From NHL Enforcer to Cannabis Ambassador
In today’s episode, Alex and Donny speak to Dale Purinton, a former defenseman (“enforcer”) for the New York Rangers, about the true toll that professional hockey, and the concussions standard to the game, takes on athletes’ physical and mental health, as well as how cannabis has helped. They also discuss the illegal vs legal cannabis markets in California, the topic of a recent CBS “60 Minutes” feature this week, and the question of who’s to blame for under-performing cannabis stocks.
