In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of my stepmother’s final days and my father’s difficult choice to ease her pain with medical marijuana — a decision that went against everything he believed in.

We explore the tension between love and law, judgment and compassion, and how dogma can strip us of our humanity.

⚠️ Note: You may hear some background noise from my air conditioner during part of this episode — and yes, I was a bit fired up while recording. This conversation touched a deep nerve.
