Nick Mortillaro and Shaun Salvaja talk with Rachel and Russ about the language in the House adaptation of SB3. It is initially not a good looking bill for fans of Smokable Hemp. And reads as though HB28 has turned into SB3 for the time being. Next the full House of Representatives will vote on the bill. We urge you to reach out to your congressman and say NO TO SB3!
