'Fault Lines' host Garland Nixon is currently in Toronto, Canada to cover the country's implementation of marijuana legalization. Frequent guest Dr. Bosworth joins the show to talk about the effects of marijuana on the brain and what users should understand about both short and long-term usage.

The story of Russian interference in the 2016 election continues to linger as outlets such as the 'New York Times' promote the scope and effectiveness of various election-related operations as being massive. Investigative Historian and Journalist Gareth Porter returns to the show to talk about the reporting done by the NY Times on social media election interference and the glaring issues with their journalistic work.

Over the past few years, it has become more common for people to talk about politics using terms such as "Deep State" and "Shadow Government." Former CIA Officer Kevin Shipp joins the show for the first time to discuss these topics and how certain secret elements inside the federal government are able to function with minimal oversight and accountability.
