Listen "Home Baked"
Episode Synopsis
Alia Volz' mother sold marijuana baked goods in a time when that was illegal. At first, it was a rebellious way to make a living. But then the AIDS epidemic made it so much more; a struggle for the right of patients to use every tool available to feel better. Growing up in the midst of the political battle over marijuana, Alia also learned the history of why it was illegal when alcohol was not, a history of racism and criminalization. How did her unusual childhood affect her perspective on her family, her city and the world? Join us to talk about how her mom's work wove itself into her life.
