    The Department of Defense has received backlash for spending taxpayer money to pay professional sports teams to do patriotic displays with veterans when what vets really need is better healthcare, jobs and affordable housing. In addition, the Death Penalty Information Center recently released a report revealing that about 300 U.S. veterans are currently on death row in prisons across the nation because the justice system has failed to take into account the impact PTSD and other mental issues can have when they return from combat.

    Ohio voters recently rejected an initiative that would have legalized recreational and medical use of weed in their state by an overwhelming 64 percent.

We discussed the opposition to Issue 3 as well as the privatization of marijuana with Jon Walker, writer for Massroots and the author of “After Legalization: Understanding the future of marijuana policy.”
