Weed Talk NEWS – Mitch Counts Cannabis, Biggest US Marijuana Funding Deal Ever, and the LinkedIn of Pot

What is happening in marijuana business news this week?  Jimmy Young of Pro Cannabis Media and Curt Dalton of Cannabis.net get together by Zoom to discuss the latest cannabis news from around North America. This week we have Mitch McConnell, the Republican senator from Kentucky, and big supporter of the Hemp Bill and Kentucky farmers, slamming the Democrats’ use of the word “cannabis” in the new COVID-19 funding bill.  Mitch likes to count and he counts 68 times that the word cannabis is used in the new Democratic version of the stimulus package.  While we applaud Mitch for using the correct term for the plant, he does demonize those making a living and profiting from “marijuana”.
