The Work Stoppage crew starts a new series examining the conditions for workers and consumers in the exploding cannabis industry. First congratulating the workers at Ascend Cannabis in Aberdeen for joining the Teamsters, we launch an investigation into the conditions faced by cannabis workers across Maryland. We cover the conditions that lure young people into the industry, the structural racism of state licensing programs, an ultimately unsuccessful but highly instructive union drive at cannabis mega-corporation Star Buds, the shape of union busting in the cannabis industry, the supposed utility of labor peace agreements in burgeoning industries, and the current state of employment protections for lawful cannabis users in Maryland. John also becomes somewhat fixated on crabs.

Utah's regulation on medical is absurd. When we passed the ballot initiative for medical, the legislators essentially said "no." (we passed medicaid Medicare expansion that year too). A bunch of people sued the government and we harassed then Governor Herbert and Lieutenant governor "Caillou" (Cox) (I invited Gary Herbert to accompany me to a Colonoscopy since he Was acting like he knew more, than licensed medical professionals) and we won ridiculously restrictive medical cannabis but they still won't expand Medicaid or Medicare per the ACA. if it weren't such a beautiful place with lots of cool stuff to do, it'd really stuck here.
