Alcohol use is dropping, THC products are exploding and American healthcare is not ready for what comes next. In this episode of Working Healthcare, host Meredith Hirsh talks with her son, fermentation science student and winemaker Dalton Hirsh, about why wine has a long, metabolically familiar place in human history while today’s high potency cannabis poses new risks for brains, bodies and hospital systems. Dalton unpacks how policy loopholes let potent THC products flood the market, what that means for emergency rooms and mental health, and how ordinary voters can use farm bills and local regulation to push for smarter safeguards. Pour a glass and tap into a candid family conversation about cannabis culture, public health and the future of our care system.
