The Future of Weed
As Broccoli Talk wraps, Mennlay and Lauren ask a big question: Where does weed go from here? In this episode, they imagine the future of cannabis—whether federal legalization is on the horizon, how the plant could improve reproductive care, and if psychedelics will be the next green wave. Then they celebrate the end of the podcast by sharing their wildest weedy fantasies for the world to come.
