Smoke Til It's Gone Or Die Patty McInerney & Rylee Kirkpatrick

Welcome back to... no, that can't be right... Episode 30?! of Smoke Til' It's Gone or Die! Somehow we've made it this far, and we're so thrilled you are along for the ride. In this episode, Patty tells the tale of the Connecticut River Valley Killer who has never been caught, despite all the evidence compiled over multiple years from multiple victims; this one is wild, with an 'I Survived' tale as well as some described violence that may not be suitable for the softer-hearted. Rylee dives deeper into CBD, how we interact with it, and the potential effects it can have on our little stoner bodies! 

Rylee's Probable Cause this week is a GoFundMe page for an incredible human we adore, Jess! Please take a look-see at this link right here and if you have some dollars, donate! Jess has been a wonderful, sweet listener and friend and deserves our love and support as she battles Judith, a b-cell lymphoma. 



Patty's Probable Cause is Season of Justice; Season of Justice (SOJ) is a nonprofit dedicated to providing funding to law enforcement agencies and families to help solve cold cases. SOJ provides grants to law enforcement for advanced DNA analysis solutions, such as forensic genealogy and next-generation sequencing. The organization also awards grants to families to support awareness campaigns, search teams and other initiatives that can assist in pushing their cold cases forward. SOJ’s goal is to provide financial resources for both law enforcement and families in order to bring closure to those impacted by unsolved violent crimes. https://seasonofjustice.org/

Under Massachusetts’ Chapter 94G and California’s Proposition 64 Bills it is legal for us two a******s 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.

It’s the long awaited return of Smoke Til It’s Gone Or Die! After the comedy of errors of the past 6 months, we’ve finally gathered our shit and are ready to get back into it. We’ve restructured a bit, but the stoned nonsense hasn’t changed. Rylee educates us with the history and background of the Cannabis plant and how we’ve come to know how it really affects us. They dive into the endocannabinoid system and all the little synapses it takes to make YOU stoned. Patty went on the deepest dive into a murder that shook the tiny state of Rhode Island. The terrifying tale of Christopher Hightower and the murder of the Brendel family easily could have been ten hours long, but Patty restrains herself. And thus, the first part of a two-part case comes to you now. Roll up a doob (or two) and let’s get into it!

This week Rylee asks you to read about and make a donation to Marijuana Policy Project.

As always, it’s our duty as a stoners to educate ourselves and donate money to these amazing folks. MPP is the largest organization in the U.S. that’s focused solely on enacting humane marijuana laws. MPP’s mission is to change federal law to allow states to determine their own marijuana policies without federal interference, to allow the medical use of cannabis in all 50 states and U.S. territories, and to regulate marijuana like alcohol. Go to mpp.org to check it out!

Patty’s Probable Cause this week is Child & Family of Rhode Island.

At Child & Family they hold two core beliefs; that individuals and communities thrive when supported by strong families, and that a community works best when it is willing to accept responsibilities for all of its members.

This week on Smoke Til It's Gone or Die, we're back! It's been quite the hiatus but your favorite stoned hosts are back and not necessarily better than ever, but we're definitely back.  Patty tells the creepy tale of twin sisters Ursula and Sabina Eriksson who experienced a strange but short winded episode of folie a duex.

Oh, how we have missed you! After a hiatus (because of you know, life), Smoke Til It’s Gone Or It’s Gone Or Die is back with Episode 27! This week, Rylee tells us what America’s Favorite trash pizza, Dominos, and the omnipresent Noid could possibly have to do with true crime. And how Food and Wine Magazine managed to be one of their sources. Feeling in her best friend feels, Patty shares the heartbreaking (but redeeming and oh-so satisfying) story of the murder of Angela Samota and her best friend, Shiela Wysocki, who solved the case.

In reference to Rylee’s case, please visit and donate to  https://mhanational.org/.

Mental Health America's work is driven by its commitment to promote mental health as a critical part of overall wellness, including prevention services for all; early identification and intervention for those at risk; integrated care, services, and support for those who need them; with recovery as the goal.

Patty’s Probable Cause this week is Project: Cold Case. Please visit and donate at https://projectcoldcase.org/

Project: Cold Case was born out of a desire to provide hope to families of unsolved homicide victims. They are a not-for-profit organization with an ambitious goal of publicizing all unsolved homicides in the United States while linking information, families, and law enforcement, and ultimately, helping to solve cold cases.

In a very special STGD Probable Cause, we would like to feature the story of Daniel Threadgill. In 2012, Daniel was wrongfully convicted of a murder he did not commit. He was sentenced with no priors to double the standard range. Daniel has so far served 10 years of his 40 year sentence. Please read the story, featured below, and follow the links to sign the petition to help Daniel. https://actualinnocentprisoners.com/daniel-threadgill)

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.
