Summary

Alise, Kaitlin, and Amanda reunite to celebrate the legalization of adult-use cannabis in New York (not like that..) and outline three ways the state can work to repair the damage that criminalization has caused to minority communities. Then, they have a candid conversation about anxieties around returning to “normal” life as the pandemic’s next phase launches a large portion of Americans back into the real world. What practices has society developed that we should hold onto, and what was toxic? How will workplaces handle the transition? And how are we ever going to breathe on each other again?!
