7AM: Courthouse Cannabis Debate, Respect vs. Normalization, Business Rights Discussion (Hour 1)

Homer and Dame open the hour reacting to comments from Judge David Borowski, who voiced frustration about the Milwaukee County Courthouse frequently smelling like marijuana — even inside courtrooms. The conversation quickly turns into a broader debate: is it appropriate to show up to court smelling like cannabis, especially when it remains illegal in Wisconsin? Dame argues Milwaukee is behind the times socially, noting that cannabis use has become normalized across much of the country. Homer counters that court is the most serious place someone could be that day and not the place to test boundaries, particularly when the law hasn’t changed locally. Sherwin Hughes joins the conversation, emphasizing that courtrooms demand respect and that private businesses have the right to refuse service if odor or behavior disrupts customers. Callers weigh in passionately, with some supporting the right of establishments to set their own standards and others questioning whether singling out marijuana could lead to inconsistent or discriminatory enforcement. The hour closes with a layered debate about legality, social norms, liability, and personal responsibility.
