In this episode airing on 01/29/2024, join hosts Nate and Nick as they dive into the thick of Kansas politics, dissecting the recent legislative session with a focus on medical cannabis and the influence of money in politics. We unravel the complexities of a new medical cannabis bill making its way through the Kansas legislature and how it seemingly caters to big money interests, sidelining local growers and farmers.
Our discussion takes a critical look at the money trail in politics, examining how financial interests often steer legislative decisions and campaign funding. We explore the real-life implications of such dynamics, especially in an election year, highlighting the case of Representative Jason Probst, who, despite being pro-cannabis, finds himself in a dilemma with the current bill.
This episode is more than just an update; it's a call to action. We encourage Kansans to become informed about the politics influencing their lives. It's an election year, and your voice matters. We urge you to vote, contact your local legislators, and engage with issues you care deeply about. Nate's message is clear: reach out to your representatives, but do so cordially. Get involved, and ensure your opinions are heard.
Tune in for an engaging episode that sheds light on the intricate connections between cannabis legislation, money in politics, and the power of informed voting.
