The House of Representatives has approved a White House request to claw back two years of previously approved funding for public media.

The recisions package now moves on to the Senate. This move poses a serious threat to local stations and public media as we know it.

Please take a stand for public media today at goacpr.org.

Thank you.

Hey, Shortwavers, Regina Barber here.

And I love long walks.

And sometimes on my walks around the city, I get some distinct smells. One of them is

cannabis. I hear you, Gina. It's that skunky, gassy smell that whops out from doorways and windows

and people stoopes. It is that unmistakable smell of weed. Ping Wong, NPR health reporter,

friend of the show. I understand you went on a journey lately to learn about why cannabis smells the way it smells. Yep, it's true. It went to the depths of Western Maryland,

and today I'm going to take you along with me. We're going to a hydroponic cannabis grow farm

That's what he said. It's a lot of pot. That's what he said.

It's a lot of weed.

So who's he?

So that's Andrash Kirshner.

He's the founder and head grower at District Cannabis.

They sell in Washington, D.C. and in Maryland.

And he's going to be our tour guide today.

He's going to take us around the facilities.
