In Bed with Susie Bright 370

The Real Story of Marijuana Moral Panic

By: Susie Bright

Narrated by: Susie Bright

Love, sex and rock-and-roll! Well, today's show will cover two of those three topics. Here at In Bed, we always talk about sex, but today Susie also covers drugs - and it's one of the non-prescription types. It's marijuana, but with a twist; it's medical marijuana, a supposedly legal drug. We'll talk with author Wendy Chapkis about her new book Dying to Get High. Susie and Wendy start the discussion by looking at the similarities in how society demonizes both sex and pot. We all need to watch out for reefer madness and demon porn. And how can something that is illegal really be used for medicinal purposes? Many myths will be revealed and questions answered about the benefits that many terminally ill patients receive from this highly controversial plant.

Then, in the "Try This at Home" mailbag, Susie gets a letter from a husband who is worried because his wife wants to give up her vibrator! You can send your confidential questions - plus requests for free samples and blog banners! - to [e-mail]. (Episode 370, December 19, 2008)
