Celebrating 4/20
List of podcasts curated by: Ellen Scanlon, host of How To Do The Pot
Since the term was first coined in the 1970s, 4/20 has become a global celebration of cannabis. And there is a lot to celebrate! Cannabis is legal for adult use in 18 states and for medical use in 38 states. To me, the most fascinating thing about cannabis is its growing impact on nearly every part of our culture, especially for women. This list gives you a taste of the many ways you might find yourself interacting with modern, legal cannabis today!
