There's an old saying among public figures: "Sometimes ya just gotta give the people what they want." J. Basil Dannebohm disagrees. The former legislator writes, "While some people are inebriated by hyperpartisan Kool-Aid, I've heard carefully scripted, albeit tired arguments from both sides and will continue to approach my consulting, columns, and life from the middle. Like roughly 45% of Americans (an increase of 2% from 2024), I am an Independent."
J. Basil Dannebohm writes, "True to my word, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to President Donald Trump for delivering on his promise. Though many Republicans across the country, including state attorneys general and legislators, law enforcement, and members of Congress urged him not to reclassify marijuana, he did it anyway."
