🎙️ New Episode of The Dime We Don’t Want Legalization—We Want Decriminalization ft. Luna Stower

Cannabis started as a movement, not just a business. But as legalization expanded, the industry found itself caught between profit and purpose, struggling under massive overregulation and taxation. So how do we get back on track?

For over 11 years, Luna Stower has been on the front lines—fighting for safe access, patient rights, and the end of prohibition. While many have lost steam, her relentless passion and advocacy have never wavered. She has worked to bridge the gap between activism and industry, ensuring that cannabis remains accessible, ethical, and true to its roots.

This week, we sit down with Luna Stower to discuss:

• The real challenges of legalization and what’s holding progress back
• Why patient access must come first
• How small actions can create big change in the industry
