Legalizing Marijuana in MN: Part 2
Multiple bills at the MN State Legislature take on legalizing marijuana/cannabis. Hear from PAT FEARING, longtime advocate of MEDICAL MARIJUANA: how the Minnesota's medical marijuana program is narrow, expensive and works for very few patients; how other states deal with the issue and what's gong on with clinical research. Plus: CHRIS WRIGHT, a founder of the MN GRASSROOTS PARTY and former candidate for MN Governor: reflects on his 33 years of marijuana activism and the omission in current proposed laws that violates Minnesota's State Constitution.
