If you’re reading this after October 9, 2020, unfortunately, we had to delete all links to outside sources. While Cannabis Legalization News is an educational news show, the very center of many of our discussions is cannabis. Cannabis currently remains federally illegal and YouTube is mandated by federal regulations. We implore you to go to our website “Cannabis Industry Lawyer” and subscribe to our newsletter so you can keep up with all cannabis legalization news. Please always comply with your jurisdiction’s cannabis laws. If they delete our channel, we’re sorry – we tried to comply but they said we did not.
