The Early Episodes #5 - Reefer Madness

In this episode, we discuss the sensation that is "Reefer Madness" and the nonsensical history and laws behind the classification of marijuana as a Schedule I drug. We flashback to the initial appearance of marijuana in the United States and carry into where we are now. There is a "Catch-22" facing the researching of marijuana to legalize it, and it contributes to the standstill we are at in federal legalization. We implore you to get active and make your voice heard in your community in the hopes to remove these confusing laws and change the unnecessarily negative stigmas around marijuana.
