Portland State University Hosts Panel On Marijuana Legalization Under Measure 80

Today’s episode of The Russ Belville Show was pre-empted today as I appeared at Portland State University along with Sam Chapman from Oregonians for Law Reform and Anthony Johnson from National Cannabis Coalition to discuss marijuana legalization under Oregon’s Measure 80.

The panel was hosted by the Portland State University Debate Club and co-sponsored by Students for Sensible Drug Policy, Students for Liberty, and the International Socialist Organization. Yes, marijuana legalization brings together the libertarians and the socialists!
