We sit down with Kat Murti, Executive Director of Students for Sensible Drug Policy (SSDP), during the historic DEA hearing in Arlington, Virginia, examining the proposed rescheduling of cannabis from Schedule I to Schedule III. Kat explains why moving cannabis to Schedule III may acknowledge its medical value but still falls far short of meaningful reform. The conversation explores the difference between rescheduling and full federal descheduling, the ongoing consequences of cannabis prohibition, and why thousands of people remain incarcerated for non-violent cannabis offenses while legal dispensaries continue to expand across the country.

We also discuss the mission of SSDP, the unintended harms created by prohibition, the confusing patchwork of cannabis laws across the United States, and the political forces that continue to slow meaningful reform. Kat shares why grassroots organizing, student activism, and direct engagement with elected officials remain some of the most powerful tools for changing drug policy. If you've ever wondered what meaningful cannabis reform really looks like or why the War on Drugs continues to affect so many lives. This conversation offers an honest and thought-provoking look at the road still ahead.

Travis discusses the challenges of rebuilding his life after incarceration, earning one of Minnesota's first social equity cannabis licenses, and using his success to advocate for those still serving lengthy sentences for non-violent cannabis offenses. He takes listeners inside his recent efforts in Washington, D.C., where he met with lawmakers and helped organize events pushing for clemency, pardons, and meaningful criminal justice reform.

The conversation shines a light on individuals such as Edwin Rubis and Parker Coleman, whose stories highlight the lasting human cost of cannabis prohibition. Travis also addresses federal cannabis policy, rescheduling efforts, and the contradictions between state legalization and federal enforcement. More than a story of redemption, this episode is a call to action, examining what true justice looks like in an industry generating billions of dollars while many remain behind bars for the same plant.

In this powerful episode Jimmy shares the emotional journey from federal indictment and life imprisonment to receiving presidential clemency and returning home to rebuild his life.

After serving decades in federal prison under a life sentence tied to a nonviolent cannabis case, Jimmy Romans is finally home thanks to the relentless support of his family, advocacy groups fighting for clemency reform, and the efforts of criminal justice reform advocate Alice Marie Johnson, whose work helped bring Jimmy’s story before President Donald J. Trump.

Now working, paying taxes, supporting his family, and advocating for others still serving harsh sentences for nonviolent cannabis offenses, Jimmy’s story reflects the growing national conversation surrounding criminal justice reform and second chances. As cannabis becomes a legal, multi-billion-dollar industry across much of America, thousands remain incarcerated for offenses tied to the very same plant. Through Jimmy’s story, this episode explores redemption, clemency, and the urgent need to reunite families separated by outdated cannabis laws.

In this episode, Massachusetts State Auditor Diana DiZoglio discusses her mission to bring transparency back to state government by rooting out waste and fraud in programs like SNAP and MassHealth.

Despite a 2024 ballot initiative where 72% of voters supported the audit, legislative leaders continue to block access to basic financial records, prompting DiZoglio to urge citizens to support a new ballot measure aimed at expanding public record access and restoring taxpayer trust.
