The Canadian Potcast is produced for Pattison Media. In this episode: In the USA cannabis is classified as medically useless, and as dangerous as heroin since 1971, on the federal level at least. Cannabis was first banned in the U.S. in 1937. In this episode of Potcast, we tell the story of Harry J Anslinger, the man whose political ambition and racism led to that ban. Also, while cannabis remains illegal at the federal level, businesses that operate in legal states have to jump through all kinds of hoops to do their banking. We talk to a cannabis banker about how to navigate that bureaucratic mess.
