Is It ’Just Weed’? Jane West Talks Addiction, Research, and Risks

Truth be told, the lifestyle industry doesn’t give as much lip service to some of the issues it enables—be it the alcohol industry and alcoholism, the fashion industry and shopping addictions, or cannabis culture and the rising mental health issues that the plant potentially harms as much as it helps.

Still, these heavier topics need to be addressed, as the spread of legalization continues to proliferate and expose new generations to plant-based medicine as a recreational product during a time when the country faces a larger national addiction and mental health crisis.

On the pod today: noted cannabis industry O.G. and founder of the eponymous global lifestyle brand, Jane West. Fresh off her guest appearance on the “Is it just weed?” episode of Dr. Phil Primetime addressing marijuana addiction, West shares her perspective as a longtime advocate following the twists and turns of the industry on the challenges, opportunities, and silver linings for creating a socially responsible future cannabis landscape.
