At GreenState, we’re doing our best to keep you updated on the latest in cannabis law in the US. That’s why we partnered with Legalization Nation, an explanatory comic strip by Box Brown that provides a perspective for consumers and patients on the complexities of the emerging legal cannabis industry.

Legalization Nation talks about cannabis from a ground-level perspective, addressing issues like the traditional market, patients’ rights, corporate advantage, and more, and compares state cannabis legalization policies to help make sense of a daunting landscape through a familiar medium.

This week, Box Brown wonders whether all the anti-cannabis media stories are propaganda or PR stunts by prohibitionist groups.
