California Governor Jerry Brown was on CNN’s State of the Union this past Sunday November 11, 2012. Candy Crowley and Governor Brown discussed the recent election results, his push for tax hikes and the push by states for cannabis reform.

It’s almost a 20 minute interview, but the conversation on the recent cannabis wins on election day starts just after the 16 minute mark through the end of the interview.

Although I strongly disagree with Governor Brown’s comments during this interview on California medical marijuana as well as cannabis being a ‘dangerous chemical’ and how murders get started with marijuana; he’s entitled to his (misinformed 1930’s) opinion and he doesn’t give alcohol a free pass. Much more importantly, the Governor respects the will of the people and states’ rights.
