by Wyoming Liberty Group Pro-pot forces recently hailed Kamala Harris when the Democratic presidential nominee picked Tim Walz as her running mate for vice president, calling it the "Cannabis Dream Team." More like the marijuana nightmare—at least for us in Wyoming, where we have sought to halt the proverbial barbarians at the gate. We've been succ...
by Wyoming Liberty Group A lot of facts get lost in the sound and fury over the move by the Biden administration to reschedule marijuana as a less dangerous drug. But those facts are important, especially to us in Wyoming, where we have been successful at blocking pro-pot forces from invading the cowboy state. Marijuana, the mind-altering drug, rem...
by Wyoming Liberty Group Ever heard of Kamala Kush? It's the dubious name of a strain of marijuana being peddled to the masses, and it's named after none other than Kamala Harris, the Democratic nominee for the president of the United States. Sure, there have been late-night comedy jokes about this strain of weed. Even Harris herself has kidded abo...
by Wyoming Liberty Group Just because the president of the United States wants something doesn't make it so. That's especially the case with Biden's favorable opinion on marijuana. Lately, the president has been publicly pushing to reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, which would designate it as a less dangerous drug, despite a hal...
by Wyoming Liberty Group Recently, about 150 social workers called for President Biden to decriminalize marijuana. Why should we care in Wyoming? Well, for at least one good reason: Beware of the slippery slope. Yes, that's right. First, Biden pushed to have his administration reschedule marijuana from Schedule I to Schedule III, the first such mov...
by Wyoming Liberty Group It ain't over 'til it's over—or so the old saying goes. And thank goodness for that. Because if it was up to President Joe Biden, marijuana would already be reclassified as a less dangerous drug, opening the door to all kinds of mayhem. In recent months, Biden's administration has taken major steps, pandering primarily to y...
In this episode of Eye on the Issues, we sit down with Isaac Orr from Always On Energy Research to discuss the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and its regulations affecting Wyoming.

by Wyoming Liberty Group The argument goes something like this: Delta 8 is a less potent drug than regular marijuana, so what's the big deal? Well, in short, it is a big deal—because the mind-altering drug is in fact quite potent and hazardous. But don't tell that to a group of hemp folks who are suing the state and governor over a recently passed ...
In this episode of Eye on the Issues, we examine the recent legalization of marijuana in Ohio and its potential impacts on local businesses.

by Wyoming Liberty Group Just in case you're wondering, we in Wyoming are not alone. Other states are fighting against powerful pro-pot forces that are trying to legalize marijuana throughout the country. We've been part of the resistance movement for several years, and perhaps it's part of our DNA, the rugged individualism and independence that di...
by Wyoming Liberty Group Black is white. Up is down. Right is wrong. That's kind of the crazy concept behind the ballot initiative in Florida that's seeking to legalize marijuana for adult use—or so-called "recreational" weed. (It's not a pastime, for the uninitiated.) The pro-pot forces there, aiming for the November ballot, are turning arguments ...

by Wyoming Liberty Group The sound you just heard was that of near silence. A national story went out without much notice recently, making some headlines, but if you weren't paying attention, it was easy to miss. And yet, it's a troubling story that we in Wyoming should all pay close attention to. Because it may be coming here soon. The story is th...

by Wyoming Liberty Group If you really want to know the truth about marijuana, especially as forces continue to try to legalize it in Wyoming, even as the federal government moves to reclassify pot as a less dangerous drug, who better to hear from than a diehard?

by Wyoming Liberty Group Call it an illusion. It sounds good, in principle: More healthcare coverage for those who can't afford it. Who wouldn't want that? But as the old saying goes, nothing's really free. That includes Medicaid, the government program aimed at providing health insurance for children and adults with limited resources. For years, p...
