Ep. 533: Brian Vicente

Brian Vicente, founding partner of Vicente Sederberg LLP and cannabis activist, walks us through the upcoming 2020 elections regarding cannabis legalization.

Guns

Carlos Curbelo, never one to shy away from the tough issues, discusses how cannabis reform and gun reform aren’t so different in the eyes of the Constitution, saying, “Common sense seems to bind a lot of these issues. It isn’t the most common of the senses in Congress, but we should still try to pursue it.”

2017-2019

Ethan Nadlemann stepped down from the DPA in 2017. He reflects on the years between 2017 and 2019 as cannabis continues its path forward legislativally, societally, and scientifically.

2020s

In this edition of Sensible, Betty sums up the previous decade, paints a bright picture of 2020, is brutally realistic about the past and hopeful about the future of the cannabis economy: “What if we get to be the industry that people look to in a hundred years that actually made a real difference here? That would just be an amazing thing to have been a part of, in some small way.”

Brazil

Boris Blatnik takes us south on this edition of Omnibus. While Colombia and Mexico get some airtime, The large population of Brazil paired with its strict cannabis policy is the focus of this conversation.

2015 & 2016

Ethan Nadelmann discusses the pivotal marijuana reform that took place in 2015 and 2016 and how it all came to pass. “I never would have believed California would have worked out so well. There was intense, internecine conflict.”

Equity: Part 1

Neill discusses America’s progress—or lack thereof—in the realm of police equity and legal adult use cannabis in the 21st century. “As we look at those numbers of police encounters, stops, and arrests and so on, in Colorado, although the overall gross number of stops for every arrest for every demographic has declined dramatically by thousands in the state of Colorado, the disparity issue remains.”
