delves into how these entities manipulate laws to favor their interests under the guise of protecting 'the children,' while funding politicians to maintain their grip on public perception. Join Monica as she unravels the complex web of politics and money, advocating for transparency and truth in how our drug policies are shaped. It's time to see beyond the smoke and mirrors and work together to create a fairer world for future generations.
