I'm trying to give it a new name- it's not the marijuana it used to be. And I try to educate them through my stories and experience that it's not the same thing.
What if the marijuana you knew from decades ago is nothing like what’s available today? In this eye-opening episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Michael Deleon, the producer and director of the documentary film MarijuanaX. Together, they unravel the stark differences between the marijuana of the past and the potent, genetically modified versions we see today.
Deleon dives into how the THC content has skyrocketed from a mere 2-5% to a staggering 97% in some products. This transformation isn’t just about getting a stronger high; it’s about understanding the serious implications for public health and safety. Deleon draws parallels between the tactics used by the marijuana industry and those once employed by Big Tobacco, shedding light on how marketing strategies are shaping public perception.
He stresses the importance of asking critical questions: Why are we still calling it marijuana when it’s clearly not the same substance? Why is there so little awareness about these changes? The conversation takes a deeper turn as Deleon shares his concerns about the impact on vulnerable youth and the broader societal implications. He talks passionately about the need for grassroots organizations to step up and educate the public on these pressing issues.
The episode doesn’t just stop at discussion; it calls listeners to action, urging them to watch MarijuanaX and spread the word about the evolving face of marijuana. If you’re curious about how a simple plant has morphed into something far more complex and potentially dangerous, this episode is a must-listen. It’s an enlightening conversation that challenges preconceived notions and encourages informed dialogue.
