Friday morning cannabis breakfast news!

Three items of interest this morning from around the state:
1) Good news for a California truck driver who was acquitted by a La Crosse County jury on charges of transporting a half-ton of cannabis among his tomatoes. Here’s details from WKBT television in La Crosse: “California Man Not Guilty in Pot Trial” click here
2) Bad news for the Ex-Brown Co. WI GOP leader who is facing trial for charges including having sex with an underage boy he gave beer and pot to. Sad tale of the fall of a Republican leader who once worked closely with Mark Green, John Gard and other NE WI GOP notables. PostCrescent.Com: “Ex-Brown Co. GOP leader faces trial on sex charges” click here.
3) Meanwhile, the Capital Times is reporting yet another Wisconsin State Assembly representative will not be seeking reelection this fall, bringing the number to 7 so far. Of that number, 3 are Democrats who have been consistent and reliable sponsors or cosponsors of medical cannabis legislation, (Frank Boyle, Barb Gronemus and Dave Travis). The 4 Republicans are all regarded as moderates, and several have sponsored, cosponsored or supported medical cannabis, hemp or cannabis decriminalization bills. Capital Times: “Rep. Jeskewitz won't run; Assembly retirements now up to 7” click here.
