The just-published episode – From the Emerald Triangle: Marijuana and Health – is the fourth in what I have decided to call Legacy Editions. Each of these episodes features an interview conducted 25 to 45 years ago. I will re-package and publish one or two more of these old interviews and then begin conducting new ones.
From when I launched the first episode on February 20 until a few days ago, only one subscriber to Wise Talkers had unsubscribed. Well, in the first 24 hours since publishing this latest edition, two people have done so. I could be wrong, of course, but I am guessing they objected to, or perhaps were simply uncomfortable with, the subject matter – marijuana. If indeed that was the reason for their dropping out, it’s not surprising I guess.
But I think you’ll find that the discussion we had about cannabis way back in 1996 was reasonable and balanced. And in any case, I see this episode more as a ‘period piece’ from a special place, the famed Emerald Triangle, in its heyday.
I’d love to know what you think, either in the Comments section below and/or in the Comments section in the above-linked post about this episode.
