“Just two ounces is equivalent to three joints” — the Republican arguments against legal cannabis are going well. #mnleg

I don’t know how to explain to you that other states have legal cannabis and are doing fine

pour one out for all the victims of cannabis overdoses. RIP

"How I almost wrecked my life" -- anti-cannabis Minnesota Republican says he used weed in college and it made him lazy and hurt his grades. I guess this is his reason to keep it illegal.

the same Republican who is against weed because it made him lazy talks about getting a DUI during the same speech

This probably made sense in his head

Highlighting in this thread a few recent episodes of my podcast you may have missed! The full archive of 9 episodes is available at the link below. All of them are pretty evergreen and feature smart and insightful guests, so check them out if you haven't. publicnotice.co/podcast

@JulietJeske

I've interviewed a number of people doing cool media accountability work. One of my favorite guests was @JulietJeske of @DecodingFoxNews. We discussed Fox's incessant culture warring, why stupidity is the secret to The Five's success, and more.

@abughazalehkat

I also enjoyed talking to @abughazalehkat, who spent more than 2 years watching Tucker Carlson for @mmfa. The interview took place just weeks before Tucker was fired, so it serves as a look back at his place in the right-wing media ecosystem at the end.
