Dude, it’s Legal: Marijuana and Cannibus Laws Open the Door to New Exploration of this Herb
In this re-airing of Show 8: Dude, it’s Legal: Marijuana and Cannabis Laws Open the Door to New Exploration of this Herb, originally shared in 2014, The team explores the legalization of Recreational Marijuana. Here’s the original synopsis:
“This month, three states plus Washington D.C. asked voters to decide whether or not marijuana should be legalized for recreational use. Only one rejected legalizing it for recreation. Today, we’re going to take a look at the laws that have been passed, focusing on Oregon’s, and medicinal and recreational use of marijuana. Be aware that some of the language and subject matter may be a little colorful and inappropriate for younger listeners.”
