POT TV – Ryan Jespersen spoke with Jodie Giesz-Ramsay about the reality of Canadian cannabis legalization.
On 4/20, 2023, the real talk on pot was with the culture. Longtime civil liberties activist, Jodie Giesz-Ramsay, stepped beyond the legal corporate cannabis hype and offered in-depth perspective about the bitter-sweet flavor of federal legalization.
“The regulatory burdens and hurdles are prohibitive, like prohibition. If you don’t have the money, and you don’t have the connections, and you don’t have the facility, you’re kind of out of luck. Whereas years and years ago, you were just a small business owner with a bit of compassion and heart, and a concern for others; you got brought into this industry and you were able to do well.” Jodie said.
“Medical cannabis is not accessible. people still being arrested, charged and going to court, just for not being licensed … it’s a double-standard.”
