Oh god, I had to read this about 4 times before I realized that the IRS agent was making the dispensary owner pay off the IRS agent’s student loans.

Well, the podcast creators did reach out to her family, but they declined to participate (which is absolutely their right). I think the podcast was respectful of the fact that ultimately, a girl is dead who should not be. I do think that there is a degree of callousness on the part of some of the listeners, but that…
