ByJay Selthofner 08/12/201912/06/2019

Nice to see Republicans Shae Sortwell and Jeff Mursau standing next to cannabis plants, even if they are low/no thc hemp strains. It all starts somewhere! Of the two, I think Rep. Mursau needs more work, as Rep. Sortwell has introduced AB 236 concerning medical marijuana patients privacy/owning firearms and Rep. Mursau is using the…

ByJay Selthofner 03/09/202003/09/2020

This is not new for the elephants in the room and it may not all be politically driven as some of these people just hate marijuana. It is…
