Iowa Public Radio’s Ben Kieffer Hosts WeedPress For An Hour Long Discussion At Iowa Capitol Law Library [TRANSCRIPT SOON]

This interview took place April 2nd 2019. Unexpectedly Ben Kieffer brought up the WeedPress blog (follow us on Facebook) and asked about it, so I figured it’s relevant to post here.

Listen to the full hour of this Legislative Day edition of River to River here-

Bills exploring medical marijuana and the definition of an “unborn person” are up for discussion at the Iowa Statehouse.

During this episode of River to River, we take a look at a Senate bill that could further define criminal charges for a nonconsensual termination of pregnancy and discuss a House bill that could expand the program for medical cannabis in the state.

Guests:

• Sen. Jake Chapman, R – Adel

• Sen. Janet Petersen, D – Des Moines

• Rep. Jarad Klein, R – Keota

• Rep. John Forbes, D – Urbandale

• Sen. Tom Greene, R – Burlington

• Jason Karimi, Executive Director of Iowa Patients for Medical Marijuana

I’ve meant to get around to typing up a transcript of the show and finally have time this week. Stay tuned.
