Senate candidate Gary Chambers lights up and smokes a fat blunt in his new campaign ad. Naturally, Abdullah and Bean get lit in solidarity and offer their official endorsement to Louisiana's next senator. While also engaging in a serious discussion of the ad's central message—that cannabis legalization is a vital issue of social and racial justice, not just a way to bring in tax money. In this premiere episode of "Moments in Weed"—a new companion series to Great Moments in Weed History—the unambiguously stoned duo also dig into a fascinating new study showing that certain compounds found in cannabis could help prevent transmission of COVID. But those rare acidic cannabinoids (CBG-A and CBD-A) can't be consumed by smoking a joint or eating an edible.
