If you Google the question "Is marijuana racist?" there’s no shortage of articles available to try and answer the question definitively. But the racial baggage behind the word is much more complicated than a simple yes or no answer. Cannabis journalist Abdullah Saeed and cannabis historian Isaac Campos join us to unpack it all, and to figure out how this history fits into today's discussions about equity. This story is Part 8 of 8 in a series called Fair Shake, about what drug laws and the cannabis business can teach us about social equity in the U.S. Written by Ann Marie Awad Reported by Ann Marie Awad, Jo Erickson Lead producer: Matthew Simonson, Jo Erickson Editor: Curtis Fox Music: Daniel Mescher, Brad Turner Executive producers: Brad Turner, Kevin Dale Additional production: Rebekah Romberg, Luis Antonio Perez Illustrator: Jonell Joshua Thanks also to Kim Nguyen, Jodi Gersh, Clara Shelton, Matt Herz, Martin Skavish, Rachel Estabrook, Francie Swidler.

Harm, Healing and Hope
Ann first met Logan Kinamore in 2014, when she was a young journalist covering her first story about drug policy. Kinamore is a harm reduction activist based in Louisiana, who has his own history of substance abuse. That's actually how he learned about the harm reduction movement -- which advocates for more compassion and less criminalization of drug users. Now, that movement has taken hold in Oregon, where voters considered a landmark harm reduction policy in the 2020 election. In a special solutions-focused episode of On Something, we dive deep into the philosophy of harm reduction and what the Oregon measure could mean for the future. This story is Part 7 of 8 in a series called Fair Shake, about what drug laws and the cannabis business can teach us about social equity in the U.S. Written and reported by Ann Marie Awad Lead producer: Luis Antonio Perez Editors: Dennis Funk, Jo Erickson Music: Daniel Mescher, Brad Turner Executive producers: Brad Turner, Kevin Dale Additional production: Rebekah Romberg Illustrator: Jonell Joshua Thanks also to Kim Nguyen, Jodi Gersh, Clara Shelton, Matt Herz, Martin Skavish, Rachel Estabrook, Francie Swidler.

Psychedelics & Safe Spaces
Psychedelics are more than just cutting edge -- they're trendy. Whether it's tech workers micro dosing LSD in Silicon Valley, or Gwyneth Paltrow discussing ayahuasca on her Netflix show, there is a cultural fixation on psychedelics beyond the breakthroughs being made in the lab. But Charlotte James and Dre Wright are working to remind people that these are not just medicines, but sacred medicines, used for centuries by Indigenous people -- who are now in danger of being written out of the next chapter of psychedelic history. This story is Part 6 of 8 in a series called Fair Shake, about what drug laws and the cannabis business can teach us about social equity in the U.S. Written and reported by Ann Marie Awad Lead producer: Rebekah Romberg Editors: Dennis Funk, Jo Erickson Music: Daniel Mescher, Brad Turner Executive producers: Brad Turner, Kevin Dale Additional production: Luis Antonio Perez Illustrator: Jonell Joshua Thanks also to Kim Nguyen, Jodi Gersh, Clara Shelton, Matt Herz, Martin Skavish, Rachel Estabrook, Francie Swidler.
