    The Sul Ross Desk

    In the 1980s, a group of friends on the track team at Sul Ross State University hauled a discarded dorm room desk to the top of a mountain.

    Weed Week: San Francisco Cannabis Buyers’ Club

    The San Francisco Cannabis Buyers’ Club was one of the first marijuana dispensaries in the country. Its members were people with AIDS, cancer, and other serious illnesses, and inside the club had stages, TV lounges, puzzles, and other things that would bring people together. Today, we meet the unexpected mix of gay rights organizers and cannabis advocates behind the club, and we hear about their unorthodox route to opening it – including why they tried to get busted by the police.

Today, we meet a clever group of scientists who found their way around these laws… by literally driving around them.    Learn more about the CannaVan, and check out some of Rasha and Emma’s original reporting.
