Play

Welcome back to another fresh episode of the Hot Box marijuana podcast. In today’s episode, I have to start out by apologizing for the bandwidth issues. Apparently there was a problem with the line box that was causing my connection to reset. The hangouts audio might be a little better if you want to watch the live show, but I cleaned up the podcast audio as best as I could. All that aside let’s welcome Nathan Betts back to the show to talk about some updates in Clarkston, and some other interesting marijuana news.

Was marijuana really a factor in the car crash that killed an Oregon lady over the July 4th holiday? I’m willing to be alcohol was more involved in the crash than cannabis was. I mean the guy fell asleep at the wheel. If marijuana did that to people, no one would be driving.

Anthony Varriano wants to re-legalize cannabis in Montana, and use some of that money to help fund public schools.
