420 Term + Straw Poll

from Newsradio WGAN · host Newsradio WGAN

The conversation revolves around the origin of the term "420," which started in 1971 in San Rafael, California, as a code for cannabis consumption among a group of high school students known as the Waldos. The discussion then shifts to a straw poll conducted by the Maine Republican Party, where Ben Midgley led with 31.9%, Bobby Charles was second at 29.5%, and Jonathan Bush was third at 13.2%. The conversation also touches on the importance of the legislature in shaping policy, despite the focus on high-profile governors.
