It's a wonder why our state would sign up in effect to expand the Affordable Care Act thru the back door of false reasoning for expanding Medicaid. It begins with pretending that a limited program for a limited group of people that the States and Federal a... Host Mike Garofalo sits down with Senator Dan Laursen from Senate District 19. Senator Laursen has served in the Wyoming Legislature since 2015. In this episode, they discuss the Senator's thoughts on Medicaid Expansion, the future of marijuana in Wyoming, and more. Let your Legislators Know, No Way do I support the Expansion of Government-Run Healthcare. It will expand a federally regulated, unrealistic fee schedule based on the presumption that healthcare systems and facilities can operate for next to nothing. It will deny benefits to a small group of disabled and critically impoverished people and cre... Organized crime and international run crime operations from Mexico and China are blending into the culture of legalization of marijuana. Make no mistake it creates a State problem of law enforcement and illegality run along side inadequate state laws and state funds to manage. It costs more and it doesn't eliminate the state funding problems. In fa... CBD not marijuana has FDA approved drugs for epilepsy that helps a very small population of epileptics. CBD however, can be grown without regulation and has the propensity to grow with a THC component. Both CBD and Marijuana have no consistent testing for THC potency's that can effect people in different ways. To say Medical marijuana is a hype pro... No joke, THC potency's are greater than ever. By in large this comparison should give every concerned person pause. A drug not vetted by the FDA, as dangerous as alcohol and other illicit drugs being distributed as a natural harmless substance for whatever ails you. Wake up compromise-rs and stop pretending this is a great funding idea. The marijuana culture doesn't change its outcomes as it grows. Mental health issues are prevalent in chronic users, those users don't produce and consequentially mental health and enforcement services get overburden with the poor prospects of rehabilitation, especially of younger male addicts. Guess what, the bigger investors ore the cities a... The new drug dealers are expanding as legitimately and in more retail locations than McDonalds and Starbucks combined. Kids see it and think its safe and legal and available. The state laws require dispensaries when you plant marijuana, they force the expansion with the laws and regulations they created. Now, the state can't oversee its own r... ## [MEDICINE AND NUCLEAR POWER](https://wyliberty.org/blog/keep-wyoming-strong/medicine-and-nuclear-power) Wednesday, 28 September 2022 This fact sheet is produced by the Canadian Coalition for Nuclear Responsibility. It is important for our Legislators in WY and the public at large to be informed about the realities of nuclear energy. The promises of green funding by our ever expanding federal green policies are not viable programs for the State of WY to take a risk. Nuclear react... Let reality and reason begin to inform policy in Wyoming. Colorado and other legalized Marijuana States are only now beginning to see the big flaws in law enforcement, healthcare issues, and bottom-line buy-ins that marijuana is the best healer of pain. It's dope, folks. It affects people more adversely than proven FDA healthful uses. It's hype, a ... ![logo white 002](https://wyliberty.org/images/general_art/logo_white_002.png) **Wyoming Liberty Group** P.O. Box 9 • Burns, WY 82053 Phone: (307) 632-7020
