Watch Weathered, for PBS Earth Month: https://youtu.be/kHGt9l6U5fM

Alaska was the third U.S. state to legalize recreational marijuana use, but it recently became the first state to introduce an on-site consumption cafe. Good Titrations dispensary and cafe, in Fairbanks, Alaska currently offers the only legal location where consumers can purchase marijuana to eat, drink, or smoke.

This comes at a time when Alaska is also introducing some of the very first industrial hemp farms in the state. Together, cannabis and hemp may be a solution for human and planetary health as society grapples with widespread climate change and mental health challenges in people.
