Marijuana Tomorrow: Recent Episodes
MJ Tomorrow
From the voices who brought you Marijuana Today, comes Marijuana Tomorrow: The very best cannabis podcast in the business. Marijuana Tomorrow features news analysis of the latest developments in cannabis politics and business. Everyone knows what happened in marijuana today, but you need to know what’s happening in Marijuana Tomorrow!
This week we look at the historic introduction of the eagerly awaited US Senate bill to federally legalize cannabis. How does this final version of the CAOA differ from the drafts that were previously circulated, and what does it mean for the prospects of gaining bipartisan support to move this bill into law? And then we’ll look at one of the funniest stories of the summer, as Minnesota legislators made national headlines, when some of them claimed they legalized THC edibles, accidentally. But the truth is even more complicated and funnier than it seems.
We’ll be discussing all those stories and more on the BEST cannabis podcast in the business...
As we like to say around here, “Everyone knows what happened in marijuana today, but you need to know what’s happening in Marijuana Tomorrow!”

This week we look at a closed door meeting held earlier this month of cannabis regulators, industry leaders and some advocates, as they attempt to strategize about a wide range of policy considerations from promoting equity in the industry, to interstate commerce, and preventing youth use, all while efforts continue in Congress to get a comprehensive bill that could get 60 votes in the Senate. And then we’ll turn our attention to some more negative economic news from some major cannabis industry players and ask if a cannabis industry recession is ahead of us, or already upon us?

The show is still on a brief hiatus but I didn't want to leave you without any Marijuana Tomorrow content to step to, so here's a dip into our archives for the B-side of the un-aired portions of the interview I did with New York Times bestselling author, Brian "Box" Brown way back in February 2021 -- before we were vaccinated -- mostly about his Andre the Giant book, but also about hero worship, Roman Reigns and Michael Jackson superfans, and a little bonus behind the scenes story about the Alex Berenson inspired pushback he received from the paper of record about a comic they commissioned him to create.
Enjoy the show and we'll be back with our regularly scheduled news analysis in no time...

And finally, a question of cannabis ethics came up this weekend while I was with my friends and I want to get everyone’s opinion on it.

And then we look at one of those 4 states -- Delaware -- where activists have called for a boycott of four of the state’s medical cannabis providers for testifying against the adult use bill in the legislature. And finally, we look at the case of an American locked up abroad in Dubai for cannabis metabolites that appeared in his urine.

NYTimes Bestselling author Brian "Box" Browns joins us this week for a new "Meet the Marijuana Press" segment to talk about his latest book and his new comic strip, Legalization Nation. In our opening segment, we talk about the what's next for New Jersey now that the legalization bills are signed, why Gov. Cuomo is weak and why some national advocacy organizations support for his amended proposals are even weaker, and did you know that North Dakota is the cooler of the Dakotas? And that means two things! And then we look at the letter the Cannabis Regulatory Association sent to Congress outlining their national agenda and we compare it the priorities Project SAM laid out last month.

And then we turn our attention to Washington, DC, as the cannabis industry gets some new advocates on the block as President Obama’s former HHS Secretary and former Governor of Kansas, Kathleen Sebelius, joins the National Cannabis Roundtable as an honorary co-chair. Meanwhile, the Marijuana Policy Project’s Executive Director Steve Hawkins announces his new org, the United States Cannabis Council. We look at who's in and who's out of this new industry group.

The MORE Act passed in the US House of Representatives and we reflect on Friday’s historic, albeit largely symbolic, vote.

Why the DEA has issued a subpoena to the California Bureau of Cannabis Control for information pertaining to business licenses and shipping manifests? And what's up with the new bill that was just passed unanimously in the California Assembly that would aggressively punish those working with unlicensed cannabis businesses in the Golden State, with fines of up to $30,000 per day, all while the racial disparities in arrests continue and in fact, have gotten worse since legalization began in earnest? And finally, we have a special guest this week for our Ask a Canna Scientist segment, as our old friend Dr. Jahan Marcu joins us to talk about testing standards and his new work with the organization Athletes for Care.
We’ll be discussing all this and more on the best marijuana podcast in the business.
As we like to say around here, “Everyone knows what happened in marijuana today, but you need to know what’s happening in Marijuana Tomorrow!”
