Ep. 4: Medical Marijuana (Extra Credit)

De: Neal Pollack, Elijah Pollack

Annoyed at the hopelessly dated anti-drug program at his 13-year-old son Elijah's Texas public school, writer Neal Pollack decides to take Elijah to Colorado, for a more modern drug education. There, Elijah meets a marijuana journalist and a family of medical-marijuana activists, who teach him that there's more to learn about drugs than "just say no."

Better than I expected!!!

I loved how this was mostly about medical marijuana education, not recreational marijuana.

They had a little girl with epilepsy talk about the hilariously outdated medical marijuana laws in Texas. I didn’t they were serious!!! It’s so ridiculous!!!

I definitely learned something new

Very interesting to see another side of marijuana. Yes, kids should know a bit about all drugs- their effect on the body, their dangers, and their uses. As a nurse, I attended a workshop on methamphetamines, which I decided was about the worst thing out there, partly because it is so easy to make and has such horrible side effects. And I have always been a person to want to know why. I think we should let our kids ask why, and answer with all the scientific, statistical, and anecdotal information at our disposal.

good

good episodes excellent narration. this is the best episodes so far. worth for listening it
