MJ is helpful in that situation they say, so yes that could be a factor in his decision I guess.

might be the time for adult use. States with Democratic gov’s are def thinking about it. Too bad Maryland elected, then re-elected, Republican & anti cannabis gov Larry Hogan. Maryland you picked a fine time to re-elect a “Thug.” 😱 Obviously many Democrats voted for Hogan. I wasn’t one of them! I, proudly, voted for Ben Jealous.
