It's all very fascinating to this observer, to witness actual changes happening in marijuana laws. Consumers, growers, companies, politicians, and governments are all feeling their way through a minefield of a gradual unwinding of marijuana prohibition. There are so many baby steps. Many have an agenda, be it complex or basic -- self-centered or compassionate to others. And for good reason, most have a guard up in some form.

You may have seen our earlier piece on "Life after Pot", touching on meetings in Humboldt county regarding legalization. Through the efforts of KMUD radio, we all continue to receive a stream of good information from the Emerald Triangle area of Mendocono, Humboldt and Trinity counties in Northern California. Please support KMUD if you can. These are interesting and challenging times for many. Open your mind to the concerns of those on all sides, then form your opinions.

KMUD has posted audio from their April 26 edition featuring more related discussion from the (packed) Saturday Afternoon Club meeting in Ukiah on Saturday, April 24. Their audio report on this meeting begins at about 16:30 minutes into their newscast.

Thank you, KMUD. And thank you to those who are allowing this open discussion to happen. It's refreshing. We will continue to follow this story.
