The approach of the New Year prompts reflection for many. And Mari is no exception. In this episode Brandon and Angela talk through what Mari's reflections on the approaching new year (in 1898!), how conflict plagues mankind, and the importance of truth-tellers. The featured text in her diary entry dates back even further...to 1860. Mari finds Doc McMeen's "Report of the Ohio State Medical Committee on Cannabis Indica" to be informative and relevant, even 40 years after publication. (If you asked Brandon and Angela, they'd predict that Mari would find the report relevant today! They certainly did.)
