140: The Stigma of Cannabis Culture with Vic Styles

In this episode, I sit down with CEO of Black Girls Smoke & Good Day Flor and content creator, Vic Styles. Vic and I dive into all things weed including both the stigmas and history of racism surrounding it and how I can use my white privilege to normalize its use. We compare the social pressures of alcohol to weed, dive into cannabis culture and emphasize the importance of educating communities on it. Vic and I also discuss dealing with people who are opposed to our choices.
