How Lemons Led to the Rise of the Mob

For plant crimes, we need plant laws. The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora regulations are the closest thing to international plant laws in existence. Today, we’re going to learn about who decides whether one gorgeous electric guitar can legally enter the U.K. We’re also going to learn about the groups who are fighting those laws, and why.    Plant Crimes is written and produced by me, Ellen Airhart.

Intro music by Doxent Zsigmond and theme song and outro music is by APM.
