by Wyoming Liberty Group "Just say no." Remember that? Or how about this one: "This is your brain on drugs." Once upon a time, decades ago, these were famous taglines for major national campaigns to discourage people—children, in particular—from using illicit drugs. And those ads stuck—people remembered the campaigns because they were effective, an...

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 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.

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 ...

We spoke with Angela Phillips, a business owner who runs a steel tube manufacturing company in Ohio. Angela shares her concerns about the legalization, from workplace safety to hiring challenges and the broade...

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 ...
