🚨 200,000+ people arrested for weed possession last year, a deadly cannabis explosion in Oklahoma, and the FDA is quietly eyeing psychedelics. Aaron and Dave break it all down on Episode 156 of The Elevated News Podcast.
This week the Two Dope Dudes cover the Sand Springs BHO explosion that left 2 dead, Illinois adding new qualifying conditions to its medical cannabis program, British tennis pros complaining about weed smell at the US Open, fresh FBI arrest data that proves cannabis is NOT actually legal in America, and a new federal report on FDA psychedelic approval. Plus Billy Strings and Terrapin Flyer festival recaps, a Botanist strain review, and Dave's Conditional Cannabis Corner rant on plant medicine and mental health. 🌿
👀 Watch till the end for Dave's most passionate rant yet on psychedelics, mental health and why healthcare is an industry, not a cure.
