Cannabis, Politics, and Healing: A Conversation with Viz

In this episode of "Cannabis and Constellations," host Tenley sits down with his first-ever guest, Viz, to explore the fascinating intersection of cannabis use, politics, and healing. Together, they delve into a wide range of topics, from the ways in which cannabis can help us cope with past trauma to the state of American politics today.

The conversation begins with a discussion of how cannabis has been used for years to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. From there, the conversation turns to politics, and Tenley and Viz share their thoughts on Andrew Yang, the Yang Gang, and the Forward Party, as well as the challenges facing Democrats and Republicans as they try to find common ground.

Along the way, the conversation meanders into unexpected territory, including a discussion of Jim Belushi and how Viz got to smoke with him and plan future work. The two also touch on mental health, medical marijuana, and the ways in which some legislation is guided by racism and greed.

Despite the weighty subject matter, the conversation is lightened by the occasional detour, and Tenley and Viz occasionally lose their train of thought as they "medicate" with cannabis. They even touch on Elon Musk and his role in saving Twitter.

Overall, "Cannabis, Politics, and Healing" is a thought-provoking and engaging conversation that offers valuable insights into the ways in which cannabis and politics intersect, and how they can both play a role in our healing and personal growth.
