Ep. 25 Pure Skunk

Hello friends! It’s Episode 25 of Smoke Til It’s Gone Or Die!
Patty’s stoned ass was shocked that she hadn’t yet covered one of
her favorite psychological phenomena, Munchausen by Proxy. She
covers the heartbreaking tale of Garnett Spears, whose mother Lacey
strategically poisoned to garner attention from health care
professionals and her social media circle. Trying to cover an equal
but opposite topic, Rylee covers the story of William James
Bresnahan Jr., a young boy who killed his parents over an argument
while camping. The real twist comes when we see how his life turned
out after this horrible tragedy. Patty’s Probable Cause this week
comes in the wake of the recent uprise of hate crimes against the
Asian community in the US. The Asian Mental Health Project at
https://asianmentalhealthproject.com/, recognizes that there is a
pervasive cultural stigma that often discourages members of the
Asian American community from receiving the help they need. In many
Asian American communities, and in the greater American population,
there exists a general lack of knowledge about mental health and
mental illnesses. Because many of the symptoms of suffering are
“invisible,” it is often harder for mental illnesses to be
acknowledged. There is a misconception that struggling with mental
health is a choice or a sign of weakness. They are here to dispel
this belief and provide resources that are accessible to all.
Rylee’s Probable Cause is the American Nurses Association, as
National Nurses week just passed. The ANA, at
https://www.nursingworld.org/, believes that dedicated nurses
deserve the best practice environments, and to be supported to live
the healthiest lives. ANA is committed to safeguarding nurse
wellbeing, for improved patient outcomes – and happier nurses. If

listening! Bye! Under Massachusetts’ Chapter 94G and California’s
Proposition 64 Bills it is legal for us two assholes to possess and
consume MaryJane, medically known as cannabis, in our respective
states. We do NOT condone the illegal consumption, possession, or
sale of cannabis in places it’s not supposed to be smoked, man
handled, or acquired from a legal dispensary. But we DO condone
what the awesome humans at Marijuana Policy Project are doing to
support legislation at the state and federal level to decriminalize
cannabis across the country, and advocate for those who have been
incarcerated for cannabis possession. Visit mpp.org for more
details.
