In the 1990s, it felt like the whole world had Rachel Marron fever. Whitney’s voice was everyone. During this episode, which happens to fall on an important cannabis holiday, Brandon and Angela are joined by Amanda Terpstra, owner of BestBuds, a dispensary located in Woodbury, NJ, to explore an entry from July 14, 1993. The movie “The Bodyguard” has taken the world by storm and Mari had a lot to say about how this movie has influenced how people see her and the fam. Amanda, Brandon, and Angela cover Frankenstein arms at middle school dances, navigating the realities of stigma as a parent, and the origin of the word stoned. Mari’s entry helps them consider just how much subtle messaging about cannabis shapes what people associate with the plant and the people who consume it. Mari reinforced the lesson: how we talk about cannabis, the actual words, very much matters.
