Storm King is a retired social media, social activist who loves telling stories about growing up as a hippie. He was raised by his mother, Marge King, and some went by his aunt, Jean Mayo Millay. For various reasons, those two ladies ended up smack dab in the middle of some of the most seminal events of the hippie era. Including the famous 1966 Watts Acid Test. And the 1967 Monterey International Pop Festival. Storm was also in attendance, as one of the few children, at both those events. His family members were devout followers of, and to a degree, friends with, Timothy Leary, whom they met in 1964. Storm received his first dose of very pure LSD from his mother in the proper set and setting in the fall of 1965, just before he turned 12. After an initial career as an electronics technician, Storm went back to school later in life and got a Ph.D. in clinical psychology.

Our collective understanding of this surprising plant has been muddled by politics and morality; what we think we know isn’t the real story. A war on cannabis has been waged in the United States since the early years of the twentieth century, yet in the past decade, society has undergone a massive shift in perspective that has allowed us to reconsider our beliefs. In Brave New Weed, Joe Dolce travels the globe to "tear down the cannabis closet" and de-mystify this new frontier, seeking answers to the questions we didn’t know we should ask. Dolce heads to a host of places, including Amsterdam, Israel, California, and Colorado, where he skillfully unfolds the odd, shocking, and wildly funny history of this complex plant. From the outlandish stories of murder trials where defendants claimed "insanity due to marijuana consumption" to the groundbreaking success stories about the plant’s impressive medicinal benefits, Dolce paints a fresh and much-needed portrait of cannabis, our changing attitudes toward it, and the brave new direction science and cultural acceptance are leading us. Enlightening, entertaining, and thought-provoking, Brave New Weed is a compelling read that will surprise and educate proponents on both sides of the cannabis debate.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">https://api.spreaker.com/episode/44203681</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Apr 2021 13:02:00 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/44203681/hemp_joedolce.mp3" length="50205637" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Cannabis Radio</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Brave New Weed: Adventures into the Uncharted World of Cannabis with author Joe Dolce today on Hempresent only on Cannabis Radio.

Being Black Or Brown In The Green Rush is A practical guide for women and people of color to make money in the legal marijuana industry. Awarded the Authority in Aspiring Entrepreneurs award by New York Times bestselling authors, Jack Canfield and Raymond Aaron, Ingrid has been an entrepreneur for more than 30 years. Raised in Chicago, Ingrid was always quick to recognize untapped opportunities. She launched a luxury sugar-free chocolate company in the height of the decadent 80s and started a prepaid cellular company (before there was such a thing) in the late 90s. Ingrid later earned her law degree from the University of Detroit Mercy School of Law, receiving many awards while a law student. Ingrid relocated, with her teen daughter, to Arizona to join her family in the early 2000s. She enjoyed the fruits of the real estate market in 2006 and unfortunately experienced the bust in 2008. Ingrid became involved in the cannabis industry in its infancy in 2010. As this book outlines, she faced many of the trials and tribulations that are inherent in the industry, particularly as a woman of color, in a conservative state, whose politicians don't support any sensible drug reform, including cannabis legalization. At the time she started in the industry, Ingrid was one of the few minority women for several years. The award-winning author lives in Phoenix, Arizona, with her significant other, Eddy.

In December 1989, Richard DeLisi was sentenced to a total of 98 years in prison for trafficking cannabis as part of a RICO case. Richard was caught as part of a reverse-sting/entrapment operation for trafficking cannabis into the State of Florida. Richard and his brother Theodore were both charged for cannabis trafficking - his brother served 24 years in total and was released in 2013. This case was based on intelligence from an informant for the Florida Department of Law Enforcement who was cooperating due to impending firearms and cocaine charges. Ashley Delisi is the daughter of Richard Delisi. Ashely has been fighting to get her father released with every last breath. The toll Delisi’s incarceration has had on his family is immeasurable including the death of his wife and his son from pill overdoses. Ashley herself has suffered from depression and anxiety disorder and multiple other health issues due to the loss of her father. She wants to get to know her father. Ashley wants to help him rebuild his life one step at a time. “My dad doesn't even know how to use a cell phone. I will teach him,” she said.

The company is a service company that also sells scales; it is not a scale dealer that offers service. Every scale used for commerce in Washington — regardless of whether it’s weighing steaks or weighing marijuana — needs to be National Type Evaluation Program (NTEP) approved and have a security seal applied so the merchant can’t “cheat the scale". In the case of 502-licensed producers and processors, there are two basic scales companies will need: a bench scale for 5- and 15-pound lots for producers dealing in bulk, and a smaller scale for processors that looks more like a pharmaceutical scale and measures down to tenths of a gram. For example, the potential slop from 10,000 one-gram packages on a scale with .1 gram resolution could be as much as 1,000 grams. This also highlights the need for scales to be checked for accuracy. Regardless of where business owners buy their scales, it’s critical that you have a scale company come out and check the scale you’re using. People assume it’s accurate out of the box.

Dr. Ross is a neuroscientist and health coach with a passion to help patients with chronic illness live their best life ever. Dr. Ross is both a cannabinoid medicine researcher and a cannabis patient. After being diagnosed with fibromyalgia, neuropathy, and chronic pelvic pain, cannabis and kratom were the only treatments that reduced her symptoms and allowed her to return to work. After hearing thousands of extraordinary patient stories just like hers, Dr. Ross was compelled to ensure cannabis and other natural substances become part of the American healthcare regimen. Dr. Ross was frustrated by the lack of education on the endocannabinoid system both doctors and scientists received, despite medical cannabis being used by millions of patients nationwide. In 2013, she founded the Endocannabinoid Deficiency Foundation, later known as IMPACT Network, which was the first nonprofit to provide research and advocacy on cannabis for women’s health. Dr. Ross has been a guest expert on TV and radio shows including The Doctors, The Ricki Lake Show, and KFI. She sits on the Medical Advisory Board of several companies, including NanoSphere-Health Sciences, and is active in drug policy, working to decriminalize cannabis, kratom, and psychedelics around the world as a founding board member of the Society for Psychedelic Outreach, Reform and Education.

Hayes was caught trying to smuggle four pounds of hashish out of Turkey on October 7, 1970. He was originally sentenced to four years and two months in a Turkish prison; with his release date weeks away, he learned that the authorities had chosen to penalize him with a life sentence for smuggling instead of possession. Hayes was imprisoned at Sağmalcılar Prison in Turkey. Following an incident in prison, he was transferred in 1972 to Bakırköy Psychiatric Hospital, described as a "lunatic asylum." The United States Department of State on several occasions pressured Turkey to transfer sentencing to the United States, however Turkish foreign minister Melih Esenbel stated that the United States was not in a position to dispute a sentence issued by a Turkish court. Esenbel stated privately to officials that a release might be possible on humanitarian grounds if Hayes' physical or mental health was deteriorating, but in a private consultation, Hayes stated to U.S. diplomats that his experience at Bakırköy Psychiatric Hospital in 1972 was highly traumatic and he did not have confidence that the hospital would certify him for early release; Hayes also stated that he felt attempts to win early release would jeopardize his prospects of being transferred to a more desirable half-open prison. On May 12, 1975, the Turkish Constitutional Court declared amnesty for all drug offenses, which shortened Hayes' sentence from life to 30 years.

In 2002 he founded the Bud Buddies UK Medicinal Cannabis Organisation and in doing so became a poster boy for medicinal cannabis in the UK.

At the age of four months old, she had her first grand mal seizure. It lasted for 45 minutes. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with a condition called Dravet syndrome, a debilitating form of epilepsy that doesn’t respond to conventional medication and leaves a host of developmental challenges in its wake. Ava’s seizures can last anywhere from a couple of minutes to several hours. One seizure was so bad, it left Ava in cardiac arrest. After years of failed attempts to get Ava’s seizures under control, the family was granted permission from the Irish government to treat her with a CBD-only strain of medical cannabis. Ava’s seizures reduced dramatically, by approximately 85%. While on this CBD treatment, Ava experienced her longest seizure free stretch in 7 years, a previously unreachable 11 days. This is indeed a great start. A combination of CBD (one of the compounds found in cannabis) and THC (the psychoactive component in cannabis) is widely accepted as sound treatment among knowing medical cannabis professionals and among many parents who have tried it with their children in states that allow it. Sadly, there is still shockingly little clinical evidence to support these case studies. However, the esteemed European Journal of Epilepsy, “Seizure” published Israel’s 2016 clinical study on cannabis medicine in the treatment of epilepsy. The conclusion demonstrated extremely promising results.The ratios they used in their study of 74 pediatric patients were 20% CBD 0.5-1% THC. Vera has been a dear friend of CananTech’s since we first met her at the International Conference on Medical Cannabis hosted at the European Parliament in Brussels last year. We have been following her story closely ever since.

After several years promoting shows throughout North America and Europe, McKinley realized that legal weed was a perfect way to promote up and coming artists—offer a song and a joint that will work together to bring your high to the next level.]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>1777</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>activist,cannabis,cannabis activist,hemp,hempfest</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>false</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/86cf2db3a47e73e7a683de7a317b00e6.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Utah Pain Patient Enedina Stanger And Surviving Hospice with Cannabis</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/utah-pain-patient-enedina-stanger-and-surviving-hospice-with-cannabis--13567988</link><description><![CDATA[Today on Hempresent Vivian McPeak is joined by Utah pain patient Enedina Stanger. Enedina Stanger stayed behind in the parking lot while her two young daughters were shopping with their father in South Weber, Utah. She suffers from the rare and potentially fatal genetic tissue disorder Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. She lit up a marijuana cigarette and rolled down the window of her van to let out the smoke when she was done. That’s when somebody passing by called the police, claiming Enedina was smoking in front of her daughters, who by then had returned to the parking lot with their father, Mike Stanger.<br /><br /><br /><br />Enedina was booked and released from the Weber County Jail and charged with third-degree felony child endangerment and misdemeanor possession of a controlled substance. The felony was later dropped and a judge ordered probation instead of jail time, but the incident has thrown the Utah homemaker’s life into a whirlwind of frustrations.<br /><br /><br /><br />Vivian also speaks with Meagan Holt, a Parent of cannabis patient child named Maddie, and her story of her daughter ended up Surviving Hospice with the help of Cannabis Oil. Last year, Meagan and Brandon Holt’s daughter, who suffers from a rare and debilitating disease called Zellweger Syndrome, was given only a short time to live, and her family was forced to do what no family can ever imagine – put a 2-year-old in Hospice care.<br /><br /><br /><br />Maddie is deaf and blind, and entirely dependent upon round the clock medical care. Prior to being placed in Hospice care, Maddie developed life-threatening horrific seizures which sent her health into a downward spiral. But then something amazing happened. Meagan began researching the effects of cannabis on intractable, or untreatable epilepsy. She found one last hope, cannabis. Being in Washington state, where medical and recreational marijuana is legal, Meagan got authorization, and then a beautiful group of people began donating whole plant cannabis extract to their family.]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">SEVNUC1CRVNUT0YyMDE3Lm1wMw==</guid><pubDate>Tue, 12 Dec 2017 19:24:29 +0000</pubDate><enclosure url="https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/13567988/episode.mp3" length="28918244" type="audio/mpeg"/><itunes:author>Cannabis Radio</itunes:author><itunes:subtitle>Today on Hempresent Vivian McPeak is joined by Utah pain patient Enedina Stanger.

Morris is pioneering the reintroduction of hemp paper into American business and marketing. His passion for delivering professional printing on 100% sustainable, tree-free, hemp-blended paper is infectious. Beagle is motivated by more than just the myriad environmental benefits of hemp-blended paper. After humans moved past clay, stone and wax tablets and papyrus scrolls, approximately 75-90% of the world’s paper was made from hemp until the late 1800s. And Beagle understands that knowing one’s history is key to understanding one’s destiny. Until modern times, paper was actually made from worn-out and discarded hemp cloth from rope, sails, clothing, diapers, home furnishings and rags. The term “rag paper” is derived from this use.

During the pregnancy of her fifth child, Jessamyn developed terrible migraine headaches, fainting spells, and blood pressure problems. After the birth of her child she was sent to a hospital ER where a CAT scan revealed that she had a brain tumor deep within her skull. She was told that her prognosis was very grim and that she had a dismal 5-10% chance of surviving the required surgery.She became resigned to the fact that she would be leaving behind her children ages 11 days, 2, 4, and 14 years old.<br /><br />Miraculously she survived the operation, but Jessamyn was left with severe epilepsy. The medications prescribed had only limited successes controlling her severe seizures. As many as 25 different pharmaceutical medications were tried in maximum doses with up to 6 different types at a time. Rather than preventing her seizures, these medications left her with side-effects and complications such as GERD, Fibromyalgia, IBS, sleeping disorders and pain to name only a few.<br /><br />Jessamyn decided try a combination of THC and CBD along with her prescription medications. on the first day her seizures dropped more that 50%, and within a week the frequency of her seizures dropped another 25%. With a 75% decrease in seizures, she was able to go outside again and play with her children.<br /><br />In 2012 she was diagnosed with an Intrinsic Brainstem Glioma, an inoperable terminal tumor in the brain stem. Not wanting to endure chemo, she decided to increase her medical cannabis use and initiate a complete lifestyle change. Jessamyn switched to an organic vegan diet, and organic household products, which helped her in amazing ways. Her brainstem tumor stopped growing and began to fade from MRI screenings. She also dropped from a dress size 24 to a size 6. She went from sleeping all day on the couch to competing in Sprint Triathlons.<br /><br />After losing another pregnancy from the harsh meds she was being prescribed, Jessamyn decided to quit all of her medications choosing to focus on finding the most effective medical cannabis treatments for her survival. By cutting her medications, increasing the use of cannabis oil, she was able to control her seizures. Eventually she was able to stop taking all of the prescription medications treating her multiple conditions. She went from taking 30 pills a day to just 3.

Krassner was a child violin prodigy and was the youngest person ever to play Carnegie Hall, in 1939 at age six. Krassner is firmly secular, considering religion "organised superstition," though his parents were Jewish. Paul majored in journalism at Baruch College, the transitioned into performing as a comedian known as Paul Maul. Paul was active in politically edged humor and satire in the late 1950s and early 1960s.<br /><br /> He was a founder of the Youth International Pary (Yippies) in 1967 and a member of Ken Kessy's Merry Pranksters for prankster activism. In 1963, he created what Kurt Vonnegut described as "a miracle of compressed intelligence nearly as admirable for potent simplicity, in my opinion, as Einstein's e=mc2." Vonnegut said "With the Vietnam War going on, and with its critics discounted and scorned by the government and the mass media, Krassner put on sale a red, white and blue poster that said FUCK COMMUNISM. At the beginning of the 1960s, FUCK was believed to be so full of bad magic as to be unprintable...
