294. Why Women Still Don’t Know They’re at Risk for HIV, part 3
Manage episode 490486839 series 2573669
In the final episode of our Webby-nominated series Before Legal Weed: The Untold Story of AIDS & Cannabis, host Ellen Scanlon explores why so many women—especially Black women—are still left out of conversations about HIV risk, testing, and care.
You’ll hear from public health expert Natalie Wilson and pioneering AIDS doctor Donald Abrams about:
How HIV became a manageable condition—and why many women are still being overlooked
The role cannabis plays in easing pain, anxiety, and other symptoms tied to HIV treatment
Why cannabis reclassification could finally open the door to better medical care
This episode closes out a powerful three-part series honoring the LGBTQ+ community’s legacy in shaping modern medical cannabis. If you're new to How to Do the Pot, Episodes 292 and 293 tell the hidden history of women, weed, and care during the AIDS crisis—and how it shaped the future of medical cannabis.
