Marijuana is a word that can quickly spark debate. Should it be legal? Does it offer real medical benefits? Is it a gateway drug? These questions continue to fuel controversy, and strong opinions exist on all sides.
In this episode of Grieving Out Loud, we sit down with Crissy Groenewegen, director of the Parent Action Network. She works closely with parents and families impacted by marijuana, helping them share their stories in ways that reach and influence lawmakers.
We do not shy away from this complicated topic. How harmful can marijuana really be? What impact has legalization had on Americans’ mental and physical health? And how are businesses using legal loopholes to put profit over public safety?
All of this and more in today’s conversation.
