Are you ready for the reefer revolution? Well, regardless of whether you are or not, weed is here, and it's not going away anytime soon. Its use is quickly becoming legalized all over the country, and its acceptance as a legitimate medicine shows no signs of slowing down. Humans have been using marijuana for as far back as history takes us in countless cultures the world over. Despite this plant's incredibly diverse range of applications, it has been widely demonized by Western culture for the better part of the past century. Thanks to advances in science, and the growing popularity of alternative, natural medicine, this formally mysterious plant is finally getting the respect it deserves- beyond its prior reputation as a gateway party drug for stoners. In this episode, we learn all about the current cannabis culture by one of the nation's leading producers of medical-grade edibles and extracts - Brian Chaplin, founder of Medicine Box. Brian's 'Soil to Oil' philosophy is taking the industry by storm, by creating new standards for the cultivation and production of marijuana medicine. Whether you partake in using this plant for fun or the treatment of disease or illness, this interview is packed with useful, up to date information on the subject. If you know someone with mild or severe medical issues, who is looking for alternative solutions, please send this show their way.
