It's 420 time again. There's much to talk about, particularly with the passage of the decriminalization bill in the House which is now on its way to the Senate. Beyond that, there's the much-needed conversation around cannabis justice and what happens to those who have been incarcerated for minor offenses, where is this newfound weed money concentrated, what does this mean for states and tax revenue, how can growers circumvent the red tape and steep costs to buy into the cannabis game. Guest Steven Van Patten (publisher of Growth: The Basics From Our Gardens) joins Dr. Stewart, Terence and Jasper to provide some historical context along with ag industry veteran and growers advocate Patrick Ellis and attorney Jan Waddell who provide the boots on the ground and legal perspective.
