How about a Stash Pot Quiz?
Loading ...Today’s Stash features our Government at Work, which for state governments right now consists of figuring out how to make do with huge budget deficits. In every conversation you have about marijuana legalization these days, you must tie it to the costs of law enforcement, the lost jobs, the unearned taxes, and keep hammering away at the fact that we can’t afford the luxury of warehousing people for their unpopular drug choices anymore.
In our first segment, former Minnesota state representative Chris DeLaForest joins us to talk about Senate File 97 which seeks to implement medical marijuana in the Gopher State. Chris also has interesting perspective on fighting for marijuana legislation as a conservative Republican. Check out MinnesotaCares.org for more information.
In our second segment, Tom Daubert from Montana Patients and Families United is here to run down the good news about legislation in Big Sky Country – good bills that are moving forward and bad bills that have been stopped.
Oh, and our musical break today is phhhatt!
