Ice Watch with *Redacted*
This week on Propaganda By the Seed I've gone on a tangent, instead on my normal plant stuff, I'm talking to a couple folks who have been monitoring our local ICE facility and supporting the people most effected by ICE detentions. We talk about what they've been doing, what they are hearing from people who have been detained and what you can do to help. If you are local, you can join them any day from 7am to 4pm at 40 Manson Libby Rd, Scarborough, Maine. If you are not local, there is probably a similar activity near you. If you want to donate, my guests recommend: Maine Solidarity Fund, Project Relief and Presente Maine. If you see ICE active in Maine call or text (207)544-9989. Fuck ICE.

Kratom with Dr. Christopher McCurdy and Dr. Swathi Nadakuduti
In this episode I'm speaking with Dr. Christopher McCurdy and Dr. Swathi Nadakuduti about Kratom (Mitragyna speciosa). If you aren't familiar with this species, they are a tree from South-East Asia whose leaves have been chewed or brewed for a long time for a variety of reasons, but mostly used in a similar way to Coffee or Coca. More recently powdered leaves and live plants have been imported across the globe and have been used for similar uses as well as for treating pain, substituting for opioids and many other purposes. Between these 2 guests we cover traditional use, cultivation, chemical constituents, recent changes in the Kratom marketplace, and best practices for consumption. I was very impressed with their ability to speak on these topics utilizing their many years of primary research, but also in way that should be easily understood by most listeners. You can contact them through their faculty pages, or find their work on Google Scholar (Christopher / Swathi) or check out the website of the Nadakuduti Lab. The other podcasts I mention in the intro are: The Dugout, The Beautiful Idea. Thanks to MK for having me on The Child and It's Enemies.
