Minnesota is now the 23rd state to make it legal for adults to use marijuana recreationally. That means a lot will change in the next few months and years. Soon it will be legal to grow and smoke marijuana. Cities and counties must allow licensed cannabis shops to open. People with certain marijuana convictions will have them effectively erased. MPR News with Angela Davis talks about this shift in attitude towards marijuana and what the new law means for people who use cannabis products and those who do not. Guests Sen. Lindsey Port, DFL-Burnsville is chief author of the bill legalizing cannabis in the Minnesota Senate. Beau Kilmer is the McCauley Chair in Drug Policy Innovation at RAND, a non-partisan think tank headquartered in Santa Monica, California where he's also co-director of the RAND Drug Policy Research Center. He's co-author of the policy primer book “Marijuana Legalization: What Everyone Needs to Know.” Subscribe to the MPR News with Angela Davis podcast on: Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or RSS.

America has faced four major drug epidemics, and many argue we're in another epidemic today. Today I spoke with Dr. Beau Kilmer about his research surrounding the problems, and possible solutions, to our drug issues. Bio: Beau Kilmer (he/him) is the McCauley Chair in Drug Policy Innovation, director of the RAND Drug Policy Research Center, and a senior policy researcher at the RAND Corporation. His research lies at the intersection of public health and public safety, with special emphasis on crime control, substance use, illegal markets, and public policy. Some of his current projects include analyzing the consequences of cannabis legalization (with a special focus on social equity); measuring the effect of 24/7 Sobriety programs on DUI, domestic violence, and mortality; facilitating San Francisco's Street-Level Drug Dealing Task Force; and evaluating the evidence and arguments made about implementing heroin-assisted treatment and supervised consumption sites. Kilmer's publications have appeared in leading journals such as New England Journal of Medicine and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, and his commentaries have been published by CNN, Los Angeles Times, New York Times, San Francisco Chronicle, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and other outlets. His coauthored book on cannabis legalization was published by Oxford University Press and his coauthored book on the future of fentanyl and other synthetic opioids was published by RAND. Kilmer received a NHTSA Public Service Award for his “leadership and innovation in the areas of alcohol and drug-impaired driving program and policy research” and his coauthored work on 24/7 Sobriety received honourable mention for the Behavioural Exchange Award for Outstanding Research. He received his Ph.D. in public policy from Harvard University, M.P.P. from UC Berkeley, and B.A. in international relations from Michigan State University.

video -> https://youtu.be/s7jMSZcIQw0Past #cannabis use is credited as the reason the #immigration authorities denied a woman's request for #citizenship this week. Cannabis remains federally classified as a schedule I drug and purportedly has no medicinal benefits. But according to Judge Nina Y. Wang, this is a demonstration of having poor “moral character” and was grounds enough to deny the Swiss citizen her naturalized American citizenship. One's moral character is called into question when applying for citizenship to America. The woman's honesty was not called into question however as she admitted to authorities that she may have used cannabis ten times when she was in her teens. And while a flawed morality argument may have prevented her from being granted an American citizenship, Snoop Dog's professional joint roller has recently been interviewed and sheds some light on how much smoke this cannabis superstar actually goes through. This fascinating insight into the life of one of the most recognized names in America will leave you stunned. But don't worry, we have more of the week's top stories plus a Halloween inspired Name That Strain. We also welcome guest speaker Dr. Beau Kilmer on the show today. Dr. Kilmer is the co-director of nonprofit, nonpartisan RAND Drug Policy Research Center. His research on cannabis policy has appeared in top journals like the New England Journal of Medicine and JAMA Psychiatry, and his commentaries on this topic have been published by CNN, Los Angeles Times, NBC, New York Times, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, and other outlets. His co-authored book on cannabis legalization was published by Oxford University Press. He grew up in Northern Michigan, is a diehard Golden State Warriors fan, and is still trying to figure out how to raise his Australian Shepard.Tune into Cannabis Legalization News with host Tom Howard and Miggy420 where we discuss these stories and more.
Earlier this year, Minnesota legalized beverages, candy and other edibles that contain small amounts of hemp-derived THC, the chemical that causes the “high” associated with smoking marijuana. That prompted many to wonder what the future of legalized marijuana is in Minnesota. A September poll by MPR News, The Star Tribune and KARE11 found that a narrow majority of Minnesotans support legalizing recreational marijuana. And DFL Gov. Tim Walz, who is running for reelection, has said he supports legalization. Nineteen states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational use of marijuana. And last month, President Joe Biden pardoned thousands of people with federal convictions for simple marijuana possession, signaling a shift in federal response to cannabis. MPR News host Angela Davis talks about the future of marijuana legalization in Minnesota, what Minnesota can learn from other states and how the issue of marijuana legalization is influencing politics. Guests: Dasheeda Dawson is the founding chair of the Cannabis Regulators of Color Coalition and the founding director of Cannabis NYC. Beau Kilmer is the McCauley Chair in Drug Policy Innovation and director of the RAND Drug Policy Research Center in Santa Monica, California. David Gang is the director of the Washington State University Center for Cannabis Policy and Outreach, in Pullman, Washington.
