Potcast 37: CBD Legalese

If you're paying attention you know our U.S. government is in disarray and there's a lack of cohesive leadership at the highest levels. Contradicting agendas are being pushed creating confusion across the board - from the State Department to public education to immigration to healthcare, cannabis, and hemp.

Current State Cannabis Laws

I tend to look to Norml when studying individual state laws or checking for updates. NORML's mission is to move public opinion sufficiently to legalize the responsible use of marijuana by adults, and to serve as an advocate for consumers to assure they have access to high-quality marijuana that is safe, convenient and affordable.

What Can You Do?

If you utilize social media Twitter is where the political conversations happen. Tweet at your local and state government officials, your local news and radio stations and personalities, and national political influencers like the team at Crooked Media - @jonfavs | @danpfeiffer | @tvietor08 | @jonlovett. Strategically generate dialogue, ask questions, and share your personal stories and support of CBD, hemp, and cannabis. It takes a village! Don't sit back and be pissed when you don't get your way. Get involved and be the change you want to see in this country!

And don't forget to use hashtags so your message doesn't get lost in the abyss - #CBD | #SaveCBD | #CannabisLegal.
