EP111: TTP Reacting to the Senator Ty Masterson on Medical Cannabis

The Higher Points

In a special episode released on 02/05/2024, Nate Hiatt and Kaden Whittington dive deep into the heart of the recent Kansas legislative session, specifically focusing on the contentious medical cannabis bill. Through a detailed discussion, we react to Senator Ty Masterson's recent interview with KSNT, juxtaposing his viewpoints with those of the Kansas Cannabis Coalition (KCC).

Their conversation explores Masterson's comments on the perceived "disaster" in Oklahoma's medical cannabis program, the portrayal of medical marijuana, and the pressing need to protect Kansas's population, especially the youth. The KCC provides insightful retorts, highlighting the oversupply issue in Oklahoma as a result of legislative design rather than the program itself, debunking myths about the market, and underscoring the extensive scientific evidence supporting medical cannabis as a legitimate medicine.

They also touch upon the public's desire for access to medical cannabis, contrasting it with the fear of protecting children from potential misuse. The episode aims to shed light on the complexities of introducing a medical cannabis program in Kansas, emphasizing the importance of education, proper regulation, and the economic benefits of a well-structured cannabis industry.

Join them for an engaging, thought-provoking discussion that encourages listeners to reflect on the information presented by mainstream media, understand the nuances of the medical cannabis debate, and consider the implications of legislative decisions on everyday Kansans.
