Episode 079: Up in Smoke: "The Fight to Legalize Marijuana in Indiana"

February 15th, 2020  |  50 mins

bone thugs n harmony, indiana governor eric "i hate freedom" holcomb, katherine nunley-kritsch, legalize marijuana, medical and recreational use, norml national organization for the reform of marijuana laws, perception is reality w/kristopher h. bilbrey, up in smokethe fight to legalize marijuana in indiana

Host Kristopher H. Bilbrey welcomes to the show, special guest: Katherine Nunley-Kritsch, an outspoken citizen-activist & member of the Indiana Chapter of N.O.R.M.L. (the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws) for a serious discussion about the fight to legalize Marijuana in the State of Indiana! Currently 33 States, along with the Nations Capital, have legalized Marijuana for medical use & 11 States, along with D.C., have legalized it for recreational use!

It's time for Indiana to step out of 1937 and move forward into the future... a future of FREEDOM, LIBERTY & PERSONAL CHOICE! And it is important to note, before anyone goes off pronouncing Bilbrey as a "pot head"... be cautioned, he doesn't partake! However, again, this is not a discussion of what he likes or doesn't like, rather it is a discussion of what the Government should be able to have control of, or not! Its time for Indiana Governor Eric "I Hate FREEDOM" Holcomb to take the "peace pipe" and help legalize something that grown, adults should be able to use, if so inclined... not to mention, the hundreds of thousands of people it could help medically! What kind of conservative did you say you were again, Holcomb? Ehh?

Also... we hope you enjoy the appropriately picked "theme" musi-[er, uh... DUE TO US COPYRIGHT LAWS]-poem that is read!

Bilbrey, had time, during a break from the Trump Impeachment Trial coverage to watch a 'new 2019 release' Netflix movie called: "Marriage Story" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_Story).

Kristopher H. Bilbrey discusses the boring Democratic Candidates' Presidential Debate from 01.14.20. It had: no excitement, nothing to get folks fired up and/or nothing that makes people want to back any of the 243 Democrat Candidates battling each other to see who will get a chance to LOSE to President Trump in November of 2020!

KRISTOPHER THEN MAKES A VERY IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT - DURING THIS EPISODE!

The Impeachment Trial will be starting in the Senate on 01.21.20! We talk about that, while discussing Chief Justice John Roberts & the Senators being sworn in on 01.16.20. We then name the 7 House of Representatives Impeachment Managers!

The 2nd portion of the episode was set aside for discussion of local politics... but a decision to leave a “LIVE-to-TAPE” live recorded segment in, rather than editing it out cuts into the local coverage a bit (take a listen and see what went on)! The episode does end on local coverage!
