Summary

On this episode, the guests are filmmakers Ricki Lake and Abby Epstein who, through their new movie "Weed the People" hope to help people make an informed choice. "Expanding people’s knowledge of something; having them be able to make a judgment and decision that’s best for them and their bodies.”

Ricki is someone you will likely know. She is a beloved pop-culture actress, had her own talk show for a dozen years, and now is a documentary filmmaker.

Abby is an award-winning director and producer of documentary films. The two have teamed up creatively for more than a decade to make films that inform, educate and portray incredible humanity.

I talk with them both about cannabis—and specifically about the use of it to help treat children’s cancer, which is the topic of their current documentary, “Weed the People.”
