In this episode of Crayon Box Politics Weekly, recorded on Monday, March 10th, 2025, hosts Carl and Avery discuss the latest state and federal legislation related to marijuana. The discussion includes a detailed look at congressional bills such as the Veterans Cannabis Use for Safe Healing Act (H.R. 966 and H.R. 1384) addressing veterans' access to medical cannabis. They also cover state-specific initiatives, highlighting a controversial Idaho bill (H0007) that increases penalties for marijuana possession, a Montana bill reallocating marijuana tax revenue, and South Carolina's H3018 focused on decriminalizing marijuana for veterans. The episode culminates with a unique look at Tennessee's 'Pot for Potholes' initiative, which aims to use marijuana tax revenues for road infrastructure projects. Throughout, the hosts share insights, jokes, and debate the impacts of these legislative actions, providing a comprehensive and engaging overview of current marijuana-related policies in the U.S. We’d also love to hear from you—share your thoughts, experiences, or questions by submitting an audio clip to contact@crayonboxpolitics.com.
