He co-authored Missouri’s law legalizing adult use, cultivation and sales of ma*****na and Chaired the Advisory Board of the 2022 campaign which passed that law, now Article XIV, Section 2 of Missouri’s Constitution.

Could Tennessee voters finally have their say on medical cannabis?
A new bill in the legislature would place a non-binding question on the 2026 statewide ballot asking whether the state should legalize medical cannabis.

Join us for a live interview with lobbyist and dedicated cannabis law reform advocate Melissa Bast who will explain the bill, the strategy behind it, and what it could mean for Tennessee. Jackson TN H**p Fest founder Kindall Thomas will conduct the interview.

Tune in and bring your questions.

Important conversations about cannabis policy are continuing across Tennessee. We appreciate opportunities like this to help keep the conversations moving forward and ensure the voices of patients and voters are heard.

Some Tennessee Republicans said a medical ma*****na program could be just a few years away, signaling a possible shift in the legislature that has long resisted legalizing medical cannabis.
