Staff report

Battle Born Politics will return April 5 with a beer hall forum on marijuana in the state.

The Reno Gazette-Journal will once again host Battle Born Politics on April 5 at Craft Beer and Wine Bar from 7-8 p.m. on 22 Martin St. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Battle Born Politics is a casual debate over beer as a way to bring a more relaxed approach to issues. RGJ political reporter Seth A. Richardson will host the event along with marijuana reporter Jenny Kane.

Nevadans voted to legalize recreational marijuana during the November election and lawmakers are currently working on the regulations during the ongoing legislative session.

The RGJ has three special guests working on marijuana issues to help distill what's going on. State Sen. Tick Segerblom, a Las Vegas Democrat often known as the “Prince of Pot” in the state, will join Assemblywoman Jill Tolles, a Republican from Reno who is on the governor’s recreational marijuana task force, and Will Adler, a lobbyist for the Nevada Medical Marijuana Association.
