284. Beyond the Stereotypes: How Women Are Changing the Meaning of 420
Manage episode 477167730 series 2573669
420 isn’t just a party, it’s a chance to reflect, connect, and celebrate cannabis legalization and its evolution in our culture. In this episode, Ellen Scanlon talks with women who share what 420 means to them today. Whether it’s honoring the plant, remembering the people who paved the way, or creating new traditions with friends (and sometimes pets!) these stories show the many sides of cannabis and the common ground it creates. You’ll hear about joyful rituals, lessons learned from the early days of legalization, and why 420 is also a time to acknowledge the work still needed around justice and safe access. Curious, cautious, or somewhere in between? You’re welcome here.
Thanks to our guests: Tekisha Harvey, Kate Ols, Shelly Persad, Caitlin Krebs, Kristi Palmer, Phoebe Dupree, Janet Matula, Akwasi Owusu-Bempah
