criminal justice system. How we treat the humans who use them should be in a caring and compassionate way, not a punishing way. Legalizing marijuana is the rst step, not the end of the journey. It's the beginning of the battle," she stated. Zachary Leary is the producer, writer, and host of It's All Happening with Zach Leary and THE MAPS Podcast. He is considered to be one of the most thought-provoking commentators in the cultural philosophy genre of podcasting. He is also a creator of lms and CDs. I always enjoy discussing matters of western culture and socio-sacred theories with Zach. As an enthusiastic supporter on the campaign trail for Prop 64, I asked for his perspective now that the law allows for the responsible recreational adult use of cannabis. " is is a time of opportunity in our soul and cultural experience," Leary started. "As the Prop 64 laws are slowly being implemented, I'm hoping for the culture of fear around this plant to lessen. I'm supportive of legitimate research into the healing properties of cannabis." "I'm all for setting up a government-endorsed structure that allows pot to be harvested, distributed, sold, and consumed in a way that is closer to alcohol, than anarchy," he continued. "To make legalization work for the society regulating for safety, purity, and the legitimacy of all sales chan- nels is imperative." Decriminalization and judicial reform is crucial. Putting people in prison for using a plant that has been sacredly used for thousands of years all over the world makes no moral or sociological sense to me. Leary agreed. " e time is now to stop the "Reefer Madness," to free thousands of inmates (for non-violent drug o enses), to put money back into the troubled communities from sales, to stop racial pro ling of black and brown people because they may or may not have grass on them, and to nally allow 21-year-old adults to think for themselves by making their own decision on whether or not they can walk into a store and buy a joint," he said. "We've been subjected to the fear propaganda. e new law is not perfect. It's a great place to start. e drug prohibition had to end in one form or another. Let's remember that!" Zach Leary's father, Timothy Leary, was at the forefront of research and advocated for the exploration of therapeutic drug use under controlled conditions. Zach produced a lm with Gay Dillingham called Dying to Know which shows the history of that time. It includes a scene in Con- gress with Timothy Leary advocating for legalization with Ted Kennedy. In his book, e Politics of Ecstasy, Timothy Leary discusses the ex- ploration of human consciousness, neurological theory, and " e Fi h Freedom" – the right to get high, among other explorations. It's as relevant now as it was when it was written. Let's consider that up until the 20th century, people were free to use all mystical substances without fear of being imprisoned. Leary agreed. "Of course, the cannabis plant grew in the wild for more years than we've been here. Humans used it in sacramental ways with no problem. Sharing the rich history would give comfort and lessen the culture of fear surrounding this plant. I'm grateful to lend my voice to ending the destructive and injurious "war on drugs." e time has come to move to a world view where our society functions in a more humane way," he said. Friends, we are making history and moving through unchartered ter- ritory. e roll out is an ever-changing and moving train. If we get this right here, we have a much better chance of advancing the probability of federal legalization. Prop 64 is intended to have less people in prison – not more – so let's always err on the side of caution. I don't personally condone or condemn the use of cannabis but incarcerating people for using a plant is unconscionable to me. Let's put it back in the medical and ritual arenas where it lived for thousands of years. Sunny Chayes is the host of e Sunny Chayes Show airing on UBN Radio Channel 1 online on Weds at 2 pm Paci c.
