Ahead of a possible Utah medical marijuana ballot initiative in the Fall of 2018—and in light of the LDS Church signaling its opposition to the initiative—Mormon Stories seeks to have an open, facts-based discussion about the medicinal uses of marijuana and the LDS Church's role in the legislative process to prevent its passage in the state of Utah. To begin that conversation, we continue our interview with Andrew Jolley—an entrepreneur in Nevada who started The+Sourcedispensary in 2013 after Nevada passed legislation allowing the use of medicinal marijuana in that state. We cover: *What Andrew learned about the medicinal and societal value of marijuana that lead him to become involved *A historical discussion about the political and cultural motives to making marijuana illegal *The economic impacts seen in the states that have chosen to legalize marijuana use *The medical impacts of the different types of cannabinoids found in marijuana *Efforts made 'behind the scenes' by the LDS Church to oppose the initiative to allow for medicinal marijuana use *What Andrew believes Utahns should do to inform their decision on legalization

We are excited to revisit Dr. Michael Coe at his home in New Haven, Connecticut to learn what he has been up to since our wildly popular first interview with him released in August 2011. Dr. Michael Coe is the Charles J. MacCurdy professor emeritus of Anthropology at Yale University and curator emeritus of the Division of Anthropology at the school’s Peabody Museum of Natural History. He is an expert on the Maya, who inhabited the same part of Mexico and Central American where Mormon scholars say the events of the Book of Mormon took place. Continuing their discussion from 7 years ago, Dr. Coe and John discuss some of the challenges facing Mormon archaeologists attempting to prove the historical truth of their central scripture. |
