Dr. Kenneth Finn, Vice President of the International Academy on the Science and Impacts of Cannabis, explores the potential implications of reclassifying marijuana as a Schedule C drug, the dangerous facts of cannabis, and what we’ve learned from Colorado since it legalized the drug. Dr. David Closson, Director of the Center for Biblical Worldview at FRC, shares from the Biblical Worldview Conference in Ohio, Senator Josh Hawley’s amendment to defund Planned Parenthood, the evolution of gambling, and what we can discern from the alleged betting on the capture of Venezuelan Dictator Nicolas Maduro by a U.S. Soldier who had insider information.
