After a *brief* hiatus, the Libras are back! Join Nat and Madi as they catch up after a month and a half of not recording. They talk about the new addition to the TTL fam, the election, and OF COURSE their plants. Stay tuned for the last two episodes in this season, the Libras are researching some awesome topics and can't wait to share their thoughts with you! 

Ganja, Smoke, the Devil's Lettuce, Wacky Tobaccy, Weed, Marijuana. Tune in to join Nat and Madi in their conversation about the criminalization of weed in the US. They talk about the criminalizing legislation, the medical decriminalization, non-medical decriminalization, and how the criminalization of weed is intertwined with systemic racism and the prison industrial complex. Let us know if you support the federal legalization of weed, or why you don't. Message us on Instagram (@thosetwolibras), email us (thosetwolibras@gmail.com), or send us a voice message (link below).  Link to the "Dangers of Marijuana" video Madi mentioned: https://youtu.be/DcW1GnWF0eM

Tune in to Nat and Madi talking about the Marvel Cinematic Universe (sorry comic fans). The Libras discuss the vastness of the MCU, their favorite movies, their favorite soundtracks, and the devastating news about the passing of Chadwick Boseman. Chadwick was an actor central to the Black Panther and Avengers Movies, which are part of the MCU. Not only was he an incredible actor in the MCU, but Chadwick also portrayed many historical Black figures such as Jackie Robinson, Thurgood Marshall, and James Brown. The Black community, and to a much lesser extent the MCU fandom, has suffered such a great loss. Rest In Peace, Chadwick Boseman.

Inspired by the podcast "Oh Slurp... Dumb Bitch Juice" with Nathan and Luna, Nat and Madi relive the glory days of high school and college. The Libras discuss things they did while drunk, and parties they went to and/or hosted. Tune in to hear exclusive details of Nat and Madi's 22nd birthday party! 

In part 2 of their psychedelics recording, Nat and Madi discuss experiments that used psychedelics. They talk about Timothy Leary, of the Harvard Psilocybin Project, and his experiments, and MK Ultra a set of experiments performed by the CIA often on civilians. MK Ultra is so wild it sounds like a conspiracy theory, but it really happened! 

Get out of your mind during this episode.  This is Part 1 of a long conversation. Nat and Madi talk about psychedelics and are joined by return-guest Javi. He shares his experience doing psychedelics since neither Nat nor Madi has gone on their own trips. Part 2 on Timothy Leary, his experiments using psychedelics, and a conspiracy theory (but not really) involving the use of psychedelics will be out next week! 

Nat and Madi weren't able to record this week, so they decided to re-release their New Rap Favs episode from over one year ago. Enjoy and they'll be back next week with a brand new episode!
