    ===== MDJ Script/ Top Stories for November 21st Publish Date:  November 21st    Commercial: From the BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast.    Today is Friday, November 21st and Happy Birthday to Stan The Man Musial I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Cobb targets millions in federal funds to counter drones, boost World Cup security Smyrna denies five-story apartment building Interrogation videos highlight third day of trial for man accused of killing Acworth neighbors Plus, Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe!  BREAK: INGLES 10 STORY 1: Cobb targets millions in federal funds to counter drones, boost World Cup security  Next summer, Cobb County will play host to international soccer teams prepping for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, one of the biggest sporting events ever. With Atlanta set to host eight matches at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, Cobb will handle training, transportation, and fan events. But with that comes challenges—crowds, security, and logistics. To prepare, county officials are asking for Homeland Security grants to boost safety measures, including $7.5–$12 million for drone detection tech. Training sites? Atlanta United’s grounds in Marietta, KSU’s Fifth Third Stadium, and possibly Pace Academy. “The more popular the team, the bigger the crowds,” said Cobb EMA Director Cassie Mazloom. STORY 2: Smyrna denies five-story apartment building  The Smyrna City Council shot down a rezoning request for a 250-unit apartment complex this week, with a 5-2 vote against the proposal. Wood Partners South Acquisitions LLC had pitched a five-story mixed-use development on 6.7 acres along Highlands Parkway, near Technology Court. The plan included 250 apartments—mostly one- and two-bedroom units—plus retail space, a pool, and a courtyard. Councilwoman Latonia Hines acknowledged the project’s quality but questioned the location. “It’s a great development—just not here,” she said. The Planning Board and city staff had already recommended denial, citing conflicts with the area’s industrial zoning. STORY 3: Interrogation videos highlight third day of trial for man accused of killing Acworth neighbors On the third day of Matthew Lanz’s murder trial, the defense finally had its turn. Lanz, now 26, sat quietly in a green jumpsuit, his hair unkempt, his face hidden behind a scruffy beard. Prosecutors played interrogation videos from 2021, where Lanz, then 22, denied killing his neighbors, Justin and Amber Hicks. “I didn’t murder them,” he said. “Someone murdered them.” The Hicks, both 31, were found shot to death in their home, their two-year-old son unharmed nearby. Lanz is accused of breaking in through a back window and pulling the trigger. The trial, a bench trial at the defense’s request, will hinge on Judge Sonja Brown’s decision. Prosecutors rested their case Wednesday, leaving the defense to decide if Lanz will testify. In one chilling video, Lanz asked police if Amber Hicks had been pregnant. She wasn’t, but his comment left the courtroom uneasy. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info.  We’ll be right back. Break: STRAND THEATRE STORY 4: State Senate election appears headed toward runoff  It looks like Democrats Jaha Howard and Roger Bruce are headed for a runoff in the special election to fill the state Senate seat vacated by Jason Esteves. Unofficial results show Howard leading with 32.6% of the vote, followed by Bruce at 25.4%. The six-candidate race was a whirlwind, with just over a month to campaign. “We had to gear up in days,” Howard said, calling the campaign a “faith journey.” Bruce, a Capitol veteran with 22 years in the Georgia House, leaned on endorsements from big names like former Gov. Roy Barnes. The runoff is set for Dec. 16. STORY 5: Smyrna limits vape shop locations, approves Tolleson Aquatic Center contract This week, Smyrna’s City Council cracked down on vape shops, unanimously passing an ordinance to define and restrict them. “Right now, they’re just lumped in with general retail,” said Community Development Director Rusty Martin. “This lets us set some boundaries.” The new rules? Vape shops—defined as retailers primarily selling alternative nicotine or vapor products—can’t open within 1,000 feet of another vape shop, schools, or daycares. In other council news, Arrow Waste got the green light (6-1) for a temporary office on Riverview Road, despite concerns about a nearby fuel tank. Also approved: a $16.23M contract for the Tolleson Aquatic Center, set to open in 2027. And now here is Leah McGrath from Ingles Markets on rice We’ll have closing comments after this.

    113. Psychedelic Law in Seattle: What's Actually Legal in 2025?SetSet Salon breaks down psychedelic law in Seattle with attorneys Perry Salzhauer & Daniel Shortt—what the entheogen resolution covers, what it doesn't, and the risks it creates.Episode SummaryMost people think Seattle has legalized psychedelics. It hasn't—at all. In this episode, recorded live at SetSet's Psychedelic Salon at Town Hall Seattle, host April Pride sits down with attorneys Perry Salzhauer and Daniel Shortt—two of the most respected legal voices shaping psychedelic and cannabis policy in the U.S.Together, they break down psychedelic law in Seattle, clarify what the city's 2021 Entheogen Resolution really allows (and what it absolutely does not), and explain the risks around gifting, cultivating, and even discussing psychedelics in a professional setting.If you're microdosing quietly, contemplating a community container, or considering any psychedelic-related offering, this episode is your essential legal literacy guide.Frequently Asked Questions About Psychedelic Law in Seattle1. Is psilocybin legal in Seattle?No. Psilocybin is still illegal under Washington state and federal law. Seattle's 2021 resolution merely deprioritizes enforcement for certain activities such as possession, gifting, and small-scale cultivation.2. What does “decriminalized” actually mean in Seattle?Seattle has not decriminalized psychedelics. Instead, the City Council instructed law enforcement to place the lowest priority on pursuing cases involving noncommercial entheogen possession, gifting, and cultivation.3. Can I legally buy mushrooms in Seattle?No. Any form of purchasing—even disguised transactions like “stickers,” “sandwiches,” or “cover charges that include mushrooms”—falls outside the resolution and can still lead to prosecution.4. Is gifting psychedelics allowed?Gifting without any compensation—money, labor, products, services, or “value”—is deprioritized for enforcement.However, anything that resembles a commercial transaction can increase legal risk.5. Can I grow mushrooms at home in Seattle?Cultivation is formally deprioritized under the city resolution, but still illegal under state and federal law. There is no legal safe harbor for personal cultivation.6. Are psychedelic therapy sessions legal in Washington?No. Washington has no legal pathway for psychedelic-assisted therapy. Colorado currently offers the safest regulated route for professionals seeking to integrate entheogens into clinical practice.

    Send us a textHere's a conversation with a broadcast veteran who's spent nearly 30 years in large-market media—hosting radio, interviewing icons like Eminem, Mike Tyson, Jim Brown, and Kendrick Lamar, and now operating on the executive side with a global music brand. He helped pioneer the shift from traditional radio to YouTube, building on-air personalities into on-screen creators and translating audience habits into sustainable digital growth.We dig into the strategy behind platform transitions: how to repurpose radio segments for video, design thumbnails and titles that convert, and build a content pipeline that keeps creators consistent without burning out. Expect real talk on partnerships, rights, monetization, and measuring what matters across broadcast, YouTube, and socials.His community work runs just as deep. Through Monrovia's public access network KGEM-TV, he developed civic programming—City Council and School Board recaps, How to Run for Office, Digital Dialogues—and produced events like House Party at the Park to bring neighbors together. He's launching commUNITY reIMAGINED and hopes to expand DREAM CHASERS career day in the SGV, connecting students with creative-industry pros.Recognition followed: a national honor from the Alliance for Community Media (Jewell Ryan White award for cultural diversity) and a role as city delegate in bringing the All-America City award home to Monrovia. If you care about radio-to-digital evolution, music business strategy, community media, and youth mentorship, this episode is a playbook.
