The Listen and Learn Tour - Closing the Cannabis Trust Gap

<p>In this episode of Joint Session, host Herb Barbot is joined by Lyla Hunt, Director of Public Health and Education at the New York State Office of Cannabis Management, to discuss the findings from OCM’s groundbreaking Listen and Learn initiative. Drawing on conversations with more than 450 New Yorkers—including over 300 young people—Lyla shares what the agency learned about cannabis awareness, misinformation, mental health, and the growing need for trusted, evidence-based education. The discussion explores the gap between cannabis normalization and public understanding, why parents remain the most trusted source of information for young people despite often feeling unprepared for those conversations, and how OCM is using community feedback to shape future education efforts. Lyla also offers an inside look at the role of public health in cannabis regulation and explains how New York is working to create more informed, open, and productive conversations about cannabis across generations.</p><p>Joint Session: Diverse Voices in NYS Cannabis is produced by Herb Barbot, with executive production and marketing by Simlev Media.</p><p>Please contact us at herb.jointsession@gmail.com if you have any questions or comments, including topics to cover.</p><p>Follow the show on Instagram at jointsession.pod, on BlueSky at @jointsessionpod.bsky.social and on LinkedIn at Joint Session Podcast. </p><p>If you enjoy the show, leave us a rating and review on your favorite podcast platform.
