Summary
It's been ten years since Colorado first legalized adult-use weed. Over that decade, the way journalists and their audiences have related to cannabis has drastically changed. That's largely thanks to a crew of reporters at The Denver Post who, in 2013, launched The Cannabist, the first mainstream media outlet's coverage of cannabis at the very dawn of legalization. And they did it with great journalistic integrity, setting the tone for future journalists for how to reliably report on pot.In this episode, host Brit Smith talks to the founder of The Cannabist, Ricardo Baca, about how the US mainstream media's coverage of cannabis has evolved and impacted society and cannabis culture.Brit and Ricardo talk about his experience being hired as the first US cannabis editor at the start of mainstream cannabis journalism. They discuss the stigma he faced on nightly talk shows, the kinds of stories he remembers covering, how his team chose what to cover and the right tone to use, and which articles got the most pushback and support.They also talk about what Ricardo has seen change in how major outlets cover the cannabis industry and culture over the last decade, where he sees the future of cannabis culture going, how journalism plays a part in that growth, and what he's doing now with his marketing and PR firm Grasslands: A Journalism-Minded Agency.Follow us on social media @DifferentLeaf and find host Brit Smith @BritTheBritishGo to DifferentLeaf.com to get your copy of our latest magazine issue or to find your local in-person retailer.

The Last Promise: Duty, Loss, and Healing - With Scott Tatum
Release Date: 02/26/2024
Description: Scott Tatum is a seasoned veteran in the fields of emergency medicine and tactical medical support. With over 35 years of experience, Scott's career has spanned the adrenaline-fueled roles of helicopter rescue work, street medic, and currently, the med team leader for a county sheriff's Bomb Squad and Tact Team, in addition to teaching tactics to aircrew members for US Customs and Border Protection Air & Marine Operations. This episode, however, takes us on a different kind of mission: Scott shares the profound and personal story of fulfilling a promise to his mother as she faced the end of her life due to aggressive cancer. The decision to ensure her passing was without suffering, the conversations had, the goodbyes shared, and the ultimate act of love and duty performed. Scott opens up about the mental and emotional toll this experience exerted on him, leading to a complete erasure of his memories of his mother before that fateful day. Despite undergoing extensive therapy, including EMDR, the memories remain elusive, sparking questions about the impact of high-stress professions on personal relationships and mental health. Join us as Scott reflects on his incredible journey through medicine and rescue, the challenges of compartmentalizing professional and personal identities, and the silent struggles that professionals like him face.
