Lots of notable marijuana headlines on a day often associated with marijuana
The Huffington Post has this piece explaining why today's date is considered special in the minds of many marijuana fans. For me, what is special today is how many interesting marijuana policy and reform stories can be found in major (and not so major) media outlets. Here is just a sample:
-
From ABC News here, "Man's Jail Death Adds New Face to Debate on Marijuana Laws"
-
From the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation here, "Federal marijuana legislation to be introduced in spring 2017, Philpott says: Health minister in New York for UN talks to review global drug treaties"
