Interview with Senate Media Services

Senator Port Encouraging Minnesotans to Explore THC-Use and to Come to a "Cannabis Understanding:"

Troubling language of Senator Port includes, "People have now, sort of, found different paths into a cannabis understanding….It’s no longer just smoking a joint....It’s in low-dose gummy forms that help you sleep, it’s in an edible form or a drink, a THC beverage, in ways that people see fitting in their everyday lives.”

This notion, here, contradicts Sen. Port and other proponents' bogus promises to the Legislature that the Bill's mandates (normalizing and guarantying statewide-access) will not increase cannabis use.

Sen. Port is encouraging Minnesotans who do not use cannabis to try various forms and potentially join newly minted ranks of daily users.
