In this episode, host Don Kleppin shares his personal trek through Dry January, a month-long break from cannabis, alcohol, caffeine, and added sugars. With vivid dreams every night and a 10-pound weight loss in just 17 days, Don reflects on the impact of the challenge so far.
The News Joint Wrap brings listeners up to speed on key developments in the cannabis space, including:
- Four new qualifying conditions added for Illinois medical cannabis patients.
- A continued decline in medical cannabis sales for the third consecutive year.
- Two new hemp-related bills introduced in the Illinois House, reflecting the ongoing battle between those pushing for a ban on hemp products and those advocating for regulation.
Other stories highlight the DEA’s administrative judge delaying a decision on rescheduling cannabis by at least three months and DoorDash’s announcement that it will begin delivering hemp-based products like beverages, gummies, and candies in select markets. Don also calls out prohibitionist group Smart Approaches to Marijuana for their outdated, fear-mongering reaction to DoorDash’s move.
Despite a challenging week of news for cannabis advocates, Don ends the episode on a lighter note with this week’s High Haiku, celebrating Dry January in poetic style.
