In this special Halloween episode of The Cole Memo, Cole and Phil spark up a conversation with longtime cannabis and psychedelic policy advocate Dan Linn. Known for his impactful work with Illinois NORML and the Illinois Psychedelic Society, Dan shares insights from his 15+ years fighting for sensible drug policies. They discuss the evolution of cannabis legislation in Illinois, the challenges posed by limited licensing, and how both law enforcement and licensed cannabis cultivators have influenced restrictive frameworks. Dan also dives into the exciting possibilities of the proposed Cure Act, which would decriminalize psychedelic substances and allow for supervised therapeutic use.
Packed with historical context and candid reflections, this episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the past, present, and future of drug policy in Illinois.
