Rick Steeves interview on Leafly, an encouraging good read

Rick Steeves is known as a travel person, but he's much more and he's a smart man. One of the things he's been doing for awhile is advocating for marijuana legalization. He says, "Prohibition is racist, smoking marijuana is a civil liberty." As I said, he's a smart man.

The link is to an interview that appeared on Leafly and this is a very short excerpt:

Leafly: There’s this thread of good citizenship in all your work as a traveler, writer, business owner, and community member. How can canna-business people be good citizens?

Steves: There’s plenty of room to be a community leader and also a canna-business person.

I like that idea, because this is what I did at the very beginning of my advocacy: just confuse people with what they expect they’re going to be dealing with, and who this human being really is.

Here’s a guy they like, and they never thought they could like a guy who smokes marijuana. And I prove them wrong—Ha! For me, that’s a beautiful challenge.
