NEW YORK, Jan. 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- On the first business day that Californians can now buy Cannabis, legally for adult use, The Green Rush Podcast interviewed Congressman Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) on the future of the federal prohibition of legal marijuana. Lewis Goldberg and Anne Donohoe, the hosts of the leading podcast focused on the intersection of the cannabis industry and the capital markets, asked Congressman Rohrabacher the questions everyone in the industry wants to know including:
- What role will Attorney General Sessions play in 2018 when it comes to cannabis?
- How will the federal government address the social injustices associated with the way minorities are treated by law enforcement around cannabis laws?
- When does he believe the Federal Government will allow for funding for research into the medicinal qualities of cannabis?
- When does he believe the Federal Government will deschedule and legalize cannabis?
"Few members of Congress have had the influence and passion to move the Federal Government forward on cannabis issues than Congressman Rohrabacher," said Anne Donohoe, co-host of The Green Rush and Leader of KCSA Strategic Communication's Cannabis Practice. "We have interviewed CEOs, members of the media and major influencers, and now we are speaking with one of the most important legislators in the country on this issue. The United States has come a long way when it comes to full legalization, but there is still so much more work to do. We asked the Congressman about the road ahead, and what he is doing – and pushing his colleagues and President Donald Trump to affect even more and faster change."
"Given that the vast majority of Americans believe in legalization – and the attitudes towards Cannabis legalization cross party lines- it maked sense for Anne and I to speak with the most important Republican in Congress on this issue," Lewis Goldberg, co-host and Managing Partner of KCSA Strategic Communications added. "Furthermore, with California now a legal, adult-use state, we are at a defining moment in the history of cannabis in this country. On the Green Rush, Anne and I talk about what that means for us as a country, what it means for California, and even what it means for the Congressman's district in Orange County, one of the districts that is not so keen on having legal cannabis in its community."
