    Marijuana research may reach new heights as Trump Administration reclassifies medical cannabis

    The Trump Administration is changing federal cannabis policy. On Thursday acting Attorney General Todd Blanche signed an order reclassifying medical marijuana from a Schedule I to a Schedule III drug.  That puts the drug in the same category as substances like ketamine and anabolic steroids. Now, this doesn’t mean cannabis is legal nationwide, and people with convictions related to marijuana won’t see their charges dropped. But officials say it’ll allow for more research into cannabis for medical use. For distributors in the 40 states that have medical marijuana systems already in place, it could mean tax benefits and less hoops to jump through when selling cannabis. This reclassification does not impact recreational marijuana. But advocates say it could be a sign of bigger changes to come.

    Is it worth it to host the World Cup? It depends.

    In less than two months, Seattle will begin hosting matches for the 2026 World Cup.  And, like in the 10 other U.S. host cities, there is a lot of excitement here about this mega international sporting event coming to town. ... But there's likely some trepidation, too, as people think ahead to the congested streets, possible transit hangups and big crowds.  Seattleites could be tempted to ask, how did we get roped into this and will it be worth it? We called up a sports economist for answers.  Guest: Victor Matheson, a professor at College of the Holy Cross in Massachusetts Related links: "The Economics of the World Cup" by Victor Matheson The World Cup is around the corner.

    The PNW-India relationship, from Cosmic Crisp apples to tech

    If you’ve walked through Westlake Park recently, perhaps you’ve noticed the new statue of Swami Vivekananda, a philosopher and Hindu monk. Vivekananda is credited with introducing yoga and the Vedanta philosophy to a global audience. That statue is a gift to the city from the government of India. People from India represent more than 10 percent of Washington’s foreign-born residents. As of 2024, nearly 95,000 King County residents were born there.  The statue is part of a broader cultural diplomacy initiative, according to the consulate general in Seattle. The diplomatic outpost opened two years ago, and India's consul general in Seattle joined Soundside to talk about the relationship between the Pacific Northwest and India.  Guest Consul General Prakash GuptaRelated Links America's First Guru - PBS Trump’s Changes Lock Some Employers Out of H-1B Visa Program & As H-1B Visa Program Changes, Skilled Foreign Workers Consider Leaving U.S.  - The New York Times   Thank you to the supporters of KUOW, you help make this show possible!

    American healthcare workers consider careers north of the border

    Canada needs healthcare workers, but there just aren't enough of them in the country. So they've amped up their efforts to recruit medical professionals from other countries, especially the United States. And Canada is seeing quite a bit of success. Last year, the British Columbia College of Physicians and Surgeons reported licensing three times the number of American physicians than they had the year before. One person trying to recruit Americans to work in Canada is Tod Maffin. Tod is a former national CBC radio host and producer. He now runs a newsletter and podcast called Mirror Falls. And he's one of the organizers of the Nanaimo Healthcare Infusion this weekend.  Guest: Tod Maffin, former national CBC radio host and producer.

    One Medical, a new lawsuit and Amazon's ambitions for health care

    A California doctor is suing primary care provider One Medical, claiming she was fired in part for retaliation for raising concerns about patient care.  Amazon owns One Medical, it bought the company in 2023. The service offers telemedicine and in-person locations and Amazon Prime members are able to access a One Medical membership at a discount.  The company’s goal is to use technology to make primary care as convenient as home delivery. Our guest writes that this recent lawsuit, however, “pulls back the curtain on Amazon’s entrée into healthcare.”Guest Caroline O'Donovan, AI and Big Technology senior Reporter, The San Francisco Standard Related LinksAmazon’s One Medical fired a doctor who raised safety concerns, lawsuit says - The San Francisco StandardLeaked documents reveal patient safety issues at Amazon’s One Medical - The Washington Post Full statement from a OneMedical spokespersonOne Medical is committed to excellent patient care and a supportive workplace. We welcome feedback from our team members every day—it's essential to how we improve. Using general observations from individuals unfamiliar with this matter to attempt to validate lawsuit allegations is misleading. Our investigation into the concerns found no safety issues and patients received quality care, and this is in fact a serious workplace conduct matter, despite attempts to frame it otherwise. We dispute the allegations in this complaint, and this employee was not terminated in response to raising safety concerns. One Medical is committed to maintaining the highest standards of patient care, and we fully investigate and take appropriate action to resolve concerns and do not retaliate against employees who raise them. While we cannot comment on the specifics of this personnel matter, we work hard to maintain a respectful workplace for all team members and are confident in the thoroughness of our investigation and outcome.
