Before Casting His Vote For Medical Marijuana, Utah Senator Films Himself Trying Cannabis For The First Time (Video)

This Utah senator is taking the old standby “don’t knock it till you try it” and applying it to his legislation vote for medical marijuana!

For the November 6th midterm voting, Utahns and senators will be able to vote for or against the legalization of medical marijuana.

Senator Jim Dabakis (D-Salt Lake) decided the best way to make an informed decision was to try it himself and go from there!

So, Dabakis hopped in the car and drove to a dispensary in Nevada where recreational cannabis use is legal and tried a medicated gummy bear on Facebook Live!

Now, he is all for Proposition 2 and is hoping his fellow senators and Utahns will do the same, especially when it comes to trying it before they vote.

“I think if the legislature would actually try it they would find it and realize this is no big deal,” he said. “At least let those who are suffering have the help that they need.”

We can probably assume which way the vote will go considering it is Utah we’re talking about here but hey, hats off to this guy for trying!
