Today I'm lucky to be joined by Frederick Pels, President and CEO of The Green Room, a chain of marijuana dispensaries across Canada. Fred has done more to push forward the legalization of marijuana than almost any other private citizen, advising the federal government and essentially writing Canadian cannabis legislation. Fred talks about the persisting stigma of the drug, despite the regular use he has witnessed firsthand by many prominent individuals in the community such as doctors, lawyers, and officers. Fred hopes that education and awareness can improve ahead of legalization so that the common misconceptions can be eliminated.
