    The Ethics of Weight

    In this episode, Stephanie and Jason explore the ethical landscape surrounding body weight and how it is often connected to morality and judgment in North American culture. We discuss the complex factors contributing to changes in body weight, such as increased carbohydrate consumption and the impact of modern economic and food systems and argue against simplistic explanations that either blame genetics or individual choices and highlight the need to acknowledge the broader societal influences on body weight. Responding to listener feedback that we didn't sound high enough in the previous episode, this episode we definitely get good and high.

    The Ethics of Marijuana

    In this episode, Jason and Stephanie get high and explore the ethical landscape surrounding marijuana use.  Some of the ethical questions dicussed include the differential treatment of drugs, where alcohol is widely accepted despite known social and health risks, while marijuana has faced stringent legal controls, even though it appears to pose fewer harms to individuals and society. Also, the distinction between therapy and enhancement is explored. Medical use of marijuana is generally more socially accepted, as it is seen as a remedy for health issues, such as pain or nausea. However, recreational use is often stigmatized, as it primarily serves the purpose of providing pleasure and relaxation. What does that say about our culture's relationship to pleasure?  We also review concerns about buying drugs illegally and what that does to the moral status of the activity.
