The Commonwealth Beat with Laura LeBeau is a statewide Public Affairs program airing on all Seven Mountains Media Pennsylvania radio stations.
On this episode, Laura begins the first of the two-part interview with Dr. Kent Vrana, Chairman of the Department of Pharmacology and Director of the Medical Marijuana Research Group at the Penn State College of Medicine in Hershey. He understands marijuana at the molecular level, and has great concerns about the THC levels that currently exist in medical marijuana, and would likely increase, once recreational marijuana is legalized. He also discusses the side effects of high levels of THC, and the possible physical health and mental health consequences of long-term marijuana consumption.
in the PA-mazing segment, we'll head off to Pymatuning State Park in Crawford County, in the northwestern part of the Commonwealth. Come April 8th, it's going to be a beehive of activity, as the nation lapses into darkness during the total solar eclipse that will be taking place. We'll hear from the park manager, who's planning a number of eclipse-related activities.
