Episode 46 - Could Legal Cannabis in Mexico be the End of US-led International Drug War?

This week we look at the direction the US government is heading internationally with their drug policies. And then we take a look at an unusual criminal prosecution of a state legal cannabis business in Alaska, for their unapproved use of pesticides. And finally, a week after we talked about potential THC cap legislation, we take a look at a new bill in Colorado that would require schools to store cannabis based meds for student use. Could that law become a model for the rest of the nation?

We’ll be discussing all this and more on the BEST cannabis podcast in the business.

As we like to say around here, “Everyone knows what happened in marijuana today, but you need to know what’s happening in Marijuana Tomorrow!” ----more----SHOW NOTES
