Advocates for higher wages, healthcare benefits & collective bargaining efforts in cannabis fight with implications that impact their jobs. Lets discuss.

In 2025, cannabis is legal either medically or recreationally in most of the country — but 9 states still cling to prohibition. In this episode, Nairoby breaks down which states remain illegal, why lawmakers keep blocking reform, and how these bans continue to disproportionately harm Black and Brown communities through arrests and criminal records.

Armani White, CEO of Firehouse Cannabis and Executive Director of Reclaim Roxbury, shares his journey as a social equity entrepreneur and community advocate. He discusses breaking barriers in Massachusetts’ cannabis industry, fighting for fair development in Roxbury, and how grassroots leadership is shaping a more just future.

State Rep. Andy Vargas joins us to break down the latest in Massachusetts cannabis reform, social equity, and how his Dominican roots and Haverhill pride drive his work. Tune in for real talk on policy, culture, and civic power.

Nairoby visits an LGBTQ owned dispensary. We talk about the importance of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for the LGBTQ+ community at the Treehouse Craft Cannabis dispensary. The manager, Ashley discusses how they support their staff and customers, respecting their identities and pronouns, and fostering a sense of community during challenging times.

From Emancipation to Equity

Explore the histories connecting Juneteenth, the 13th Amendment, and the ongoing impact of cannabis criminalization on Black communities. We dive into the data on racial disparities in marijuana arrests, the struggle for true social equity in the industry, and why the fight for freedom and justice is far from over.

Cannabis is legal in more places than ever, but for immigrants—including green card holders, visa holders, DACA recipients, and more—the risks are still very real under the Trump Administration. In this episode, Nairoby breaks down why federal law can still get you banned, denied a green card, or even deported for cannabis use or work—even if it’s totally legal where you live depending your legal status. That includes Elon Musk!

Nairoby shares real stories and cases, talks about what needs to change, and offers up legal resources to help you stay safe (but remember, she’s not yet a lawyer, so please consult with one!). Whether you’re rolling up, working in weed, or just want to know how these laws actually play out, she’s spilling the tea-h-c.
