Dustin Mathews: From High School Shenanigans to Cannabis Advocacy

The fact that we would have got arrested, I understand if they would have said: we're taking the pot from you and we're telling your parents like that's one thing to be like.
Remember those high school days filled with mischief and adventure? In this episode of 'The Peace On Drugs', host Aaron Akulis reconnects with his old friend Dustin Mathews, now a medical cannabis grower in Tallahassee, Florida. The two take a nostalgic trip down memory lane, sharing stories of their youthful escapades, including smoking pot in the woods and experimenting with LSD in class. But it’s not all just fun and games.
Aaron and Dustin dive into serious discussions about the future of cannabis legalization in Florida and the promising benefits of psychedelics. They reflect on the negative impacts of the war on drugs, particularly on addiction, and how public perception is gradually shifting towards more acceptance. Dustin passionately believes that legalizing cannabis will create a safer society, and he shares his insights on how to navigate the complex landscape of addiction and recovery.
This episode is a blend of humor, heartfelt memories, and thought-provoking conversations that shed light on important issues. Whether you're curious about the evolving drug policies or just love a good story from the past, this episode has something for everyone.
