IA: More events with former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson

Message: 

Beginning on Monday, August 30, Iowa Patients for Medical Marijuana and MPP grant recipient Jimmy Morrison will be holding another three forums throughout Iowa with former New Mexico governor and marijuana policy reform champion Gary Johnson (R). Johnson is the honorary chair of the Our America Initiative, which seeks to “enlighten the population about civil liberties, free enterprise, limited government, and traditional American values.” He was recently named one of five likely Republican presidential candidates by the Washington Examiner and is the only rumored major candidate of either party who supports the legalization of marijuana at this time.
