Medical marijuana is a hot topic throughout Louisiana. This legislative session multiple bill have been presented to help get medical cannabis into the hands of Louisiana citizens who may benefit. Right now the state policies are a bit confusing and federal law says marijuana is illegal. 

Tim Hitt is an advocate of changing the state and federal laws.  

We will discuss the issue at KEDM Policy and a Pint: A Blunt Look at Louisiana Marijuana Policy.  The event will feature panelist who will answer you questions about the benefits and drawbacks of  cannabis. 

KEDM will be at the Iron Cactus in downtown Monroe Tuesday, May 15. KEDM will have a meet and greet with our panelist and guest at 5:30 p.m. and our "LIVE" radio discussion will begin at 6:00 pm.
